Its Intel Core i7 Processor delivers powerful processing and its caching system enables ENCs to be loaded and displayed faster. Type Approved by DNV GL, the SEALL ECDIS is compatible with all commercial ENC services including AVCS and Primar products and is priced to make it affordable to shipping companies, including those wanting to retrofit a highly efficient and fully compliant solution.
