Nautical Instruments
Delivery scope of nautical instruments is based on the standard list prepared by the ship owner. Some of the instruments are manufactured by Weilbach.
Charts
The chart list is based on the expected area of operations of the vessel, which is supplied by the ship owner. Weilbach finds the charts, either paper or digital, which are necessary for safe navigation in the area and also for calling the ports in service. We struggle to keep the quantity of charts on safe minimum. Additionally, the transit charts for world wide coverage are delivered for emergency situations. The quantity varies between 200 and 750 paper charts and the charts may originate from different suppliers in order to secure the best coverage.
Finally the chart list is passed to the vessel for approval.
Publications
Based on the type of the vessel, Weilbach finds the relevant publications for the vessel, using the publication list, which is beforehand accepted by the ship owner. The list is maintained by Weilbach so the publications included fulfil the requirements from authorities, national flag states, classification societies and the internal requirement of the ship owner.
The exact publication list, which usually contains between 200 and 400 items and originates from several publishing houses, is passed on via email to the vessel for approval.
The lists of charts and publications are prepared without any cost to the ship owner.
In order to secure the complete scope of supply we recommend 3-4 weeks delivery notice, however in extraordinary situation, e.g. when a retrofit vessel is being taken over, we can supply a complete delivery of instruments, charts and publications with 3-4 day's notice.
