ChartCo, Jeppesen and KH Charts Partnership Allows Innovative Solution for Paper and Electronic Navigational Needs PR Newswire HAMBURG, Germany, Sept. 3, 2012 -- ChartCo will distribute updates for the Jeppesen official ENC service HAMBURG, Germany, Sept. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at SMM Hamburg, industry leaders ChartCo, Jeppesen and KH Charts have announced that they will provide mariners with a unique method of updating official ENCs from Jeppesen via the ChartCo Select service. As part of the tripartite arrangement, KH Charts will also provide Jeppesen customers with paper products. The partnership will allow the transfer of Jeppesen ENC data and updates out to vessels using the proven ChartCo technology at a fraction of the normal transmission costs. This approach, which will give mariners access to automatically updated ENC data from Jeppesen in SENC or S-63 format, will make it extremely simple and exceptionally cost effective for vessels to maintain up to date ENC holdings. Alongside the distribution of Jeppesen data and updates through ChartCo, KH Charts will provide paper charts and publications to Jeppesen customers to provide a complete navigational solution. The combined existing customer base represents at least half of the current SOLAS cargo fleet. "Navigators will have access to all required navigational data through one source," said Jeppesen OEM Strategic Business Manager Paul Elgar.
