222 years ago the Admiralty printed the first paper charts for commercial use. For almost two centuries mariners used these as their primary means for navigation. With the digitalization really picking up speed in the early 2000's, the demand for paper charts has declined every year.
Previously, compasses needed to be adjusted with an onboard adjuster. However, RACA has created a new possibility: remote assisted compass adjustment out at sea or after leaving a port. What are the differences and how does this work? Datema Nautical Safety will gladly provide an easy step-by-step guide on how to adjust a compass with RACA.
We proudly present our newest innovation: our own iPad for supplementary/backup professional navigation onboard vessels. This iPad is equipped with navigational software that has all the features which an ECDIS system has. It can be delivered with a wireless pilot plug device (PPU) that allows all sensor data to be integrated, including the AIS information. Furthermore it is compatible with all common chart formats, including official S63 ENC/AVCS charts.
