The ADMIRALTY raster chart service (ARCS) uses the same imagery and symbols as found on the Admiralty Standard Navigation charts thus providing the mariner with a familiar feel to the traditional paper charts. This combined with accurate satellite positioning provided by an electronic chart system (ECS) or ECDIS navigation system can provide the mariner with situational awareness and a tool to better understand critical information when most required.
Weekly updates, provided either via CD or the internet ensure that the mariner or shore-based company has access to complete and up-to-date information. Having the updates loaded electronically saves time and reduces the chances of errors that can occur with the manual updating of paper charts.
The ARCS charts can be licensed on a chart-by-chart basis thereby providing flexibility in your ordering of charts as you only license what you need!
