NovacoHub

Navigational data and vessel tracking

NovacoHub overview

NovacoHub is a combined hardware and software solution for commercial and leisure vessels, that delivers and integrates secure navigation data to the bridge, as well as real-time tracking and vessel positioning information.

It is simple to install, fitting to the wheelhouse with two clips and connects via Cat5e Ethernet cable. Once powered up – literally plug and play since it self-configures – it immediately provides valuable information to vessel and shore using smart technology from Novaco.

NovacoHub can function as a standalone technology, but also integrates seamlessly with NovacoBridge for a complete navigation and fleet tracking solution.

Navigation data delivery

Cyber secure ECDIS chart updates

With built-in cyber security your ECDIS can connect directly to NovacoHub, providing direct ENC & AIO updates as they are made available. No more missing updates, non-sequential updates, or missing base files. NovacoHub eliminates DVDs or high virus risk USB stick transfers.

ADMIRALTY on board

NovacoHub delivers the full AVCS, AIO, ADP and AeNP product ranges and more to any networked device, meaning that you can access and load any ENC cell or eBook at any time.

Digital publications

As with the ENC service, your e-Readers can connect directly to NovacoHub, providing direct ADP, AeNP and other updates as they are made available. No more missing updates, non sequential updates, missing base files. No more DVDs, or high virus risk USB stick transfers. Simple and direct access to the latest updates.

Paper charts & publications

Paper chart users can also take advantage of NovacoHub, with continuous access to the latest NtM information.

Navigational Warnings

NavArea warnings are received and stored on NovacoHub. This provides detailed access with the possibility of viewing them as part of a route overlaid on a chart. Only see what affects your voyage, or review them on demand.

Compliance made easy

With NovacoHub, you can be sure that all available updates are accessible when you need them. No more worrying about missing updates, new cells or eBooks or even missing data in the event of a PC reinstallation.

PAYS

Used in conjunction with our Pay As You Sail service, NovacoHub tracks your vessel with a high degree of accuracy and calculates the charts that fall “under the keel”. You are then charged for the cells “under the keel”, and not also for charts that fall within a wide corridor of +/- km as with other PAYS providers.

Vessel tracking

NovacoHub allows you monitor a single vessel or, with multiple installations, your entire fleet’s location – as well as surrounding vessels – free of charge.

Independent vessel tracking

NovacoHub removes reliance on existing bridge AIS, GPS or radar. Simply provide power and the unit will start to record the global position of the vessel and maintain a positional history.

Relative vessel location

NovacoHub also collects data (IMO, call sign, MMSI, vessel name and position) from surrounding vessels (up to a 30 mile radius) and displays their position on a map relative to your vessel.
