SEVENTY-FIVE per cent of the global fleet have are using ADMIRALTY Nautical Publications in electronic format, replacing paper documents.
This comes as the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) said three more flag states approved the use of electronic-nautical publications (e-NPs) and ADMIRALTY Digital Publications (ADP), in a statement.
The decision means that US, Lithuanian and Belgian-flagged ships can now carry ADP and e-NPs while continuing to meet Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) carriage requirements.
The US has a total of 3,614 ships and as a result of the latest flag state approvals, 79 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 SOLAS.
