Navtor launches auto-routeing module for digital chart table

According to Navtor, the module works by providing the shortest routes from port to port, waypoint to waypoint, current vessel location to ports, "or from any given point to the huge majority of piers and berths in most major ports". Routes can be altered or compared and adjusted for variables such as water depth and additional ports of call. All restricted areas, traffic separation schemes and other key criteria are taken into account, Navtor said.

"It is an easy-to-use, comprehensive, flexible, day-to-day tool that, we believe, is a ‘line in the sand’ in terms of how officers plan, decide upon and execute routes," Navtor chief executive Tor Svanes said.

The auto-routeing module is available as a subscription service on NavStation, along with other layers including port data, AMVER reporting and weather routeing, among others.
