ECDIS Course in Kolkata

The ECDIS Mandatory Course is a STCW-compliant course, which provides deck officers with the knowledge needed to safely and effectively operate an ECDIS. There are several areas of instruction contained in this course, including: using electronic navigational charts, route planning and monitoring via ECDIS, alarm management via ECDIS, connecting other sensors (GPS, AIS & RADAR) to the ECDIS, and legal requirements of using ECDIS as outlined by the International Maritime Organisation.

The primary focus of the course is on simulation and practical exercises, covering such areas as: passage planning, proper initial setting up of ECDIS equipment for safe operation, maintenance of electronic navigational charts, and checking accuracy of electronic navigational charts by either tangible or intangible means.

The overall goal of the ECDIS Course is to prepare students to adequately meet STCW Certification Requirements to reduce human error and increase safety in navigation. In addition, this will result in vessels operating within SOLAS Compliance, while using ECDIS. Deck officers who will be assigned to vessels equipped with ECDIS are required to complete this course.
