References about ENC Track. What do others say?
Here is what our customers who already made the switch to ENCTrack say about the product.
“With ENCTrack there is simply one factor less to worry about. With rapidly changing crews, the procedures for ordering additional ENCs were not always clear. Now we have that covered. It is a beautiful concept. It will save us a lot of work.”
Owner - MV Ammon
“Managing electronic charts is becoming an increasingly cumbersome task in our company. With ENCTrack we are confident that we always have the right charts. The introduction of this idea caused quite a stir in the company - could this really be done?”
Superintendent Wagenborg
“This is a big advantage for us. We are now able to prepare our voyages well in advance, and we can divert at any time. It will certainly be a major safety factor.”
Captain - Dutch Emerald
“The safety argument is certainly valid, but in addition there is the argument of ease of handling. Of course the connections to the ships are getting better, but the hassle of getting the licences and charts onboard in time for the next voyage is over, and deviations from the original plan are much easier.”
Owner - Filia Ariea
“We are convinced that this new system is to be preferred because we have access to all available charts at any time, giving us the liberty of worldwide tramp sailing without having to worry about licences.”
Captain – Fairplayer
“Overall our experience is positive and from our point of view it would be an advantage to use this system permanently. The reason for this is that we have access to all charts worldwide at all times, making it easier to plan voyages. Before we had to determine which charts were likely to be needed in advance and order them, meaning unnecessary charts may have been ordered as voyages can change at the last possible moment. It also meant we had to wait for the new licences to arrive before we could plan the voyage, which took over a week sometimes. From a safety point of view this system also has major advantages as it is no problem to deviate from the planned route for bad weather etc. as you have all the charts at your disposal.”
2nd Mate – Americaborg
“So far it is evident that the trial has succeeded on the user side. Having all charts onboard, the Master doesn't have to worry about whether he has to order new permits for a new voyage; in bad-weather situations he is free to deviate to wherever he likes. The same applies to the office side. It reduces the work pressure. Furthermore, our three other ECDIS-equipped vessels will join as soon as possible. If the choice was ours, these three vessels would be joining this system yesterday instead of tomorrow”
