Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safe Navigation with Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS)is written with the aim of providing watch-keeping officers with an overview of the Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) and electronic charts. From July 2012 onward, all new passenger vessels and new tankers will have to be fitted with ECDISs and by the year 2018, the ECDIS equipment will become mandatory on all seagoing vessels. As such, all deck officers on seagoing vessels will need to be competent in operating the ECDIS to ensure safe navigation.Accompanied by numerous enhanced graphics, this book meets the learning objectives of the International Maritime Organisation's model course on ECDIS and enables easy reading and understanding of the ECDIS theory and its operational procedures. The operational procedures illustrated in this book are modeled on the Transas ECDIS; although the operational procedures of the ECDIS equipment vary with equipment manufacturers, the concepts are similar. The book also includes two appendices illustrating the operational procedures of the MARIS and the Kelvin Hughes ECDIS.

Download or read book Electronic Chart Display and Information System Navy written by Edward J. Schweighardt and published by . This book was released on 2001-06-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1998 the Chief of Naval Operations directed the U.S. Navy to begin a transition from navigating using conventional paper charts, to the use of an electronic charting system (digital charts). In response, the Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems-Navy (ECDIS-N) instruction was issued. This new technology will presumably reduce or prevent future collision and grounding incidents associated with navigational errors. The objective of this study is to determine the best possible ECDIS-N capable system or systems that will meet the future needs of the Navy. Also examined, are the possible annual repair cost savings that an ECDIS-N system could realize for the Navy. Data for two different periods of Navy collisions and groundings were compared and used to estimate the average incidents per ship and the average annual repair cost incurred by the Navy. The cost, capabilities and limitations of alternative ECDIS-N systems are evaluated in a cost-benefit comparison that justifies the Navy's implementation of certain ECDIS-N systems in different classes of ships. It is estimated that an ECDIS-N system integrated with an Automatic Radar Plotting Aid could have prevented 47% of the Navy's collisions and groundings from 1998 to 2000, saving 96.4% of the combined repairs costs.
Download or read book Applying Advanced Information Systems to Ports and Waterways Management written by Marine Board and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-03-31 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future safety of maritime transportation in the United States-a major factor in the nation's international trade and economic well-being-will depend heavily on the quality of port and waterways information systems. Many U.S. ports and waterways lack adequate information services, although certain elements of advanced systems are now available in some locations. Barriers to improvements in information systems include the division of responsibilities for waterways management among multiple agencies at all levels of government, a lack of coordination among the federal agencies responsible for waterways management, inadequate budgets for some critical maritime programs, the high costs of some specialized technologies, stakeholder opposition to user fees, limited access to certain key data, the incompatibility of many independently developed systems, and the absence of standards for some attractive technologies. In this report, the second phase of a three-year study by the Committee on Maritime Advanced Information Systems of the National Research Council, a strategy is presented for overcoming the major barriers and deficiencies and providing a minimum level of maritime safety information nationwide. In this phase of the study, the committee concentrated on maritime information systems that promote safety, which is the area of greatest need. The committee did not examine in detail the relationship between navigation safety and maritime transportation efficiency or evaluate information systems that promote efficiency; the committee believes, however, that these issues deserve further attention.
