Objective:
- Demonstrate proficiency in operating an ECDIS to navigate a vessel safely
Tasks:
- Start with a blank chart: Begin with a blank chart screen on the ECDIS.
- Select appropriate chart: Choose the correct chart covering the vessel’s intended voyage area. Ensure that the chart is up-to-date and suitable for the vessel’s type and size.
- Display vessel information: Input the vessel’s position, course, speed, and other relevant information into the ECDIS.
- Activate layers: Determine which chart layers are necessary for safe navigation and activate them. This may include:
- Nautical charts: Base charts showing the seabed, coastlines, and navigation aids.
- ENCs (Electronic Navigational Charts): Digital charts with detailed information about the area.
- Radar overlay: Integration of radar data to display targets and hazards.
