New edition educates on ECDIS
ECDIS Passage Planning and Watchkeeping: 2021 Edition, Witherbys
The
latest edition of ECDIS Passage Planning and Watchkeeping gives the reader a chance to understand best practice and to see exactly how to proceed in configuring ECDIS using the APEM (appraisal, planning, execution and monitoring) methodology.
To gain the full benefits of using ECDIS – namely safer ship operation – the operator needs to be capable of setting up the system correctly, particularly the safety and display settings. They must also be aware of how it works and how its accuracy can be verified. As well as contributing towards a good working understanding of these particularly, this publication allows officers to examine every function and technique available and encourages the reader to practise their use, from setting correct safety depths and safety contours to alarm management.
The 2021 edition includes updated ECDIS screenshots and illustrations.
