VALUE ADDED SERVICES
For the Marine Industry
Offered by AMERICAN NAUTICAL SERVICES, INC.

World Class Chart Agents have one thing in common; they offer the mariner VALUE ADDED SERVICES. The benchmarks or defining characteristics for many of these services have been defined by the respective agency agreements signed between the governments whom manufacturer the navigation products and the chart agent. Changes in international regulations that govern commercial shipping interest also play a key role in influencing changes and enhancements in the services offered by World Class Chart Agents. Notwithstanding these parameters, the hallmark of a given World Class Chart Agent is the methodology and care used by a given agent to develop, implement and maintain these quality sensitive services. A recap of the VALUE ADDED SERVICES offered by our NAVIGATION CENTER follows.
