Kelvin Hughes has announced the introduction of
ECDIS4, its fourth generation ECDIS which is the latest
member of the MantaDigital multifunction workstation family,
allowing one display to function as an ECDIS, a radar or a conning
display .
Built-in scenarios allow operators to familiarise themselves
with the system in route planning and route monitoring operational
modes. The user interface is common to all modes, is very
straightforward to use and simplifies crew training.
ECDIS4 is also available as a software package which
allows full operation of the MantaDigital system in all its modes,
and can be run on any suitable laptop computer for training or
product familiarisation.
MantaDigital ECDIS4 is available with desk, pedestal,
flush and bridge wing mounting options and 20in and 26in screen
sizes, making it the perfect solution for all vessel types and
sizes. Latest features include the ability to show other
manufacturers' radar as an overlay and a full screen chart mode
together with sophisticated facilities to manage chart data and
updates.
Kelvin Hughes' data update service, ChartCo, manages chart
changes and updates and ensures they are Port State Authority
compliant. It transmits updates to ships via email, the internet or
broadcast bulletins and also provides weather forecasting and other
services for vessels at sea.
