ECDIS

ECDIS, or Electronic Chart Display and Information System, is a digital navigation tool used on ships. It displays electronic maps and vital navigation information, helping mariners to plot and monitor a vessel’s position accurately. By integrating GPS data, radar, and other sensors, ECDIS improves navigation safety, efficiency, and situational awareness. It replaces traditional paper charts, offering real-time updates and easier route planning. Used correctly, ECDIS enhances maritime safety by reducing the risk of grounding or collisions, making navigation more precise and reliable in various sea conditions.
