The Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS): An Operational Handbook


Book Description

Electronic navigation, although still relatively new, is becoming increasingly more common, particularly on commercial vessels. This handbook offers a wealth of detailed information about how different charting systems operate and answers the most commonly asked questions regarding electronic charts (ENC, RNC, DNC) and electronic chart systems (ECD




Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS)


Book Description

Buku ini disusun untuk membantu para pelaut yang sedang mengikuti Diklat Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS). Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) adalah sistem informasi dan tampilan peta elektronik dan dapat menampilkan secara otomatis posisi kapal, serta pembaharuan secara otomatis, radar overlay, GPS, AIS, Speed Log, sistem sensor dan lain-lain dalam satu perangkat yang didesain dan telah memenuhi persyaratan yang telah ditentukan. ECDIS memiliki sistem dan fungsi yang dapat memberikan informasi tentang navigasi dan kegunaannya adalah untuk memback-up peralatan yang ada, sehingga dapat diterima dan dianggap memenuhi persyaratan yang ditentukan sesuai aturan V/19 dan V/27 dari konvensi SOLAS 1974 dan amandemennya. Dengan adanya buku ini, peserta diklat diharapkan dapat memahami tipe-tipe peta elektronik, fungsi dasar ECDIS, kegagalan dan sistem back up serta resiko ketergantungan. Materi pada buku ini meliputi: 1. Karakteristik ECDIS. 2. Fungsi dasar pada bagian-bagian pada ECDIS. 3. Safety risk. 4. Bahaya-bahaya dalam menentukan posisi yang salah. 5. Kesalahan operasional ECDIS.




ECDIS Basics


Book Description

Without doubt, ECDIS is one of the most complex and sophisticated navigational tools on board a ship today. Inevitably, all SOLAS-ships will be fitted with this equipment over the next few years. High quality training and instructions are therefore essential requirements and this is where this book can play an important role. The objective of the book is to impart practical hands-on knowledge about ECDIS. For less experienced users, the book will help to gain a profound overview of the principles of ECDIS navigation and the related challenges. Howver, it is likely that advanced ECDIS operators will also be able to find new answers and helpful suggestions for ECDIS navigation in this book. Based upon the principles of the IMO Model Course 1.27, the book will be used in many training centres all over the world and is suitable for all kinds of ECDIS courses in different settings. It is compatible with the e-learning courses of Videotel and Safebridge

The ECDIS Manual


Book Description

The principles of navigation have not changed, but the art of navigation has. With the right training and to some degree the right ECDIS, you can replace paper charts with an ECDIS in all operating conditions - even when GPS is unavailable. This manual is about sharing best practice and ensuring that the transition is efficient and safe.




Marine Navigation and Safety of Sea Transportation


Book Description

The TransNav 2013 Symposium held at the Gdynia Maritime University, Poland in June 2013 has brought together a wide range of participants from all over the world. The program has offered a variety of contributions, allowing to look at many aspects of the navigational safety from various different points of view. Topics presente







Geoinformatics for Marine and Coastal Management


Book Description

Geoinformatics for Marine and Coastal Management provides a timely and valuable assessment of the current state of the art geoinformatics tools and methods for the management of marine systems. This book focuses on the cutting-edge coverage of a wide spectrum of activities and topics such as GIS-based application of drainage basin analysis, contribution of ontology to marine management, geoinformatics in relation to fisheries management, hydrography, indigenous knowledge systems, and marine law enforcement. The authors present a comprehensive overview of the field of Geoinformatic Applications in Marine Management covering key issues and debates with specific case studies illustrating real-world applications of the GIS technology. This "box of tools" serves as a long-term resource for coastal zone managers, professionals, practitioners, and students alike on the management of oceans and the coastal fringe, promoting the approach of allowing sustainable and integrated use of oceans to maximize opportunities while keeping risks and hazards to a minimum.
