Norway Institute of Marine Research takes up NaviTab

Norway’s Havforskningsinstituttet (Institute of Marine Research) has announced that it will use NaviTab across its’ fleet.

NaviTab from Nautisk is the industry’s fastest growing online library system, taking hundreds of vital maritime publications and putting them onto one hand-held device.

Odd Jarle Pollen from the Institute says:

“NaviTab will significantly improve our front and back of bridge management, leaving us to focus on important research work. As well as being fully up to date and compliant, it is easy to use and features such as the ability to make our own annotations and bookmarks in frequently used publications are a huge advantage. We look forward to rolling it out across our vessels.”

With a staff of almost 750, the Institute of Marine Research is Norway's largest centre of marine science. Its’ main task is to provide advice to Norwegian authorities on aquaculture and the ecosystems of the Barents Sea, the Norwegian Sea, the North Sea and the Norwegian coastal zone. For this reason, about fifty percent of its’ activities are financed by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries.
