The maritime industry faces an urgent challenge – incidents caused by misuse of the vessel’s Electronic Chart Display and Information System – or ECDIS. Although ECDIS is considered to be an excellent navigational aid, there’s a concern across the shipping industry that the required operational training for its safe implementation may be insufficient – leading to misuse, misunderstanding and onboard navigational errors that can lead to serious incidents with severe consequences. Because these incidents are often filed as grounding or even cargo claims, the full extent of the problem can easily slip under the radar.

To ensure watchkeeping officers’ ECDIS skills are the best they can be, we’ve created a ground-breaking, targeted ECDIS training assessment (ETA) with the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO). Designed to help crewmembers’ continual professional development and enhance ECDIS use, our high-level, targeted training aid covers the four pillars of passage planning – Appraisal, Planning, Execution, and Monitoring.

In an era marked by unprecedented advances in maritime technology, we firmly believe that embracing and integrating new technology is no longer a choice, but a necessity to secure a safer and more resilient future for the shipping industry. This is why we have chosen to collaborate with ShipIn Systems, the developer of the world’s first visual fleet management platform, FleetVision™. 

Our Get SET! suite of pioneering Safety & Efficiency Technologies ensures our ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional service and bringing cutting-edge technologies to the maritime market. Our latest collaboration helps unlock ship-to-shore collaboration for global maritime fleets with AI-powered maritime CCTV and visual analytics.

Designed to support members, their crews, and assets, in recognition of the platform’s benefits for ship safety, operational effectiveness and loss prevention.
