With ENC coverage increasing every day and costs coming down in the very near future, the paperless option will surely be more inexpensive. Add to this the uncertainty factor associated with the analogue products, of connecting the updates and thus increasing the associated risk during inspections by various port authorities who insist upon having latest updated charts and publications at all times, the paperless option, with the possibility of making data available and updating it at anytime and anywhere, is far more cost effective.
Indirect Costs
And then there are potential savings on the indirect costs, viz., man hours and the possibility of using fuel saving applications, for example, the Voyage Decision Support (VDS) System, which can reduce fuel consumption by as much as 5-6%. Add to this the reduction in the environmental impact and the potential is therefore huge.
On board a tanker on a typical trans-Atlantic route the saving potential during trials over 6 months has been documented to be in the range of USD400,000 per year which is many times more than the expenditure on equipment.
70% af all marine insurance claims are related to navigational incidents, which again add to indirect costs in the form of additional premiums, call money etc. Enhanced safety thus also means lower costs.
