Unfortunately, no reservations were found for the realization ECDIS (A-II/1, A-II/2) MK00DQ98-3005. It's possible that the reservations have not yet been published or that the realization is intended to be completed independently.
Objective
Knowledge and understanding of and proficiency in:
- use of the ECDIS to maintain safe navigation
- use of ECDIS and associated navigation systems in decision-making and management of operational procedures
Content
- ECDIS properties, capabilities, limitations and requirements
- use and properties of electronic charts (ENC)
- ability to operate, interpret and analyse information from ECDIS
- ECDIS as part of integrated navigation system
- management of operational procedures, system files and data in navigation, charts and route planning
- exercises and demonstrating competence in the simulator
The content is based on the IMO model course 1.27.
Evaluation
Students can
- use professional vocabulary and concepts in an expert way in different situations
- evaluate information sources critically
- choose appropriate models, methods, software and techniques according to the purpose and justify these choices
In addition, competence evaluation according to STCW code tables A-II/1 and A-II/2 columns 4 are used:
- monitors information on ECDIS in a manner that contributes to safe navigation
- information obtained from ECDIS (incl. radar overlay and/or radar tracking functions, when fitted) is correctly interpreted and analysed, taking into account the limitations of the equipment, all connected sensors (including radar and AIS where interfaced), and prevailing circumstances and conditions
- safety of navigation is maintained through adjustments made to the ship’s course and speed through ECDIS-controlled track-keeping functions (when fitted).
- communication is clear, concise and acknowledged at all times in a seamanlike manner
- operational procedures for using ECDIS are established, applied, and monitored
- actions taken to minimize risk to safety of navigation
