Learn to efficiently plan and navigate maritime vessels using Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS).

ECDIS Generic Course

Course Description: Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) means a navigation information system which, with adequate back up arrangements, can be accepted as complying with the up-to-date chart required by regulation V/19 & V/27 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, by displaying selected information from navigation sensors to assist the mariner in route planning and route monitoring, and by displaying additional navigation-related information if required. The SSTG Simulation adds realism to the course as all events take place in real time, but in the safety of a training environment.
