Admiralty Digital Publications secures Russian approval for digital updates

摘要

» Thomas Gunn Navigation Services has secured approval from the flag state of the Russian Federation for the use of its digital updates on board Russian vessels as the transition to electronic navigation charts gathers momentum. Thomas Gunn Navigation Services supplies Admiralty Digital Publications (ADP), the digital updates, to over two thirds of the world's Flag States. In a drive to improve safety figures, navigators are coming under increased pressure to be more efficient with their time and move from a time consuming labour intensive paper process to a digital approach that allows more flexibility than hard copy and wider interpretation of available data.
