TOTEM ECDIS is a fully approved ECDIS by Totem Plus that in many
respects is revolutionary. Known for its intuitive and easy
operation, TOTEM ECDIS comes with numerous benefits and new
features. As well as offering Dynamic Chart Licensing (pay ONLY for
charts you use), an important feature is the ability to receive and
send messages via AIS. Another innovative feature is the COLREGS
ADVISER, a collision avoidance decision support tool. The COLREGS
ADVISER analyses the position, course and speed of all the ships in
the vicinity, and advises the Master or OOW on the best course to
take in order to avoid collision in accordance with the legal
requirements of the International Regulations for Preventing
Collisions at Sea 1972 (COLREGS).
