NOTES y y We should create a call-to-action button TAKE A TOUR, linking to a video presentation of our website and its capabilities. Create a big search box for easy navigation. It would add value if we would create a buttondrop list with different sorting (date, importance-mandatory, regulation, organisation).

PORTS y An ATTENTION Button could be added linked to the Piracy Info Page in order to show recent events of Piracy near to the port. Could have a colour Key (RED, YELLOW, GREEN) depending on the percentages of incidents occurred on that area. y y y Add into the Database a Port authority contact details or -Contact details for Search and Rescue Centre or link to Sailing Directions Planning Guides relevant page for the ones that they exist. Add into the database the World Port Index No, from which they could link directly to the book. Distances between US Ports: http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/nsd/distances-ports/

ROUTES DATABASE y Ability to choose different ports or destinations and directed to routes. This will be executed by categorising ports in wider sections, e.g. Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Boston, Massachusetts to the Strait of Gibraltar (Sailing Directions Planning Guides, Pub 140, Appendix II, p.407 & p.461 Appendix-Routes in and around the UK and Ireland)[search for routes in the publication. Further details could also be found in the Sailing Directions En Route for the Sectors

SAFETY ALERTS/ NAVIGATIONAL WARNINGS [Maybe this should go on the INTELLIGENCE s section] On new updates of the charts relevant to the vessel, or publications or regulations or restrictions on cargo safety or environmental issues. E.g. Please note that new weight restrictions (which will affect your freight charges) apply from 1 June 2011 [from the IMO site]. http://www.dft.gov.uk/mca/mcga07-home/workingatsea/mcga-healthandsafety/mcgasafety_alerts-tech.htm

TRAINING MATERIAL This section will be enriched with videos, presentations and maybe with an interactive application/program on how to use NovacoBridge. In addition, we could add training seminars and programs, workshops and online courses. Or we could create a library of videos and training material related to the industry.

Planning Guides need further clarification or extended info which can be obtained by the Radio Navigational Aids publication. E.g. Bulgaria has restricted areas where navigation, fishing and anchoring are prohibited on certain times (S.D. Plan. Guide, pub.140, p.70). The latter is announced by radio navigational warnings. In order to know the time and frequency you may link to Radio Navigational Aids (pub.117, p.105) or, to Radio Aids to Navigation by Country, INDEX I, p.290. [Also for Canada (p.80, 88), Poland (p. 450), UK (p.610)].  International Code of Signals should be link in various cases within the publication. E.g. S.D. Plan.
