Model Course – 1.27

14. Use of Electronic Chart Devices and informational Systems (ECDIS)

Course Framework Course Framework Course Framework Course Framework

1. Scope 1. Scope 1. Scope 1. Scope

The course provides training in the basic theory and use of electronic Chart Display and information Systems

(ECDIS) for those who will be in charge of a navigational watch on vessels equipped with ECDIS. The training

comprises all safety-relevant aspects and-for this reason-aims beyond the use of operational controls. Because RCDIS

systems and MMIs are in an ongoing process of evolution, a functional approach, not a product-oriented approach, is

aimed at. As ECDIS is part of a complex system (including sensors, track control, ets.), complex training based on a

variety of functionalities and potential problems is promoted.

The theoretical aspects like all major characteristics of ECDIS date such as date contents and all major

characteristics of the display of ECDIS date will be covered in sufficient depth.

For practical capabilities and skills, exercises are performed which will provide practice in setting and maintaining

an ECDIS display, in planning and monitoring a route, in using basic navigational functions and equipment in a real-

time navigational watch.

Learning program of model 1.27 safely keep in:

- maritime training center’s “Equator” office desk

- maritime training center’s “Equator” library

- maritime training center”s “Equator” quality system office

- Georgia maritime agency

-

2. Objectives 2. Objectives 2. Objectives 2. Objectives

A trainee successfully completing this course will be able to use ECDIS for his navigational watch. He will be to

operate ECDIS equipment, use the navigational functions of ECDIS, select and assess all relevant information and take

proper action.

The trainee will acquire and develop a knowledge and understanding of the basic principles governing the safe

operation of ECDIS, including ECDIS date and their presentation, as well as the system-related limitations and

potential dangers.

He will be able to generate and maintain displays, to operate all basic navigational functions and all specific

functions for route planning as well as route monitoring , to use and select proper navigational date and to display the

date in the appropriate manner. He will also be able to perform updating.

He will be able to analyse nautical alarms during route planning and route monitoring as well as sensor alarms. He

will be able to assess the impact of the performance limits of sensors on the safe use of ECDIS and to appreciate that

the back-up system is only of limited performance. He will be able to assess errors, inaccuracies and ambiguities

caused by improper date management. Thus, he will be aware of errors in displayed date, errors of interpretation and

the risk of over-reliance on ECDIS and be able to take proper action.

In addition, he will have knowledge of the principal types of electronic chart and the essential legal aspects of the

use of ECDIS.

3. Entry standards 3. Entry standards 3. Entry standards 3. Entry standards

The course is designated both for candidates for certification as officers in charge of a navigational watch and for

experienced nautical officers and other persons with responsible duties in navigation work, such as pilots.

Those wishing to enter this course should have experience in performing chart work and should be able to practice

all usual tasks concerning standard navigational procedures and equipment. They should know about the functions

and limitations of other navigational equipment.

They should preferably be familiar with standard computer MMIs, including elements such as windows, menus,

trackball, etc.

4.4.4.4. Course certificate Course certificate Course certificate Course certificate




Every master, chief mate and officer in charge of a navigational watch on a ship fitted with ECDIS should have

completed a course in the use of ECDIS.

On successful completion of the course and assessments, a document may be issued certifying that the holder has

successfully completed a course of training which meets or exceeds the level of knowledge and competence specified

in table A-II/1 of STCW code. A certificate may be issued only by centres approved by the administration. However,

the issuance of a certificate to an officer in charge of a navigational watch, in accordance with regulation II/1 of the

STCW Convention, testifies that the candidate has reached the required level of competence.

5. Course intake limitations 5. Course intake limitations 5. Course intake limitations 5. Course intake limitations

The course intake will be limited by the availability of equipment such as ECDIS sets, multimode marine training

systems or fill-mission navigation simulators. Experiences shows that the efficacy of practical training is optimized

when the intake does not exceed three trainees per (standalone) ECDIS set and four trainees on a simulator bridge

during exercises in their use. (the duration of complex exercises is up to 5 hours.)

6.6.6.6. Staff requirements Staff requirements Staff requirements Staff requirements

The qualifications of the instructor should be in accordance with requirements laid down in section A-I/6 of the

STCW Code.

He should also be thoroughly familiar with the operation of the equipment to be used in the course.

For the theoretical part of the syllabus, a classroom equipped with an overhead projector and a blackboard will be

required.

For the demonstration of ECDIS features an ECDIS set with real or simulated sensor input for position, course speed

and depth is required. Own ship must be able to move along the chart. A suitable multi-mode marine training system

containing the essential ECDIS features may also be used.

For most practical exercises of the trainees, the equipment should allow a navigational watch as close to reality as

possible in real time. A full-mission navigation simulator bridge including an ECDIS set would be desirable.
