Guidance to the shipping
industry on the transition from navigation using paper charts to
navigation using an electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS)
The ECDIS concept is a total
change from using paper charts and the transition from paper charts to
electronic charts will pose a challenge for the industry, particularly for
those who have no current experience of electronic charts. Important
bridge procedures are significantly affected, and these require careful
analysis and consideration if ECDIS assisted groundlings are to be
avoided.
This document is aimed at
giving guidance on the transition from paper charts to ECDIS to the
shipping industry to enable paper-taught officers make the system work for
them. New entrants to the industry will also be able to understand how to
use the system within generally accepted navigational principles.
