Located in Oslo, Norway, i-Sea has a proven track-record of designing, developing and operating

providing recreational boaters with the best experience to help them plan, navigate and enjoy
their journey. The acquisition of i-Sea helps us to further deliver on that commitment. We looked
at a number of alternative boating apps and delivery platforms in the industry and I have no doubt
we have picked the best and most advanced that will further improve the content, services and
user experience we deliver to our Customers. We look forward to working with the i-Sea team and
integrating i-Sea technology to benefit C-MAP’s global mapping platform.”

we chat with them and we have developed Embark based on the user’s feedback! Together with
C-MAP we will be able to scale Embark to boaters everywhere.”
