The WMS ChartServer Hosting Service is very flexible and has been optimized for interoperability with third-party services. This enables the end-user to interact with other geospatial data, e.g. weather, tide, land, and satellite.  Besides this, it is possible to integrate the service into third-party applications (e.g. GIS and geo-data viewers) that have WMS-viewing functions.
