Many pages of corrections sent to the ship all in one time;

Binders of paper on the desk of the Official;

Several hours passed to consult the Weekly Notices to Mariners

in order to select the most urgent corrections;

High possibility to make mistakes, due to the large amount of

work to do;

Risk not to pass the vetting inspections.

ALL THESE DIFFICULTIES BELONG TO THE PAST, WITH

ERACLEA WE SAIL TOWARDS THE FUTURE.

Eraclea Diginotices to Mariners is one of the most efficient services

available on the market, because it simplifies the process of updating of

all the nautical charts and the publications sent by UK Hydrographic

Office. The Eraclea Software has been thought and developed by a

group of experts in the field of telecommunications and navigation.

Eraclea permits to keep constantly updated all the charts published by

UKHO, Admiralty Sailing Directions, List of Lights and Fog Signals

List of Radio Signals and also all the other publications corrected every

week in the Weekly Notice to Mariners issued by UKHO.

which are on the ship and warns

the operator every time that one

of them has been published again,

has been replaced, or cancelled.
