![]() ![]() We now need to make sure that the route that we have drawn is not passing through any dangers.īut before we do that, we need to set the safety settings on ECDIS according to our draft for the next voyage. For example, you can change the longitude 38 Deg 57.999′ to 39 Degrees. For ease of reference, you may want to change these waypoints to upto one decimal place.įor that you can go to Route -> Route planning – > table editor and open the recently saved route.įrom the table, you can fine-tune the waypoints. The waypoints created by the graphical editor would most likely be upto 3 decimal places. Once you have created the complete route, you can save the route. When doing that, it would be easier to zoom out and choose a little smaller scale to get the idea of where we need to head to.Īnd then you can keep on zooming in and out as and when required while creating the route Just take the cursor on the starting point and keep on clicking wherever you wish to create a waypoint. Then it is just like drawing a route on the paper chart. On the top menu, go to Route -> Route Planning -> Graphical editor. ![]() Let us see how to go about creating the route on ECDIS (JRC ECDIS). The route that we decide must follow all the company requirements and must be in accordance with the industry guidelines. Here is an article that I had written sometime back on using the publications to find the best route to follow.Īnd once we have all the information, we need to use that to decide the route. We need to find the information from all the publications available. The first element that you all may have guessed is the route.Īnd when it comes to choosing the route, there is nothing different from what we do even when were using paper charts. In this blog we will discuss the 7 elements which once plotted would make the passage plan on ECDIS stand out. More or less it is same as what we used to do on paper charts. Well, actually there is nothing different in the passage planning on ECDIS. One of the area that now require detailing is the passage planning on ECDIS. Most of us know this drill at the back of hands now.Īnd I have covered quite a few of articles on updating and keeping the ENCs up to date.Įven during the third party inspections, the inspectors are now focussing on the ECDIS in detail.Īs even they consider that the period for amateur questions on the ECDIS is over. In the initial days we were just struggling to keep the ENCs updated on ECDIS.īut that is the thing of the past. We have come a long way since ECDIS was brought into our lives. ![]()
