With the development of ECDIS and the mandate for digital charts, NAVTOR’s founders saw an opportunity to transform maritime navigation. By realising the potential of e-Navigation we could unlock a future defined by transparency, efficiency, safety and performance.
2011 saw the foundation of NAVTOR in Egersund, Norway. Since day one, we have built the business on the cornerstones of in-depth maritime understanding and digital expertise, listening to the needs of the industry and responding with innovative solutions that deliver real competitive advantage.
Brick by brick, we have created a unique e-Navigation ecosystem: crafting a suite of seamlessly connected solutions that provide enhanced operations, decision making and transparency. In partnership with our customers, we continue this voyage of development today.
