  12. Cells and Units • Cell sizes vary. • Could lead to differential pricing. • Mariner is familiar and happy with the “Paper Chart” in terms of: • Coverage • Value for money • IC-ENC therefore groups cells into paper chart equivalent Units.

  13. Pricing • IC-ENC is operated on a “not for profit” basis. • Operational costs are funded through a deferred cost recovery mechanism. • IC-ENC retains a fixed amount for each ENC unit that it sells to its VARs. • This fee is capped at $5, so an HO that sets a wholesale price of $12 will receive $7 for each sale that a VAR makes.

  14. VAR Status 6 VARs now appointed: • UKHO (Admiralty) (July ’02) • C-Map (May ’03) • 7Cs (Chartworld) (June ’03) • Transas (June ’04) • NHS (PRIMAR-Stavanger) (June ’04) • Kelvin Hughes (July ’04)
