CBT # 64 ECDIS

Introduction

Target Group

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 systems 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.
