TRY OUT OUR DEMO CLIENT

Try this Demo Client to experience the Hosting Service in conjunction with US ENCs. ENCs were downloaded from the NOAA website; it may be the case that they do not contain the latest data available from NOAA. By using this service you accept the User Agreement.

Based on our company’s own technology specifically designed to correctly display Electronic Charts, the system takes SevenCs' facilities - WMS (Web Map Service) ChartServer - and integrates a choice of different digital chart products with them.

ChartWorld Hosting Services provides access to a worldwide chart database, always up to date and accessible from every point of the globe. Any web-client or application that supports the OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) standard can easily access and use this service.

CHART PRODUCTS SUPPORTED

The i4-Insight (Lloyd’s Register) Professional+ Charts of this service are the same as are used by a wide range of professional navigation systems (ECDIS and ECS). The service contains the global coverage of Professional+ digital charts.

CHART INFORMATION

The chart images provided by our service are almost identical to the data used on the ship's navigation instruments. Nevertheless, this service is not intended for navigation. Rather, it is intended solely for viewing and retrieving information from digital nautical charts in a web-environment or a company-specific application.

CHART MANAGEMENT

End-users are relieved of the task of installing and/or updating chart data. ChartWorld fully takes care of chart management, giving unparalleled support to every professional chart data user.

GLOBAL BACKGROUND CHART

Our unique worldwide background chart is included, with useful and safety-relevant information on a scale of 1:1.000.000.  Additional information such as traffic separation and more than 4000 main harbour locations bring additional value and safety to users.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

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.
