BUSINESS MANIFEST

In the era of global, mobile, and high-speed Internet, the delivery of data to ships—including electronic charts and publications for ECDIS—is no longer a complicated or expensive challenge. The path from data producer to end-user is becoming simpler and more cost-effective, and the outdated business model built on information speculation is fading away.

The ECDIS-Link business model embraces this evolution and is built on the following principles:

We build honest and transparent relationships with our clients—without overwhelming them with complexity, buzzwords, or inflated claims of innovation.
We offer simple, reliable solutions for straightforward, practical tasks.
We provide fair pricing for services and secure data delivery.
We do not profit from the artificial markups on electronic charts and publications.
We offer universal tools compatible with both our own and third-party navigational products.
We deliver solutions that are both affordable and dependable.
We leverage the Internet as our foundation, while actively working to build a global dealer network for sales and support.

We have over 40 years of experience in the field of marine cartography and navigation. Our technologies are used in the production, correction, and quality assurance of electronic charts. Our navigation software operates on thousands of vessels across the world’s seas and oceans.
We were pioneers in automotive navigation during the rise of the Internet in that industry—and now, we are witnessing the same transformation in maritime transport.

The Internet is changing everything: technologies, market leaders, pricing models, service expectations, and quality standards.
ECDIS-Link is an Internet-driven solution—simple, reliable, and efficient.

Join us and see the difference.

If you are a vessel captain and wish to use ECDIS-Link to streamline the service and management of your ECDIS or ECS system, follow these simple steps to get started:

1. Create an ECDIS-Link Cloud Account
Sign up for a personal account in the ECDIS-Link cloud platform. This will serve as your central hub for managing all navigational data and vessel-related services.

2. Register Your Vessel
Add your ship’s details to the system. This allows ECDIS-Link to tailor services and updates specifically to your vessel's configuration and operational area.

3. Select a Distributor
Choose your preferred chart distributor from the list of authorized partners. This distributor will provide you with official navigational data and updates.

4. Start Using ECDIS-Link
Once everything is set up, you can begin using ECDIS-Link to browse, order, and receive up-to-date navigational data directly to your ECDIS or ECS system.

ECDIS-Link makes navigation data management easier, faster, and more efficient—designed with the needs of shipmasters in mind.

Data usage

Captain

Distributer

Supervisor

Depending on the chart provider specified in the service agreement (PRIMAR, IC-ENC), the navigator gains access to catalogs of navigational data such as ENC, ADP, eNP, and more. These catalogs allow for the selection and ordering of data required for safe navigation.
Data selection can be performed in several ways:

– by clicking directly on the map,
– by importing a list,
– by selecting a region,
– or by using the vessel’s current or planned route.

The system automatically compares new selections with previously ordered data to prevent duplication and unnecessary purchases.

CATALOG OVERVIEW

Orders for navigational data are placed in the ORDER section, within the relevant subsections for each type of information. Once an order is submitted, it is automatically sent to the selected Distributor, who either approves or rejects the request.

If the order is approved, the requested data is delivered automatically.

Chart updates (notices to mariners) for previously ordered products are applied automatically as soon as they are published by the provider.

ORDERING

Data delivery in ECDIS is carried out either manually via the Deliveries section or automatically to the ECDIS system using a special Get-ENC application or a certified delivery device (router), both of which ensure cybersecurity and data integrity.

DELIVERY

ECDIS-Link offers a range of additional tools for working with navigational data, including:

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Distributor

If you are a data distributor, ECDIS-Link provides you with the tools to manage your clients, collect their requests, and approve orders for the delivery of navigational information.

The first step is to sign a Distribution Agreement, which begins by submitting the relevant application form through the ECDIS-Link website. After review and approval, the official agreement will be sent to you. It comes into effect upon signing.

Your company will then be listed in the ECDIS-Link Distributors Directory, making it visible and accessible to potential clients.

Distributer

Captain

Supervisor

You sign a service agreement directly with the client, in accordance with the laws and regulations of your region.

After that, you submit a request within ECDIS-Link to add the client under your service agreement. Once approved, the client will appear in your client list and gain the ability to send you chart orders through the system.

Client Agreement

The client (typically a Captain) creates and submits an order through their own ECDIS-Link account. Upon your approval, the system will automatically deliver the requested data.

An invoice will be generated and sent to you in accordance with the terms of your Distribution Agreement.

Order Processing

Supervisor

For individual vessels or an entire fleet, a Supervisor role can be assigned within the ECDIS-Link system.

This role allows a designated person—such as a fleet manager, superintendent, or company representative—to automatically receive notifications and updates regarding all activities related to chart orders, deliveries, and data transfers made to the assigned vessel(s).

The Supervisor has full visibility into:

Orders submitted by Captains
Approval status and delivery progress
Data usage history across all supervised vessels

Assigning a Supervisor helps centralize control, improve transparency, and streamline operational oversight across your fleet.

ENCs are Mandatory

ENCs (Electronic Navigational Charts) are digital versions of traditional paper nautical charts that are used for navigation on board ships. In recent years, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has implemented a number of regulations to improve the safety of navigation at sea, and one of the key requirements is the use of Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS).

Learn more

ECDIS is a computer-based navigation system that uses electronic charts and real-time information to provide navigational assistance to the ship's crew. One of the key features of ECDIS is the ability to display and use ENC data, which has become a mandatory requirement for all ships that are required to carry ECDIS under SOLAS regulations.

ENCs are considered to be the most accurate and up-to-date form of nautical chart available, as they are constantly updated to reflect changes in the sea floor, navigational hazards, and other important information. By using ENC data in ECDIS, the ship's crew can benefit from a more comprehensive and accurate picture of the ship's surroundings, which can help to improve safety and reduce the risk of accidents at sea.

In summary, ENC data is mandatory for ECDIS use on board ships, as it provides the most accurate and up-to-date information available for safe navigation at sea.

It is clear that the use of ENC data in ECDIS is mandatory for all ships under SOLAS regulations. This requirement has resulted in increased costs for ship owners and operators who must ensure that their vessels are equipped with the necessary ECDIS technology and up-to-date ENC data.

Why do you need ECDIS-Link?

However, with the availability of the mobile application ECDIS-Link, which allows for easy downloading of ENC data onto a phone, significant cost savings of up to 50% can be realized. This makes ECDIS-Link a suitable solution for all types of ECS/ECDIS needs and clients.

Furthermore, ECDIS-Link is a simple, transparent, and reliable solution that can be used across multiple platforms, including mobile, PC, and web-based platforms. By providing an efficient and cost-effective means of accessing ENC data, ECDIS-Link helps to ensure that ships remain compliant with safety regulations while minimizing the financial burden on ship owners and operators.

"As a navigation expert with years of experience in the field, I can confidently say that ECDIS-Link is a game-changer when it comes to downloading ENC straight to your phone. I have not come across an app like this before, and I am thoroughly impressed by its functionality and ease of use.

ECDIS-Link is a must-have app for anyone who wants to access ENC charts on their mobile device without the need for complicated software or equipment.

In conclusion, I highly recommend ECDIS-Link to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient way to download and navigate ENC charts on their mobile device. Downloading and using ECDIS-Link is a no-brainer, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed."

"Ahoy there! As someone who spends most of his time on a research vessel, I can tell you that ECDIS-Link is a lifesaver. With just a few taps on my phone, I can easily download ENC and have all the information I need at my fingertips. It's saved me countless hours of manually plotting positions and calculating distances. And let me tell you, after spending so much time at sea, I couldn't understand why people were having such a hard time sitting at home during COVID. I mean, come on, it's not like you're constantly battling the elements out there! But I digress. The app is easy to use and has made my job a lot easier. I'd definitely recommend it to my fellow seafarers."

Miguel Ángel Samaniego Hijo

"Let me tell you, amigo, ECDIS-Link has been a game-changer for me and my crew. With our big yacht, we need accurate navigation charts to keep us on course, and this app delivers. It's so easy to download the ENC charts right to our phones, no matter where we are. And let me tell you, we've been all over the world!

I remember one time we were cruising along the Norvegian coast, and a couple of my crewmates got lost in the maze of coves and bays. I teased them that they were more lost than a goat in a vineyard! But thanks to ECDIS-Link, we were able to find our way back to port in no time.

And the best part? The app is so intuitive and user-friendly, even this old salt can use it without any trouble. I know I tend to ramble on sometimes. It's a must-have for any seafarer, whether you're a seasoned captain like me or just starting out. Trust me, amigo, you won't be disappointed."

"As a seasoned navigator on a cargo ship, I've been using ECDIS-Link to download electronic navigation charts onto my phone. The app is straightforward and doesn't glitch, which is essential when working with intricate navigation systems.

ECDIS-Link offers detailed charts, including hazards, buoy positions, and depth information, making navigation much easier. The ability to download the charts to my phone has been helpful in areas with limited connectivity.

Overall, ECDIS-Link has been a reliable navigation tool for my job, and I recommend it for any navigator or sailor in need of detailed charts."

"Look, I gotta tell ya, I was skeptical about this ECDIS-Link thing at first. But man, am I glad I gave it a shot. As a small shipping company owner, I'm always looking for ways to save a buck without putting my ships or crews in danger. And let me tell you, this app does just that. It's easy to use, doesn't cost a fortune, and it's a real lifesaver when it comes to navigating the waters. My three ships and crews are safer than ever, and I'm saving money on top of it all. I couldn't be happier with the decision to use ECDIS-Link."

Christopher Konopelski

"ECDIS-Link has been a lifesaver for my company. As a barge and crane operator, safety is always top of mind, but it can be costly. With ECDIS-Link, we can easily download navigation charts directly onto our phones and tablets, saving us money. It's also incredibly user-friendly, which is a huge plus for my crew. The app works great and I've had no issues with it. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without it now. Highly recommended!"

Alejandro Reynoso

"I've been using ECDIS-Link for a while now and I have to say, it’s a lifesaver. As a captain, I need reliable navigation charts, and with ECDIS-Link, I have them right at my fingertips. It’s so easy to download the electronic charts and use them on my phone. And the best part? It saves me money!

As an Argentinean who has been living in the US for a long time, I appreciate a good bargain. And speaking of bargains, have you heard about the latest political news? Looks like some politicians are giving away free cruises, but only to their supporters. What about the rest of us hardworking folks? Well, we can still save money with ECDIS-Link!

Sorry, got a little off topic there. But seriously, ECDIS-Link is a fantastic app. And as an Argentinean, I know a thing or two about navigating the high seas. So trust me when I say, ECDIS-Link is the real deal. Highly recommend!"
