12.1.9 Entering Information about Your Vessel (Ship Info Command)
The Ship Info command is where you enter the dimensions of the vessel, as well
as specify where the navigational antennas are located. ECDIS uses the entered
information in many ways. First, it draws the ship symbol so that it is proportional
to the specified vessel size. More importantly, because ECDIS knows where on
the ship the antennas are located, it can offset the ship symbol from that point,
giving you the accurate representation of your position relative to other objects.
NOTE
Only Safety Contour and Safety Depth can be changed. All other entries
can only be modified in service mode.
