ECDIS Procedures Guide 2023-2024 Edition/Руководство по пользованию системой ЭКНИС 2023-2024

Книга на английском языке
The 2024 Guide has been updated for the next generation of ECDIS software, which is currently being developed and delivered at sea by some of the leading manufacturers. The ‘6th Generation’ software uses artificial intelligence (Al) to support the traditional principles of navigation. For Appraisal, this includes ECDIS defining safe water by automatically interpolating between charted depths to make quick and alarmable ‘no-go’ areas. For Planning, this includes automatic and optimal route creation by ECDIS software, for fuel efficiency and to automatically create a passage plan. For Execution and Monitoring, this includes schedule monitoring and recommendations (often automatically connected to the track control system) and a more informed ‘look-ahead’, predicting ships’ paths and being aware of potential navigational dangers. This 2024 edition offers an in-depth explanation of these new updates, highlighting best practice for their use. It includes worked examples from different manufacturers’ systems and highlights the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating Al in ECDIS usage. For many ships, this development will require a modernisation of current practices, which this Guide aims to assist with.
The 2024 Guide has also been significantly updated to reflect all the latest software, hardware, documentation, PSC/audit skill gaps and procedures for best practice in ECDIS navigation. It is vital that all ships carrying ECDIS have installed and understood the latest updates and requirements.
