Industry Recommendations for ECDIS Training
Ship owners and operators should provide crews with a comprehensive
familiarisation program based on the IMO Model Course on ECDIS (1.27).
This training is recommended even when ECDIS is used on vessels to
which SOLAS and IMO STCW (Standards of Training, Certification and
Watchkeeping) do not apply.
Ship owners and operators should always refer to their national
Administrations for the latest regulations governing ECDIS carriage and
use.
