The chart format is also considered in here, if there are charts of the same scales found, then at first the ENC
charts will be used for checking because of priority the ENC charts are having the highest priority. In the figure
below there is example of route leg WPT18-WPT-19, which goes through the different charts.

Chapter 5. Handling of Charts and Chart Information Pay As You Sail (PAYS) Service
119
General
Main purposes with the PAYS service is to simplify process of using TADS (SENC/ENC) chart data onboard,
give the navigator access to the actual charts for pre-planning and provide a cost effective chart solution.
Traditionally the navigator have to selects and purchase charts intended (needed) prior to each voyage and
place a chart order at Transas via the chart server or a local sales office. This method is called Pre-licensing.
With the Pre-licensing method the user must purchase and have license for a chart to be able to view the
chart data other than just the chart frame even for just planning.
With Transas PAYS service the vessel will have license and access to view and pre-plan in all charts without
additional cost. The vessel will only be charged for charts actual used for navigation, i.e. charts that have
been under the vessel and been displayed or generated navigational alarms.
The process of chart selection, ordering, receiving and installing are time-consuming and requires additional
education for the user. There is also the safety aspect for the vessel to always have all charts available in his
ECDIS. Chart may be required urgently caused by a changed port of call, alternate route planning or weather
conditions.
Part of the PAYS service is a secure Online connection of vessels ECDIS to Transas Chart server via Internet.
This is done through Transas Firewall and Antivirus Protection device (TFAP/Transas Gateway).
The TFAP/Transas Gateway is a DNV Type Approved solution that allows connection of ECDIS via LAN to ships
Ethernet and SAT comm. system.
A huge benefit with the TFAP/Transas Gateway and the secure online Internet connection is that Transas can
provide Remote support on ECDIS. After request to and approval of the Captain, Transas service and support
engineer can give the crew support and if needed demonstrations on ECDIS online and in real time.
Chart corrections and updates for TADS, including NTMs with the AIO service are supplied online to the
vessels ECDIS. The normal and most effective way to manage and receive chart corrections and NTMs is to
order them based on route for the actual voyage.
There are still a few countries that do not allow PAYS service for their ENCs.
These are at present China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malacca Straits and Singapore and Thailand.
Charts for these countries must still be pre-licensed/purchased in the normal way.
This is done with the chart ordering and management system in Navi-Planner 4000. The procedure to Prelicense is easy and convenient for the navigation and normally done based on the route and waypoints
intended to be used. The chart management application will always help and support the navigator to have
the most cost-effective chart selection.
Short summary, to make TADS chart usage more simple, save time and cost as well as provide tools and data
for efficient voyage planning and management, Transas PAYS service will provide possibility for the vessel to
have license and install all available TADS charts (SENC/ENC) in Transas ECDIS.
120
The user will be able to see all of the charts for free during route planning and will be charged only for the
charts that have been under the vessel and loaded for route monitoring or alarms in ECDIS during the
actual voyage.
For the few countries that still do not allow PAYS, TADS Charts have to be Pre-licensed.
TADS Chart corrections and AIOs are supplied online. Vessels normally only order and receive corrections
charts needed for the actual voyage.

The Onboard Data Server is intended for maintaining automatically the up-to-date status of the ship charts
collection.
Attention! The Onboard Data Server is designed for work with TADS SENC format charts only.
For the Onboard Data Server operation, it is necessary to create a backup copy of the base TADS disk which is
issued every three months. After this, once a week when the updates become available on the coastal Chart
Server, the Onboard Data Server automatically establishes a link with it and notifies the Nav Officer that there
are new updates. Upon his approval, it downloads the updates.
Note: For the Chart Delivery Server steady operation good Inet connection is required.
If the connection is broken in the course of downloading, after its recovery the process is resumed, the data
already downloaded taken into account.
After the updates have been downloaded, Navi-Planner 4000 offers to install it. After the Nav Officers
approval updates are installed.
Check Create backup of chart media. Needed for Onboard Data Server checkbox and press Install selected items
button. Back up copy will be created.
172
If some storage is re-scanned in the course of the backup copying, the following message will appear:
Press the Yes button to continue creating the backup copy; in doing this, it is necessary to check that the disk
is in the drive, and the memory stick is connected. Press the No button to stop the operation.
The hint advises the availability and size of updates. Press this button.
The button will change its form, and the downloading of updates will begin. The hint shows the size of the
downloaded updates.
If the downloading process is interrupted for some reasons (e.g., absence of the Inet), the button will change
its appearance.
The hint displays information on the downloaded updates size. To resume the downloading when the
connection is recovered, press this button (or the downloading will be resumed automatically in an hour)).
After all the updates have been downloaded, the button will change its form to
this button.
