ECDIS training

Navigational simulators use the Transas Navi-Sailor ECDIS, which is one of the world’s most commonly used shipboard electronic chart systems operating on thousands of ships. The Transas ECDIS holds type approval certificates from the BSH, DNV and the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping. The real electronic chart system included in the simulator allows familiarisation with all the details of electronic chart operation, including route generation and editing, electronic chart updating and principles of displaying various information.

By the end of the courses the trainees will be able to:

  • Operate ECDIS equipment
  • Use the navigational functions of ECDIS
  • Select and assess all relevant information and take proper action in the case of a malfunction
  • State the potential errors of displayed data and the usual errors of interpretation
  • Explain why ECDIS should not be relied upon as the sole trustworthy navigational aid.
