In line with STCW requirements, navigating officers are required to maintain competence in their watchkeeping routines and practices when using ECDIS. The ECDIS Procedures Guide provides a framework, as well as supporting background information and useful checklists, to aid officers in fulfilling these requirements and to help companies implement best practices in the use of ECDIS on board their ships. Information on the majority of ECDIS operations and techniques is included, such as chart updates, route creation and checking and ECDIS safety functions. This is supplemented by a useful ECDIS Management Card and example logs for chart spot checks, manual corrections and chart updates. Key additions in the 2018 Edition:IHO S52 4.0 Update to Regulations and Procedures (in effect Sep 2017 onwards)Discussion and advice on the significant operational impact of PL 4.0Type Specific Procedures for display setup for the most commonly used manufacturersQuick Reference guide to all Leading Type Specific ManufacturersNew Charting Formats and introduction of S100 are discussedGuidance for on board competence training and assessmentPreparation for Navigational AuditsPSC Inspections on ECDISList of previous ECDIS observations and knowledge gapsList of ECDIS Alarms and Warning Codes and new procedure for addressing severity and impact on vessels navigational risk assessment.

He is also an Associate Fellow of the Nautical Institute and a Committee member of the London branch, a Fellow of the Institute of Marine Science and Technology and a Fellow of the Institute of Leadership and Management He is a Freeman in the Honourable Company of Master Mariners and winner of the prestigious annual Navigators and Directors award for his contribution to the safe integration of ECDIS to the Royal Navy Fleet ix ECDIS Procedures Gui e 2018 Edi.ion ,Ab1out the eMaritime Group The eMaritime Group is a collective of maritime based services that has been utilised for the

and officers certificated under chapter II or VII of the STCW Convention serving on ships fitted with ECDIS takes into account: the mandatory carriage of ECDIS, as required by SOLAS regulation V/19.2.10, which will be subject to a staged entry into force between July 2012 and July 2018; the 2010 Manila Amendments to the STCW Convention and Code which have introduced ECDIS training for master and officers; the transitional provisions of the 2010 Manila Amendments which require seafarers to be trained according to the new competence standards before January 2017; that there is, however, for some ships, a potential training gap associated with the ECDIS carriage requirement Masters and officers certificated under chapter II of the STCW Convention on ships fitted with ECDIS, might not have received ECDIS training satisfying the requirements of the 2010 Manila Amendments This potential gap may occur up to January 2017; masters and officers certificated under chapter II of the STCW Convention serving on board ships fitted with ECDIS are to be familiarized (in accordance with STCW regulation 1/14) with the ship's equipment including ECDIS; ECDIS manufacturers are encouraged to provide resources, such as type-specific materials, which could be provided on a CD or DVD These resources may form part of the ECDIS familiarization training; while there may be no requirement for masters and officers serving on vessels fitted with ECDIS to meet the 2010 Manila Amendments before January 2017, it is encouraged that, prior to serving on such vessels, these seafarers should be provided with generic training, for example, the IMO model course 1.27; Training and assessment in the use of ECDIS is not required for those who serve exclusively on ships not fitted with ECDIS This limitation shall be reflected in the endorsements issued to the seafarer concerned (refer to tables A-11/1 and A-11/2 of the STCW Code) I :\Cl RCISTCW\07I18.doc 173 ECDIS Procedures Guide 2018 Edition STCW.7/Circ.18 Page 2 after January 2017, all masters and officers serving on ships fitted with ECDIS certificated under chapter II of the STCW Convention shall have undertaken appropriate generic ECDIS training (which may be based upon IMO model course 1.27), meeting the competence requirements of the 2010 Manila Amendments to the STCW Convention and Code; regulation 1/14, paragraph 1.5 of the STCW Convention, as well as sections 6.3 and 6.5 of the International Safety Management (ISM) Code, requires companies to ensure seafarers are provided with familiarization training A ship safety management system should include familiarization with the ECDIS equipment fitted, including its backup arrangements, sensors and related peripherals To assist Member Governments, Parties to the STCW Convention, companies and seafarers, a record of such familiarization should be provided; 10 Administrations should inform their port State control officers of the requirements for ECDIS training as detailed in paragraph above A certificate of competency issued in accordance with the 2010 Manila Amendments would be prima facie evidence of generic ECDIS training; however, a record of the ship specific familiarization of the ECDIS should be provided; and 11 attention is also drawn to STCW.7/Circ.17 - Advice for port State control officers on transitional arrangements leading up to the full implementation of the requirements of the 2010 Manila Amendments to the STCW Convention and Code on January 2017 and STCW.7/Circ.16 - Clarification of

MIN 503 (M) MARINE INFORMATION NOTE Maritime & Coastguard Agency MIN 503 (M) Training for ECDIS as Primary Means of Navigation Notice to all Ship Owners, Masters and Deck Officers of Merchant Vessels, Fishing Vessels Commercially and Privately Operated Yachts and Sail Training Vessels, and those concerned with Maritime Training This notice replaces MIN 442 This MIN expires 09th April 2019 Summary This notice clarifies the training that is required for Masters and Deck Officers of UK registered vessels which have Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) as their primary means of navigation This MIN is not applicable to Deck Officers revalidating their UK Certificate of Competency (CoC) Seafarers applying to revalidate their UK CoC should refer to MIN 494 This MIN replaces MIN 442 and places the responsibility on the ship owner or operator to ensure that ship specific training is delivered in accordance with the ISM Code and the STCW Convention Introduction 1.1 The Master and all Navigational Officers of UK Flagged vessels, which have Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) as their primary means of navigation, are required by the Port State Control Committee Instruction 47/2014/15, to have completed both generic and ship specific equipment ECDIS training ECDIS Generic Training 2.1 Following detailed consideration by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) and in agreement with the Merchant Navy Training Board (MNTB) Technical Committee it has been agreed that anyone who holds a completion certificate for an MCA-approved NARAS/NAEST course (operational or management) issued after January 2005 meets the requirement of ECDIS generic training The completion of any one of the following will be recognised as meeting the ECDIS generic training requirements: • MCA-approved Navigation Radar and ARPA Simulator (NARAS)/ Navigation Aids and Equipment and Simulator Training (NAEST) (Operational Level) course completed on or after January 2005; or 175 ECDIS Procedures Guide 2018 Edition • MCA-approved NARAS/ NAEST (management level) course completed on or after January 2005; or • An ECDIS programme based on the IMO Model ECDIS course (1.27) approved by the MCA; or • ECDIS simulator training course in compliance with the current IMO Model Course 1.27 and approved by an Administration whose CoC we accept for the issue of a Certificate of Equivalent Competency (CEC) Carriage of any one of the above certificates, together with reference to this notice, should satisfy Port State Control Officers (PSCO) that the holder meets the required ECDIS generic training requirement ECOIS Ship Specific Training 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 1/14 - 5: 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 are 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." STCW Convention regulation 1/14 - 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" -2- 176 REFERENCES l1 MO Circular 207 INTERNATIONAL MARITIME ORGANIZATION ALBERT EMBANKMENT LONDON SE1 ?SR Telephone: 020 7735 7611 020 7587 3210 Fax: E {a) � IMO SN l/Circ.207/Rev 22 October 2007 Ref T2-OSS/2.7 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RCDS AND ECDIS The Maritime Safety Committee, at its eighty-third session (3 to 12 October 2007), adopted revised performance standards for Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) and accordingly agreed to the revision of SN/Circ.207 on difference between Raster Chart Display System (RCDS) and ECDIS ECDIS has the ability to operate in two modes: the ECDIS mode when Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs) are used; and the RCDS mode when E TCs are not available and Raster Navigational Charts (RNCs) are used instead However, the RCDS mode does not have the full functionality of ECDIS, and can only be used together with an appropriate p011folio of up-to-date paper charts The mariners' attention is therefore drawn to the following limitations of the RCDS mode: unlike E 1C, where there are no displayed boundaries, RNCs are based on paper charts and as such have boundaries which are evident in ECDIS; RNCs will not trigger automatic alarms (e.g., anti-grounding) However alarms and indications can be generated with the manual addition, during passage planning, e.g., of clearing lines, ship safety contour lines, isolated danger markers and danger areas to mitigate these limitations; horizontal datums and chart projections may differ between RNCs Mariners should understand how a chart's horizontal datum relates to the datum of the position fixing system in use In some instances, this may appear as a shift in position This difference may be most noticeable at grid intersections; a number of RNCs cannot be referenced to either WGS-84 or PE 90 geodetic datums Where this is the case, ECDIS should give a continuous indication; the display of RNCs features cannot be simplified by the removal of features to suit a particular navigational circumstance or task at hand This could affect the superimposition of radar/ARPA; without selecting different scale charts the look-ahead capability may be limited This may lead to inconvenience when determining range and bearing or the identity of distant objects; l:\CIRC\SN\01\207-Rev-l doc 177 ECDIS Procedures Guide 2018 Edition SN l/Circ.207/Rev l -2- orientation of the RCDS display to other than chart-up, may affect the readability of chart text and symbols (e.g., course-up, route-up); it is not possible to interrogate RNC features to gain additional information about charted objects Whether using ENC or RNC, in the planning process a navigator should consult all relevant publications (such as sailing directions, etc.); with RNC it is not possible to display a ship's safety contour or safety depth and highlight it on the display, unless these features are manually entered during route planning; 10 depending on the source of the RNC, different colours may be used to show similar chart information There may also be differences in colours used during day and night time; 11 an RNC is intended to be used at the scale of the equivalent paper chart Excessive zooming in or zooming out can seriously degrade the displayed image If the RNC is displayed at a larger scale than the equivalent paper chart, the ECDIS will provide an indication; and 12 ECDIS provides an indication in the ENC which allows a determination of the quality of hydrographic the data When using RNCs, mariners are invited to consult the source diagram or the zone of confidence diagram, if available Member Governments are requested to bring this information to the attention of the relevant authorities and all seafarers for guidance and action, as appropriate I:\CIRC\SN\O \207-Rev- l doc 178 REFERENCES ii MO SN Circular 255 E INTERNATIONAL MARITIME ORGANIZATION ALBERT EMBANKMENT LONDON SE1 ?SR Telephone: 02075873152 Fax: 02075873210 Rf L-0 SN l/Circ.255 24 July 2006 HEL ADDITTON GUID NCE O CHART DATUMS AND THE ACCURACY OF POSITIONS ON CHARTS The Sub-Committee on Safety of Navigation, at its fifty-second session (17 to 21 July 2006), approved additional guidance on chart datums and the accuracy of positions on charts, given at annex This guidance is provided in addition to the guidance contained in SN/Circ.213 dated 31 May 2000 Member Governments are invited to bring this guidance to the attention of all concerned for information, in particular, by having them published in pertinent official nautical publications and action, as appropriate *** I:\CIRC\SN\O 1\255 doc 179 ECDIS Procedures Guide 2018 Edition SN.1/Circ.255 ANNEX ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE ON CHART DATUMS AND THE ACCURACY OF POSITIONS ON CHARTS In some areas of the world there are charts that are based on old surveys for which there is no determined geodetic datum or the datum is imprecise Therefore in such areas, paper charts (and thus raster navigational charts) are not compatible with GNSS navigation, and it will take some time to resolve this problem This makes it extremely difficult to accurately plot the ship's position obtained by the GNSS in relation to surrounding dangers on such charts The difference in the plotted position can often be significant and could lead to a casualty or unnecessary risk in restricted waters Cross-checking of position using visual or radar fixing or ECDIS radar overlay can provide for the immediate detection of datum inconsistencies in electronic charts, and immediately alert the mariner on potential positional shifts required for particular charts Some ECDIS equipment exceeds the minimum requirements of the ECDIS Performance standards, by providing such features as radar overlay In general, when navigating with GNSS, mariners should undertake all available measures to check the position of the ship obtained by continuous position fixing systems and plotted on any charts, such as using radar and visual observation methods I:\CIRC\SN\01 \255.doc 180 ...
