Navtex Manager

Manufacture

Onboard systems/ Navtex Manager
provides the automatic overlay of the NAVTEX information on the electronic chart

Navtex Manager is an innovative application based on a link between the Navi-Sailor and the Navtex Receiver.

Main functions

1.	Constant automatic reception of NAVTEX messages
2.	Automatic generation of NAVTEX message database and storage of the data
3.	Automatic extraction of latitude/longitude position from a Navtex message and its plotting on an electronic chart using special symbols
4.	Viewing and maintaining of the messages database and preparing data for Navi-Sailor products processing

Implementation of all these highly useful functions can be obtained using any standard Navtex Receiver which has output to a parallel printer. Alternatively, the Navtex Manager’s functions may be achieved with the use of Transas dedicated Navtex Receiver hardware.

Benefits
The Navtex Manager substantially relieves the workload of the bridge watch-keeping personnel, thus contributing to increasing the safety at sea. The Navtex Manager is included as an option in all current Navi-Sailor systems from Transas.
