Step 9. Start now!

There is a lot to do so don't wait for the deadline. Arranging training and acquiring certification can take three months but you might need as much as six months to implement your strategy depending on whether the vessel is a newbuild or retrofit.

 

The sooner the strategy is adopted, the sooner you will have a realistic expectation of costs and issues. If your ship is affected by the first phase adoption in 2012, you should start planning now.

 

Start now
• Start now to allow time for a smooth transition
• Revising Safety Management
Procedures is one of the most time consuming tasks. Make an early start

4-level ECDIS Concept

The Transas Marine 4-level ECDIS concept is designed to provide an IMO compliant solution for the shipping companies. The range of product packages Standard, Standard+, Premium and Premium+, features Transas Navi-Sailor software applied through all systems. All packages include selected standard features with an extensive range of additional options.

 

Anders Rydlinger, Transas Marine Product Development Director says the objective is to provide a solution to the market where a "Standard" system features the best available quality and at the same time is user-friendly and cost-efficient. On another side, there are shipping companies preferring to utilise a comprehensive technology going beyond IMO requirements. This 4-level concept is developed to cover all market requirements.
