What is an ECDIS ?ECDIS is an acronym for Electronic Chart Displayand Information System. At its simplest, an ECDISconsists of a database of electronic charts,together with the hardware and software neededto display simultaneously the charts and the ship’sown position (obtained from a GPS or anotherpositioning sensor), and to perform navigationaltasks such as route planning, route monitoring,measurement of distances on the chart, etc. Oneof the most important features of ECDIS thatmakes it a unique aid to navigation is thecapability of generating alarms (anti-grounding,off route, etc.), based on input from sensors andanalysis of chart information.

Kelvin Hughes was one of the first Companies toreceive Type Approval for its ECDIS back in 1994.Since then many advances have been made intechnology and data availability. World-wide ENC(vector) chart data is now available from a varietyof sources.

MantaDigitalTM PhilosophyDesigned for ease of operation MantaDigitalTM ECDIS is the latest product from Kelvin Hughes' Mantadevelopment programme. Intuitive operation and a clear display of relevant information provides theoperator with a decision making tool which enhances safety and efficiency. Simplicity and ease ofoperation is at the heart of Kelvin Hughes' design philosophy.

Wide-Screen ECDIS

The RangeMantaDigitalTM ECDIS is available in a variety ofmounting configurations to meet the needs ofdifferent vessel types and operationalscenarios. It can be supplied in options rangingfrom a single 20" desktop retrofit systemthrough to a fully integrated navigationsystem.

Display options include 20" and 26"high-definition screens for pedestal,desktop and mounting into consoles.

Multi-Function by DesignFrom the outset, MantaDigitalTM ECDIS has beendesigned for true multi-functionality, providing aplatform for Radar, Chart Radar, ECDIS andConning Display options. MantaDigitalTM is drivenby Kelvin Hughes' "common-core" processorsystem which is now in use throughout theRadar, ECDIS and VDR product ranges providingenhanced functionality, reliability and lowcost of ownership.

Navigation ToolsMantaDigitalTM ECDIS provides a range of tools to ease the task of electronic navigation. These include rangeand bearing cursors, an enlarged "spyscope" together with traditional tools for route planning. Included inthese tools is manual fixing which can be used both as a training tool and operationally in the event of asensor failure. This enables the navigator to fix the vessel's position on the electronic chart using traditionalradar or visual plots and fixes. These manual fixes can be used to derive dead reckoned or estimated positionsfor ongoing navigation.

Kelvin Hughes - Rich TraditionKelvin Hughes can trace its history ofinstrument making back for more than twohundred and fifty years when it suppliedmariners with chronometers and sextantsto help them navigate the new world trade

Route MonitoringMantaDigitalTM ECDIS provides continuous monitoring of vessel'sposition against its planned track. In addition, a look ahead isperformed on the underlying chart data and a warning is generated ifthe intended vessel's track will violate pre-set safety parameters.

Situation AwarenessMantaDigital ECDIS provides a continuous display of ownship'snavigation parameters together with a display of ownship graphic withheading, track, and route on the chart.

Safety SettingsSafety settings related to shipsparameters are providedtogether with a configurableguard-zone providing "look-ahead" warning for chartedhazards.

Route PlanningRoutes can be planned using drag-and-drop todefine the waypoints on the chart screen.Channel widths, turn radius and planned speedsfor each leg can be defined. After planning, theroute can be checked to see whether it violatesthe ships safery parameters, this must be donebefore the route can be activated. Both rhumbline and great circle legs can be constructed.

Chart MaintenanceExtensive tools are provided which simplify theorgainsation and management of chart data andpermits. In conjunction with the ChartCo updateservice the MantaDigitalTM ECDIS is the easy solutionfor chart management and updates onboard yourvessels.

Vessel Position PredictionTo aid close quarter manoeuvering on large chartscales , the ECDIS will display the outline of the vesselgraphically on the chart based on preset parameters.A forward prediction of ownship's position up to 6minutes advanced can also be displayed to give thenavigator awareness of the vessel's position during themanoeuvre.

Radar Interlay (Option)As an aid to situation awareness the MantaDigitalTM ECDIS can interlay radar datawith the ENC chart data. This provides the navigator with instant appreciation ofthe current navigation situation with regard to collision and possible grounding. Italso provides a excellentcheck on the status ofposition fixing aids as radarvisible coastlines can beeasily matched to the chartdata to give an immediateintegrity check.

TM

Conning Display (Option)The Conning Display option provides a centralised real-timedisplay of navigation parameters. These include heading trackand speed together with planned routes and monitoringdata. A head-up inset chart is displayed together with a depthgraphic. This mode can be configured to suit a ship'sindividual sensors and parameters and can be used as anECDIS backup.

ECDIS Features

Track Control (Option)With an optional software module MantadigitalTM ECDIS canprovide fully Type Approved Track Control functionality meetingthe requirements of IEC62065. In this mode the autopilot receivessteering instructions from the ECDIS and performs the steering inaccordance with the preset parameters in the ECDIS.The ECDIS can also transfer the data to the radar to allow the dis-play of curved heading line, which is a feature that shows the turnto be performed by the vessel on the radar. This way the navigatorcan predict the turn circle and determine if the turn is in accord-ance with his intentions.

Alarm FunctionalityMantaDigitalTM ECDIS includes an integrated alarm management system whichalerts the navigator if safety parameters are contravened or if there is a failure ofany ancilliary system. Alarms and warnings can also be transferred to officers'cabins or to the general alarm system.

equipment and particularly familiarises theuser with using traditional navigational meth-ods on the ECDIS.

The overall objective is to enhance naviga-tional safety through safe operation and athorough understand of the MantaDigitalECDIS.

Key areas addressed by the course are:

� Electronic chart data and its display in anECDIS

� Proper use of the ECDIS equipment

� ECDIS-related limitations

� Operation of the Kelvin Hughes ECDIS

The training lasts five days and is available inthe UK (South) , Egypt and Singapore.

Warranty and Global ServiceThrough its servicelocations and a largenumber of authorisedservice partners KelvinHughes can provideglobal service and

Data UpdatesManaging changes to the chart database is key tokeeping the chart outfit up-to-date and safe andmeeting the Port State Authority requirements.ChartCo provides an update via broadcast, emailor Internet technology. This service provides

updates for paper andelectronic charts andpublications andincludes additional

services such as weather forecasting and routingand a news service. Updates can be passeddirectly to the ECDIS through the network or viaCD.

In addition Kelvin Hughes’ Outfit Managementservice can manage paper publications andcharts alongside your digital data ensuring that atall times you are up-to-date, safe and meet theport state authority requirements.

Licence ManagementManaging electronic chartsdiffers significantly frompaper charts. Chart cells areloaded onto the ECDIS andactivated using licences.Licences from differenthydrographic offices mayhave differing validity

durations, so ensuring that the appropriate chartsremain available is an important task. Shipswhose trading patterns change will need newcells to be activated. Licences are available forthree, six or twelve month durations. KelvinHughes can remotely manage the licensingprocess as part of the Outfit Management Service.
