On 16 January, 2025 IHB Shipping completed migration to NAVTOR e-Navigation solutions across the managed fleet.
NAVTOR has developed unique shore-ship ecosystem, uniting office and bridge to one integrated working space. This aligns with IHB Shipping’s “one company - one team” founding principle, which has become one of our most distinctive features to crews and employees.
IHB Shipping’s decision to activate the complete package of navigational services allows digital logbooks and fleet monitoring to be effortlessly added at later stage. Package includes:
NAVBOX - an automated solution that links the ship and the service provider. Installed as a hardware box within onboard networks, NavBox continually ensures vessels have the data they need always up to date.
NavTracker - connects fleet and allows office team to access board digital navigational information. The software, available for both PCs and as a mobile application, delivers a complete overview of chart usage, update history, vessel tracking and service management.
NavStation – an advanced planning tool with access to an array of digital navigational information incorporated additionally serves as an official ENC charts backup. The Passage Planning module improves administration for bridge officers, automating processes and easing workloads. The Auto Routeing module prepares a compliant route suggestion in seconds. This quickly provides an overview of the passage and can be used with only minor adjustments for final route planning.
Feedback from our Masters and navigational officers is positive. We believe that partnership with NAVTOR will improve safety, efficiency and effectiveness in bridge operations, while also reducing workload for both crew and shore-based staff.
