`Annex
`
`PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR ELECTRONIC CHART DISPLAY
`AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS (ECDIS)
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`1.1
`
`The primary function of the ECDIS is to contribute to safe navigation.
`
`ECDIS, with adequate back-up arrangements, may be accepted as complying with the up-to-date
`1.2
`charts required by regulation V/20 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention.
`
`In addition to the general requirements for shipborne radio equipment forming part of the global
`1.3
`maritime distress and safety system (GMDSS} and the requirements for electronic navigational aids
`contained in IMO resolution A.694(17),* ECDIS should meet the requirements of this performance
`·
`standard.
`
`1.4
`ECDIS should be capable of displaying all chart information necessary for safe and efficient
`navigation originated by, and distributed on the authority of, government-authorized hydrographic offices.
`
`1.5
`
`ECDIS should facilitate simple and reliable updating of the electronic navigational chart.
`
`1.6
`Use of ECDIS should reduce the navigational workload as compared to use of a paper chart. It
`should enable the mariner to execute in a convenient and timely manner all route planning, route
`monitoring and positioning currently performed on paper charts. It should be capable of continuously
`plotting the ship's position.
`
`ECDIS should have at least the same reliability and availability of presentation as the paper chart
`1.7
`published by government-authorized hydrographic offices.
`
`1.8
`ECDIS should provide appropriate alarms or indications with respect to the information displayed or
`malfunction of the equipment (see appendix 5).
`
`2
`
`DEFINITIONS
`
`For the purpose of these performance standards:
`
`2.1
`Electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS) means a navigation information system
`which, with adequate back-up arrangements, can be accepted as complying with the up-to-date chart
`required by regulation V/20 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, by displaying selected information from a
`system electronic navigational chart (SENC) with positional information from navigation sensors to assist the
`mariner in route planning and route monitoring, and by displaying additional navigation-related information
`if required.
`
`Electronic navigational chart (ENC) means the database, standardized as to content, structure and
`2.2
`format, 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) which may be considered necessary
`for safe navigation.
`
`* IEC Publication 945 (see appendix 1 ).

`1is
`
`FLIR-1015.106
`
`

`

`Attachment 3a: Copy of Document 3 from the Los Angeles Law Library
`
`System electronic navigational chart (SENC) means a database resulting from the transformation of
`2.3
`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 ECDIS for the display generation and other
`navigational functions, and is the equivalent to an up-to-date paper chart. The SENC may also contain
`information from other sources.
`
`2.4
`Standard display means the SENC information that should be shown when a chart is first displayed
`on ECDIS. The level of the information it provides for route planning or route monitoring may be modified
`by the mariner according to ~he mariner's needs.
`
`Display base means the level of SENC information which cannot be removed from the display,
`2.5
`consisting of information which is required at all times in all geographical areas and all circumstances. It is
`not intended to be sufficient for safe navigation.
`
`2.6
`Further information on ECDIS definitions may be found in IHO Special Publication S-52, appendix 3
`(see appendix 1 ).
`
`3
`
`DISPLAY OF SENC INFORMATION
`
`3.1
`
`ECDIS should be capable of displaying all SENC information.
`
`SENC information available for display during route planning and route monitoring should be
`3.2
`subdivided into three categories, display base, standard display, and all other information (see appendix 2).
`
`3.3
`
`ECDIS should present the standard display at any time by a single operator action.
`
`3.4 When a chart is first displayed on ECDIS, it should provide the standard display at the largest scale
`available in the SENC for the displayed area.
`
`3.5
`It should be easy to add or remove information from the ECDIS display. It should not be possible to
`remove information contained in the display base.
`
`It should be possible for the mariner to select a safety contour from the depth contours provided by
`3.6
`the SENC. ECDIS should give the safety contour more emphasis than other contours on the display.
`
`It should be possible for the mariner to select a safety depth. ECDIS should emphasize soundings
`3.7
`equal to or less than the safety depth whenever spot soundings are selected for display.
`
`The ENC and all updates to it should be displayed without any degradation of their information
`3.8
`content.
`
`ECDIS should provide a means of ensuring that the ENC and all updates to it have been correctly
`3.9
`loaded into the SENC.
`
`3.10 The ENC data and updates to it should be clearly distinguishable from other displayed information,
`such as, for example, that listed in appendix 3.
`
`4
`
`PROVISION AND UPDATING* OF CHART INFORMATION
`
`4.1
`The chart information to be used in .ECDIS should be the latest edition of information originated by a
`government-authorized hydrographic office, and conform to IHO standards.
`
`* Appendix 1 to IHO Special Publication S-52 (see appendix 1 ).
`
`236 - Resolution A.817(79)
`
`FLIR-1015.107
`
`

`

`Attachment 3a: Copy of Document 3 from the Los Angeles Law Library
`
`The contents of the SENC should be adequate and up-to-date for the intended voyage, as required
`4.2
`by regulation V/20 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention.
`
`4.3
`
`4.4
`
`It should not be possible to alter the contents of the ENC.
`
`Updates should be stored separately from the ENC.
`
`ECDIS should be capable of accepting official updates to the ENC data provided in conformity with
`4.5
`IHO standards. These updates should be automatically applied to the SENC. By whatever means updates
`are received, the implementation procedure should not interfere with the display in use.
`
`ECDIS should also be capable of accepting updates to the ENC data entered manually with simple
`4.6
`means for verification prior to the final acceptance of the data. They should be distinguishable on the display
`from ENC information and its official updates, and not affect display legibility.
`
`4.7
`
`ECDIS should keep a record of updates, including time of application to the SENC.
`
`ECDIS should allow the mariner to display updates so that the mariner may review their contents
`4.8
`and ascertain that they have been included in the SENC.
`
`SCALE
`5
`ECDIS should provide an indication of whether:
`
`.1
`
`.2
`
`the information is displayed at a larger scale than that contained in the ENC; or
`
`own ship's position is covered by an ENC at a larger scale than that provided by the display.
`
`6
`
`DISPLAY OF OTHER NAVIGATIONAL INFORMATION
`
`6.1
`Radar information or other navigational information may be added to the ECDIS display. However, it
`should not degrade the SENC information, and should be clearly distinguishable from the SENC information.
`
`ECDIS and added navigational information should use a common reference system. If this is not the
`6.2
`case, an indication should be provided.
`
`6.3
`
`Radar
`
`6.3.1 Transferred radar information may contain both the radar image and ARPA information.
`
`If the radar image is added to the ECDIS display, the chart and the radar image should match in
`6.3.2
`scale and in orientation.
`
`6.3.3 The radar image and the position from the position sensor should both be adjusted automatically
`for antenna offset from the conning position.
`
`It should be possible to adjust the displayed position of the ship manually so that the radar image
`6.3.4
`matches the SENC display.
`
`6.3.5
`
`It should be possible to remove the radar information by single operator action.
`
`7
`
`DISPLAY MODE AND GENERATION OF THE NEIGHBOURING AREA
`
`7.1
`It should always be possible to display the SENC in a "north-up" orientation. Other orientations are
`permitted.
`
`7.2
`
`ECDIS should provide for true motion mode. Other modes are permitted.
`
`Resolution A.817(19} - 237
`
`FLIR-1015.108
`
`

`

`Attachment 3a: Copy of Document 3 from the Los Angeles Law Library
`
`7.3 When true motion mode is in use, reset and generation of the neighbouring area should take place
`automatically at a distance from the border of the display determined by the mariner.
`
`It should be possible manually to change the chart area and the position of own ship relative to the
`7.4
`edge of the display.
`
`8
`
`8.1
`
`COLOURS AND SYMBOLS
`
`IHO recommended colours and symbols should be used to represent SENC information.*
`
`The colours and symbols other than those mentioned in 8.1 should be those used to describe the
`8.2
`navigational elements and parameters listed in appendix 3 and published by IEC.t
`
`SENC information, when displayed at the scale specified in the ENC, should use the specified size of
`8.3
`symbols, figures and letters.* t
`
`8.4
`
`ECDIS should allow the mariner to select whether own ship is displayed in true scale or as a symbol.
`
`9
`
`DISPLAY REQUIREMENTS
`
`9.1
`
`ECDIS should be capable of displaying information for:
`
`.1
`
`.2
`
`route planning and supplementary navigation tasks;
`
`route monitoring.
`
`The effective size of the chart presentation for route monitoring should be at least 2 70 mm x
`9.2
`270 mm.
`
`The display should be capable of complying with the colour and resolution recommendations of
`
`9.3
`IHO.*
`
`9.4
`The method of presentation should ensure that the displayed information is clearly visible to more
`than one observer in the conditions of light normally experienced on the bridge of the ship by day and by
`night.
`
`10
`
`ROUTE PLANNING, MONITORING AND VOYAGE RECORDING
`
`10.1
`It should be possible to carry out route planning and route monitoring in a simple and reliable
`manner.
`
`10.2 ECDIS should be designed following ergonomic principles for user-friendly operation.
`
`10.3 The largest scale data available in the SENC for the area given should always be used by the ECDIS
`for all alarms or indications of crossing the ship's safety contour and of entering a prohibited area, and for
`alarms and indications according to appendix 5.
`
`10.4 Route planning
`

`10.4.2
`
`It should be possible to adjust a planned route by, for example:
`
`.1
`
`.2
`
`.3
`
`.4
`
`adding waypoints to a route;
`
`deleting waypoints from a route;
`
`changing the position of a waypoint;
`
`changing the order of the waypoints in the route.
`
`10.4.3
`It should be possible to plan an alternative route in addition to the selected route. The selected
`route should be clearly distinguishable from the other routes.
`
`10.4.4 An indication is required if the mariner plans a route across an own ship's safety contour.
`
`10.4.5 An indication is required if the mariner plans a route across the boundary of a prohibited area or of
`a geographical area for which special conditions exist (see appendix 4).
`
`10.4.6
`It should be possible for the mariner to specify a limit of deviation from the planned route at which
`activation of an automatic offtrack alarm should occur.
`
`10.5 Route monitoring
`
`10.5.1 For route monitoring the selected route and own ship's position should appear whenever the
`display covers _that area.
`
`10.5.2
`It should be possible to display a sea area that does not have the ship on the display (e.g. for look
`ahead, route planning), while route monitoring. If this is done on the display used for route monitoring, the
`automatic route monitoring functions (e.g. updating ship's position, and providing alarms and indications)
`should be continuous. It should be possible to return to the route monitoring display covering own ship's
`position immediately by single operator action.
`
`10.5.3 ECDIS should give an alarm if the ship, within a specified time set by the mariner, is going to cross
`the safety contour.
`
`10.5.4 ECDIS should give an alarm or indication, as selected by the mariner, if the ship, within a specified
`time set by the mariner, is going to cross the boundary of a prohibited area or of a geographical area for
`which special conditions exist (see appendix 4).
`
`10.5.5 An alarm should be given when the specified limit for deviation from the planned route is
`exceeded.
`
`10.5.6 The ship's positron should be derived from a continuous positioning system of an accuracy
`consistent with the requirements of safe navigation. Whenever possible, a second independent positioning
`method of a different type should be provided; ECDIS should be capable of identifying discrepancies
`between the two systems.
`
`10.5.7 ECDIS should provide an indication when the input from the position-fixing system is lost. ECDIS
`should also repeat, but only as an indication, any alarm or indication passed to it from a position-fixing
`system.
`
`10.5.8 An alarm should be given by ECDIS if the ship, within a specified time or distance set by the
`mariner, is going to reach a critical point on the planned route.
`
`10.5.9 The positioning system and the SENC should be on the same geodetic datum. ECDIS should give
`an alarm if this is not the case.

`
`10.5.10
`It should be possible to display an alternative route in addition to the selected route. The selected
`route should be clearly distinguishable from the other routes. During the voyage, it should be possible for
`the mariner to modify the selected sailing route or change to an alternative route.
`
`10.5.11
`
`It should be possible to display:
`
`.1
`
`.2
`
`time-labels along ship's track, manually on demand and automatically at intervals selected
`between 1 and 120 m; and
`
`an adequate number of: points, free movable electronic bearing lines, variable and fixed-range
`markers and other symbols required for navigation purposes and specified in appendix 3.
`
`10.5.12
`It should be possible to enter the geographical co-ordinates of any position and then display that
`position on demand. It should also be possible to select any point (features, symbol or position) on the
`display and to read its geographical co-ordinates on demand.
`
`10.5.13
`It should be possible to adjust the ship's geographical position manually. This manual adjustment
`should be noted alphanumerically on the screen, maintained until altered by the mariner, and automatically
`recorded.
`
`10.6 Voyage recording
`
`10.6.1 ECDIS should store and be able to reproduce certain minimum elements required to reconstruct
`the navigation and verify the official database used during the previous 12 h. The following data should be
`recorded at one-minute intervals:
`
`.1
`
`.2
`
`to ensure a record of own ship's past track: time, position, heading, and speed; and
`
`to ensure a record of official data used: ENC source, edition, date, cell and update history.
`
`10.6.2
`In addition, ECDIS should record the complete track for the entire voyage, with time marks at
`intervals not exceeding 4 h.
`
`10.6.3
`
`It should not be possible to manipulate or change the recorded information.
`
`10.6.4 ECDIS should have the capability to preserve the record of the previous 12 h and of the voyage
`track.
`
`11
`
`ACCURACY
`
`11.1 The accuracy of all calculations performed by ECDIS should be independent of the characteristics of
`the output device and should be consistent with the SENC accuracy.
`
`11.2 Bearings and distances drawn on the display, or those measured between features already drawn on
`the display, should have an accuracy no less than that afforded by the resolution of the display.
`
`12
`
`CONNECTIONS WITH OTHER EQUIPMENT*
`
`12.1 ECDIS should not degrade the performance of any equipment providing sensor inputs. Nor should
`the connection of optional equipment degrade the performance of ECDIS below this standard.
`
`12.2 ECDIS should be connected to systems providing continuous position-fixing, heading and speed
`information.

`
`PERFORMANCE TESTS, MALFUNCTION ALARMS AND INDICATIONS
`13
`13.1 ECDIS should be provided with means for carrying out on-board tests of major functions either
`automatically or manually. In case of a failure, the test should display information to indicate which module
`is at fault.
`
`13.2 ECDIS should provide a suitable alarm or indication of system malfunction.
`
`BACK-UP ARRANGEMENTS
`14
`Adequate back-up arrangements should be provided to ensure safe navigation in case of an ECDIS failure .
`
`. 1
`
`Facilities enabling a safe take-over of the ECDIS functions should be provided in order to ensure
`that an ECDIS failure does not result in a critical situation .
`
`• 2 A back-up arrangement should be provided facilitating means for safe navigation of the
`remaining part of the voyage in case of an ECDIS failure.
`
`POWER SUPPLY
`15
`15.1
`It should be possible to operate ECDIS and all equipment necessary for its normal functioning when
`supplied by an emergency source of electrical power in accordance with the appropriate requirements of
`chapter 11-1 of the 19 7 4 SOLAS Convention.
`
`15.2 Changing from one source of power supply to another, or any interruption of the supply for a period
`of up to 45 s, should not require the equipment to be re-initialized manually.
