Navigation Software Program |
| |
The Bandon Submarine Cable Council (BSCC) announces a program to provide up to
$300 per vessel of BSCC members who do not currently have a computer-based
navigation software program capable of showing multiple undersea cable routes.
Under the program, BSCC members who would like to use a computer-based plotting
system are given help with the cost of the software. BSCC trawlers that
purchase qualifying software after June 5, 2003 may receive the actual cost of
the software up to $300 per vessel. The vessel owner or a marine electronics
dealer on behalf of a vessel owner can apply for reimbursement for the actual
cost of the software, up to $300. Reimbursement is contingent upon the vessel
purchasing software capable of loading Maptech© AT&T electronic cable awareness
charts on CD after the adoption date of this program, June 5, 2003, and then
loading and maintaining Oregon cable route information in the plotter program.
Vessel owners or marine electronics dealers must provide the BSCC with a copy
of a receipt showing the software purchased, the vessel the software was
installed, the purchase date and the priced paid.
AT&T supplies, free of charge, Maptech electronic charts for the US West
coast. Any software based navigation program that can display these charts
such as P-Sea WindPlot ©, Maptech Offshore Navigator © or Nobeltec Visual
Navigation Suite © qualifies for the program.
Vessels that currently have a navigation software program capable of displaying
the AT&T charts are not eligible for this program but are invited to request a
free chart CD. The goal of this program is to assist vessel owners to obtain
plotter programs that display tows and undersea cable routs in the areas the
vessel fish. The software programs must be licensed legal copies sold by a
marine electronics dealer and only loaded onto one vessel. |
