New SIMRAD Chart Systems

Simrad has launched a new Electronic Chart System (ECS) range for a broad selection of applications. The CS50 and CS60 series chart systems have been designed to fulfil various navigation needs, from full route planning on the go to fixed routes for high-speed craft, work-boats and super-yachts. The CS50 Series is primarily designed for operation on coastal ferries and high-speed craft and is available in two versions. The CS55 features a compact Simrad Marine Computer (MC) with up to four interface ports, while the CS56 version comes standard with a very powerful Simrad MC offering up to ten serial interface ports. The CS56 is also available with a RAID solution to enable uninterrupted operation should a hard disk fail. The CS55 and CS56 are also particularly suited to vessels working on fixed routes such as ro-ro ferries or local supply vessels.
The CS60 series provides full flexibility and has been designed for applications where ongoing route planning is required. Different views and windows may be selected at user discretion, enabling ease of input. Care has been taken to remove less important information so as to provide as much available chart area as possible.
