Partial structural analysis of the ECDIS EHO research: The safety contour
As primary navigational mean, Electronic Chart Display and Information System became an inevitable tool and decision-making assistance. ECDIS implementation entails several issues, ranging from proper understanding, education, training, handling and acceptance of this, still relatively new, technology. The navigational tool has changed, however traditional navigational skills remain, or at least, they should sustain. ECDIS EHO […]
A contribution to improving the standards of ECDIS training
Classic navigation using navigational paper charts is being replaced with ECDIS systems, and starting as from 2018, a complete transition to the PLECDIS system as the primary navigational system (eng. Paper – Less Electronic Chart and Display Information System – possessing information system and the display of electronic charts without the obligation of possessing paper […]
Navigation with ECDIS: Choosing the proper secondary positioning source
The completion of ECDIS mandatory implementation period on-board SOLAS vessels requires certain operational, functional and educational gaping holes to be solved. It especially refers to positioning and its redundancy, which represents fundamental safety factor on-board navigating vessels. The proposed paper deals with primary and secondary positioning used in ECDIS system. Standard positioning methods are described, […]
