ECDIS has been shown to contribute significantly to safety of
life at sea, but it can also increase operational efficiency that
in turn can lead to bottom line savings. Navigators and
superintendents regularly report a steady flow of benefits from
using ECDIS. Updates to chart data can be virtually instant.
Navigation tasks and bridge workload can be optimized, situational
awareness improved and stress reduced when navigating in congested
waters where most accidents occur.
ECDIS also offers data reporting and auditing tools that can
eliminate redundant practices and improve voyage planning,
delivering tangible fuel savings. Early adopters will be the ones
that see the advantages soonest.
