Paper charts reprieved?

Chart publishers Imray Laurie Norie & Wilson (Imray) and Austrian cartographic specialist freytag & berndt (FB) have teamed up, jointly pledging to 'ensure the continued availability and development' of Imray's nautical paper charts and books.

- 

The two companies signed a letter of intent to form FB Imray Laurie Norie & Wilson GmbH (FB Imray), based in Vienna. Bookharbour (Stanfords) will continue as the main UK-based distributor of Imray charts and books.

The joint venture is set to launch this summer.

The focus will be on producing high-quality nautical charts and publications under the Imray brand, while also developing new products tailored to the needs of sailors and advancing digital navigation.
