SIMRAD ECDIS in e-Navigation Centre

UK-based ECDIS Ltd have signed of an agreement with Simrad, to provide flag-state approved training on Simrad's CS68 ECDIS software. The agreement has seen the installation of a Simrad terminal in ECDIS Ltd's e-Navigation Centre, as well as the ability to provide mobile generic and type specific training on Simrad ECDIS software. The two companies are also looking at plans to open a new dedicated Simrad ECDIS training facility in the Netherlands, later this year.

 

Simrad's CS68 is recognised as one of the most reliable ECDIS in the world. Having been designed to withstand the roughest conditions at sea, it features a shock-mounted central processing unit and a choice of input devices. It is the only type-approved ECDIS that runs on 24VDC, which combined with its competitive pricing, makes it ideally suited to for all vessel types. The system also features a voice alarm system, which provides the operator with specific warnings distinguishable from other bridge alarms, rather than the generic buzzer found on other systems.

The SIMRAD ECDIS suite takes its place in the e-Navigation Centre.
