Chartworx BV is a member of Periskal Group. Since 1982, it has been developing, manufacturing, and distributing electronic chart systems for SOLAS professional vessels, fisheries, government boats, and recreational vessels. Its core brands include TRAX, Quodfish, and E-Logbook. In practice, it is closer to a maritime vertical software/hardware system provider than a general-purpose developer tool.
TRAX and Quodfish are electronic chart systems for fishing and navigation. They support official digital charts and commercial ISO 19379-certified data, and are aligned with relevant IMO and IHO standards. The systems can store unlimited user information for later review, analysis, and sharing. They can also connect to most onboard sensors and offer modular capabilities such as 3D seabed display, AIS extensions, and ARPA radar. For fishing users, the main value lies in accumulating fishing data by season and combining it with charts, depth sounding, and sensor information to help assess fishing grounds. E-Logbook is used for catch registration, complies with EU ERS requirements, and is recognized by the fisheries authorities in the Netherlands and the UK.
The website does not disclose specific pricing, licensing models, or trial policies. It only mentions that the AIS module is competitively priced, that some systems include AIS for free, and that Windows systems have a software maintenance contract. Sales and support are mainly handled through a dealer network in the Netherlands, the UK, and other regions.
The strengths are its long industry history, a global base of more than 5,000 professional users, deep functionality for fishing scenarios, and regulatory recognition for its electronic logbook. The drawbacks are limited public technical materials, with no visible API/SDK, secondary development interface, self-hosting option, or security architecture documentation; pricing is also opaque. On documentation, the site only states that complete manuals in Word or Adobe format are built into the system, so the quality of public documentation cannot be assessed.
It is suitable for professional fishing vessels, trawlers, government boats, SOLAS-related vessels, and European fishing users that need a compliant electronic logbook. It is not suitable for developers looking for a general development framework, cloud API, or open-source tool. The main content does not mention access from China, and payment methods are not disclosed. For procurement in China, buyers may need to confirm details through maritime equipment agents or dealers, or evaluate local electronic chart/ECS alternatives.
