2 Factors defining Efficient Ship Operations Sound commercial decisions leading to net economic benefit are always based on safe and efficient operations on board. Efficient operations on board start by appropriate decisions taken by management ashore. One decision which affects operations on board is purchasing decision.

3 Major Factor leading to appropriate Purchasing Decisions: Identifying the need correctly! For eg., for making a decision to purchase an ECDIS for your fleet: Is the need only to satisfy the regulatory requirement? Will it lead to a sound decision? Will it provide a net-economic benefit? If not, then what is the correctly identified need?

4 Why do we need ECDIS on board? Among various other benefits the two major reasons for having and ECDIS on board are: 1) Making the ship and the environment safer 2) Ensuring a net-economic benefit to the company

5 Making the ship and environment safer: ECDIS is primarily considered as an anti grounding tool Majors Factors contributing to grounding of a vessel: 1) OOW inattentive during navigational watch 2) Infrequent plotting of vessel s position 3) Accuracy of plotted position 4) Incorrect or incomplete passage plan 5) Reluctance to use ship s engines 6) Charts not updated with T&P notices and NAVTEX messages not plotted on to the chart 7) UKC calculations incorrect or missing 8) Failure to use the equipment correctly lack of appropriate training

6 Making the ship and environment safer: Equipment features desired: 1. OOW inattentive during navigational watch Does the equipment have necessary navigational alarms to alert the OOW? Can BNWAS be interfaced with the ECDIS? 2. Infrequent plotting of vessel s position Does the ECDIS store a continuous record (period?)of all positions can it be easily played back? 3. Accuracy of plotted position How many position sensors can be connected to ECDIS (over and above the IMO requirements)? Does the ECDIS evaluate the inaccuracies which may occur in the GPS / position sensor?

7 Making the ship and environment safer: Equipment features desired: 4. Incorrect or incomplete passage plan: Does the ECDIS offer a complete passage planning module which confirms to IMO recommendations? 5. Reluctance to use ship s engines Does the ECDIS provide necessary information (like effective UKC using the tides and current database)? 6. Charts not updated with T&P notices and NAVTEX messages not plotted on to the chart Does the ECDIS have effective provisions to update T&P notices (Additional Information Overlay AIO) and plot NAVTEX messages?

8 Making the ship and environment safer: Equipment features desired: 7. UKC calculations incorrect or missing Does the ECDIS offer UKC values? Using tides and currents at that particular time? 8. Failure to use the equipment correctly lack of appropriate training Does the ECDIS manufacturer provide efficient training infrastructure? Presence in major crew supplying nations

9 Ensuring a net-economic benefit to the company: Long term cost of ownership of the ECDIS system Reliability of system and support zero downtime assurance Efficient chart infrastructure and optimized chart processes Fuel Savings
