NAVTOR has partnered with Risk Intelligence to integrate its maritime security risk data into the NavStation route planning platform.
NavStation combines weather, port, regulatory and navigational updates into a single planning application. The new feature, released with NavStation 6.4, will provide real-time notifications on risks including piracy, geopolitical unrest, smuggling, and GPS jamming, layered directly onto ENCs.
“The dynamic nature of risk has never been more apparent. From conflict and ongoing geopolitical unrest, to piracy, narcotics, and people smuggling – in addition to increasing navigational jamming and spoofing – today’s shipping companies face a complex and ever-evolving threat landscape,” said Timo Essers, e-Navigation Director at NAVTOR.
“Navigators are, in many ways, on the front line here, and as such are under immense pressure. How can they be expected to know exactly what is happening, where it is happening, assess a multitude of parameters, and ensure safe voyages?”
“Risk Intelligence is the global leader in monitoring, validating, analysing, and assessing threats with a dedicated team of experts worldwide. They chew through huge amounts of sources to deliver digestible insights that inform safe decision-making. Integrating that intelligence into the maritime’s best planning platform provides huge value for our customers.”
The service will be offered on subscription, either for individual vessels or fleets, with the option of full global coverage or temporary access for specific operations. Data will be continuously updated, with detailed analysis available through individual notifications.
Other updates in NavStation 6.4 include improvements to functionality, routing and the port database.
