Course Description

The integration of electronics and computer technologies in all engineering academic disciplines and the emerge of digital electronics and micro-computers as a central element of many engineering products and processes have become a common theme over the past 20 years. Accordingly, this course is compiled to introduce the principles and fundamental concepts of digital maps and their utilization in a data base to form the electronic/computerized data display and information systems, namely ECDIS.  ECDIS architecture facilitates and provides the user (Watch Officer/Marine Transportation and Management Engineer) with a decision making support utility as far  as  safe  navigation and situational awareness is concerned.

Course Objectives

The objective of this course is to set the educational framework accompanied by necessary vocational trainings in order to comply with SOLAS, STCW and IMO 1.27 standards as far as ECDIS “generic training” is concerned. The end objective is awarding the students as prospective cadets and deck officers, an internationally valid ECDIS Certificate in concert with pertinent international requirements.

Course Learning Outcomes

After the training the successful student has obtained proficiency in operation, interpretation and analysis of information obtained from ECDIS as specified in Table

A-II/I in the STWC Code.

1. Legal aspects and requirements
2. Main types of electronic charts
3. Sensors
4. Basic navigational functions
5. Route planning
6.  Route monitoring
7.  Alarms
8. Updating
9. Risks of over-reliance on ECDIS
