About Us, The Company

AtoBviaC, the team which created the Marine Distance Tables, offers a unique mix of expertise comprising software developers, Master Mariners and specialists in Distance Calculations.

In 2003, AtoBviaC responded to the industry's expressed need for a set of reliable and accurate distance calculations that demonstrated a professionalism and consistency commensurate with its corporate values.

A great many distances needed to be recalculated to take account of new routing and environmental considerations. There were also a large number of new ports and terminals not included in the old version of the Tables.

The distances from the Marine Distance Tables underpin many commercial and operational activities. Operators need the ability to accurately calculate realistic distances taking into account traffic seperation schemes, geographic features and manmade obstacles such as oilfields, wind farms etc. These need to be constantly updated to take account of new routing and environmental considerations. Acccurate distances provide the starting point for accurate calculations and decision making.
