Pay As You Sail (PAYS)

ENC licensing model charging only for charts that have been under the vessel's keel during the voyage; ENCs free for planning.

Description

Pay As You Sail (PAYS) is NAVTOR's usage-based ENC licensing model, launched in 2012. It gives immediate access to charts and publications, with all ENCs free of charge for planning purposes.

How it works

  • Vessel tracking data identifies which charts have been under the vessel's keel during the voyage
  • Only those charts are charged
  • The majority of ENCs support PAYS; non-PAYS areas use the licence by route option

Applications

ENC licensing for merchant vessels. PAYS is one of three ENC subscription options, alongside Licence by Route and Standard subscriptions, and charts are delivered and updated through the NAVTOR ecosystem.
