The document discusses ECDIS operational procedures and competency assessment. Key aspects covered include updating ENCs, applying corrections, safety depth calculation, sensor requirements etc.

SENC refers to the System Electronic Navigational Chart, which is the internal ECDIS format resulting from the lossless transformation of the entire ENC contents and its updates.

RNC (Raster Chart) is a digital image of a conventional paper chart, while ENC (Vector Chart) makes use of various layers to display information.

CDIS Questionnaire
** Each officer shall be asessed by Master.
Master to delete Possible Answer section prior sharing with officer
All 25 questions must be attempted.
Minimum marks required 90%
Officer to retake assessment until min 90% achieved

Possible Answer

Datum, Safety Depth, Safety Contour, Mode (RCDS/ENC), Look Ahead


Function, XTD, Scale in use, SCAMIN, Sensors, Input Errors, Ecdis Position
Accuracy (Radar Overlay), Alarm Settings

Paper Chart Symbols are as per Admirality Chart 5011, ECDIS Symbols 5012

ECDIS will switch over to DR Position Mode, and will raise alarms

Additional details in ECDIS WP Ch. List i.e. XTD (Port, Stbd), Guard Zone, ENC

System Electronic Navigation Chart, internal ECDIS format, resulting from the
lossless transformation of the entire ENC contents and its updates.
Safety depth is a value set by the user that serves to detect dangerous depths
by making bold all the spot soundings below the set value. Safety Depth = Draft
+ UKC + Squat + CATZOC - HoT
RNC (Raster Chart) is a digital image of conventional paper chart, ENC
(Vector Chart) makes use of various layers to display information.

Information regarding the best scale is available in the menu function of the
ECDIS. This may vary from model to model and reference shall be made to the
Maker's manual.
IHO S-57 defines six navigational purposes that an ENC can be designed for
use: 1-Overview, 2-General, 3-Coastal, 4-Approach, 5-Harbour, 6-Berthing. e.g.
AU412130 - Navigational purpose of the cell is Approach.

Vsl should have a type approved ECDIS, with approved Back UP, Use Official
Charts, and Training of Officers should be carried out.

Transfer Navigation to Back Up System, Inform Master

Carry out route data check thoroughly.

Online and Offline Methods, AVCS update data provided by UKHO through
GNS.

In admirality publication NP 133C

Refer the age of ENC in Update menu and Compare with Base CD Updates. An
ECDIS that is not updated correctly and on a regular basis may not meet the
chart carriage requirements as set out in SOLAS regulation V/19.2.1.4.

Using Planning Station, and send the list of required ENC's to admirality chart
agent. (GNS)

Using AIO ( Admirality Information Overlay ). The T&Ps (if not covered under
AIO service), Navigation Warnings via Navtex (if NAVTEX not interfaced with
ECDIS) or Inm-C shall always be manually plotted and records shall be kept in
the dedicated form FR-N105: Manual corrections Log in ECDIS

Yes, and they should be logged down in FRN-105.

Contact ENC Service provider and order permits.


SCAMIN ( Scale Minimum ) can be described as the process by which the system
automatically filters information from the display.

Position Sensor, Heading Sensor, Speed Sensor.

The Standard Display, which is also a pre-arranged chart display, but which can
be modified by the operator, and which is automatically shown when the ECDIS
is first switched on
Safety Contour is next corresponding contour available more than or equal to
Safety Depth.
The object “Category of Zone of Confidence” (CATZOC) in an ENC gives an
estimate of the reliability of the source data.

No alarm should be ignored, all alarms should be investigated and rectified.

ECDIS has look ahead(guard zone) feature, which raises alarm when
approaching shallow contour.

25 questions were assessed out of 25 available.
