Chart Assistant Utility
Chart Assistant (CA) is the standard Chart administration tool for all Transas onboard systems which use Charts. CA is used to administrate all chart formats used in Transas navigation systems. Chart Assistant allows accomplishing the following tasks:
- Ordering of chart licenses, charts and chart updates
- Installation of charts and charts updates
- Status report for ship/management and for inspections (Vetting, Port State Control, etc.)
CA can use the e-mail system to automatically collect chart licenses, charts and chart updates from the mailbox using SMAPI (Simple Messaging Application Programming Interface). The updates are then applied to the ship’s chart collection.
