ECDIS Awareness Course
Course Objectives
- To identify current and future ECDIS equipment, data and training requirements
- To be able to describe potential errors, consequences and liabilities
- To be able to outline all the “due diligence”, ISM, management of change and risk assessment issues
- To discuss the early “ECDIS-assisted” navigational incidents
- To understand the need to protect yourself and your company or organisation
Course Benefits
- The implementation of an ECDIS system is a complex challenge, covering hardware, data and training issues and there are many traps for the unwary
- There are examples already of ECDIS involvement in navigational incidents – some of them very expensive – and there will be insurance implications for companies who have not, for example, received Flag permission to use ECDIS as the primary means of navigation when that is exactly how it was being used at the time of the incident
- It will be relatively easy to end up with a system (new build delivery or retrofit) which is not fit-for-purpose and the buyer must be aware of what exactly is being purchased
- Management should understand the issues, jargon, risks and have the necessary knowledge and confidence for informed decision-making
- Delivered by experts in the areas of navigation and safety in an engaging interactive style
- It can be cost effectively delivered at your company premises or other locations worldwide
Course Availability and Fees
This course is delivered as a dedicated group package for corporate clients, upon request. The associated inclusive corporate fee will be subject to specific company requirements, such as location, number of delegates etc.
