ATOBVIAC

PortToPort Desktop

PortToPort Desktop is part of our AtoBviaC distance calculations software range. This desktop application does not need the internet, making it ideal to be used on ships at sea. It gives access to the AtoBviaC Marine Distance Tables via Windows PCs, making sure the marine distances and route calculations produced are accurate and realistic. The Distance Tables used are automatically updated to use the latest version of the Distance Tables whenever a new release is made, ensuring that subscribers always have access to current distance data.

Advantages of PortToPort Desktop

Offline access

PortToPort Desktop can be installed on a Windows PC to provide offline access to AtoBviaC Marine Distance Tables.

Cost effective

Updates

The Distance Tables used in PortToPort Desktop are updated and expanded regularly to add new ports and to adjust routes and distances to reflect changes in regulations, IMO Ships' Routeing, non-IMO routing schemes, Notices to Mariners and environmental factors. We issue new releases every two to three months. The updates are included in the annual license fee. Updates are downloaded and installed over the internet.

Included features

Accurate distances, the ability to create multi-leg voyages using over 3300 'distance table' ports with full control over routing between ports.

All the Marine Distance Tables products from AtoBviaC include the following:

  • Fully respect all mandatory and recommended traffic separation schemes (as a result, the distance between ports A and B is not necessarily the same as from B to A)
  • Allow the user to change the routing between ports
  • Include comprehensive coverage of oil, dry bulk, gas and container ports
  • Deliver the shortest reduced environmental impact route as a default
  • Use industry approved formulae for calculating the distances for Rhumb Line and Great Circle distances
  • Determine the exact position of both the starting and ending point of a voyage - in a large port this will be a central safe position within the port; for an offshore terminal it will be the waiting area for that terminal; for a single berth it will be a position just off the berth
  • Offers the ability to calculate distances within ECA (Emission Control Area) zones

 

They provide a graphical display of:

  • Emission Control Areas - Shows currently in force and shortly to be implemented ECAs and calculates distances within those areas
  • Marpol - identifies special areas as defined by the Marpol convention
  • JWC Piracy - displays the latest Joint War Committee recommendations on Piracy, Terrorism and Related Perils
  • Loadlines - Shows international loadline zones and calculates distances within the zones
