Alignment to Function Competence KUP
STCW Code
Navigation at the Use of ECDIS to Proficiency in operation, interpretation, and
operational level maintain the safety of analysis of information obtained from
navigation ECDIS, including:
a. use of functions that are integrated with
other navigation systems in various
installations, including proper
functioning and adjustment to desired
settings
b. safe monitoring and adjustment of
information, including own position, sea
area display, mode and orientation,
chart data displayed, route monitoring,
user-created information layers,
contacts (when interfaced with AIS
and/or radar tracking) and radar overlay
functions (when interfaced)
 Perform start-up and shutdown procedures for ECDIS

Instructor’s Simulation Preparations:
Actions 1. Proceed to the simulation room and check all stations are working properly.
2. Load and verify the pre-configured exercise.
3. Set-up bridge stations according to their initial navigational equipment status.
4. Set-up TightVNC Viewer for all ECDIS stations from the instructor’s station.

Briefing:
5. Verify Student’s Attendance.
6. Remind the students about the policies and procedures on the use of the
simulators.
7. Distribute the exercise plan to the students.
8. Explain the relevance of the scenario and the competency being assessed taking
into consideration the bearing of the exercise to shipboard application.
9. Explain the significance of the performance standards and criteria.
10. Explain the scenario description.
11. State critical performance requirements, passing criteria / marks and the “failure
state” and critical criterion and the final rating of the exercise.
12. State the monitoring procedures of the exercise.
13. State that the simulation will be recorded and monitored through.
14. Ask comments and verification from students, if none let the students proceed to
the simulations area.

Simulation:
15. Assign students to their corresponding bridge stations.
16. Allocate time for preparation.
17. When everything is ready, simultaneously start the simulation.
18. Monitor the students’ progress through the TightVNC. Alternatively, the instructor
can monitor the student’s progress by individual checking every bridge station.
19. Each performance task has 1-minute time allocation.
20. Stop the scenario after 12 minutes.
21. Save the exercises in the system for objective evidences for the conduct of the
simulation exercise.
22. Instruct the students to proceed to the briefing room.

Debriefing
Remind students the duration of the Exercise scenario.
1. During the debriefing phase, the start with providing a general review of how the
students performed during the scenario by revisiting the instructions from the
briefing phase.
2. Randomly call out a student that has executed the exercise properly and let him
or her explain.
3. Cite errors during the exercise and explain how it should be done.
1. Conduct the exercise safely.
Student’s Actions 2. Follow instructions.
3. Demonstrate the required performance within 1 minute.
