The top of the range Electronic Chart Systems (ECS) of Chartworx are most suitable to support safe navigation for ships falling under the SOLAS rules and are as such in use on board of a considerable number of ships for which these regulations are applicable.

Chartworx is market leader in the fishing industry with its Quodfish and TRAX fish plotters. A considerable number of trawlers in Western Europe are equipped with Chartworx fish plotters. Chartworx E-Logbook for the fishery has been approved by both the Netherlands and British Fishing Authorities and in use on board of a significant number of fishing vessels in both The Netherlands and the United Kingdom for which the carriage of an electronic log book is mandatory.
Chartworx Electronic Chart systems for the leisure market support all the essential functions, derived from the
systems produced for the professional market, particularly those related to safe navigation. In addition, the systems
are enhanced with many features relevant for use on board of sailing and motor yachts.
The Quodfish® and TRAX® systems are time-proven Electronic Chart Systems tailor-made for both fishing and navigation.
Numerous powerful and relevant user functions have been developed with the assistance of many fishermen.
These functions combined with detailed charts and information from connected sensors give fishermen the best possible
display of their fishing grounds. Chartworx Fish Plotters can save and store an unlimited amount of user data for
instant display or for later viewing and analysing.
TRAX® systems provide the same user-friendly basic functions as the Quodfish systems, although they differ significantly
on the outside because of their unique “icon steered” human interface compared with the Windows pull down menus of the
Quodfish..
The by Chartworx provided C-Map Professional+ vector chart data give fishermen the option of displaying only the
data deemed necessary at a given time. Own user information can be displayed on the screen and stored in separate files
on the disk. The saved information can be shared with other users.
Chartworx systems offer a most sophisticated and state of the art three-dimensional display of the seafloor.
The 3-D image is derived from the chart information supplemented by bathymetric data based on official surveys from
Hydrographic Offices and echo sounder observations from users. All Chartworx systems can be extended with an
AIS module for a very competitive price. In some systems however the AIS module comes for free.
All Chartworx Fish Plotters support real time conversion for data from some other systems while other data
formats can be converted into Quodfish or TRAX format in-house.
The Windows based systems are because of the software being continually updated to the latest market requirements and
the favourable conditions of the software maintenance contract the best long term solution for the fishing industry.
The complete manual is part of the system as well and can be called up as a ‘Word’ or Adobe document simply by clicking
on the Chartworx logo on the screen.
