Why ECDIS? (Electronic Chart Display and Information System)
Safety
“The primary function of ECDIS is to
contribute to safe navigation.” IMO, 1995.

1. Display information on ECDIS.
2. The importance of Safety Settings.
3. The chart scale in use – the significance of ‘compilation scale’.
4. The cells used on the ECDIS to display and the features of those cells, e.g. Scamin
5. The need to keep ECDIS software updated

Display Information
Chart objects and information available for display are
contained in IMO Performance Standards and divided into:
Base
Standard
All other Information
“Base” and “Standard” displays should look the same
It is possible for a user to select too much or too little
information on the display
Display setup will vary depending on a variety of factors

Display Standards
• Display Base
– Minimum set of information which must always be
displayed and cannot be removed

Display Standards
• Standard Display
– The information contained in the display base and
most of the detail needed for safe navigation.
What is about soundings?

Safety settings :
Appropriate safety settings are of paramount
importance for the safe navigation:
Normally ship’s draft + Squat
The division between safe and unsafe water.
(Basically Ship’s draft+Squat+UKC – Ht of tide)
To indicate the area in which the depth of water is such that own ship may experience squat. Normally twice ship’s draft.
The display of isolated dangers changes according to the safety contour
Safety depth :
Safety Contour :
Deep Contour :
Shallow Contour : To highlight the gradient of the seabed
adjacent to the safety contour. It should be next
contour shallower than Safety Contour.
Underwater obstn /
isolated danger :

Calculating Safety Settings
An Example
Draught +6.0m
Squat @ 10Kts +1.0m
Safety/Extra UKC +2.0m
Height of Tide -2.0m
Safety Contour 7.0m
• Remember to consider the CATZOC while
calculating Safety Settings.
• CATZOC (“Category of Zone of Confidence”
in six categories) in an ENC gives an estimate
of the reliability in the source data.

ECDIS Software upgrade
• If ECDIS software is not upgraded to read latest
version of the ENC Specification or to use the latest
version of the S-52 Presentation Library (3.4), then
there could be :
A failure to display a navigational feature correctly
A failure to activate alarm correctly
A failure to manage a number of alarms correctly
In this case, it may display question mark
(?)

This ? Mark symbol means
• No symbol in ECDIS ? – Older software (Newer
software will display “New Object” symbols)
• Data missing from object ? (Direction/colour etc)
• Low accuracy data
• IHO has recently provided a „check data‟ to help
mariners to identify if their particular ECDIS is
able to display all the latest IMO features

ECDIS alarm management
It is very critical as
it could vary from manufacturer to manufacturer
the level of control over alarms may vary from being
very detailed control to minimal control
some manufacturers allow the mandatory alarms to
be disabled
some even allow choice of chart scale for alarm check

Important
• Not all dangers are enclosed by a contour
• Guard Zone / Safety Frame still active if not
displayed
• User MUST know which alarms are disabled
• Guard Zone should be set:
“As large as possible, as small as necessary”

observation of a parallel index on the radar
monitoring the depth shown by echo sounder

Conclusion
Navigators should not over-reliance on ECDIS
Always cross check ECDIS information with other sources
A visual lookout is very important as „human eyes are the
most valuable tool at a navigator‟s disposal‟
ECDIS is a valuable asset for navigators - more time to
maintain a proper lookout with detailed situational awareness
ECDIS may „contribute to accidents‟ rather than preventing
them until used accurately and properly.
