Course Description

The aim of the course is to train Bridge Watchkeeping Officers and other interested personnel in the safe and efficient use of ECDIS.

The course meets the guidance of IMO Model Course 1.27, The Operational Use of ECDIS, for generic ECDIS training and is also approved by Transas for Type Specific training on the Navi Sailor 4000 ECDIS.

Successful completion of this course will result in the issue of certification for Generic ECDIS training (to IMO 1.27) and Transas Navi Sailor 4000 ECDIS Equipment training.

The course takes place over 5 days in the new dedicated ECDIS training suite at the Warsash campus. It follows the recommendations of IMO Model Course 1.27 and concentrates on the safe and efficient use of ECDIS at sea in a variety of conditions, from ocean passages to pilotages.

Practical exercises using the desktop simulators reinforce the theory and provide an opportunity to develop and practice responses to emergency situations and use reversionary modes including loss of GPS signal.
