ECDIS: Implementation Challenges Capt. Tarun K. Mathur, TRANSAS
ECDIS: Implementation Challenges
ECDIS Implementation – When?
ECDIS Training
Paperless Navigation
As identified by customers, the main reasons for their switching onto ECDIS include:
Reduced risk of accidents Lowering ship’s running costs Automation of routine navigation tasks Access to additional information resources New technology on the ship’s bridge Path to future upgrades and paperless navigation
Why to take ECDIS onboard?
ECDIS Implementation – When?
The main reasons to switch onto ECDIS: Besides that it might be a legal enforcement
1. Enhanced Safety: Ship and environment.
2. Enhanced Earnings: Lowering
ship’s running costs.
3. Enhanced efficiency.
Reduced risk of accidents DNV Report 2007-0304 Previous FSA studies on ECDIS reported to IMO
ECDIS is a cost effective risk control option for large passenger ships, with a significant potential to save lives by reducing the frequency of collision and grounding. ECDIS is a cost effective risk control option for all other vessel types engaged in international trade, with the exception of the smallest vessels. The potential for saving lives is small for cargo ships, but ECDIS represents a net economic benefit in itself.
Enhanced Safety - Ship and Environment
Case Study: MT Exxon Valdez - Grounding
On March 23, 1989, at 9:12 pm the oil tanker
Exxon Valdez left the Alyeska Pipeline to cross
Prince William Sound carrying approximately
53 million gallons of crude oil. The tanker was
headed for Long Beach, California. Three hours
later, just after midnight on March 24th, the
Exxon Valdez ran into Bligh Reef, spilling 10.8
million gallons of oil into the sound.
Estimated loss: 4.3 billion USD
Enhanced Safety - Ship and Environment
If Exxon Valdez had ECDIS onboard at least FIVE warning alarms would have indicated that the vessel was in danger of grounding: 1. Leaving the outbound lane and crossing the separation zone of a traffic
separation scheme.
2. Crossing into the inbound lane.
3. Leaving a traffic separation scheme.
4. Crossing a safety depth counter.
5. Crossing a individual spot sounding.
Enhances Ships and Environment Safety
Enhanced earnings: Lowering ship’s running costs
During one year of operation, the
fuel consumed on MV Chastine
Maersk was by US$126,630 less
than the average between the
other Maersk ships on same route
but without Transas ECDIS systems.
Case study: Tarntank Ship Management Comparision Paperless vs. Non Paperless on vessel Tärndal from Tärntank Ship Management.
After becoming a paperless vessel the Shipping company has decreased their costs for charts and publications by approximately 40 % per year.
Lowering ship’s running costs
Enhanced efficiency Traditional Bridge Routine:
Saves time on routines Eliminates errors in routines Provide better means for cognitive situation assessment Automation of routine navigation tasks Automation of Chart correction, route and user database. Navigator-friendly environment for One Man Bridge operation
reduces workload and stress.
ECDIS Implementation – When?
So, when should we:
Enhance Safety : Ship and environment
Enhance Earnings: Lower ship’s running costs.
Enhance efficiency.
ECDIS Training Understanding the complexities of the transition to digital navigation is significant.
ECDIS The Project
Can ECDIS prevent incidents and casualties
ISM systems and certificates were in place They were using ECDIS They were all involved in incidents which could (and should) have been avoided if the ECDIS had been properly used
6 of the vessels ran aground 1 collided with the base of a suspension bridge tower 1 struck a dangerous submerged wreck
……..even though they ended up in an incident or accident, Question is Why?
The vessels…. Cosco Busan, LT Cortesia, Pride of Canterbury, CFL Performer, Federal Kivalina, Maersk Kendal, Sichem Osprey, Beluga Revolution …had something in common.
ECDIS The Project
ECDIS not managed and operated in a proper way
Causal factors includes:
Unauthorised use of ECDIS for primary navigation
Inadequate ECDIS training and familiarisation
Inadequate route planning and monitoring
Failure to activate safety settings
Over-reliance on ECDIS
Deficiencies in the standard of bridge watch-keeping and bridge resource management
…how to prevent when implementing ECDIS?
ECDIS The Project
Implementation of ECDIS From another perspective
Requirement found in SIRE/ OCIMF*
“4.23 If the vessel is provided solely with paper charts, does the operator have procedures in place to prepare for the mandatory introduction of ECDIS?” * Oil Companies International Marine Forum
ECDIS The Project
Implementation of ECDIS from another perspective
From the notes to 4.23 you can read…… Operators must be aware of the fundamental changes in navigation that take place with the use of ECDIS and a program should be in place to ensure that the transition is smooth, equipment installed and masters and all bridge watch keepers properly trained. Fundamental changes in navigation Smooth transition Equipment installed Crew Trained
Is this all? How do I get there?
ECDIS Training
An estimated 500,000 Mariners will require ECDIS training in the future.
Two types of training mandatory: Generic – IMO Model 1.27 Type Specific – Only guidelines exist
Training should be part of a company program including risk assessment, model course training and ship specific training.
ECDIS Training – Requirements STCW.7/Circ.18
The Sub-Committee on Standards of Training and Watch keeping, at its forty-third session (30 April to 4 May 2012), considered the need for guidance on ECDIS training.
The transitional provisions of the 2010 Manila Amendments which require seafarers to be trained according to the new competence standards before 1 January 2017. Masters and officers certificated under chapter II of the STCW Convention serving on board ships fitted with ECDIS are to be familiarized (in accordance with STCW regulation I/14) with the ship's equipment including ECDIS;
ECDIS manufacturers are encouraged to provide resources, such as type-specific materials, which could be provided on a CD or DVD. These resources may form part of the ECDIS familiarization training.
After 1 January 2017, all masters and officers serving on ships fitted with ECDIS certificated under chapter II of the STCW Convention shall have undertaken appropriate generic ECDIS training.
Regulation I/14, paragraph 1.5 of the STCW Convention, as well as sections 6.3 and 6.5 of the International Safety Management (ISM) Code, requires companies to ensure seafarers are provided with familiarization training. A ship safety management system should include familiarization with the ECDIS equipment fitted, including its backup arrangements, sensors and related peripherals. Administrations should inform their port State control officers of the requirements for ECDIS training as detailed in paragraph 9 above. A certificate of competency issued in accordance2
with the 2010 Manila Amendments would be prima facie evidence of generic ECDIS training; however, a record of the ship specific familiarization of the ECDIS should be provided
ECDIS Training – Requirements STCW.7/Circ.18
Generic ECDIS Training (IMO Model Course 1.27) Provides a basic understanding of functions and limitations of ECDIS All officers serving on ECDIS-fitted vessels are affected Fully compliant with STCW 2010
Type-Specific Familiarisation Training Provides familiarization with on-board equipment All officers serving on ECDIS-fitted vessels are affected Training has to comply with ISM an Flag State regulations
ISM Code section 6.3 and 6.5 requires officers to be familiar with the specific ECDIS model installed on-board.
Besides ISM requirements every Flag administration or third party, like vetting, charterers or insurers might commend additional training needs necessary for compliance with their own systems or processes.
ECDIS Training – Requirements
Are you ready for Paperless Navigation?
Paperless Navigation
Do you know what it takes?
Is Dual ECDIS with official charts enough?
All papers and procedures needs to be streamlined to enhance safety of navigation
Find a partner to guide you through the process!
Paperless – what it takes
The system’s installation should be accepted – safety equipment certificate
We need to get procedures/routines how to use the old methods in our new tool – the ECDIS
We need to get all officers on-board trained
We need to optimize the use of the system: benefits form advantages
Transas guide you through the process!
