This reformatted edition of The ECDIS Manual (2012) has been written in conjunction with leading ECDIS experts and manufacturers to share best practice and ensure an efficient and safe transition to digital navigation for vessels, in accordance with IMO, IHO, Flag State, PSC, ISM, SMS and SIRE requirements.
Understanding ECDIS and selecting the right ECDIS solution is vital for ensuring the safe and precise navigation of a vessel on track, and on time. The ECDIS Manual, written by ECDIS navigators for ECDIS navigators, draws on the knowledge of leading ECDIS experts and manufacturers, as well as classification societies and NGOs, to support a vessel’s transition to digital navigation in accordance with IMO, IHO, Flag State, PSC, ISM, SMS and SIRE requirements.
The book outlines the history and development of digital navigation, as well as providing detailed explanations of electronic charts and operating systems, supplemented by over 500 helpful screenshots and colour images to guide readers every step of the way. Also included is a CD-ROM containing an ENC Chart Symbol Guide and reference documents concerning ECDIS issued by the IMO and flag States.
