3 ECDIS Rules and regulations

4 ECDIS World of ECDIS is full of acronyms and complex legislation

5 ECDIS related regulations IMO Resolution A19/Res.817 Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention, regulation V/20 of the 1974 IHO Specification for Chart Content and Display of ECDIS (IHO S 52) IHO Transfer Standard for Digital Hydrographic Data (IHO S 57) IMO Performance Standards for ECDIS S 52 Color and Symbol Specifications for EDCIS IHO IEC 61174, ed 3 Performance Standards for ECDIS S 57 Transfer Standard for Digital Hydrographic Data S 63 Encryption Standard for protection of Digital Hydrographic Data Maritime navigation and radio communication equipment and systems Electronic chart and information systems (ECDIS) Operational and performance standards, methods of testing and required test results A Compliant ECDIS

6 ECDIS regulations SOLAS Chapter V, Safety of Navigation Regulation 19: Carriage requirement for shipborn navigation systems and Equipment : All ships irrespective of size shall have nautical charts and nautical publications to plan and displays the ship s route for the intended voyage and to plot and monitor positions throughout the voyage; an electronic charts display and information system (ECDIS) may be accepted as meeting the chart carriage requirement of this subparagraph; : All ships irrespective of size shall have back up arrangements to meet the functional requirements of subparagraph.4, if this function is partly or fully fulfilled by electronic means.* *An appropriate folio of paper nautical charts may be used as an back up arrangements for ECDIS. Other back up arrangements for ECDIS are acceptable (see appendix 6 resolution A.817(19), as amended). IMO ECDIS Performance Standard A817(19) Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) means a navigation information system which, with adequate back up arrangements, can be accepted as complying with the up to date chart required by regulation V/19 & V/27 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention.

7 ECDIS Carriage Requirement implementation dates In its 54 th session the IMO Sub Committee on Safety of Navigation decided that ECDIS has to be fitted on ships engaged in international voyages. According to SOLAS V Rule 19, the following timeline for a mandatory ECDIS fit is in force.

8 Understanding ECDIS Lets break this down to an understandable level. What are the regulations for the systems? SOLAS Chapter V, Safety of Navigation, reg 19 Carriage requirement for shipborne navigation systems and Equipment The same regulation still applies! It is how we comply to what has changed ECDIS is a System which consists of many parts. All of them have to comply one by one and together (Monitor Computer Keyboard Software) Maker s responsibility, but crew should have the knowledge ECDIS carriage requirement means an ECDIS should be fitted. This does not automatically enable the vessel to sail paperless as the requirement is for a single ECDIS In order to comply with chart carriage requirement back up is required Second system or paper charts or in some countries chart radar* Official charts must be carried on board ENC, SENC, TADS, AVCS and in some few cases ARCS System must be installed by certified engineer Watch keeping staff must be trained According to ISM code an equipment specific hands on training is mandatory. Generic ECDIS training like the IMO Model Course 1.27 is recommended and mandatory in many Flag states. Ref. ISM Code and Paris MOU *E.g. unclear regulation in Norway as the radar in this case needs to be ECDIS approved, eg MFD

12 ECDIS Configurations and features

13 Transas ECDIS solutions Transas delivers full range of typeapproved ECDIS solutions depending on the customers needs: Navi Sailor 4000 ECDIS standalone Dual Navi Sailor 4000 ECDIS Navi Sailor 4000 ECDIS Multifunction Display

14 Why to take ECDIS onboard As identified by customers, the main reasons for their switching onto ECDIS include: Reduced risk of accidents Lowering ship s running costs Automation of routine navigation tasks Access to additional information resources New technology on the ship s bridge Path to future upgrades and paperless navigation

15 Reduced risk of accidents DNV Report Previous FSA studies on ECDIS reported to IMO ECDIS is a cost effective risk control option for large passenger ships, with a significant potential to save lives by reducing the frequency of collision and grounding. ECDIS is a cost effective risk control option for all other vessel types engaged in international trade, with the exception of the smallest vessels. The potential for saving lives is small for cargo ships, but ECDIS represents a net economic benefit in itself.

16 The five grounding scenarios DNV Report Conclusion The grounding frequency reductions achievable from implementing ECDIS vary between 11% and 38% for the selected routes. This variation is due to variations in ENC coverage.

28 ECDIS Electronic Navigation Charts

29 Types of ENCs To be able to sail by electronic means, Electronic Navigation Charts (ENCs) should be used Official charts Vector charts: ENC / S 57 SENC Raster charts: ARCS (UKHO), NDI/BSB (USA & Canadian HO) Private chart folios Vector charts: E.g. Transas TX 97 Raster charts: NOS/GEO, Seafarer (Australian HO)

30 ENC or SENC? ENC are official vector charts that conform to the specification of the IHO and that are issued by or on behalf of national hydrographic authority. System ENC (SENC) are ENCs converted to the internal format of a specific ECDIS. Action ENC SENC ENC compiled and coded according to the standards of the IHO Standards (S 57) X X Based on official ENC data only available for use in type approved ECDIS X X Regularly updated with official information distributed digitally X X Can order/handle chart administration online Requires time for ECDIS to convert ENC data into a format that can run in the system Comes pre formatted for instant upload and use within ECDIS X X X

32 Transas Admiralty Data Service TADS Developed in partnership with UKHO Transas Official SENC Service pre filed in ECDIS AVCS (ENC) Services for other brands of ECDIS, ECS and Chart Radar SPOS Weather Service ADP (Admiralty Digital Publications) AIO Admiralty Information Overlay (T&P NM) ARCS (some countries in the world allow ARCS where there is no ENC coverage) Updates distributed via: Weekly update CDs Transas web page download Online download ENC Coverage (April, 2010)

33 Advantages of vector charts There are many advantages of vector charts: Automatic alarm generation is possible Optional information can be displayed (customized settings) Zoom option with no deterioration of the readability They are easy to correct They require little memory capacity (quick loading) Information can be added (files, pictures etc.) Good readability in all presentation modes like Head up, North up, Course up Presentation is adapted according to the safety parameters of your vessel

34 Chart Folios Select a chart provider who can guide you through the purchasing of charts in the most cost effective way Our recommendation when purchasing official charts: If your vessel is sailing on the spot market we recommend you to purchase your charts for 3 months. The minimum subscription period is at the moment 3 months; however some countries only allow 12 months subscriptions. If your vessel is sailing on the same trade you should choose 12 months subscriptions. A 12 months subscription is cheaper than buying 3 months subscriptions quarterly. TADS LICENCE PERIOD 3 months 6 months 9 months 12 months
