Italy switches to e-Nautical Publications, ADMIRALTY to cut paper work
THE United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) says Italy has now approved the use of e-Nautical Publications (e-NPs) and ADMIRALTY Digital Publications (ADP), to reduce paper wastage.
Benefits of these products include fast electronic updates and easier access to important information mariners need, reducing workload on board and the risk of human error during passage planning tasks.
The Italian flag currently flies on 1,300 ships, including 537 vessels over 2,000 gross tonnes. As a result of Italy's approval, 81 per cent of the global fleet is now authorised to use digital publications in an electronic format in place of their paper equivalents to meet the carriage requirements of the SOLAS Convention.
Senior product manager (Software and Publications) at the UKHO, Christine Trickett, commented in a news release: "Eighty one per cent of the global fleet can now draw upon the benefits of the digital versions of these vital publications, further reinforcing the UKHO's commitment to supporting safe and efficient navigation around the world."
