1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 The primary function of the ECDIS is to contribute to safe navigation.
1.6 ECDIS should have at least the same reliability and availability of
presentation as the paper chart published by government-authorized
hydrographic offices.
1.7 ECDIS should provide appropriate alarms or indications with respect to the
information displayed or malfunction of the equipment (see appendix 5)
2. Principal types of electronic chart
Chart Data Base
At the heart of any integrated bridge system lays an electronic chart. An electronic
chart system meeting International Maritime Organization (IMO) specifications for
complying with chart carrying requirements is an Electronic Chart Display and
Information System (ECDIS). All other electronic charts are known as Electronic
Chart System (ECS).
ECDIS Defined by the IMO as the integrated bridge system that complies with the
up-to-date chart carrying requirements of international law.
Raster Chart data is a digitized picture of a chart. All data is in one layer
and one format. The video display simply reproduces
the picture from its
digitized data file.
- It is difficult to change individual elements of the chart since they are not
separated in the data file. This data files tend to be large, since a
data point
must be entered for every picture element (pixel) on the chart.
Vector Chart data is organized into many separate files. It contains graphics program
to produce certain symbols, lines, area colors, and other chart elements. The
programmer can change individual elements in the file and tag elements with
additional data.
Vector files are smaller and more versatile than raster files of the same area. The
navigator can selectively display vector data, adjusting the display according to his
needs.
3 ECDIS Data
means a database resulting from the transformation of the ENC by ECDIS for
appropriate use, updates to the ENC by appropriate means, and other data added by the
mariner.
ECDIS should provide a means of ensuring that the ENC and all updates to it have been
correctly loaded into the SENC.
The ENC data and updates to it should be clearly distinguishable from other displayed
information, such as, for example that listed in appendix 3.
The desktop workflows are client driven where the data for a given product is
isolated, meaning it is not replicated to another database. When setting up the
desktop workflow, the product library is used to load the schema via Implement
Instance.
There are two desktop production environments that you can use, depending
on your data compilation needs. If you need to create S-57 data from scratch,
run the Populate process using the Nautical Desktop Populator method. This
method can be set at the product class level within the product class properties.
If you need to modify existing S-57 data, you can just implement your product
instance and import the cell directly into the product geodatabase.
You can create a product and create new data for it.
You can create a product and load existing data into it.
The chart information to be used in ECDIS should be the latest edition of that
originated by a government authorized hydrographic office, and conform to IHO
standards.
The contents of the SENC should be adequate and up-to-date for the intended
voyage to comply with regulation V/20 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention.
ECDIS Units
The following units of measure will appear on the EC-DIS chart display:
Position: Latitude and Longitude will be shown in degrees, minutes, and
decimal minutes, normally based on WGS-84 datum.
Depth: Depth will be indicated in meters and decimeters. Fathoms and feet may
be used as an interim measure only:
When existing chart data is held in those units only,
When there is an urgent need for an ENC of the applicable area, and
Time does not allow for an immediate conversion ofthe English units to
their metric equivalents.
Height: Meters (preferred) or feet.
Distance: Nautical miles and decimal miles, or meters.
Speed: Knots and decimal knots.

convenience in processing in ECDIS,
7. supplementary features such as the ECDIS Chart 1, colour differentiation test diagram,

COLORS AND SYMBOLS
Displaying Text
The power of ECDIS lies in conveying operational information quickly, clearly
and comprehensively through a picture, a birds eye view of the ship and her
surroundings. text should be avoided on this graphical operational display
unless it is absolutely necessary, because it conveys limited and, since it has
to be written large to be readable, causes confusing clutter.
However, some text may be unavoidable, both on the operational display (e.g.
buoy numbers if there are required for VTS reporting) or on a separate text
display (e.g. course to steer, heading; alarms; tidal information; user
interaction to control the ECDIS, etc.)
indication of isolated underwater dangers at depths of less than the safety contour
which lie within the safe waters defined by the safety contour;
indication of isolated dangers which lie within the safe water defined by the safety
contour such as bridges, overhead wires, etc., including bouys and beacons,
whether or not these are being used aids to navigation;
2. Standard displayed when the chart is first displayed by ECDIS, consisting of:
display base
drying base
spot soundings
ferry routes
geodetic datum
magnetic variation
graticule
place names
Detection
Where a separate facility is provided for detection of targets, other than by the
radar observer, it should have a performance not inferior to that which could be
obtained by the use of the radar display.
Acquisition
Target acquisition may be manual or automatic for relative speeds up to 100
knots. However, there should always be a facility to provide for manual
acquisition and cancellation: ARPA with automatic acquisition should have
a facility to suppress acquisition in certain areas. On any range scale where
acquisition is suppressed over a certain area, the area of acquisition should
be defined and indicated on the display.
Automatic or manual acquisition should have a performance not inferior to
that which could be obtained by the user of the radar display.
Tracking
The ARPA should be able automatically to track, process, simultaneously
display and continuously update the information on at least 20 targets,
whether automatically or manually acquired.
If automatic acquisition is provided, description of the criteria of selection of
targets for tracking should be provided to the user. If the ARPA does not track
all targets visible on the display, targets which are being tracked should be
clearly indicated with the relevant symbol* on the display. The reliability of
tracking should not be less than those obtainable using manual recordings of
successive target positions obtained from the radar display.
Display
The display may be a separate or integral part of the ship's radar. However,
the ARPA display should include all the data required to be provided by a
radar display in accordance with the performance standards for
navigational radar equipment.
The design should be such that any malfunction of ARPA parts producing
data additional to information to be produced by the radar as required by
the performance standards for navigational equipment should not affect the
integrity of the basic radar presentation.
The course and speed information generated by the ARPA for acquired
targets should be displayed in a vector or graphic form which clearly
indicates the target's predicted motion with relevant symbols*. In this
regard:
The ARPA information should not obscure the visibility of radar targets.
The display of ARPA data should be under the control of the radar observer.
It should be possible to cancel the display of unwanted ARPA data within
3s.
The method of presentation should ensure that the ARPA data are clearly
visible in general to more than one observer in the conditions of light normally
experienced on the bridge of a ship by day and by night. Screening may be
provided to shade the display from sunlight but not to the extent that it will
impair the observer's ability to maintain a proper look-out. Facilities to adjust
the brightness should be provided.
Provisions should be made to obtain quickly the range and bearing of any
object which appears on the ARPA display.
Accuracy
The ARPA should provide accuracies not less than those given in 3.8.2 and
3.8.3 for the four scenarios defined in appendix 2. With the sensor errors
specified in appendix 3, the values given relate to the best possible manual
plotting performance under environmental conditions of 10 degrees of roll.
An ARPA should present within one minute of steady state tracking the
relative motion trend of target with the following accuracy values (95%
probability values).
Note 1: In steady state tracking both own and target ship follow straight
line course at constant speed.
When a tracked target, or own ship, has completed a maneuver, the system
should present in a period of not more than 1 min an indication of the
target's motion trend, and display within 3 min the target's predicted
motion, in accordance with 3.4.6, 3.6, 3.8.2 and 3.8.3. In this context, a
"maneuver of own ship" should be deemed to consist of an alteration of
course of + 45? in 1 min.
The ARPA should be designed in such a manner that under the most
favorable conditions of own ship's motion the error contribution from the
ARPA should remain insignificant compared to the errors associated with
the input sensors, for the scenarios of appendix 2.
SENSOR ERRORS
The accuracy figures quoted in 3.8 of these standards are based upon the
following sensor errors, and are appropriate to equipment complying with
the performance standards for shipborne navigational equipment.
Note: s means "standard deviation".
Radar
Roll-pitch bearing: The bearing error will peak in each of the four quadrants
around own ship for targets on relative bearings of 045? 135?, 225?and 315?,
and will be zero at relative bearings of 0?, 90?, 180? and 270?.
This error has a sinusoidal variation at twice the roll frequency.
For a 10? roll the mean error is 0.22? with a 0.22? peak sine wave
superimposed.
Beam shape - assumed normal distribution giving bearing error with s = 0.05?
Quantization
Bearing - rectangular distribution + 0.1? maximum.
Range - rectangular distribution + 0.01 nautical miles maximum.
Bearing encoder assumed to be running from a remote synchro giving bearing errors
with a normal distribution s = 0.03?.
Gyro-compass
Calibration error 0.5?.
Normal distribution about this with s = 0.12?.
Log
Calibration error 0.5 knots.
Normal distribution about this, 3s = 0.2 knots.
RECOMMENDATION ON PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
FOR RADAR EQUIPMENT
Range performance
The operational requirement under normal propagation conditions, when the radar
antenna is mounted at a height of 15 meters above sea level, is that the equipment
should in the absence of clutter give a clear indication of:
1. Coastlines
At 20 Nautical miles when the ground rises to 60 meters.
At 7 nautical miles when the ground rises to 6 meters.
2. Surface Objects
At 7 nautical miles when the ground rises to 60 meters.
At 3 nautical miles a small vessel of 10 meters in length.
At 2 nautical miles an object such as a navigational buoy having an effective
echoing area of approximately 10 square meters.
Minimum Range
The surface objects specified in 3.1.2 should be clearly displayed from a
minimum range of 50 meters up to a range of one nautical mile, without
changing the setting of controls other than the range selector.
Display
1. 180 millimetres on ships of 500 tons gross tonnage and more but less
than 1,600 tons gross tonnage;
2. 250 miliimetres on ships of 1,600 tons gross tonnage and more but less
than 10,000 tons gross tonnage;
3. 340 millimetres in the case of one display and 250 millimetres in the
case of the other on ships of 10,000 tons gross tonnage and upwards
The equipment should provide one of the two following sets of range scales of
display:
1. 1.5, 3, 6 , 12 and 24 nautical miles and one range scale of not less than
0.5 and not greater than 0.8 nautical miles; or
2. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 nautical miles.
The range scale displayed and the distance between range rings should be
clearly indicated at all times.
Range measurement
1. when range scales are provided in accordance with 3.3.2.1, on the range
scale of between 0.5 and 0.8nautical miles at least two range rings
should be provided and on each of the other range scales six range rings
should be provided, or
2. Where range scales are provided in accordance with 3.3.2.2, four range
rings should be provided on each of the range scales.
HEADING INDICATOR
The heading of the ship should be indicated by a line on the display with a
maximum error not greater than plus or minus 1 degree. The thickness of the
displayed heading line should not be greater than 0.5 degrees.
Provisions should be made to switch off heading indicator by a device which cannot
be left in the heading marker off position.
BEARING MEASUREMENT
GET A BEARING
A bearing is a measurement of direction between two
points. Bearings are generally given in one of
two formats, an azimuth bearing or a quadrant bearing.
An azimuth bearing uses all 360 of a compass to indicate
direction. The compass is numbered clockwise with
north as 0, east 90, south 180, and west 270. So a
bearing of 42 would be northeast and a bearing of
200 would be southwest, and so on. For quadrant bearings the compass isdivided
into four sections, each containing 90. The two quadrants in the northern half of
the compass are numbered from 0 to 90 away from north (clockwise in the east,
counterclockwise in the west). In the southern half of the compass, the two
quadrants are numbered away from south (counterclockwise in the east,
clockwise in the west).
Measuring a bearing
So, youre in the field with your map at point A and want to get to point Bhow
do you accomplish this? The first thing you need to do is determine the bearing
from point A to point B. There are two ways to go about this.
The easiest way, is to carry a protractor with you when youre in the field. If
you have a protractor with you, place it on the map so it is oriented
parallel to a
north-south gridline, with the center of the protractor on
point A (or on a line
drawn between points A and B). Once you
have
done this, you can simply read the bearing you need to go off of the
protractor. If you dont happen to have a
protractor with you, you can
determine the bearing you need using your compass.
To do this, place your compass on the map
compass
To orient yourself along this path, orient your compass so that the north arrow is
pointing at the bearing you want, but in the adjacent quadrant. For example, we want
to head out at a bearing of 20 (N 20E). To do so, align the north end of the needle
with 340 (N 20W).
When you do this, the front edge of your compass is pointing 20 in the
direction you want to go.
Now perhaps it is clearer why on some compasses the east and west labels
appear to be on the wrong side of the compass. If the bearing you want is N
20E and the labels are swapped, then when you line up with N 20E as
labeled on the compass, the compass is truly pointing toward N 20W.
Most compasses have some sort of sighting system built into them to allow
greater accuracy in determining where you want to go. If your compass has
a sight (check your owners manual to see if it has one and, if so, learn how
to use it), you will orient it the same way as described above, but you can
look through the sight at the same time and find an object to walk toward.
By finding an object (such as a tree or large rock) that lies along your path
you will have more freedom to go around obstacles (such as large gullies,
streams, hills, etc.) without losing track of the direction your are travelling.
Once you reach the object you were headed for, sight in on another object
along your path, repeating this
process until you arrives at point B.
DISCRIMINATION
ROLL OR PITCH
The performance of the equipment should be such that when the ship is rolling or
pitching up to plus or minus 10 degrees performance requirements of 3.1 and 3.2

the sea clutter, rain and other forms of precipitation, clouds and sandstorms. It
should be possible to adjust manually and continuously the anti-clutter controls.
The anti-clutter controls should be inoperative in fully anti-clockwise positions. In
addition, automatic anti-clutter controls may be provided; however, they must be
capable of being switched off.
OPERATION

efficiency of the radar system is not substantially impaired.
ACCURACY OF MEASUREMENT
Errors in the indicted speed, when the ship is operating free from
shallow water effect and from the effects of wind, current and tide,
should not exceed 2% of the speed of the ship, or 0.2 knots, whichever is
greater.
Errors in the indicated distance run, when the ship is operating free from
shallow water effect and from the effect of wind, current and tide, should
not exceed 2% of the distance run by the ship in 1 h 0.2 nautical miles in

Note: When compass is used for purposes other than steering and bearing, a higher
accuracy might be necessary. To ensure that the maximum error referred to in subparagraph 5.2.3.4 is not exceed in practice, it will be necessary to pay particular
attention to the sitting of the master compass.
POWER SUPPLY
If a provision is made for operating the equipment from more than one
source of electrical energy, arrangements for rapidly changing from one
source of supply to the other should be incorporated.
INTERFERENCE
All steps should be taken to eliminate as far as practicable the causes of, and to
suppress, electromagnetic interference between the gyro-compass and other
equipment on board.
Mechanical noise from all units should be so limited as not to prejudice the
hearing of sounds on which the safety of the ship might depend.
Each unit of the equipment should be marked with the minimum safe distances
at which it may be mounted from a standard or a steering magnetic compass.
The words GPS receiver equipment as use in these performance standards includes all
the components and units necessary for the system properly to perform its intended
functions. The equipment should include the following minimum facilities.

requirements of this Recommendation when the ship is rolling + 100 and/or
pitching + 50.
POWER SUPPLY
if provisions is made for operating the equipment from more than one source
of electrical energy, arrangements for rapidly changing from one source of
supply to the other should be incorporated.
all reasonable and practicable steps should be taken to eliminate the causes
of, and to suppress, radio interference to other equipment on board.
Mechanical noise from all units should be so limited as not to prejudice the
hearing of sounds on which the safety of the ship might depend.
Each unit of the equipment should be marked with the minimum safe
distances of which it may be mounted from a standard or a steering magnetic
compass.
ECDIS should give an alarm if the ship, within a specified time set by
the mariner, is going to cross the safety contour.
ECDIS should provide an indication when the input from the positionfixing system is lost. ECDIS should also repeat, but only as an indication,
any alarm or indication passed to it from a position-fixing system.
An alarm should be given by ECDIS if the ship, within a specified time or
distance set by the mariner, is going to reach a critical point on the planned
route.
The positioning system and the SENC should be on the same geodetic
datum. ECDIS should give an alarm if this is not the case.
9 Updating
Turns are commenced at a wheel over position, only after the OOW has
acknowledged the wheel over position alarm and is satisfied that it is
safe to execute the turn.
If a malfunction occurs when track-keeping, the system should alarm
and revert immediately to course-keeping mode.
If the malfunction occurs while the autopilot is on a track, the autopilot
should continue to steer the pre-set course of that track. If the autopilot
is performing a turn when the malfunction occurs, the autopilot should
complete the turn at the pre-set turn value and take up the course of
the next track.

The different kinds of alarms and indicators of ECDIS can be divided into three
groups:
nautical alarms which may appear during route planning (e.g. the
planned route is crossing a safety contour) or during route monitoring
(e.g. the ship will cross a safety contour);
sensor alarms and indicators in the case of a failure or breakdown of a
sensor (e.g. position fixing receiver failure during passage monitoring);
data and chart alarms resulting from a change geodetic datum or
overscale setting.
14
Documentation
to ensure a record of own ships past track: time, position, heading and
speed; and
to ensure a record of official data used: ENC source, edition, date, cell
and update history.
In addition, ECDIS should record the complete track for the entire
voyage, with time marks at intervals not exceeding 4 hours.
It should not be possible to manipulate or change the recorded
information.
ECDIS should have the capability to preserve the record of the previous
12 hours and of the voyage track.
