ECDIS - ADMIRALTY ECDIS SERVICE
Overview
The Admiralty ECDIS Service combines the most accurate official vector and official raster electronic charts available to deliver global electronic chart coverage in a single, easy to manage package.
The Admiralty ECDIS Service provides ENCs where available and ARCS charts where not. This IMO-approved combination enables shipping companies to reap the benefits of ENCs while coverage is still growing, and helps to make the most of investment in Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS).
Chart coverage in the ECDIS service is provided in 38 geographic areas - each geographic area containing ENCs, where available, together with comprehensive ARCS coverage. The geographic areas have been designed to simplify both the ordering process and pricing, whilst minimising the number of ENCs and ARCS charts the vessel requires.
Within each area there are up to three separate folio categories: Transit Folio, Standard Folio and Full Folio. These folio categories have been designed to appeal to passenger liners, container ships, crude oil tankers, product tankers, chemical carriers, gas carriers and UK ferries. It is anticipated that these folios will not be as well suited to naval vessels, non-SOLAS tonnage, bulk carriers, coastal traders or pleasure craft.
Licencing
ECDIS licences are for a 12 month period, within which you will hold a complete set of Base disks containing every ENC and ARCS chart available within the service. Access is provided by special folio 'unlock' (permit) keys, allowing you to carry global coverage whilst only paying for the level of folio coverage you require. Significantly, this allows the flexibility to upgrade coverage during a licence period.
