Folio Management Services
DPM keeps in stock a full, worldwide chart coverage including all UKHO Nautical Publications and a wide range of other publications by various nautical publishers. We also stock digital products including ARCS, IC-ENC and PRIMAR charts together with other traditionally paper based products which are now available in digital format.
The Company has been fully computerised for many years and offers a comprehensive management service to customers. This ensures that the charts and nautical publications on board their vessels whether paper or in electronic format, are kept up to date, thereby aiding safe navigation.
Compilation of Ship's Indexes
We offer expert advice to Ship Owners and Managers on compiling a Ship Index of charts and nautical publications. The Company has developed its own specialised indexes which can be customised to suit the Ship's trading requirements.
New Edition Service
Our new edition service ensures the regular and automatic supply of new editions of those charts and publications contained in the Ship's Index. This service guarantees that the latest editions of charts and publications are carried on board in accordance with the SOLAS requirements.
Despatch of supplies to any port in the world can be arranged at short notice and at very competitive rates.
Certificate of Participation
A unique DPM Certificate of Participation can be issued to all vessels who participate in any of the Company's Chart and Publication Management Services. This certifies those services the vessel participates in and assures any visiting inspectors that the charts and publications carried on board are properly maintained.
Sleeping Folios
Should a vessel's trading area change as a result of a new charter, for example, any charts that are deemed surplus to requirements for the new trading area can be transferred to Sleeping Folios. These folios will not be automatically updated until they are required again for trading when they will be reactivated. It should be stressed that all charts in Sleeping Folios must be kept corrected to date on board.
Weekly Notices to Mariners and Chart Correction Tracings
We supply weekly BA Notices to Mariners together with Chart Correction Tracings to our worldwide customer base and if required US Notices to Mariners and Chart Correction tracings can also be supplied. We can also offer the BridgeDirect system that includes the weekly transmission of digital notices to mariners and tracings by email.
Weekly Chart Correction Lists
For ships using our new edition service, a weekly computer generated chart correction list is also available which identifies those corrections in the week's Notice to Mariners that apply to charts contained in Ship's Index. Navigators find that this service saves significant amounts of time.
Regular News Bulletins
We issue regular newsletter bulletins to customers informing them of any new publications that are available or pending
Digital Products
DPM is constantly monitoring future digital developments and is able to supply electronic charts such as ARCS and IC-ENC and PRIMAR official S-57 ENCS.
