ECDIS- On the Way to Cost Savings and Safer Navigation

Retention of Crew
The greatest challenge today for a ship owner/manager is to find and retain quality manpower on board vessels. To change the image of shipping from a low technology industry to a high technology industry and thus to motivate young talent to consider shipping as a career option, electronic navigation can play a great role. Given the choice, a young navigating officer today will definitely opt for an ECDIS equipped vessel. Of all the factors responsible for human error the main factor during a survey has been stated as ‘fatigue’. With the use of ECDIS, the navigation planning and chart correction related workload is reduced by as much as 60%.
