Nautilus ECDIS Kernel

Nautilus ECDIS Kernel is the next-generation software development kit (SDK) for maritime applications. This S-100-compliant flagship enables a multitude of maritime and military chart formats to be loaded and displayed; it also fulfils the IMO, IHO and IEC requirements for type-approved bridge equipment. The Nautilus ECDIS Kernel also provides the fastest and easiest chart-import technology ever, no matter whether it is used in ECDIS, ECS, shore applications, recreational products or tactical displays. 
The bigger picture is that SevenCs combines the most SDK experience on the market (more than 30,000 licenses sold worldwide) with cutting-edge technology. Indeed, Nautilus ECDIS Kernel sets the new benchmark for maritime SDKs.
