Electronic Chart Display (ECDIS)

Based on IMO Model course 1.27, The ECDIS Training course is designed for all nautical Officer and other personnel with navigational responsibilities. Candidates attending the course should therefore have experience in performing chart work and should be able to practice all usual tasks concerning standard navigational procedures and equipment. Candidates should have a clear knowledge about the functions and limitations of other navigational equipment.

Based on the IMO 1.27 model, we have optimised our course so it fulfils the requirement whilst also covering additional subjects that we consider pertinent to safe ECDIS operation. This is in compliance with the requirements of A-II/1 of the STCW code.
