9.1 General
The chart database should always be updated with the latest
available information, and all chart suppliers will offer an
update service. Refer to separate information from the supplier
that has delivered charts to your CS system.
In addition to official chart updates, it is possible for the user to
enter mariner objects to the chart database.
9.2 Official chart updates
SOLAS convention requires that all charts must be updated for
intended voyages. Before planning a new route or prior to
updating an existing voyage, it is required to receive the latest
chart updates.
All chart updates will be stored in a separate update database,
and it will be possible to review any updates whenever selected.
Automatic chart updates
The chart suppliers will offer different updating procedures for
the chart subscribers. It can be done by connecting the system to
the supplier’s server, by CD, DVD, floppy or USB flash disk.
Information about available update procedures is therefore
required from the chart suppliers.
Manual updates
Manual update is only to be used for official chart updates.
Other chart information can be added to the chart by using the
Mariner Object function. Refer Adding Mariner objects, page
108.
Manual updates are added to the chart by tapping the Tools
menu and Manual Update command, and then selecting either
Add Object or Add Notice To Mariner commands.
Add Object command is used when entering chart updates
without references to official Notice to Mariners, while Add
Notice To Mariner command demands information obtained in
Notice to mariners received from the authorities.
When Add Object command is selected, the Add New Update
Object dialog is displayed.
