ECDIS: A Primer & Reminder

This film is not just for the Officer of the Watch, but is equally applicable to
their shore-based colleagues. The 'Primer' is aimed at those with little
knowledge of ECDIS, or those who are about to begin training (generic or
type-specific) and the 'Reminder' is for those that may have been working
with ECDIS for some time, but not necessarily correctly. Or safely.

We discuss the basics of navigating and working with ECDIS:

The regulations (including the Manila Amendments to STCW code)
The technology - What is ECDIS? - What is an ENC? - What inputs are required?
Navigating with ECDIS
Bridge Procedures for ECDIS

Most importantly, the film stresses the potential danger to the OOW of blindly
trusting ECDIS; "it's a computer, it must be right!". We discuss the procedures
necessary for safe navigation - continually confirming that "ECDIS is correct!"

This film is an invaluable training resource whether you're new to ECDIS or you
already have experience of the technology. The message is the same:

"ECDIS training is about more than just knowing where the menus are; it's about
knowing where YOU are."
