GLOBAL Navigation Solutions (GNS) reports that Breese Schaffer has chosen Voyager navigation software for its new research vessel, the 4,952-tonne (displacement) RV Sonnet, reports London's Digital Ship.
The former fishing trawler will carry the GNS Voyager Package 3, which includes route planning, inventory management and automatic updating of paper and digital charts, as well as ordering and cataloguing, and an AVCS and Admiralty Information Overlay (AIO) viewer.
"We see great operational advantages and cost savings from having our vessels carry the best paper and digital navigational software," says Klaus Bergman from Breese Schaffer.
The ship was launched by German Chancellor Angela Merkel last July and replaces a vessel of the same name, which was in service for 44 years.
"Voyager will provide Sonnet with significant savings on time and cost and ensure the vessel avoids the compliance issues which are a growing everyday headache for ship managers," says Bjorn Wage, managing director of Hermeneutic, Gas’s Hamburg office.
