Electronic chart display and information system

With the progress of current & quicker ships & a demand to scuttle them more cheaply, by plummeting man-powers, the number of nautical fatalities has augmented in the current years.
These fatalities can largely be accredited to human failures on the Bridges of vessels. The requirement to lessen these fatalities is being sensed by the whole nautical industries
An E.C.D.I.S. is one of the steering tools on the bridges, which will aid the Masters & the Officers of the Watches to steer his ship securely & cheaply. the E.C.D.I.S. with input from different resources such as G.P.S., R.A.D.A.R., Echo Sounders, Gyros, & others will be a perfect instrument supplying all the information on 1 cover. This instrument among different other facility will aid in Route mapping, Monitor & Execute, with expedition copying capability & anti grounding function.
The E.C.D.I.S. program provided by I.M.T.C. is a concentrated two days interpretation of the I.M.O. advocated five days program
Program Target:
· By the end of the program, Candidates will be in a position to :
· Get a view of the E.C.D.I.S. & realize the differences between rasters & vectors charts.
· Appreciates the capability & limitation of an E.C.D.I.S.
· Operates an E.C.D.I.S. & uses its function for secure steering
The program is suitable for:
Master & all steering officer.
Program Structure:
· Theories of E.C.D.I.S.
· Regulation & requirement ruling the usages of E.C.D.I.S .
· Cognition of Rasters & Vector Chart
· Capability & Limitation of E.C.D.I.S. equipments.
· Hands-on cognition of different characters of the E.C.D.I.S.
· Practical passages plan on the E.C.D.I.S.
· Simulators exercise with the help of E.C.D.I.S.
