ECDIS Course in Puducherry

The ECDIS (Electronic Charting and Display Systems) course is a mandatory STCW course for deck officers to learn to correctly and safely use an ECDIS system at sea. Topics covered in the course include electronic navigational charts, route planning, route monitoring, alarm management, connecting to other sensors (GPS, AIS, radar), and legal issues (as required by the International Maritime Organisation). Most of the course is conducted using a simulator to perform practical and simulation exercises, including passage planning, setting up an ECDIS for safe use, keeping electronic navigational charts up-to-date, and verifying the accuracy of electronic navigational charts. The training will help develop safer navigation and reduce human error; students who pass the course will receive sufficient STCW certification to work onboard vessels that are equipped with an ECDIS system as per SOLAS regulations. All deck officers who will work on vessels equipped with an ECDIS system must complete this course.
