Introduction: Why ECDIS Type Specific Training?
The requirements for ECDIS Type Specific Training has its foundation in the new
STCW-2010 (The 2010 Manila Conference) as well as in the ISM code.
STCW.
Though the STCW itself does not require type specific training, the requirements for Training and
assessment in the operational use of Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems when
using simulators for training or assessment are so comprehensive that a type specific course will
probably be the only option to achieve the level of competence needed for the seafarer to use
the equipment in a safe and proficient manner.
Realising this, several Flag Administrations have already laid down flag state requirements for
ECDIS Type Specific Training.
The ISM.
ISM: 6.3 “The Company should establish procedures to ensure that new personnel
and personnel transferred to new assignments related to safety and protection of the
environment is given proper familiarization with their duties. Instructions which are
essential to be provided prior to sailing should be identified, documented and given.”
ISM 6.5 “The Company should establish and maintain procedures for identifying any
training which may be required in support of the safety management system and
ensure that such training is provided for all personnel concerned.
Flag state requirements.
We have looked at a small selection of flag state requirements.
British Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA).
3.1 ECDIS ship specific equipment training for Deck Officers must relate to the make and
model of the equipment fitted onboard the ship which they are currently serving. The
decision on how to deliver ship specific training is now the responsibility of the ship
owner or operator. They must take into account their responsibilities in accordance
with ISM code (specifically sections 6.3 and 6.5) and also the STCW convention,
Regulation I/14 - 5:
Every company shall ensure that:
“Seafarers, on being assigned to any of its ships, are familiarized with their duties and
with all ship arrangements, installation, equipment, procedures and ship characteristics
that are relevant to their routine or emergency duties”.

FMD-3100/3200/3200BB/3300
The Department of maritime Administration from Bermuda.
In ships where ECDIS is the primary navigational system there is a requirement for all
navigational
officers to have completed both generic ECDIS training and ship specific ECDIS training.
Port State Control Officers will expect to see evidence of this training during inspections.
Generic ECDIS training may include any ECDIS course based on IMO Model course 1.27 either
as a dedicated ECDIS course or as part of a broader course.
Ship specific ECDIS training and familiarisation should be based on the actual equipment fitted on
board and provided before the officer is expected to use the equipment. If the generic training
course has been undertaken on the same equipment, then the course certificate should make
clear the equipment that was used for the training in order to be accepted as meeting this
requirement.
In general, the ship specific training should be conducted on the equipment that is to be used by a
manufacturer, his approved agent or someone who has received a trainer’s programme for that
equipment. A manufacturer’s computer based training package can be accepted for this purpose.
The company operating the ship should ensure that the ship specific training is carried out and
clearly documented. Given the critical nature of this training and the records of it this process
should be incorporated in the ships Safety Management System.
The Maritime and Port authority of Singapore.
Masters and deck officers on ships installed with ECDIS must have thorough knowledge and
ability to use ECDIS for safe and efficient voyage. They should undertake approved Generic
ECDIS Training meeting the competency requirements prescribed in 2010 Manila amendments to
the STCW Convention and STCW Code.
In addition, they must undergo Familiarisation Training to have operational knowledge of the
specific model of ECDIS installed on the ship. Appropriate resources supplied by the ECDIS
manufacturer (e.g. courses in ECDIS training centre ashore, e-learning via DVD or similar means)
may be accepted as part of the ECDIS Familiarisation Training. ‘Trickle down’ training (i.e. one
officer informally trains another on board a ship) is not acceptable. If Familiarisation Training is to
be conducted on board, such training should be properly structured, provided by a dedicated
officer and cover all functionality and effective use of the system.
The Familiarisation Training provided to officers must be properly documented in the ship’s safety
management system. If the Generic Training is conducted ashore on a particular type and model
of ECDIS installed on a ship, such training is acceptable as meeting both the Generic and
Familiarisation Training. In such cases, it should be appropriately documented in the ECDIS
training certificate.

Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA).
All masters and officers in charge of a navigational watch on ECDIS-fitted ships who commenced
an approved education and training program before 1 July 2013 will need to have undertaken
approved ECDIS generic training and familiarisation training.
Familiarisation training should build on the IMO model course 1.27 and be delivered by a suitable
person or organisation, such as the ECDIS manufacturer, manufacturers agent or another
qualified trainer.
The familiarisation training should cover the following topics.
Familiarisation with available functions.

Familiarisation with the menu structure
Display setup
Setting of safety values
Recognition of alarms and malfunction indicators and action to be taken.
Route planning.
Route monitoring.
Changing over to backup system.
Loading charts and licenses.
Updating software.
The familiarisation training should be done by a qualified instructor and not a colleague and the
training should be following a lesson plan and at the end of the course there should be an
evaluation of the student after the course where he or she demonstrates key navigational tasks
OCIMF Sire inspection.
The Master and deck officers should be familiar with the operation of the ECDIS. Master and
deck officers should be able to demonstrate the operation of the ECDIS including, but not limited
to.
Creating and uploading passage plans

Recalling previous voyages
Route checking and management of alarms
Plotting manual fixes (visual bearing and radar range)
Creating parallel index lines
Setting safety depths and safety contours as appropriate to the draught of the vessel
Setting of Safety frame/safety cone
Ensuring system is updated to the latest corrections.
AIS and or Radar overlay if fitted
Understanding of limitations of operating in RCDS mode
Knowledge of SCAMIN and how it is displayed
Knowledge of CATZOCs
Familiarity of deck officers with contingency action in case of ECDIS failure.
The above list is not exhaustive and the inspector can ask other features to be demonstrated in
order assess knowledge of the system. Further guidance to the operation of ECDIS can be found
in MSC.1/Circ 1503 “ECDIS – Guidance for Good Practice”.

Latest from the British Admiralty.
As more ships are affected by the mandatory carriage of ECDIS, more headlines have been
dedicated to a rise in detentions related to ECDIS. An analysis of the reasons for Port State
Control Officer (PSCO) detention quickly demonstrates that it is not a failure of design, but a failure
of ECDIS management which has caused these detentions. Reasons include:
Failure to use latest edition and up to date ENC for voyage planning
Incorrect scale ENC available
Crew ECDIS familiarisation inadequate
ECDIS policy and procedures in the ISM are insufficient
In addition to PSCO detentions there is also a reported rise in ECDIS related deficiencies and
observations from vetting inspectors related to the management of ECDIS. This includes crew
familiarisation and insufficient policies and procedures for safety settings such as under keel
clearance.

Chapter 3: Visual settings and adjustments of your Chart display.
Shallow Contour, Safety Depth, Safety Contour and Deep Contour setting.
Appropriate safety settings are of paramount importance for ECDIS display. Failings in appropriate
settings have recently resulted a few grounding incidents (e.g. CSL Thames and LT Cortesia). The
values for the safety depth and safety contour must be understood and entered to achieve a
sensible and considered meaning. The navigators must remember that the display of underwater
obstructions or isolated danger symbols can change according to the settings of this safety contour
which also marks the division between „safe‟ and „unsafe‟ water. Additionally, the shallow contour
could be utilised to indicate the gradient of the seabed (adjacent to a channel) and the deep
contour to indicate the depth of water in which own ship may experience squat and interaction.

Chapter 4:Overlay / NAV Tools.

Tracked Target.
With a connection to the radar, the movement of a maximum of 200 radar tracked targets can be
shown on the ECDIS. But the following conditions must be met to use the TT function.
The TT data from the radar must be true bearing referenced.
The speed source must be the same as that used by the radar. If they are different the following
occurs:
The TT symbol is shown but the vector is not shown.
The COG, SOG, CTW, STW indication is missing.
AIS.
An AIS transponder can be connected to the ECDIS to display AIS targets received from the
transponder. The ECDIS can store up to 2000 AIS targets in its storage buffer. The storage buffer
contains automatic dead reckoning for all AIS targets, which is based on reported SOG, COG,
ROT and Heading. The storage buffer also contains calculation of range, bearing, CPA, TCPA etc.
The CPA and TCPA limits set for dangerous targets are common for TT and AIS targets

Chapter 6 : Routeplanning Tools.

A route defines the navigation from starting point to the destination. There are two phases for a
route. Route Planning and Route Monitoring.
Main functions of route planning are:
• Define Waypoints
• Define turnings for each waypoint
• Define channel limits for each leg (a leg is the line connected between two waypoints).
The channel limits are used to detect alerts when you are planning or monitoring your
route.
• Define the speed for each leg.
• Calculation for ETD and ETA.
• Calculation for most economical sailing.

You should always have your chart material updated. A part of this is the Manual updating of your
charts. A manual update may include deleting an already existing object, modifying a position or
other characteristics of an already existing object, or inserting of a new object.
The mariner cannot permanently remove any official objects from the chart display, however the
mariner can remove the manual update he has made on the chart.
The ECDIS records complete usage of Manual updates i.e. all deletions, modifications and
insertions.
A manual update symbol can be added as shown below

How to synchronize chart data.
You can synchronize chart data between FMD-3xx0, FAR-2xx9 and FCR-2xx9 units, so that all units
have the same chart data. Synchronization can be done automatically or manually, however all units
selected for synchronization must be powered to complete the synchronization. Synchronization
includes the following actions:
• Synchronize public keys

• Synchronize chart permits and licenses
• Synchronize chart data
• Synchronize manual updates

Filter Status.
The ECDIS incorporates a Kalman filter. The filter receives raw sensor data, checks sensor integrity
and processes multiple sensor data to produce a continuous estimate of ship’s position and motion.
By default the filter uses data from all available sensors.
Sensors may be excluded manually or automatically. The excluded sensor does not participate in
neither integrity monitoring or filtering. The filter automatically excludes a sensor if it has failed the
integrity check. If the actual integrity check fails for some reason and the filter is able to identify the
faulty sensor, the faulty sensor is automatically excluded.

Weather Overlay.
The weather overlay, available in the Voyage navigation and Voyage planning modes, provides an
animated display of weather information over time for the area selected. The information may include
wave, ocean current, wind, temperature, cloud coverage and precipitation rate.
The weather overlay is driven by grb (GRIB) data files. The GRIB format is the format used by the
worlds meteorological institutes to transport and process global weather data.
Since the GRIB files are sent without review, the data received onboard has no assurance of
accuracy and correctness. So, it should be used in conjunction with Facsimile, NAVTEX and other
means of receiving weather forecasts.
