Jeppesen Marine History

Seatrans project – 20 years ago– Realized limitations of digital nautical charts

C-Map Norway established and joined C-Map in Italy– Started focusing on Commercial Vessels – High Seas– Aimed for World coverage of VECTOR charts by digitizing and vectorizing

paper charts– Cooperated with HOs around the world– Resulted in C-Map World database, on CM93 ed 2 format

Adjusting to the IHO standards– CM93 ed 3 format was harmonized with IHO S57 format– Type approved conversion of ENCs to C-Map SENC format


What is our business?

…to provide navigators around the world with all nautical information necessary for safe navigation, and our strategy is based on co-operation with national HO’s and the support of ECDIS and ECS manufacturers and end-users.

This includes both:– The “Electronic Chart” in ECS and ECDIS

• Providing up to date Vector Charts in or own database – Professional+• Providing up to date ENCs, both in S57 format and our SENC format

– The “Information part” in the information system, like ECDIS• Provide additional information in complying ECS/ECDIS

We are NOT a HW provider– We are dependent on systems in the marked able to use our data


How do we operate?

By cooperating with ECDIS/ECS manufactures (OEM’s) in the market

– Providing our SDK (Software Development Kit), containing all Jeppesen functionality

– The OEMs determine which functionality they will implement– The functionality can be tailored by the OEMs, in order to fit the ”look and feel”

of their own system

By constantly developing our SDK – consequently constantly developing the OEM’s

By providing our customers up to date information– Charts– Weather information


The Jeppesen OEM concept


Some OEM figures

Around 100 qualified system manufacturers have implemented C-Map Jeppesen technology

34 qualified manufactures of Type Approved ECDIS systems have implemented our SDK

Around 70 qualified manufactures of ECS, AIS, Simulators, Survey, VTS, Fleet Management systems etc.

Jeppesen Charts

Are really Jeppesen, or C-Map, only an unauthorized chart provider of ”private” charts ???

NO, definitely not !

C-MAP has always been an industry driving force– Aiming for quality ensured navigational data to the end users

Jeppesen contributes to the ENC production and distribution in several ways

– By facilitating high quality production and supplying production tools– To ensure ENCs distributed to the end users in a secure and efficient way


Jeppesen ENC activies

ENC production tools– Jeppesen offer dKart SW solutions to HOs for ENC and paper chart production

• Used among others by UKHO and the Norwegian HO• Used by several military agencies (FFI, FMGT)

ENC QA tools– Several HOs and agencies involved in ENC production and distribution use

Jeppesen dKart Inspector in order to verify their ENCs to the IHO S57 standard

ENC production– C-Map has been the executive producer of ENC’s for several national HO’s– C-Map has supported several nation’s ENC production


Jeppesen ENC

Jeppesen are authorized distributer of ENCs– both in S57 format– as well as in our own SENC format

Jeppesen will continue to support end-user customer when transferring from various un-authorized charts to ENCs when ECDIS become mandatory

Jeppesen believes in SENC distribution of ENC


ENC distribution on S57 format

ENC distribution in S-57 format from Hydrographic Offices

ENC encrypted in the S-63 format

1. Multiple DVD’s from different sources sent to the vessel

2. Installation of multiple DVD’s3. Decryption of ENC4. Verification of ENC 5. Compilation from S-57

to onboard SENC

If error or warning messages appear, who decides how critical they are?

ENC distribution in S-57 format from Hydrographic Offices

ENC encrypted in the S-63 format

1. Multiple CD’s sent to the vessel

2. Only licensed charts are installed

3. Decryption of ENC

4. Verification of ENC

5. Compilation from S-57

to onboard SENC


Jeppesen ENC

The Jeppesen SENC format is Type Approved SENC distribution is accepted by most HOs Jeppesen SENC database contains most of the

current worldwide coverage of ENCs on one DVD

All charts installed, but only licensed charts available Easy to add new chart licenses if required

All charts are converted and validated on-shore Errors are reported back to HOs for correction

SENC format provide: Increased speed of chart loading onboard Easier way of ENC handling onboard


In addition..

• Jeppesen has Global Coverage of vector charts

• C-MAP Professional+• Used by the majority of

professional marine navigators• Intended for use in ECDIS and ECS• Weekly updated based on NtMs• ISO 19379 Certified


The Dual Fuel concept

ENCs and Professional+ supplied and stored in the same format.

Vector-vector Seamless merging, both horizontally and vertically No switching between databases Avoid sailing into black ”holes”, where no ENCs available Equal presentation and functionality Supported by the same Online Update Service

ENC’s and Dynamic Licensing

All chartsts, updates and licenses available onboard and ready for use.

ENC’s licensed as required When you need a chart it is available immediately

Licenses for new and replaced charts transferred automatically via C-MAP Update Service

Automatic reporting of usage via the C-MAP Update Service

Controlled costs via pre-set budgets and spending limits

A user friendly and cost effective system


Speaking from experience

Money talks…– Most vessels still sails with paper charts as the official chart– Due to price, they combine this with various un-authorized electronic charts

even if ENCs are available

Hard to convert to ECDIS/ENCs– Both Flag- and Port State have to accept ECDIS as a main tool for navigation– Some still doesn’t, and the vessel needs up to date paper charts anyway

In general, use of ENC increase slowly

Has to be enforced by laws/regulations, or price


What’s in the Jeppesen Future?

Continue to support customers with up-to-date charts Support customers with converting to mandatory ECDIS and

supplying ENCs Continue to improve the ”IS” part of our ECDIS strategy and

the ”One Stop Shop” philosophy By delivering onboard decision tools By simplifying administration (e.g. chart management) By adding new functionality into the chart e.g. being able to

display information such as:– Onboard routing– Growler warnings– Whale migration areas (subject to heavy fines e.g. by USCG)– Freak waves– Other ”NO GO” areas
