‘Norske Veritas have stated that the frequency of ships groundings could be reduced by 40% through the use of ECDIS. An American study claims that 90% of ships groundings can be attributed to navigation failures and that 70% of these could be avoided through the use of ECDIS.

In other words we are talking of, possibly, the greatest revolution within navigation since the introduction of radar after the second world war’

Given the global domination of computer technologies and the fact that most of our planets daily life is now administered using computers, it is hardly surprising that the marine industry is now, finally, facing its own computerised future. Renowned for its conservatism and slow to accept and adopt new technologies, the Marine Industry has, over time, come to terms with the realities of that new technology. From the inception of radar in the 1940’s and 50’s, through the advent of Loran and Decca to the global adoption of GPS, mariners have, on occasion somewhat reluctantly, adapted with and to the demands of technological advances. The latest and potentially the greatest of these advances is undoubtedly ECDIS!

NO ONE!
