Raster Charts eXcluding Land (XL)

Raster Charts eXcluding Land (RCXL) are electronic versions of the familiar nautical paper charts and ideal for use as a base map or simple nautical chart background. These charts have had the land removed and are ready to be paired with the users preferred land mapping dataset (Google Maps, OpenStreetMaps, Bing, etc.).

By carefully removing the land from Nautical Charts, users are able to combine the useful aspects of both land and marine datasets for a harmonious mapping experience across land and sea. Raster Charts XL can be supplied as individual charts or as a Web Map Tile Service (WMTS).

Raster Charts contain all the same information as paper charts including, for example, depth soundings, buoy numbers, basic land features etc and are pre-symbolised so that they are ready for immediate use in GIS or other applications.

OceanWise provided EMEC with valuable support in managing our diverse datasets

We were able to get our wave and hydrodynamic models up and running very quickly using Marine Themes DEM, I'm really happy

OceanWise provided everything we required and has a proven track record of offering excellent customer service and value for money.

Richard Marlow - Fugro EMU

The Marine Themes data layers are central to many of our projects, offering suitably scaled and structured vector layers covering the key offshore data themes. We have found attributes to be fully complete and duplicate features from different sources removed from individual datasets to provide a more seamless and logical end product compared to our experience of data offered from other providers. Marine Themes data layers have also been much more competitively priced. Fugro EMU will continue to use OceanWise's marine products and we would certainly recommend them to other users working in the offshore sector.
