15 are available? What are they? 1 How many types of Electronic Chart Answer there are three types vector chart. (Official) Raster chart. (Official) Unofficial electronie Chart. How ENCs and RNCs are kept up to date? Answer: ENCs and RNCs arc normally kept up to date by applying regular, update information to the chart data via a digital data file. The update file may be transferred by wireless transmission, or on a suitable media, such as a CD-ROM. In these cases the updating of the chart database is done automatically by the ECOIS. Another standard function of ECDIS is the capability to update the ENC manvally. This may be required when a digital update is not available or a hydrographic office has issued 2 update information in a non-digital form. 3 What is the backup requirement for ECDIS? Answer: There are two commonly accepted options: - A second ECDIS, connected to an independent power supply and a separate GPS position input; - Upto date paper‘nautical charts sufficient for the intended voyage c do in the areas without ENC coverage? Answe", Rustes Navigational Charts (RNCs} can be used in ECDIS to meet the SOLAS carriage requirements for nautical charts where there is no ENC coverage. However, this is only allowed if spproved by the Flag State of the ship concerned, In any areas where neither ENCs nor RNCs are available vessels must carry all the paper charts necessary for the intended voyage. 5. What are the measures taken onboard a ship to avoid over reliancé on ECDIS? Answer: There is a tendency to put too much trust in computer-based systems and, in the case of ECDIS, to believe implicitly in whatever is. shown on the chart display. It is essential that officers remember to played information by afl means available: especially by visual observation anvi Bridge-procedures must be adapted potentially adverse consequences. cross check the dis aren trom the bridge window and by watching the radar. comp: and ENC training must be carried out to minimise the appropriately 6. Why Vector charts are called intelligent charts? Ans. Vector cha vi 7 is > charts have been called “intelligent” because they cen show data in layers, allowing you to reduce clutter or add more detail to the chart. 7 What are the major qualities or attributes of an Official ENC? : ‘Ans. Ollicial ENCs have the following quality (attribute): ; ENC-, content is based on source data or official charts of the respo Office. : : 7 ENCs are compiled and coded according to international standards gncsare referred to World Geodetic System 1984 Datum (WGS84); + ENC content is the responsibility of the issuing Hydrographic Office-, + ENCs are issued only by the responsible Hydrographic Office-, and ENCs are regularly updated with official update information distributed digitally 8. What is “Dual Fuel” mode? Ans, Some ECDIS equipment may operate in the Raster Chart Display System (RCOS). This concept. using both data formats together with implemented functionality's in one system is called DUAL FUE model, However official raster charts (ARCS) may be used where ENC are not available along with the Teawirement for the vessel to carry the "appropriate folio" of paper charts when operating in the RCDS mode.

Eacli £CDIS software manufacturer has its own SENC format. Conseitiently the SENC format may differ between ECDIS manufacturers. 24, How fe an ECDIS approver! and by whom? Answer: To meet SOLAS requirements an ECDIS must be certified to show it conforms to the IMO ferformence Standard for ECDIS. This is achieved through the type approval and certification processes recognized by the relevant Flag ‘itate, ECOIS type approval testing 15 conducted using test standards and procedures developed by the international Electro-technical Commission (IEC). These are based on the IMO Performance Standard for £COIS and the supporting IHO standards (IHO S-52, S-57, 5-63). The IEC testing standard for ECOIS is 1EC 61174. Page 6 of 15 25.

Answer: Selected from depth contours provided; more emphasis shown (bold) that other contours. ion provided during route planning. Alarm given if approaching within a specified time period. Default safety contour: 30m or next deeper. 28, What are the two types of Symbology ENC supports? Ans. ENC supports two types of symbology for navigational marking. These two symbol sets are referred to as ‘traditional’ (paper chart) and ‘simplified’. - Traditional symbols look same as on a paper chart. - Simplified symbols appear on ENC vector charts and were invented along with ECDIS standard. Technically they are described in the $52 standard, 29. With regards to ECDIS what is True and Relative Motion? the Ans.

Is there a need to keep ECDIS software updated? jion of the ENC Ans. If ECOIS software is not upgraded to read ENCs based on the latest Pak eee Product Specification or to use the latest version of the 5-52 Presentation Library ‘may be unable to correctly display the latest approved chart symbols. 1HO ECOIS users should ensure that their ECDIS software always conforms to the latest standards, 43. What to do in areas without ENC coverage? Answer: Raster Navigational Charts (RNCs) can be used in ECDIS to meet the SOLAS carriage requirements for nautical charts where there is no ENC coverage. However, this is only allowed if approved by the Flag State of the ship concerned. In any areas where neither ENCs nor RNCs are available vessels must carry all the paper charts Necessary for the intended voyage. 44. What do you understand by the terms SENC and SENC delivery? Answer: SENC means a database resulting from the wansformation of the ENC by ECDIS for appropriate use. : In order \o take advantage of the efficiencies of delivering ENC data in a SENC format, the [HO has authorised an optional distribution mechanism called SENC delivery, This is in addition to the standard distribution of ENC in S-57 format. In this case, a RENC delivers the $-57 based ENCs to an cdi chact dats distributor who then nerforms an ENC-to-SENC conversion (that otherwise would take place inside the ECDIS), and delivers the resultant SENC to the end user. 45.
