Initially, ECDIS was considered as a means of meeting paper chart carriage requirements, and later in 2011, became a mandatory carriage requirement for SOLAS ships with a phased-in implementation, recognising the benefits of ECDIS for navigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, ECDIS training and competency requirements for seafarers were introduced into the Seafarers? Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) Code, which entered into force on 1st January 2012. A model course on the operational use of ECDIS used by training institutions to develop their approved training was also developed. These developments in ECDIS technology, training and procedures have delivered towards IMO?s mission in the field of safety of navigation, set at a global scale. IMO continues to take the lead in bridging the gap between technology and safety and security concerns, in order to achieve the right balance. In this context, the role of the human element is paramount to support and monitor technology and to ensure that ECDIS continues to serve its purpose, ie enhance the safety of navigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmphasising the inherent and unique role of the IMO in the development of ECDIS international provisions, it is encouraging to see that the industry is taking the lead to proactively provide guidance to ECDIS users. These initiatives complement the efforts made by the IMO to ensure the effective implementation of its provisions, including ECDIS - Guidance for Good Practice (MSC.1\/Circ.1503\/Rev.2), the latest version of which was issued in 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForeword supplied by the International Maritime Organization\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForeword to Volume 2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe International Hydrographic Organization?s (IHO) and The International Maritime Organization?s (IMO) technical standardisation builds the foundation for the uniformity of digital navigation devices on ships on international voyages under any flag. ECDIS ? as the all integrating device of digital navigation information ? was based on this concept approach from the start in 1986 when the IMO\/IHO Joint Harmonization Group was laying the regulatory foundations for ECDIS ? long before the required hardware and software was available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince then, the applicable standards of both intergovernmental organisations have undergone several iterations to reflect technical progress and changed users demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to IMO?s overarching paradigm for navigation equipment, IMO Resolution Performance Standards for ECDIS defines minimum requirements on functionality and performance. However, the added value of the modern ECDIS comes more and more from additional functionality within the chart. For example, seafarers require real water level application based on tides and currents predictions, dense bathymetry and electronic sailing directions embedded in a way that content can be associated automatically to the navigation plan. The S-100 framework for the standardisation of all the marine information related data services address this functionality. IHO S-52 version 4.0 ruling the visual presentation of chart content has now safely been adopted by all vessels, and S-101 ENCs will eventually replace S-57 ENCs. This allows the IHO to lead in enhancing the way ships navigate under a digital shield and to make shipping safer and more efficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the standards have been revised, the art of navigation has evolved. There is now evidence that ECDIS has reduced the number of grounding incidents, compared to that of paper ships, but there are always improvements to be made. Dense traffic in congested waters, ever growing ship size and draught and on time delivery at the port of call cannot be managed without all embracing digital navigation support. The IHO continues to lead in developing value, adding interoperable layers of the ENC to enhance ECDIS with the prospect of having artificial intelligence (AI) helping the mariner one day. In the interim, IHO members make a concerted effort to provide additional content as regular data services in a safe, consistent and reliable manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI wish this publication every success to educate the reader about the general concepts of ECDIS and the details need to be known for proper use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMathias Jonas\u003cbr\u003eSecretary-General\u003cbr\u003eInternational Hydrographic Organization\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForeword to Volume 3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2025, a significant milestone occurred in the evolution of ECDIS as IHO Member States adopted operational standards within the S-100 framework. To put this in perspective, the current standard of S-57 ENC Charts was first adopted in 1995, 30 years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-1995, a ?chart? was a physical item which was used in conjunction with other charts to visually construct a plan. Positions, confirmed by either visual, celestial or radar means (or a combination of the three), were plotted directly onto the chart which identified where the ship was and where it needed to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2025, on many ships, charts are now electronic (ECDIS). These digital systems can create passage plans and decide where it is safe to navigate. ECDIS can also inform the user of the most optimum speed and route to take for fuel efficiency for that voyage. ECDIS can cross check its positional reliability with other sources, usually by comparing GNSS positional data. Typically, the Master and\/or OOWs would be alerted to any discrepancies in positional data or other sensor feedbacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn some systems, ECDIS is also linked to the autopilot and has a ?track control function?, which, depending on the manufacturer, may allow the ECDIS to look ahead for dangers and automatically alter the ship's course to avoid them. Manoeuvres carried out by the ECDIS must be in accordance with the COLREGs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who say the maritime industry is slow to evolve, this is a dramatic 30-year transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are many still at sea, who like me, conducted their ECDIS training on ARCS charts pre-S-57 adoption. Unfortunately, the mandated IMO 1.27 Generic training syllabus is unable to reflect the constant changes to ECDIS software and its capabilities, and it does not support those trained historically in ECDIS. There is no doubt that ECDIS has reduced navigation incidents at sea, although to maintain this safety curve there now requires an even greater understanding of how ECDIS works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven the best, most advanced, modern ECDIS is only as good as the knowledge of the ECDIS operator who configures it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDebbie Hull\u003cbr\u003eManaging Director\u003cbr\u003eECDIS Ltd\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eContent Listing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;
