SevenCs Offers New ENC Tools
SevenCs GmbH released the new generation of the ENC Tools, which are available in a customizable solution and consist of seven individual modules. This approach allows clients to use individual software modules for data validation and optimization either within an existing chart production environment, or to use the entire software suite as a complete production environment. In addition, it is easy to use and cost efficient which was the main argument for the IHMS (Montenegro) to choose SevenCs. Bjoern Roehlich, Sales Director of SevenCs, has a clear focus: “Our goal is to increase ENC coverage in a safe and efficient way in all areas of the world.
(Sub) Chapter M Finally Surfaces
For inland operators, Compliance, Safety & Technology make for heavy river traffic as software providers descend on a rapidly approaching, potentially lucrative niche market.

Pending USCG Subchapter “M” (SubM) regulations will eventually require towing operators to implement safety standards and use safety management systems, or alternatively, allow for an annual Coast Guard inspection regime. The new rules are expected to allow towing vessel organizations to customize their approach to meeting the requirements, while providing oversight using audits, inspections, and reviews of safety data.
