Navmaster ECDIS was selected because it is easy to operate and comes
with a simple training method.”Michael Martin, managing director of Bogerd Martin, added:“PC Maritime has proved to be a reliable and forward-thinking
partner for the supply of ECDIS to our customer base in China. The
Navmaster ECDIS provides real value for money and this important order
from China Shipping Group confirms this.”The vessels vary in size between 46,000dwt and 76,000dwt. Ten vessels already have single Navmaster ECDIS installed and the remaining 40 bulk carriers are to be equipped during the next 12 months. Later on, China
