electronic sea charts and operates as the operator interface for the system. The ECDIS processor is connected to various sensors, and performs navigation calculations and route monitoring. Connections to interfaces are typically made with a LAN (Local Area Network) Adapter. The ECDIS processor can be used for both route planning and route monitoring. If required, there can be additional identical ECDIS EC1000C Workstation(s) connected to the same LAN to share the tasks of the ECDIS. If the system incorporates more than one ECDIS EC1000C Workstation, one or more workstation(s) can be used as an operator interface (with "full" usage rights) and one or more workstation(s) may be used as planning stations (usage rights as "planning"). If the system has two workstations connected together as multiple workstations, the system keeps data on the workstations harmonised and also tracks selections and settings made on any workstation. Typically there can be the following kinds of configurations of workstations: • Mode as Single, only one workstation is used in the system. • Mode as Multiple, two workstations are used in the system where usage rights and sensor source of workstations can be changed by the operator. For more information, see Chapter 18 Common Reference System. 1.2.1 Single workstation ECDIS Monitor MU-201CE (FEA-2107) or MU-231CE (FEA-2807) Conning Monitor MU-201CE or MU-231CE ECDIS PROCESSOR EC1000C Control Unit RCU-018 or Control Unit RCU-015 LAN-ADAPTER EC-1010 LAN-ADAPTER EC-1010 B-ADAPTER EC-1020 ARPA RADARS POSITION-FIXING EQUIPMENT TRACKPIL OT LOG/DUAL AXIS LOG AIS GYROCOMPASS POSITION-FIXING EQUIPMENT ENGINE CONTROL ECHOSOUNDER WIND SENSOR WATER TEMP.

In the multiple workstation configuration, there can be two workstations connected together by a Local Area Network (LAN). In this configuration, one workstation is used as the "sensor source" for navigation sensors and the other workstation is used as the sensor source workstation to communicate with sensors, receiving and transmitting data from/to workstation via the LAN. In the multiple workstation configuration where navigation sensors are connected to two workstations, the sensor source may be changed and still receive and transmit information from/to the system and to/from navigation sensors.

The processor unit is the heart of the system, responsible for the loading, storing, updating and processing of electronic sea charts, with the DVD-ROM drive or floppy disk drive. The DVD-ROM and floppy disk drives are behind the lid on the front panel. Floppy dIsk drive DVD-ROM drive 1.4 Turning the Power On/Off The system may be turned on by turning on the power switch at the rear of the processor unit then pressing the POWER switch on the Control Unit, until you feel a "click." At this time the equipment releases a beep. To turn off the system, reverse this sequence. Note: The amount of resources used increases over time, sometimes slowing down operation. If operation seems to be slow, re-set the power, when use of the equipment is not required; for example, when in port. 1.5 How to Find Version Number of ECDIS Software The ECDIS software version number is displayed in the information area, next to the scale factor. XX.XX XX.XX Version no. 1.6 Diagnostics The ECDIS has two types of diagnostic tests. One type (several tests) checks the functionality of the equipment and the other type calibrates the monitor. This manual provides only the instructions for testing the keyboard. For further details about diagnostic tests, see the service manual.

2.1 Overview Navigation tasks can be divided into four basic tasks: Navigation tasks Monitoring Steering Voyage planning Positioning Navigation tasks 2.2 Voyage Planning Voyage planning is the preparation phase for a coming voyage. Preparation includes route definition, route calculation and route optimisation. Required sea charts are also prepared in voyage planning, either by updating existing charts or creating new ones. Voyage Planning Route Calculation User Chart Planning Route Planning Chart Planning

2-2 2.2.1 Route planning A route can be created two ways: Modify an existing route to create a new route or create a new route from scratch. A route consists of the following: • Position of each waypoint • Safe water calculation based on safety limits • Turning instructions for each waypoint • Required steering accuracy for individual legs • Safety limits between waypoints (channel limits) • Speed restrictions for legs Information notebook: • Information pages to alert the operator to a given waypoint or a chosen area. • Automatic and/or manual notebook function to tell operator position-based information. Voyage optimisation parameters: See "voyage optimization" below. 2.2.2 Route calculation Route calculation for voyage planning includes the following: Route profile calculation: • Distance between consecutive waypoints • Total distance • Course between waypoints • Estimated time for voyage • Calculation of wheel over point Route check: • Grounding alarm based on available depth information in digital chart database. Voyage optimisation: • Timetable optimisation • Optimisation based on economical factors • The ECDIS processor calculates optimum speed and course between each waypoint, ETA and fuel consumption, based on the defined data. There are four calculation strategies: Max. Speed, Timetable, Lowest Cost and Best Profit. In case of Great Circle sailing between two waypoints, the ECDIS calculates minimum and maximum latitudes, and if needed adds an extra waypoint(s) so as not to exceed minimum and maximum latitudes. 2.2.3 Chart planning Chart planning consists of the following steps: 1. Load new S57 and ARCS charts. 2. Update existing S57 and ARCS charts. 3. Manage chart permits. 4. Manually update charts. 2.2.4 User chart planning User chart planning consists of the following steps: 1. Create operator navigation charts. 2. Process chart alarms based on symbols, lines and areas of user chart.

2-3 2.3 Positioning Positioning means using all available methods available to calculate and keep ship’s position up-to-date during a voyage. The calculation of ship’s position is based on available navigation sensors. The system integrates valid information from different sensors and uses the Kalman filter technology for final position calculation. Positioning Manual correction Direct positioning sensors Dead reck. equipment 2.3.1 Direct positioning sensors Radio navigation equipment: Satellitenavigation systems: • Decca navigator • GPS navigator • Loran-C navigator • GPS navigator with a differential correction, DGPS • SYLEDIS navigator • Local position-fixing systems 2.3.2 Dead reckoning equipment Ship’s heading measurement devices: Speed measuring devices: • Gyrocompass • Single-axis speed logs • Magnetic compass • Dual-axis speed logs • GPS gyrocompass • Radionavigation equipment • Satellitenavigation equipment 2.3.3 Manual correction User-executed position correction where radar echoes and information from synthetic charts are combined and verified by the operator, and adjusted if necessary.

2-4 2.4 Monitoring Monitoring is a continuous check of navigation data, operator actions and performance of the system. Part of the monitoring is also the display of electronic sea charts and conning information. Monitoring Data logging Data distribution Alarms Electronic sea chart Man overboard 2.4.1 Display of electronic sea chart The following information is available on the electronic sea chart: • Own ship position • Chart alarms • Planned track • ARPA targets • Planned safety lines • Chart information • Ship’s predictor (See the section Using the Predictor (section 28.13, 29.10, 30.11, according to Autopilot used) • AIS targets 2.4.2 Alarms The following alarms are incorporated: • Route monitoring alarms • Alarms for sensor failure • Position calculation alarms • Alarms for system failure • Position monitoring alarms • Alarms for incorrect operator action • Waypoint approach alarms • Alarm based on chart database 2.4.3 Man overboard Built-in man over board function records position at the time of man overboard. 2.4.4 Data logging The following information may be logged: • Past track history • Dangerous targets • Events • Voyage recording 2.4.5 Data distribution Data is distributed via the ECDIS’s computer system.

3.1 Overview The ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems) screen is divided into several areas. The Status bar, which is always shown at the top of the screen, mainly displays equipment status. The boxes at the right side of the screen comprise the Information areas. They are permanently displayed and show information such as your ship's position, alarms generated by the system, workstation mode and cursor position. The operator may display the data of his or her choice in one of the information areas called a Sidebar. (See section 3.3.2 Activating dialog boxes on the display.) The bottom block in the information area is the Mouse functions area, and it shows the current left mouse button, scrollwheel and right mouse button functions, in that order from left to right. 7/8 of the ECDIS display is taken up by the Electronic chart area.

3-2 3.2 Electronic Chart Area The ECDIS can use the following types of charts: • S57ed3 ENC charts (vector) • CM-93 charts (vector) • ARCS charts (raster) The following information can also be displayed: • Cursor (moved by trackball) • Planned route • EBL (Electronic Bearing Line) and VRM • Own ship symbol with speed vector • ARPA-acquired target • AIS targets 3.2.1 Electronic charts in ECDIS The electronic navigational charts are displayed in the electronic chart area. There are two kinds of electronic navigational charts available for use in the ECDIS: • S57ed3 ENC or CM-93 vector format • ARCS raster format Official paper charts may be replaced with S57ed3 ENC and ARCS charts. The operator should check the current situation in his or her flag country administration and if in doubt use the paper charts as the primary source of navigational information. The ECDIS combines chart and navigational information. It should be noted that modern navigation systems (e.g., differential GPS) may offer more accurate positioning than what was used to position some of the surveys from which the electronic navigational chart was derived. S57 vector format ECDIS is compatible with S57 release 3 ENC format charts. From this format, the ECDIS generates the "system ENC", = SENC, which is used for actual operations of the ECDIS. When you open a chart, it is displayed with the default scale, called the compilation scale. The details for the chart are displayed in the electronic chart area and these can be modified. You can change the chart scale with the ZOOM IN and ZOOM OUT functions, and the scale range is 1:1,000 - 1:50,000,000. CM-93 Compatibility with CM-93 format depends on commercial agreements. Some versions of this ECDIS are compatible and others are not. The compatibility is controlled by the security device called a dongle. From CM-93 format the ECDIS generates SENC, which is used for actual operations of the ECDIS. The difference between S57ed3 ENC charts and CM-93 charts is that the CM-93 charts are from a private source and they cannot be used as a substitute for paper charts under any condition. To emphasize this point these charts are called "Non-HO" charts in this manual.

They retain the same standards of accuracy, reliability and clarity as paper charts. Zooming into the ARCS chart can be useful for magnifying a complex detail, however this decreases the density of the data displayed, and can give a false impression of the distance from danger. Therefore, it is possible to zoom 2x the original paper chart's scale or ½ the original paper chart's scale.

3-4 3.3 User Interface The operator interface is defined as the areas which are not displaying the electronic chart, either raster chart or vector chart. The operator interface contains information about settings, parameters and selections used by the ECDIS. The nature of the information displayed can be either static (such as name of a certain window, fields in chart legend, units, etc.) or dynamic (such as position of your ship, time, operator selections, etc.). 3.3.1 Color palettes for the operator interface There are several color palettes available for choosing colors for the chart background and information areas. Setting Background color of chart Background color of information area Day Bright Light-blue White Day Blue Light-blue Dark-blue Dusk Blue Black Dusk Blue Blue Dark-blue Night Black Black With any palette selection except Day Bright, static text from dynamic text is shown in different colors to help you distinguish between them. For example, dynamic data like your ship's position, time or direct control of parameters (scale, predictor time, etc.) is shown in yellow color. To choose a color palette, do the following: 1. Set the cursor in the electronic chart area. 2. Spin the scrollwheel until Chart Display/Info/Standard Display is shown in the mouse functions area. 3. Push the left mouse button to open the Chart Display dialog box. 4. If the "Chart page" is not selected, click an arrow tab in the dialog box to display it. 5. Place the cursor on Palette. 6. Spin the scrollwheel to choose desired palette, referring to the table above, then push the scrollwheel. 7. Click the X at the top right corner of the dialog box to close the box. Note: The display colors may change to the Windows standard color palette whenever a USB memory device is inserted or removed. (When Windows initiates USB recognition procedures, the Windows stardard color palette is restored.) To restore the ECDIS color palette, open the Chart Display menu and do the procedure on this page.

3-5 Information area The information area displays details about your ship's position, course and speed and the cursor's location on the chart Information from the positioning sensors: • Latitude and longitude position of your ship • Datum in use (WGS 72, WGS 84, European 1950, etc.), which is shown above positioning source. • Positioning source: Dead Reckoning, GPS, DGPS, LORAN, FILTER, etc. • HDG reading and its source if it is not true gyro. • SPD water speed • SB, Transversal speed, positive value to Starboard • COG (Course over ground) and its source) • SOG (Speed over ground) • Range and bearing from your ship's position to cursor • Latitude and longitude position of cursor displayed in chosen datum. Note: The order of items in the position and cursor windows can change with the sidebar used. See the next page.

3-6 3.3.2 Sidebar on operator interface You may choose what kind of information to display in the sidebar (right side) of the ECDIS. The options shown below are available and the content of the sidebar windows change with the devices and sensors connected to the system. The route display or autopilot display is always displayed. You can display one of them together with the conning display, docking display or chart legend.

For more information about route selection, see section 14.2 Choosing Route to Monitor. spd profile If the text "Checked conditions differ" appears in the dialog box, this means that conditions chosen during route planning were different than those chosen for use during route monitoring. For further details on how to use checked conditions, see section 6.7.3 Confirming checking conditions of the route plan and section 6.7.4 Using planned user chart.

6-5 6.7.1 Choosing TO waypoint The system chooses a TO waypoint automatically. Check that it is the correct one. Note that waypoint number 1 is not accepted. Use the Monitor Route dialog box to choose a waypoint. 6.7.2 Choosing final waypoint This selection is used ONLY when the last waypoint should be different than the one defined last in your route. If needed use the Monitor Route dialog box to choose it. 6.7.3 Confirming checked conditions of the route plan You can check on the Alarms page if checked conditions in the Alarms page are used with the route in route monitoring. If the text "Current selection is different" is displayed, use Initial Settings>Chart Alarm parameters to make "Chart alarms" selections. Safety contours may be changed with the "Safety contour" field in the Display Settings. Select used condition during monitoring the same as planned. Differences between used and planned conditions are displayed with asterisks (*).

6-6 6.7.4 Using planned user chart To check if planned user chart is chosen, open the Selections page in the Monitor Route dialog box to check that you have the correct user chart in the monitoring mode. If the text "Current selection is different" is displayed, click the Use button to choose user chart as monitoring mode. If the text "This has been changed after Route Planning Check" is displayed, re-check your route against chart alarms.

6-7 6.7.5 Using planned pilot data To check if planned pilot data is chosen, open the Selections page in the Monitor Route dialog box to check that you have correct pilot data in the monitoring mode. If the text "Current selection is different" is displayed, click the Use button to choose pilot data as monitoring mode. The text "This has been changed after Route Planning Check" reminds you that pilot data has been modified after route planning check.

6-8 6.8 Verifying Configuration of Navigation Sensors The operator can choose navigation sensors for use in navigation and view their current values. There are "pages" for speed and course and position. The figure below shows the Speed/Course page. Checkbox status shows whether the sensor is used for integrated navigation or not. If there is no value shown for a sensor, it indicates that the sensor is not valid. Note that the content of these pages depends on the sensors that are in use on the ship. To display the Sensors dialog box, put the cursor on the position indication in the information area then push the right mouse button. ARPA Gyro 2 Rate gyro (calc.) 0.0 /min Gyro 1 6.8.1 Verifying source of navigation sensors In a multiple workstation environment, verify that the sensor sources indicated are the intended ones. This can be done on the Sensors dialog box. Verifying SPEED settings (Speed/Course page) Choose both Log and Dual log, if they are available, or choose one of them, on the Speed/Course page. Note that manual speed should only be used in an emergency, when no other speed reference is available. Remember that position sensors are also available as speed sources. If neither Log nor Dual log is available, you can use a radar as the source for speed and course. Verifying GYRO settings (Speed/Course page) Choose Gyro1 or Gyro2 on the Speed/Course page. Note that in the typical installation Gyro1 is connected to a traditional gyrocompass, while Gyro2 receives gyro value from either a Autopilot FAP-2000 or a DGPS sensor. Manual heading should only be used in an emergency, when no other heading source is available. A rate gyro is always automatically chosen.

6-9 Verifying position sensors (Posn page) On the Posn page of the Sensors dialog box, the data field of a position sensor contains a label(s) (in the figure at right it is DGPS, GPS+ZDA) which indicates the type of the sensor. Primary-Secondary- OFF indicates sensor status and priority. Position in local datum, speed and course are also shown. A DGPS position sensor also shows the text "Diff" if the differential signal is in use. Position sensors have priority, which is indicated by Primary and Secondary. Only one sensor can be primary while the others can be secondary or off position. After a sensor is turned off, its status is changed to Secondary state. When a position sensor state is changed to primary and another sensor was primary, the sensor formerly primary becomes secondary. Choose the "Primary" navigation sensor as the sensor that is considered to be most accurate and reliable. Set all other navigation sensors as "Secondary". Verifying Kalman filter (Posn page) The Kalman filter is an automatic process that will calculate the most probable position based on all position sensors. The filter uses in its process all sensors that are not chosen to OFF. For more information about the Kalman Filter, see section 19.7 Filter Operation. Verifying alignment (Posn page) The alignment is a correction given by the chart align function, and it is used to move the ship to the "correct" position. Normally turn this feature off in the start-up procedure. For more information about position alignment, see the section 19.8 Position Alignment.

Choose Reset then push the scrollwheel. 4. Choose Distance Counter or Trip Counter as appropriate then push the scrollwheel. Distance counter: Reset both Distance and Trip counters. Trip counter: Reset Trip counter. 5. An appropriate prompts asks you if you are sure to reset chosen counter. Click the OK button to reset. The prompt window disappears. 6.10 Verifying Datum Datum is used to choose between different models of the earth. It is essential that you use datum in a consistent way. If you use paper charts together with electronic chart material, it is recommended that you use the same datum as your current paper chart to avoid misalignment between your electronic chart system and points taken or plotted on your current paper chart. Once you have chosen a datum, all numerical latitude-longitude position values are presented in your chosen datum. To change the datum: 1. Choose the datum indication in the top box in the information area. 2. Spin the scrollwheel to choose appropriate datum, the one that matches your paper charts, then push the scrollwheel. Note: ARCS raster charts contain some rasterized position information, like scale bars on PA paper charts, which is true only if you have chosen native datum of that ARCS chart.

Replace Paper Charts 7.1 Introduction Carriage requirements for adequate and up-to-date charts for a voyage can be found in SOLAS Chapter V/20 of 1974. In resolution A.817(19), IMO has specified how those requirements can be fulfilled with a device called ECDIS. In resolution A.817(19), Appendix 7 (RCDS 1998), IMO has specified how requirements of the V/20 of 1974 can be fulfilled when an ECDIS uses the RCDS (Raster Chart Display System) mode. The traditional alternative way to fulfil requirements of the SOLAS chapter V/20 has been the use of paper charts. If you use the type-approved version of this ECDIS (BSH type approval certificate number 6579 / 080 138 / 99) you may replace paper charts with electronic ones. If the following conditions are met, then your system fulfils IMO A.817(19). • Own ship area is covered with updated ENC charts. • Your chosen display area is covered with updated ENC charts. • You have a backup system that fulfils IMO A.817 requirements. One example is a second ECDIS. Note that ENC producers provide their conditions of use in the Publisher Notes, which you should always read when loading new material into the ECDIS. For further details, see section 8.3.2 Loading S57 charts from a CD ROM, floppy disk or LAN. In areas where ENCs are not available, raster chart material called ARCS (from UK HO) can be used in the ARCS mode of this ECDIS, provided the following additional conditions are met: • Own ship area is covered with updated ARCS charts. • Your chosen display area is covered with up-to-date ARCS charts. • Appropriate folio of up-to-date paper chart is carried onboard and available, if required by your flag country administration.

7-2 Can your ECDIS replace paper charts You should use paper charts Is ECDIS type- approved according IEC 61174? Do you have type approved electronic back-up arrangement? (i.e. second ECDIS) Are official ENCs available for intended voyage? Have responsible Hydrographic Offices published official ENCs without any limitation for use? (i.e. you have not signed any limitation paper) Your system fulfills IMO resolution A.817(19) and thus fulfills SOLAS regulation V/20 to carry adequate and up-to-date charts for the intended voyage. Yes Yes Yes Yes No No No Have you included the latest updates into your ECDIS? Yes No No Go to flow chart RCDS, on the next page. Data flow chart for replacing paper chart with ENC chart material

7-3 RCDS (Raster Chart Display system) You should use paper charts Is ECDIS type approved according IEC 61174 including RCDS mode (Appendix 7)? Are Raster charts available for intended voyage? Have you included the latest updates into your ECDIS? Have you a minimum set of up-to-date paper charts for RCDS mode as specified by your flag country Administration? Your system fulfills IMO MSC Meeting 11 Dec 1998 requirements and thus fulfills SOLAS regulation V/20 to carry adequate and up-to-date charts for the intended voyage. Yes Yes Yes Yes No No No No Data flow chart for replacing paper chart with Raster chart material

7-4 7.2 Detecting ENC Coverage in S57 Chart Display The electronic chart system can display more than one S57 chart cell at a time. This feature is called multi-cell display. If one S57 chart cell does not cover the whole display, the system will open more S57 chart cells for display, if appropriate cells for the displayed area are available. The status bar shows information about S57 chart cells displayed on the electronic chart display area. When automatic TM reset is active, the information is displayed with reference to your ship's position. If TM reset is OFF, the information is displayed with reference to current cursor position. The possible indications are as follows: "RCDS mode" is shown in red text at the upper right-hand corner. This means that raster chart material is displayed on the electronic chart display area. " Non ENC data" is shown in red text at the upper right-hand corner. This means that the S57 chart shown is not official ENC material. " No indication" is shown at the upper right-hand corner: This means the S57 chart shown is official ENC material.

8.1 Introduction Theoretically a chart can be coded for use on a computer as raster or vector chart. Vector-coded charts are coded using a variety of techniques. One technique is called S57ed3 and it has been chosen by IMO as the only alternative for SOLAS compliant electronic charts. If an S57ed3-coded chart is published by a government-authorised Hydrographic Office, then it is called "ENC". If an S57ed3-coded chart is published by a private firm, then it is called "NON ENC". Another vector coding technique is known as CM-93/2, and it is employed by the private firm C-MAP. All CM-93/2 charts are NON ENC. For further details about C-MAP charts, see Appendix 4. You can read more about ENC and related legal issues in Chapter 7. Hereafter, all references to vector chart material are referred to as "S57 charts" regardless of their source. Sometimes you may wish to manually add Notices to Mariners or Navtex warnings into your S57 charts. This is called "manual updates". Manual updates are valid for both S57 and ARCS charts so you need to define them only once. Also, manual updates are valid for all scales so that you don't need to repeat them for charts published in different scales from the same area. For further details, see Chapter 10 Manual Updates. 8.2 S57 Charts 8.2.1 Introduction The electronic chart system is compatible with official IHO S57 release 3 chart material produced by Hydrographic Offices (HO). This material, when issued by a government-authorised Hydrographic Office, is called ENC (electronic navigational chart). Use, presentation and display of S57 charts are based on International Maritime Organisation (IMO), International Hydrographic Organisation (IHO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) regulations and rules (S52ed3.1). When this ECS (Electronic Charts system) uses an ENC (S57 release 3 chart produced by a government-authorised Hydrographic Office), it is an ECDIS as defined by IMO, IHO and IEC. An ENC could be encrypted to prevent unauthorised use so the operator needs a permit to view the ENC. This permit could be entered manually from the control unit, loaded from a floppy disk or loaded through telecommunications from an RENC. Before any ENC can be used in the ECDIS, it is loaded into your hard disk and converted into the system’s own internal format (SENC). Some parts of the charts may be date dependent, i.e., they are visible after a set date or they are visible only for a limited period, etc. In the electronic chart system, you control all date-dependent objects with Display Until and Approve Until dates. In the paper chart world, the Preliminary and Temporary Notices to Mariners represent the date dependency described above for S57 charts. An important part of ENCs are the updates. Hydrographic Offices can issue two kinds of updates: • Incremental updates, which are small additions to original Base cells. • Reissues and new editions, which are complete replacements of previous Base cells and their updates. All updates are date stamped and they may also contain date-dependent parts. You control usage of updates in the electronic chart system from Display Until and Approve Until dates. Using Display Until and Approve Until dates, you can view your charts correctly drawn on any date in the past or in the future. Chart material is stored in media such as CD ROMs and floppies, electronically through telecommunications from RENCs or electronically from LAN (Local Area Network) in which it could have arrived from RENCs, CD ROMs or floppies. Such material can contain only basic cells, cells and updates or only updates. The electronic chart system contains as standard the software required to access CD ROMs, floppies and LAN. A telecommunications package to establish a connection to an RENC in Stavanger, Norway, which operates using the marketing name PRIMAR, is optionally available.

8-2 Each S57 chart may contain additional links to textual descriptions or pictures, besides the chart itself. Typically additional textual descriptions and pictures contain important sailing directions, tidal tables and other traditional paper chart features that do not have any other method to be included into the S57 chart. This ECDIS copies these textual descriptions and pictures into its hard disk so the operator may cursor-pick them for viewing purposes. For how to interpret the S57 ENC chart display, see Appendix 2. Definitions of terms Cell A cell is a geographical area containing ENC data. Each cell has a separate unique name. Hydrographic Offices divide their responsibility area by the cells that they publish. S57 chart A database, standardized as to content, structure and format, is issued for use with ECDIS without any authority of government-authorized Hydrographic Office. The difference of S57 chart and ENC is that non-ENC charts require complete up-to-date paper charts to be used as the primary aid to navigation. ENC A database, standardized as to content, structure and format, is issued for use with ECDIS on the authority of government-authorized Hydrographic Offices. The ENC contains all the chart information necessary for safe navigation and may contain supplementary information in addition to that contained in the paper chart (e.g., sailing directions) that may be considered necessary for safe navigation. The name of the coding standard for ENC is S57ed3. SENC A database resulting from the transformation of the ENC by ECDIS for appropriate use, updates to the ENC by appropriate means, and other data added by the mariner. It is this database that is actually accessed by the ECDIS for display and other navigational functions, and is the equivalent to an up-to-date paper chart. The SENC may also contain information from other sources. RENC A service provider offering ENC delivery and update service as defined in IHO standard S52e3. Often an RENC provides both CD ROM and telecommunications-based service to ECDIS operators. One example of an RENC is an RENC in Stavanger, Norway, operating under the marketing name PRIMAR.

8-3 8.2.2 Chart legend of S57 chart The chart legend, which provides various data about the chart currently displayed, can be toggled on and off by placing the cursor in the sidebar, clicking the right mouse button, choosing Chart Legend from the menu then pushing the scrollwheel. This system is capable of showing more than one S57 chart at a time. This feature is called the multi-chart display. If one S57 chart does not cover the whole display, the system will open more S57 chart cells for display, if appropriate cells for the displayed area are available. The chart legend shows information about S57 charts displayed on the electronic chart display area. The information is displayed with reference to your ship's position if automatic TM reset is active, or with reference to the current position of the cursor if automatic TM Reset is OFF. Cell name: Name of chart. Navigational purpose: S57 charts are compiled for a variety of navigational purposes. The navigational purpose, for which an individual S57 chart has been compiled by a Hydrographic Office, is indicated in this field. Alternatives are: Overview, General, Coastal, Approach, Harbour and Berthing. Issue date: Issue date of the Base cell of the chart. Edition number: Edition number of the chart. Last displayed update: Number of last update, which is visible on the chart screen. Update issue date: Issue date of last update, which is visible on the chart screen Last update appl. date: Date to which the last update, which is visible on the chart screen, is effective. Projection: Projection of the chart. The projection is always Mercator. Horizontal datum: Horizontal datum of the chart data as published by the chart producer. By definition this must be WGS 84. Vertical datum: Vertical datum of the chart. Sounding datum: Datum used for soundings. Quality of data: Quantitative estimate of the accuracy of chart features, given by the chart producer.

8-4 Magnetic var.: Amount of magnetic variation. A positive value indicates a change in an easterly direction and a negative value indicates a change in a westerly direction. Depth: Unit of measurement for depth. Height: Unit of measurement for height above sea level (for example, clearance height). 8.2.3 Permanent warnings of S57 charts Permanent warnings help you keep the S57 charts up-to-date and these are shown at the top left corner on the screen. Only up-to-date S57 charts can be legal replacement for paper charts. Permanent warnings appear if the system detects a condition that may cause the use of charts that are not up-to-date. Note: The system can assist in keeping RENC-received charts up-to-date. For charts that have been loaded from sources other than an RENC, the system is unable to know the exact up-to-date situation. For further details see section 8.12 Chart Viewing Dates and Seasonal Features of the Vector Chart. You have loaded updates into your hard disk, but these updates are not included in the SENC. The name of the chart appears in orange in the chart catalogue. Perform SENC conversion for these charts. For SENC conversion, see section 8.4.6 Using SENC convert window to initiate SENC conversion. For further details, see section 8.7.3 Knowing up-to- date status of an RENC product list. You have loaded an update that contained cancel information for a chart, and you have chosen not to remove the cancelled chart. This permanent indication reminds you about your intended use of a cancelled chart. Consider removing the chart. For information on how to remove S57 charts, see section 8.5.5 Removing an S57 chart cell from the system.

8-7 8.3.2 Loading S57 charts from a CD ROM, floppy disk or LAN When you load S57 charts by CD ROM catalogue, the system first loads a CD ROM catalogue, which stores certain information into your hard disk such as cell IDs, their position, and edition number, from your LAN (Local Area Network) connection, floppy disk or CD ROM. Then, the system asks which charts you want to load from the chosen media. After building the CD ROM catalogue, you can view the contents of it using the Chart Catalogue command in the Chart menu. Note: All CD ROMs, floppies or LAN (Local Area Network) connections from one single National Hydrographic Office have the same names although their contents could be totally different. You can use your own unique names to identify them separately and correctly later. To load by CD ROM catalogue, do the following: 1. Insert CD ROM or floppy disk to drive. Spin the scrollwheel to show Menu/Info/Chart Menu in the mouse functions area then push the right mouse button. 2. Choose "Load and Update Charts" from the menu and "from CD ROM" from the sub menu (see bottom figure at left). The default load source is from CD ROM. Click the Load button to load from a CD ROM. 3. If you want to load from another media, open the menu with no CD-ROM in the drive. Click the Browse button to choose a new directory. • The ECDIS loads content summary and Product List from the CD ROM then opens the Load or Update Charts from CD ROM dialog box. • The system automatically copies all text and pictures files associated with charts from the CD ROM catalogue. The system keeps only the latest version of these. If your system already has newer text or pictures in use, you will get the notice below.

Messages which control reload If you try to load charts with the same edition already loaded into your hard disk or if you try to load the same update already loaded into your hard disk, you get the following messages after clicking the Load button. If you want to avoid the very time consuming task of reloading charts which you already have, then you should choose the "No for all" option in the above window However if you want to reload charts, then choose the "Yes for all" option in above window).

8-14 Messages which contain only notice If you tried to load chart data that is older than you already have in your hard disk, you will get one of the following messages: This indicates that you are using a newer edition of the chart mentioned in the box. This indicates that you are using a newer reissue of the chart mentioned in the box, which includes this update. . This indicates that you are using a newer reissue of the chart mentioned in the box. . This indicates that you are using the updates mentioned in the box. . Note: You cannot replace chart data that is already in use unless you only replace the latest Base cell or update. If you want to reload older data again, you must first remove the chart from your hard disk. For further details, see section 8.5.5 Removing an S57 chart cell from the system. Messages that require careful attention All messages in this chapter change the legal status of the charts in your system. Study these messages very carefully because you may need to use paper charts to fulfil SOLAS requirements. Test before ENC to SENC conversion fails CRC checksum is tested before the SENC conversion and if it fails you get this message. Conversion from ENC to SENC fails partly Conversion failed partly due to internal booking error of the chart. Load the chart and updates again into the system.

8-15 ENC to SENC conversion fails or detects errors If the SENC conversions detect anything abnormal, you get the following message window: For further details, see section 8.4 S57 SENC Conversion Details. A new edition of the chart has been published and you missed it If you tried to load updates for a chart for which you do not have new enough Base cell or reissue in your hard disk, you will get following message: The message above clearly indicates that this chart is not up-to-date and thus it does not fulfil SOLAS requirements. Get the latest edition of the chart from the publisher immediately. You do not have all the published updates If you tried to load updates and you missed one or more updates between updates already loaded into your hard disk and the updates that you are loading, then you get following message: The message above indicates that you tried to load update numbers 3, 4 and 5 when at least update 2 and possibly update 1 were not available in your hard disk. Check the content of your CD ROMs to find the missing update/updates or contact your chart supplier. The message above clearly indicates that this chart is not up-to-date and thus it does not fulfil SOLAS requirements. Get the latest edition of the chart from the publisher immediately. Unsafe chart has been cancelled by the publisher If you load an update that contains instructions from the publisher to cancel the chart, you get following message: Normally, you should accept the cancellation by clicking the Yes button. Then the system automatically removes the chart from the hard disk and from your chart screen. You may elect to keep the chart although the publisher of it has told you that the content of the chart is so unsafe that they have cancelled it. The reason might be that you do not have anything better available. In this case, click the No button. Then the system automatically removes the ENC status from the chart, because the publisher has told so in his special cancellation update. Note that the cancellation message above clearly indicates that the publisher says that this chart is unsafe for navigation and thus it does not fulfil SOLAS requirements. Get the latest edition of the chart from the publisher immediately to replace the unsafe cancelled chart.

8-16 8.3.3 Loading S57 charts that are not fully compliant with the IMO standards The ECDIS could in some cases load S57 charts that do not have full compliance with S57 standard coding for transfer media. Minimum requirements for loading manually is legally coded: • XXXXXXXX.000 file, which includes a Base cell. • XXXXXXXX.NNN file, in which NNN is a number from 001 to 999, and which includes an update. To load charts without building a named "CD ROM catalogue" do the following: 1. Spin the scrollwheel to display Menu/Info/Chart Menu in the mouse functions area then push the right mouse button. Choose Load and Update Charts from the menu and Manual from the sub menu. Then, choose desired drive and charts. 2. When you are ready to load charts, click the Load Chart button. The system may also make conversion into the SENC and setting of Display Until date automatically if you have set up for them. This can take a few minutes.

8-17 8.4 S57 SENC Conversion Details S57 charts from Hydrographic Offices are called ENCs. An ENC has to be converted into SENC format before it can be used in the ECDIS. The ECDIS can convert ENC into SENC format automatically. If the conversion is successful, the Failed SENC conversion window does not appear. If the system fails to convert ENC into SENC or if the system detects a coding error in an ENC, the Failed SENC conversion window appears with a list of failed ENCs. In this window you can choose any of the charts to see the reason for failure in conversion. Normally the conversion is initiated automatically when a chart is loaded. Paragraph 8.3 "Loading S57 Charts" describes the loading process. Paragraph 8.4.2 describes how to choose automatic conversion. You can also initiate conversion from The SENC Convert window or from a cell status window. Note: SENC conversion must be done in the single-workstation mode. Switch to single-workstation mode before converting, following the procedure below. This procedure should also be followed when converting C-MAP Ed.2 charts to SENC format. 1. Multi-workstation mode to single-workstation mode conversion (1) Operating procedure at workstation designated as sensor source - Right-click "MULTI" at the bottom of the information area to show the Initial Settings dialog box. - Check "Usage rights" and change Multi(slave) to Master. - Check "Mode" and change Multi workstation to Single workstation. (2) Operating procedure at other workstation(s) - Right-click "MULTI" at the bottom of the information area to show the Initial Settings dialog box. - Check "Usage rights" and change Multi(slave) to Master. - Check "Mode" and change Multi workstation to Single workstation. 2. Turning off radar overlay (do for all workstations) - Left-click "Radar" on the status bar to show the Radar Overlay dialog box. - In the Mode box, change "ECDIS and Radar" to "ECDIS only". 8.4.1 Speeding up SENC conversion The SENC conversion speed depends about how many other tasks the system is occupied with. The system can conduct SENC conversion in the background during any other system operations, but you can greatly lessen the time for SENC conversion by doing the following: 1. Disable radar overlay by choosing radar overlay mode as "ECDIS only". a) Click Radar on the status bar with the left mouse button to show the Radar Overlay window. b) Choose "ECDIS only" then push the scrollwheel. 2. Choose control of visible navigation features as "Off" for radar overlay. a) Roll the scrollwheel to display Chart Display/Info/Standard Display in the mouse functions area then push the left mouse button. b) Click the right arrow tab to display the Standard page. c) Uncheck Radar. d) Click the X at the top right corner of the window to close the window. 3. Choose display mode (upper left corner on the status bar) as True Motion. 4. Spin the scrollwheel to display Set Chart Center/Info/Active Scroll in the mouse functions area then push the left mouse button. Set chart center so ship is off the screen or TM reset is OFF. 5. Set the scale to 1:1,000 by displaying Range+/ /Range- in the mouse functions area and pushing the appropriate mouse button to display 1:1,000.

8-18 8.4.2 Choosing automatic SENC conversion and display until date When you are loading new S57 charts Base cells and/or their updates into your hard disk, they can be automatically converted to SENC format. Further, display dates can be set as issue dates automatically. Do the following to set these options: 1. Spin the scrollwheel to display Menu/Info/Chart Menu in the mouse function area then push the right mouse button. 2. Choose SENC Convert Settings from the menu then push the scrollwheel. The SENC Convert Settings dialog box appears: 3. Check Automatic SENC conversion and Automatic Display Until. 4. Click the X at the top of the dialog box to close the box.

8-19 8.4.3 Viewing progress of SENC conversion If you want to view the progress of SENC conversion, display the SENC Convert window as follows: 1. Spin the scrollwheel to display Menu/Info/Chart Menu in the mouse functions area then push the right mouse button. 2. Choose SENC Convert from the menu then push the scrollwheel to show the SENC Convert window. The example above shows a queue of unfinished SENC conversions. Note: You can remove charts from the conversion list at any time. Use the cursor to highlight desired amount of chart names in the Conversion List. Then, click the Cancel Conv. button to remove those charts from the SENC conversion queue. The example above shows that all SENC conversions have been finished. Then, you can see CD ROM history by clicking the CD History button. You can view the results of loaded charts from a CD-ROM by clicking the Conv. History button, or you can view the results of the finished SENC conversions by clicking Load and Conv. History button.

8-20 8.4.4 Using the failed SENC conversion window If the system is unable to convert ENC into SENC without any error or failure, the Failed SENC conversion window appears with a list of failed ENCs. Status of Failure means that the system completely failed to convert the ENC into the SENC and thus the ENC cannot be used. Status of Errors means that the system detected minor or major errors in the conversion of the ENC into the SENC. Check the content of Conv. History and cell status to see if the error was minor or major. Major errors are indicated as NON ENC in Conv. History. Note that the status of errors together with NON ENC in Conv History clearly indicate that this chart is not up-to-date and thus it does not fulfil SOLAS requirements. Get the latest edition of this chart from the publisher immediately. "Failed" means that the system completely failed to convert the ENC into the SENC and thus the ENC cannot be used. Failure clearly indicates that this chart is not up-to-date and thus it does not fulfil SOLAS requirements. Get the latest edition of this chart from the publisher immediately. The Failed SENC conversion window contains two buttons. Conv. History opens the conversion history log and Cell Status opens the window of chosen item in the list of Failed SENC conversions window. The Conv. History button is used to display the conversion log. The conversion log shows the status of converted ENCs. For further details about the results of conversions, see section 8.4.5 Using SENC conversion history log. Click the Cell Status button, and a Cell Status window appears. Then you can click the Conv Log button to view a detailed description of errors and failures detected during SENC conversion (see example below).

8-21 8.4.5 Using SENC conversion history log The system automatically records the results of all conversions into the conversion history log. You can view the content of this log at any time by doing the following: 1. Spin the scrollwheel to display Menu/Info/Chart Menu in the mouse functions area then push the right mouse button. 2. Choose SENC Convert from the menu then push the scrollwheel to show the SENC Convert window. 3. After conversion (Conversion list is empty), click the Conv. History button. Note: You can also activate the Conv. History from the "Failed SENC conversions" window. A list of converted charts appears. You can view the status of converted charts on the list, and also source if it is available. 4. Click the X at top right corner to close the window. Below are examples of all possible results of conversion: Perfect chart Successful auto. conv: ENC: GB203000.000, edt: 1, upd: 0 / 1999 4 3 Perfect chart that is produced by a private chart producer (i.e., chart doesn't have ENC status) A private chart cannot fulfil SOLAS requirements and you must refer to a paper chart as legal primary aid of navigation, when you navigate in the area covered by this chart. Successful auto. conv: ENC: AS31MATT.000, edt: 1, upd: 0 / 1999 4 8 NON ENC Conversion errors, but the chart is partly usable Use cell status to check details of errors.

Failed automatic conversion: ENC: GB5X01SW.002, edt: 1, upd: 2 / 2005 1 1 CHECKSUM ERROR Failed conversion. At least one of the previous updates has failed in its SENC conversion The system cannot accept additional updates unless all previous updates have been successfully converted into the SENC. Chart is partly usable, but it is not up-to-date. Try to reload the failed previous update from the original media (in this example the failed previous update is GB5X01SW.002). And if that doesn't work, order a new CD ROM from your chart supplier. Note that the chart is still ENC, but it no longer fulfils the SOLAS requirement. You must refer to a paper chart as legal primary aid of navigation, when you navigate in the area covered by this chart. Failed automatic conversion: ENC: GB5X01SW.003, edt: 1, upd: 3 / 2005 9 8 PREVIOUS Update MISSING Failed conversion. The Base cell has failed in its SENC conversion The system cannot accept updates unless the Base cell has been successfully converted into the SENC. Chart is not usable and you cannot view it. Try to reload the Base cell from the original media (in this example the failed Base cell is GB5X01SW.000). And if that doesn't work, order a new CD ROM from your chart supplier. You must refer to a paper chart as legal primary aid of navigation, when you navigate in the area covered by this chart. Failed automatic conversion: ENC: GB5X01SW.001, edt: 1, upd: 1 / 1998 9 8 PREVIOUS Base CELL OR Update MISSING NOTE: Always study both the "Failed SENC conversion" dialog and "Conversion history log" very carefully, because they contain important information about the legal status of the charts. Specially note that a chart may lose its legal status to fulfil SOLAS requirements and you may need to refer to a paper chart as legal primary aid of navigation.

8-23 8.4.6 Using SENC convert window to initiate SENC conversion Normally automatic SENC conversion is chosen and there is no need to initiate SENC conversions from the SENC convert window. If you do not use the automatic SENC conversion, you need to manually initiate SENC conversion. Another case where you need to manually initiate SENC conversion is if you upgraded or reloaded the ECDIS software from the ECDIS software CD ROM. To initiate SENC conversions manually, do the following: 1. Spin the scrollwheel to display Menu/Info/Chart Menu in the mouse functions area then push the right mouse button. 2. Choose SENC Convert from the menu and push the scrollwheel. The SENC Convert window appears: 3. Use the Cells button to choose an individual chart or use the Groups button to choose a group of charts. 4. Click the Convert button to initiate the SENC conversion of the charts. Note that Convert only converts those charts that are not currently converted into the SENC format. If your chosen chart or all members of your chosen group are already in the SENC format, the Conversion list remains empty. If all or some charts are not yet in the SENC format, they are added to the Conversion list (see the example below).

Edit Group: For further details, see section 8.5.3 Grouping S57 chart cells. 5. The chart limit boxes are color-coded as follows: Green The chart is available for use in SENC format. If the source of the chart is an RENC then the chart is also up-to-date. If the source of the chart is something other than an RENC, then all loaded updates are included into the SENC. Orange The chart is available for use in SENC format but the chart is either not up-to-date or has been cancelled. Either the SENC is from a former edition, the SENC is missing the latest updates or the chart has been cancelled. Red If the chart is permit free, you do not have it available for use in SENC format and thus you cannot use the chart currently. The chart requires a permit but you do not have the permit for the chart therefore you cannot use the chart currently. Blue The chart is available either in ENC format, in SENC format for another software version or in SENC format for another ECDIS. For example, the chart is blue during SENC conversion and when you loaded a chart into the ECDIS and the system could not convert the chart into SENC format. Magenta You have a permit to use the chart, but the chart is not available in SENC format and thus you cannot use the chart currently.

8-28 8.5.3 Grouping S57 chart cells You can define groups of S57 charts. This means you can collect related charts, for example, all cells that cover a route from Liverpool to New York or all cells available from a National Hydrographic Office.
