2-Elements of ECDIS Cont PDF

The document discusses elements of ECDIS simulator training including vessel position, understanding chart data formats and types, chart quality and accuracy, and chart organization. It covers reviewing vessel position interface methods and symbols, examining position information, and determining fixes. It defines vector and raster chart data formats, explains the difference between them and ENC to SENC conversion. It also addresses chart updating methods, tracking manual updates, and factors that influence chart data accuracy like surveying and shifting hazards. Finally, it discusses organizing electronic charts, loading chart data automatically or manually, and the differences between chart cells and layers.

ECDIS Simulator Course (Operation Level)

Elements Of ECDIS
(cont.)

Capt. Eslam Mostafa


Integrated Simulator Complex
1-Vessel Position

• Review interface methods.

a) Mouse , trackball and device buttons.


b) keyboard and hotkeys
c) use of ERBL on the display

• Review display of vessel’s position.

a) shift the vessel on the display


b) vessel’s symbols
c) vessel’s motion vectors
• Examine position information in the display
panels.

a) Current, tidal height, sounding


b) route & vessels position
c) position relative to next WP as per route schedule

• Determine a position fix on the ECDIS chart


display panel.

a) manually draw and move bearing lines (LOPs)


b) Manually mark position on the display
2-Understanding chart data
• ECDIS :
A navigation information system which , with
adequate back up arrangements , can be accepted as
complying with the up-to-date chart required by V/19 &
V/27 SOLAS 1974.

• ECS : specified in ISO 19379 as follows:


A Navigation information system that
electronically displays vessel position and relevant
nautical chart data and information from an ECS
database on a display screen , but doesn’t meet all the
IMO requirements for ECDIS and id not intended to
satisfy the SOLAS requirements.
Vector & Raster
Charts Data Formats

A vector chart is a digital database of all


objects (points, lines, depths, areas etc.)
represented in several layers on a chart
Difference between Vector & Raster
Graphics
Vector and Raster Charts
ENC-to-SENC

The ECDIS converts each ENC from S57 ENC


format into an internal format called SENC, a
process to optimize chart display. SENC
delivery is an alternative method to the
standard distribution and use of official ENC
data. Users are able to directly receive SENC, a
conversion which otherwise would have to
happen inside the ECDIS.
Types of Updates

Automatic Method

Semi Automatic method

Manual Method
Manual Update
• What is manual update sources ?

• How manual up date look like ?

• Updating is made by means of a special graphic editor


capable of creating & editing objects on the active
user charts whose display is superimposed on the
electronic chart without clearing the latter.

• So you can insert an object but what about deleting ?

• How can I track the previous manual updates ?


• Only information stored as objects with
corresponding to database will be
displayed. (SENC)

• Charts data selected for display.


3-Chart quality & accuracy

• Chart data accuracy depends on :


- Survey &hydrographic data.
- Shifting of buoys.
- Coverage & completeness of data.

• ECDIS problems with different datum's :


- different systems for positioning .
- different geodetic coordinates systems.

• The important of having your ENC up to date


for safe navigation.
• Dealing with the computer monitor displays
4- Chart Organization
• Before charts was folios in drawers now how can I
organize my electronic charts
( missing cells , update & new base )

• Loading of ECDIS data :

- Automatically from available chart data for vessel’s


position or cursor location.
- Manually by cell name from directory.

- How the Vector cells are named ?

• What is the difference between cells & layers ?
