a ECDIS is seen as major step forward in safe ship operation and protection of the environment
The mandatory introduction of Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems is seen as a major step forward in safe ship operation and protection of the environment
The UK P&I Club issues brochure regarding ECDIS- Navigational and claims issues. The attached brochure attempts to provide a user friendly guide to the mystery surrounding electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS). It is in three sections.
The first section provides the reader with a general introduction to ECDIS and the legislation that governs its operation. The second section focuses on the
operational aspects of ECDIS considering the requirements of generic and type specific training in further detail.
The final section considers the legal effect of failure to meet the statutory ECDIS requirements and the effect on claims where levels of operation or knowledge of ECDIS are considered to be a factor or fundamental link in the chain of causation leading to an incident.
