An e-navigation company from inception, Navtor started life as a challenger to traditional navigation methods. Now their freshly signed[ds_preview] collaboration agreement with Weathernews of Japan keeps them on course to redefine navigation, moving beyond charts and chores and into the very heart of vessel operations. Navtor will significantly upgrade its weather information offering within the route planning software NavStation, and WNI gets direct access to ENC and passage planning, further improving WNI’s service offering. The combined strength of Navtor and WNI enables the development of a ground-breaking artificial intelligence (AI) routing service. The new duo will apply their combined wealth of operational and weather data as a platform to create a new software application that transforms data into detailed, reliable and optimised decision-making tools with real-time capabilities. This novel combination has the potential to revolutionise route planning, efficiency and safety in the maritime industry, the partners said. Navtor introduced NavStation, the world’s first digital chart table, in 2014. As of spring of 2019, Navtor presents NavStation 5.0, with a new and further refined passage planner, a MARPOL Manager module, and an e-Publication Reader with access to other digital publications.
