CBT # 64 ECDIS
Introduction The primary function of ECDIS is to contribute to safe navigation. Electronic Chart Display Information Systems (ECDIS) and Electronic Chart Systems (ENC) are now being installed in an ever increasing number of ships. Used by qualified navigators these systems increase the safety of navigation. However in the hands of unqualified operators these systems may contribute to misunderstandings and in the worst case groundings and accidents. A proper understanding of the system’s philosophy, limitations and features is therefore a must. This CBT covers what is believed to be a minimum comprehension level in order to understand and use ECDIS and ENC systems in a safe and efficient way.
