ECDIS Manual – Second Edition

Understanding ECDIS and selecting the right system is vital for ensuring a vessel’s safe and precise navigation on track and on time. The ECDIS Manual, written by and for ECDIS navigators, draws on the knowledge of leading ECDIS experts and manufacturers, as well as classification societies and NGOs, to support a ship’s transition to digital navigation in accordance with IMO, IHO, flag State, PSC, ISM, SMS and SIRE requirements.

The ECDIS Manual outlines the history and development of digital navigation and provides detailed explanations of electronic charts and operating systems, supplemented by over 500 screenshots and colour images. It includes familiarisation checklists for a number of different systems, as well as the CIRM GL-001 Guideline for ECDIS Performance Test Procedure.
