SIMRAD ECDIS in e-Navigation Centre
UK-based ECDIS Ltd have signed of an agreement with Simrad, to
provide flag-state approved training on Simrad's CS68 ECDIS
software. The agreement has seen the installation of a Simrad
terminal in ECDIS Ltd's e-Navigation Centre, as well as the ability
to provide mobile generic and type specific training on Simrad
ECDIS software. The two companies are also looking at plans to open
a new dedicated Simrad ECDIS training facility in the Netherlands,
later this year.
Simrad's CS68 is recognised as one of the most reliable ECDIS in
the world. Having been designed to withstand the roughest
conditions at sea, it features a shock-mounted central processing
unit and a choice of input devices. It is the only type-approved
ECDIS that runs on 24VDC, which combined with its competitive
pricing, makes it ideally suited to for all vessel types. The
system also features a voice alarm system, which provides the
operator with specific warnings distinguishable from other bridge
alarms, rather than the generic buzzer found on other systems.
The SIMRAD ECDIS suite takes its place in the e-Navigation
Centre.
