It is vital that all ships carrying ECDIS have installed and understood the latest updates and requirements. This title provides a framework, as well as supporting background information and checklists, to aid officers in fulfilling STCW requirements. 

The 2024-2025 edition has been significantly updated throughout, reflecting all the latest software, hardware, documentation, PSC/audit skill gaps and procedures for best practice. 

New chapters on correct hardware setup, correct software setup, CPD scenarios and solutions have been added, as well as updates including: 

  • The latest standards of equipment and software updates, including the timeline of S-100 in use at sea 
  • ECDIS documentation and compliance in line with the latest IMO circulars and marine general orders 
  • Known chartering issues, support and solutions such as CATZOC inaccuracies, EPNMs and ENC symbology 
  • New features such as Decision Support Tools to optimise ECDIS procedures for 2024 
  • PSC/inspection administration and records including the latest data recording improvements 
  • The transition from NAVTEX to NAVDAT 
  • The top 25 ECDIS questions used at inspection and incident case studies 
  • ECDIS safety checklists for 2024

Volume 2 of the Guide is available for download. It features Type Specific ECDIS Quick Reference Guides to help the navigator identify the functional differences between systems and become familiarised with the specific system on board their ship. These Guides reflect the standards required on board, concentrating on the typical ECDIS configurations of sensors at sea. This volume also includes Type Specific familiarisation checklists to be filled in by ECDIS operators, as well as annotated screenshots highlighting key ECDIS menu functions.

If you live in a remote area, a ‘remote area surcharge’ may be applicable when booking your order on with a courier service for dispatch. A remote area surcharge is an additional fee that is added by a courier service for delivery to a remote location. We will always contact you about this should it ever happen, as it is not a fee that applies during the checkout phase of the online ordering process, but you will be expected to pay it should you wish to receive your order.

Orders placed with us will be dispatched within one to two working days. Dispatch is dependent upon the time when the order is received and provided that all goods ordered are immediately available. If any items are temporarily out of stock, we will endeavour to dispatch the complete order within 7 working days. We always endeavour to ship complete orders and try our best not to ship part orders as a general rule, but on occasion this rule may have grounds for it to be broken due to the varying nature of orders received. We will always try our best to communicate the status of your order should any issue arise that we feel you need to be made aware of.
