Whats ECDIS? Charts

Whats ECDIS?
An Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) is a computer-based navigation system that complies with IMO regulations and can function as an alternative for paper navigation charts. One of the performance standards is to have ENCs installed for the intended voyage.
ENCs Electronic Navigational Charts. These are official vector charts conforming to the specifications of the IHO, issued by or on behalf of a national hydrographic office. IHO nations are responsible for producing ENCs of their own waters and updating them with all safety-critical information. Flag/Class society The state (country) in which a ship is registered and hence under which flag it is sailing is known as the Flag State. Please always contact your Flag State/Class society to be aware of interpretation of the ECDIS mandatory regulations.

After hundreds of years of sailing with paper charts, merchant-shipping fleets will make a transition to digital navigation in little more than 20 years. The JRC ECDISs may, if flag state/class society approves, be used as the primary source of navigational information in place of paper charts.

A new approach

Probably the biggest change is the ENCs used inside an ECDIS, representing a new approach to navigation. As opposed to a paper reference, an ENC is a key component for ECDIS navigation, assisting in navigational decision-making and situational awareness as its able to continuously indicate a vessels position relative to land, objects, hazards and more.

Charts

There are two types

of electronic charts - vector and raster charts.

Vector

A vector chart is a digital database of all objects (points, lines, depths, areas etc.) represented in several layers on a chart.

Raster

A raster chart is a scanned and passive image of a paper chart.

When ENC is not available

In order to sail paperless, ENCs are required as primary source of navigation. RNC may be used in ECDIS in areas where ENCs are not (yet) available. If ECDIS is using RNCs, this must be together with an appropriate portfolio of up-todate paper charts.

The JRC ECDIS converts each ENC from S-57/63 ENC format into an internal format called System-ENC or SENC, a process to optimize chart display. SENC delivery is an alternative method to the standard distribution and use of official ENC data. Users are able to directly receive SENC1, a conversion which otherwise would have to happen inside the ECDIS.

ENC-to-SENC

RNCs Raster Navigational Charts. Charts conform to IHO specifications and are produced by digitally scanning the image of a paper chart. They contain significant metadata to ensure minimum functionality, such as geo-referencing, ability to update and show corrections and day/night view.

S-57 IHO special publication S-57. It contains the IHO transfer standards for digital hydrographic data. S-63 IHO standard for encrypting and securing ENC data. The S-63 standard is the official IHO standard since December 2002. Protected data can be decrypted by a user permit number assigned to each ECDIS individually. S-100 IHO has introduced (January 2010) a new hydrographic geospatial standard for marine data and information, known as S-100. This new S-100 standard is aligned with the ISO19100 series of geographic standards.

Charts inside JRC ECDIS

All new JRC ECDISs come standard (ex-factory) with Admiraltys pre-loaded range of (official) global ENCs and ready for ARCS and C-Maps Ed.3 with e-Token driver.

About AVCS

All new JRC ECDISs will be preloaded in the factory with all AVCS (Admiralty Vector Chart Service) charts. JRC and UKHO offer this integrated service with direct access to the UKHO portfolio of ENCs, making it easier to obtain the data required for passage planning and voyage execution. The JRCs ECDIS JAN-901B/701B/2000 series offer seafarers a great value in bridge technology, delivering seamless access to navigational data.

Training

Training

ECDIS is a total change from paper charts, therefore key to implementation is training. The master, first officer and other watchkeeping bridge officers should, as a minimum, undertake a generic ECDIS training course. In addition some authorities and/or class societies require a type-specific ECDIS course together with regular updated training.

Generic

ISM The International Safety Management Code (ISM Code) stands for the safe operation of ships and pollution prevention. A few examples of what is required to be up-to-date: v Voyage planning v Pre-(arrival or departure) routines v Watch-keeping routines v Chart correction routines v Service and support routines v And more

This is a standardized general course (IMO model course 1.27) consisting of a number of topics and skills on the operational use of ECDIS.

Type-specific

This is a training course for the ECDIS model in use onboard. A JRC-specific (familiarization) training is required according to ISM code.

Current IMO Standards for Training, Certification and Watch-keeping (STCW) is written around paper charts, but ECDIS is considered to be included under the term chart. From 1 January 2012, the new STCW will include mandatory ECDIS training.

The ISM code has strict wording on training, referring to the training of users of safetyrelated equipment, such as ECDIS.

IMO

The IMO amendments to the international convention for SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) makes it compulsory to fit an ECDIS. The legislation will be phased by vessel type and size and will eventually apply to almost all large merchant and passenger ships. Use below timetable to determine which of your vessel(s) will be affected and when:

Note that vessels may be free from installing ECDIS when they will be permanently out-of-service within 2 years after the implementation date.

Back-up

A single ECDIS does not normally qualify for compliance for paperless sailing. It is a normal requirement to have ECDIS back up with a second ECDIS, chart radar or paper charts.

UPS

A UPS may also be required due to possible blackout during switchover from vessels mains to emergency power source.

Sensor

An ECDIS must be directly connected to an electronic positioning system, gyro and log sensor. When no gyro is available, the ECDIS should be connected to the ships Transmitting Heading Device (THD).

Check your flag state and class society requirements for ECDIS back-up, power supply and connected sensor requirements.

Radar overlay

The JRC JAN-701B/901B offers more than just overlaying a rough radar image. The radar image has a high resolution when interfaced with JRC radars. Priority objects on the vector charts are not hidden but overlaid on the radar image. At the same time, brilliance and clutter controls of the radar images continues to be operable.
