Why ECDIS & ICE ?Why ECDIS & ICE ?
According to the last edition of SOLAS both traditional paper navigation charts and the ECDIS will have the same status.
It is easier for navigators to have all kind of information in one place(ECDIS),no other inputs(Fax,pictures,telex,etc)

The major goalsThe major goals
To find the concerned ECDIS developersTo develop technology for the ice
navigation support using ECDISTo test technology under the real ice
conditions.

ProblemsProblems
A lot of ECDIS developers No possibility for direct use of S57 standard for
hydro-meteorological information No standard terms to display the ice and hydro-
meteorological information under ECDIS environment
No easy available global-coverage communication means
What else ?
