30/09/2025

A smarter alternative to radar ownership with predictable costs, simpler compliance, and future-proof performance

Hamburg, Germany – October 2025 ChartWorld International is proud to announce the expansion of its innovative Radar as a Service (RaaS) offering, featuring the Raymarine Commercial Pathfinder 27 CAT-1 radar system. This subscription-based model is now available globally, delivering the latest solid-state radar technology, guaranteed compliance, and predictable operational costs for SOLAS-class vessels.

ChartWorld’s RaaS model eliminates the need for large capital expenditures and ongoing maintenance concerns. Instead, shipowners benefit from a fully managed radar solution that includes hardware, servicing, software updates, and remote diagnostics—all under a single, predictable subscription.

“With Radar as a Service, we’re not just offering radar—we’re offering peace of mind,” said Stephan Dimke, General Manager at ChartWorld. “Pathfinder delivers superior solid-state radar performance, lower ownership costs, and guaranteed compliance, all backed by ChartWorld’s global support infrastructure.”

Key Benefits of ChartWorld CAT-1 Radar as a Service:

  • Lifetime Warranty – Ensures continuous compliance and eliminates unexpected costs
  • Predictable OPEX – Subscription covers servicing, spares, and upgrades
  • Guaranteed Compliance – Automatic updates maintain IMO/IEC standards
  • Fleet Scalability – Easily deployable across multiple vessels
  • Digital Integration – Seamless compatibility with ChartWorld’s eGlobe and MyFleet platforms

Complementing ChartWorld’s ECDIS as a Service Offering

ChartWorld pioneered the concept of ECDIS as a Service, offering ship operators, technical managers and ship owners a fully managed navigation solution that eliminates upfront costs, ensures regulatory compliance, and minimizes downtime. With Radar as a Service now joining the portfolio, operators can benefit from a unified, subscription-based ecosystem for both radar and ECDIS—streamlining bridge operations, simplifying budgeting, and enhancing fleet-wide digital integration. Together, these services provide unmatched convenience, reliability, and cost-efficiency for modern maritime navigation.
