ECDIS- ELECTRONIC

CHART DISPLAY AND


INFORMATION SYSTEM
ECDIS
STCW Table A- Purpose of ECDIS
II/2 The primary function of the ECDIS is to
contribute to safe navigation.
It should be capable of displaying all chart
information necessary for safe and
efficient navigation.
Purpose of ECDIS
reduce the navigational
workload compared to using
the paper chart.
It should enable the mariner
to execute in a convenient
and timely manner all route
planning, route monitoring
and positioning currently
performed on paper charts.
• An electronic chart
display system is a
general term for all
electronic equipment
that is capable of
displaying a vessel’s
position on a chart
image on a screen
(eg:computers screens).
• There are two classes of electronic
chart display systems.

• The first is an ECDIS (Electronic


Chart Display and Information
System), which can meet
IMO/SOLAS chart carriage
requirements.

• The second is an ECS (Electronic


Chart System), which can be used
to assist navigation, but does not
meet IMO/SOLAS chart carriage
requirements.
What are differences
between ECS and ???
ECDIS ?

• ECS-Electronic Chart System – This is an


approved display system which can display a
Raster Chart (paper chart scanned) or an non
approved vectorial chart and all other
informations from different sensors as logs ,
AIS , anemometer , echo-sounder , main
engine , rudder , radar etc.This system is a non-
compliant SOLAS system and his purpose is to
be an aid to navigator.
• Where the vessel
operates with ECS,
the paper chart
remains the official
basis for navigation
onboard. The vessel
must retain and use
a full folio of up to
date paper charts
onboard, regardless
of the type of
electronic charts
used.

• A system that display hydrographic information in
order to assist the safe navigation.
ECDIS – Electronic Chart Display and Information System
• There are two kinds of official digital charts
commonly available;
• Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC) and
• Raster Navigational Charts (RNC).
Raster Chart is the

digitally.
What is the difference • ENC is a vectorial chart made piece by
between Raster Chart
and ENC (electronic piece inserting inside in a data base all

dangers , coast line etc.
Regulation V/19 & V/27 of the 1974
SOLAS Convention
• The IMO performance standards for ECDIS
states that where ENCs are not available,
RNCs may be used in ECDIS to meet carriage
requirements. However, when the ECDIS is using
RNCs it should be used together with an
appropriate folio of up to date paper charts.
Regulation V/19 & V/27 of the 1974
SOLAS Convention
• ENC stands for “Electronic Navigational
Chart”. The term was originally introduced
for digital chart data complying with the
International Hydrographic Organization
(IHO) chart data transfer standard S-57.
By IMO definition ENCs can only be
produced by or on the authority of a
government, authorised
Hydrographic Office or other relevant
government institution. Any other
vector data is unofficial and does not meet
carriage requirements.
the data format used for the transfer of digital hydrographic data
between national hydrographic offices and for ​its distribution to
manufacturers, mariners and other data users.
ENCs have the following attributes:

• ENC content is based on source data or


official charts of the responsible
Hydrographic Office;
• ENCs are compiled and coded according to
international standards;
• ENCs are referred to World Geodetic System
1984 Datum (WGS84);
• ENC content is the responsibility and liability
of the issuing Hydrographic Office;
The Global
Positioning System
uses the World
Geodetic System
(WGS84) as its
reference
coordinate system.
• Each ENC chart is encrypted with a different key, and
the decryption keys are issued to specific end-user
systems and can consequently not be exchanged or
shared by different systems. The required decryption
keys are distributed to the end-users as ‘Cell Permits’ by
the service provider.

vessel. Where ENCs are not

requirements regulations allow Flag
States to authorise the use
of ECDIS of RNCs (together with an
carriage ? appropriate folio of paper
charts) Note that in all other
cases the vessel must carry
all paper charts necessary
for its intended voyage.
There are two commonly accepted
options only for ECDIS running with
official ENCs:

or non-official ENC it is compulsory to

Do we need compulsory training
to operate ECDIS ?

• The IMO Resolution MSC. 282 (86)


on amendments to SOLAS, include
the mandatory carriage of
ECDIS for certain ships, including
passenger ships, tankers and other
cargo ships. These amendments
entered into force on 01 January
2011. Implementation dates for
mandatory carriage of ECDIS for
these vessels will be phased
commencing 01 July 2012.
