CalMac confirms Navmaster as ECS choice for fleet

Scottish ferries operator Caledonian MacBrayne has purchased a further five Navmaster Professional, confirming PC Maritime's electronic navigation system as their preferred choice for the fleet.

Ten CalMac ferries are now equipped with Navmaster Professional. Marine Superintendent Captain Norman Jones said:

"What we wanted was a user-friendly and very efficient electronic chart system for our major vessels. We originally trialled other systems but found that PC Maritime's Navmaster was the most suitable. We bought the first system in 2000 and since then have bought more systems for newbuilds and existing vessels. We particularly like the fact that PC Maritime will take note of feedback and comments, and we have seen improvements in the Navmaster system which are the result of our masters' suggestions."

All five new Navmaster systems were installed by PC Maritime's local agent Boat Electrics & Electronics of Troon, with four of them being accomplished whilst the vessels were actually still in service.
