Marcap is the first offshore player in ADNOC oil fields to employ full digital publications with Bogerd Martin.

In the pursuit of sustainability aligned with the UAE's vision for 2023, and to facilitate immediate availability of mandatory publications, Marcap has decided to outfit the entire fleet with digital publications and charts through the services of Bogerd Martin. The genesis of this collaboration traces back to a pivotal meeting between our Purchasing Manager, Mr. Salam Saeed, and the Head of Technology, Mr. Nelson Morais in the vibrant city of London.

With a vision to streamline vessel operations through digital publications, Salam has been looking for a partner who could seamlessly integrate this digital transition. Bogerd Martin, being an internationally recognized leader in providing navigational publications, charts, software and equipment appeared to be the ideal associate to guide Marcap into the digital world.  

The journey commenced with a trial on Marcap 203 and Marcap Supporter, rigorously testing the system's functionality over six months, by October 2023 the installation has been completed across all vessels. As Marcap’s vessels operate in ADNOC oil fields, an additional authoritative body had to be involved in getting the use of digital publications approved. Through rigorous testing and scrutiny, Marcap has obtained ADNOC approval for the use of digital publications and is now well underway using them.

Salam Saeed, expressing his satisfaction, outlined the project's key benefits:

• Cost Reduction: streamlining operations.
• Elimination of Shipping and Paper Use: no more reliance on physical copies, minimizing the carbon footprint.  
• Real-time Charts, Up-to Date Publications and Swift Delivery: ensuring up-to-date navigational accuracy and access to the latest publications within minutes.
• Simplified Ordering: seamless and efficient procurement.
• Updated Inventory Management: maintaining a real-time overview.

For Marcap, Bogerd Martin represents more than a service provider; it's a one-click gateway to a comprehensive suite of publications. As Salam Saeed sums it up: "All Publications in one click."
