OpenC247 is fresh concept in nautical charts and publications on demand from navigation experts.
It offers paper and electronic charts and publications for your bridge – without hassle or commitment. The portal has been created as a non-subscription model for any captain of a leisure or commercial vessel – from a superyacht to a super tanker.
You can get immediate access to what you need without lengthy subscriptions, tie-ins or hassle. Just plot a route, select the charts and take a step towards remaining compliant. We also include access to NavArea warnings, NTMs, free chart updates and publication corrections as you need them for complete peace of mind.

It takes just 60 seconds to register – and then you’ll be able to find and pay for all your charts and publications. No minimum contract term. A compliance certificate on demand. And free corrections and updates. Check out our FAQs below, or our How it works page for more information.
