X – Display and functions of other navigational information (NavMaster)

ECDIS is being use in combination of other navigational equipments or


ECDIS is a part of an integrated navigational system, thus it is important to
understand the advantages and disadvantages of using ECDIS in order to
avoid any risk.

Out from RADAR overlay the following items might occur:


 A difference in the matching of two displays as a whole (which may be due
to an error in the primary position-fixing system)

 A displacement of individual objects (which may be due to displacement of


a buoy

 A mismatch of vectors (over ground versus through the water)

 Dynamic display of vessel

 Accurate position

State disadvantages of ECDIS such as:

 ECDIS if used by untrained/unqualified personnel pose a threat to


own ship and crew as well as to other ships and environment.

 The complexity poses a threat in itself and far more attention and
resources have to be put the HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE (HMI)
field in order to make the system more usable for the navigator.
