Electronic Chart Centre:
Designing the chart solutions of tomorrow using cutting edge GIS technology
We focus on developing tools and services used to enhance safety across sea, land, and air.
Supporting the PRIMAR RENC
with world-leading ENC validation and distribution technology
We are the technological and strategic partner of the Norwegian Mapping Authority for the delivery of PRIMAR, a leading regional electronic chart coordinating centre. With a global database of over 20,000 charts, PRIMAR supports safe navigation by delivering high-quality electronic navigational charts (ENCs) and other navigational data to maritime users worldwide.
Identifying disturbances on the GPS signals
for the Norwegian Coastal Administration
In collaboration with the Norwegian Coastal Administration and the Norwegian Communications Authority, we develop an advanced web-based solution designed to analyze extensive AIS data streams and detect GPS disturbances along the Norwegian coast. This innovative tool equips national vessel traffic service centres with critical insights into vessel positions and GPS-related events, enabling enhanced monitoring and response capabilities to ensure maritime safety and operational efficiency.
Visualising safe landing zones
for Air Ambulance and SAR in Norway
In times of crisis, time is of the essence. In close collaboration with the National Air Ambulance Services of Norway, we provide and continuously develop LZ North - a mobile application to increase helicopter navigation safety. Used by all actors within the Norwegian rescue helicopter and air ambulance service, LZ Northit displays helicopter landing zones while continuously being updated with aviation obstacles and hazards from helicopter pilots and . Available for web, iOS and Android.

TEST BLOGG: The Pilot Service: S-102 Depth Data Benefits Navigation & Environment (Clone)
For the pilot service, the S-102 bathymetric data under the new S-100 standard holds significant promise for enhancing navigation and planning, ensuring safer voyages, faster transit, reduced fuel consumption, and subsequently contributing to reduced climate emissions.
TEST BLOGG: How S-102 Bathymetric Data is Produced (Clone)
When you download detailed depth data encoded in accordance with the new S-102 standard, it has undergone an extensive process before you can utilize the information for navigation planning or developing new solutions. Let’s explore the entire process from data collection and quality control to distribution and operational use.
TEST BLOGG: Helping the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) Leverage S-100 Data
