Main
Main Features
The GEM ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information
System) has the following main features:

› Fully type approved by DNV according to IEC 61174

› Route planning
› Route monitoring
› Logbook with playback facility
› Manual update of charts
› ARPA and AIS target display and information
› North up, Head up and Course up modes
› Relative and True motion display

ROUTE PLANNING ROUTE MONITORING

With GEM ECDIS the operator can plan a route, setting
the position of waypoints as well as the length and the
angle of the route legs.
Furthermore it is possible to set a maximum allowed
deviation for the out-of-route alarm and to assign
names to the waypoints.
It can be useful in some situations to enable the “route
safety check” option, in order to have the system
continuously checking that all the route legs inserted by
the user are free of danger.
During the voyage along a chosen route, several kinds
of information, alarms and warnings are available, such
as:
› Estimate of the time to the next waypoint and to the
voyage destination;
› Direction of the current route leg and of the next one,
in order to get ready to haul;
› Planned speed and direction, with autopilot
management;
› Adjustable out-of-route and waypoint approaching
alarms.

LOGBOOK

Automatic logbook management, with periodic information about ownship

position, ARPA tracks, system alarms and possibility to insert individual user
notes.
It is possible to export the logbook file to .txt format to display its content.
Playback facility available.
Aids
Navigation - Safety
Aids and Safety
GEM ECDIS features the following outstanding functions:

Navigation Aids
› Autopilot system
› Man Overboard
› Dead reckoning
› Multiple position sources

Navigation Safety
› Antigrounding control
› Depth check with safety contour
› Acoustic and blinking alarms
› Collision avoidance with ARPA and AIS target detection

ANTIGROUNDING
Special antigrounding function, with selectable and
adjustable parameters to build a safe zone ahead the
ship direction. The ECDIS gives blinking and acoustic
alarms when ground or dangerous objects are inside
this special zone.
Angular span of the zone and time to collision can be
changed by the user.

MAN OVERBOARD
A Man Overboard emergency function is provided,
enabled by simply pushing a button: immediately a
special symbol is drawn on the map in the same spot of
the ownship current position.
All data about stream direction and speed can be
written on a special window to allow the system to
calculate and display the movement of the man
overboard.
The time necessary to go back to rescue the man is also
calculated.

ANTICOLLISION
The anticollision system is a key point for a safe
navigation. All the targets detected by ARPA and AIS are
automatically checked by the ECDIS to avoid possible
collisions with the ownship. This is done dynamically, by
continuously predicting the future scenario based on the
current cinematic data. Acoustic and visual alarms are
immediately activated in case of collision risk. All the ARPA
and AIS target information is available on user's request.
