UKHO has identified that in some ECDIS underwater hazards are not displayed and do not activate alarm in route checking and route monitoring modes, as communicated in the UKHO ‘NAVAREA I Warning 317/10' of 29th October 2010. Transas Marine has carried out a test of its Navi-Sailor 4000 ECDIS MFD and Navi-Sailor 3000 ECDIS-I based on the description of the ENC objects and attributes provided by UKHO. The test results show that there are no errors in Transas ECDIS with displaying underwater hazards, which was also confirmed by UKHO.
In particular, the objects shown in table to the right were tested by UKHO. Each object was checked in Transas Navi-Sailor 4000 ECDIS MFD and all objects are displayed correctly in Standard mode and generate anti-grounding alarms. Click on the table to see the symbols displayed in Transas ECDIS.
In order to ensure that all safety related information from ENC data are always correctly presented on ECDIS display, Transas Marine continues investigation in close cooperation with UKHO.
