High technology helps in various areas, and shipping is no exception. Any onboard equipment requires proper maintenance and control, which means responsibility and necessary knowledge on the part of the seaman. Even the most highly technical equipment requires the presence of an experienced operator. Perhaps the most popular and popular of them is ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System), which is used as an alternative to sea maps on paper. In ECDIS, you will work with vector and raster maps. To work on a ship that uses this system, you will need to present a certificate of passing the test. By the way, sometimes, in addition to the standard test, you have to undergo additional training on a specific ECDIS system that is installed on a particular vessel. The crewing that you are working with should inform you about this in advance.
ECDIS is used to plan the route and monitor its progress. The system also helps you assess the navigation situation. This information is combined on a single display and allows you to make decisions on Board. ECDIS also provides information about wind direction and speed, magnetic and gyrocompass course, relative and absolute speed, and many other navigation parameters.
Navigation system ECDIS has a wide range of functions that any sailor will have to understand. ECDIS Test was developed to evaluate the program’s knowledge.
How does ECDIS testing work?
You will find a set of questions that will take some time to complete. You may have several attempts to pass the test, but only in this time period. According to the rules, the subject must have a webcam enabled during the test.
In fact, you can get a good result if you have at least basic navigation knowledge and are familiar with specific abbreviations, how the system works, and the interface of the program itself.
Shipping and crewing companies that send candidates for testing usually set the minimum passing score themselves – usually, the result above 70% is considered positive.
It is not superfluous to study the relevant documentation on the topic of navigation and talk with more experienced colleagues who have already been tested before you. Usually, even a novice seaman already has an idea about the work of ecnis, as they encountered this program during their practice. In any case, the ECDIS developers have provided the system with detailed manuals and explanations, and you can try to find answers to questions on the Internet. There is also an online simulator that allows you to test your strength and knowledge before taking the exam.
Time will pass, and all vessels will be equipped with eknis without exception. Today, ECDIS is still a secondary system, but SOLAS has already been amended to completely replace classic paper cards with electronic ones. Therefore, the ECDIS certificate is becoming more and more popular.
Studying the Type Specific course usually gives you the necessary knowledge about electronic maps. However, only theoretical ones, and they, as we know, require practice. You can only get practice on a flight, for which you have to pass the test. This is why Marine MAN Ltd ® provides its ECDIS services-to save your time and achieve a brilliant result.
A seaman who is going to take ECDIS must not only understand the program interface perfectly, but also have sufficient knowledge in the field of classical navigation. Although the ECDIS Test is not considered difficult in itself, you will find a survey in English. In other words, to successfully pass the ECDIS test, you need to be well-versed in navigation topics, and speak English at a decent level. It is an unsatisfactory knowledge of the language that often lets down even experienced sailors, because the ECDIS interface is created in English, and all the test questions are written in it.
