General Preparation for Mandatory ECDIS 2 of 5
Necessary investment in onboard facilities
As part of the preparation you will also have to consider the back-up arrangement for ECDIS if you want to have your fleet operate without paper charts. Another possibility is to upgrade your bridge system to include additional functions made possible by ECDIS. The installation and operation of ECDIS has to be approved by the flag register.
The back-up arrangement can be either up-to-date paper chart folio covering the area of operation or an additional ECDIS. When using a back-up ECDIS, it is required to be mounted in the main bridge. By using single or dual ECDIS solution, you can benefit from the easy chart management and update as well as the increased safety provided by the ECDIS. Below you find a system diagram for dual ECDIS configuration that can facilitate paperless navigation
