Admiralty's take on ECDIS training
(June 3 2012)
Ian Moncrieff CBE, CEO, UKHO and Admiralty, has explained the importance of
ECDIS training.“Training of bridge watchkeepers to give then them full
confidence and proficiency in planning and conducting navigation with ENCs in
an ECDIS and back of bridge systems is a critical success factor if the
maritime community is to realise the full benefits of ECDIS. However, we share
the concern that we have heard from the shipping community that there is still
a shortage of ECDIS-trained deck officers and a lot of people to be trained
over a relatively short time.“There is currently a wide variation in quality
and delivery of ECDIS training courses globally. We have heard that there is a
lack of clarity and understanding around training in some quarters and, we have
sought to play our part in improving this situation,” he said.He went on to
explain Admiralty’s role in ECDIS training. First, to highlight the need for
comprehensive ECDIS training, Admiralty launched a worldwide promotion that
will enable 100 mariners to receive a generic ECDIS training course. Qualified
bridge officers working on international trading ships can enter the promotion
online.“While there is no definitive figure for the number of mariners who
require training, estimates suggest between 140,000 and 200,000 mariners will
need to be trained in the next six years,” he said. “While our offering is
modest in terms of these numbers, we hope that it will raise awareness of the
significant challenge facing the industry.”Second, in addition to this, and
reaching out to many areas globally, Admiralty has also been running a series
of global digital integration workshops, developed in conjunction with Capt
Paul Hailwood, master mariner and an expert on ECDIS. Free to attend, the
workshops help shipping managers plan effectively using a clearly explained
step by step guide and templates to cover all the areas and requirements of the
IMO ECDIS mandate.Capt Hailwood explained, “Many companies underestimate how
long the transition to digital navigation will take. To avoid problems,
shipping companies need definitive answers about the integration process to
enable them to fully understand what ECDIS compliance requires and prepare
effectively.“Feedback we’ve had is that the sessions help attendees feel more
confident about the challenges of installing and operating ECDIS. It’s
encouraging to see that some audience members are well advanced in the process,
but many are still at planning stage,” he said.Asked about their priorities
following the session, all attendees said the same thing, by a significant
majority - crew training.The next workshop will be taking place in Germany at
SMM Hamburg, 4th-7th September 2012.Third, and recognising that seafarers will
need to be trained to meet the STCW requirements for operating with ECDIS and
therefore the IMO model course that qualifies this, as well as ECDIS type
specific acquaints, Admiralty has produced a ‘Practical Guide to Navigating
with ENCs’, which supplements this training.This comprises a new Nautical
Publication (NP231) computer-based training media, and a train the trainer
package. This guide is focused on those new to ECDIS and ENCs, explains the
terminology in seafarer’s language and is illustrated with screenshots, top
tips and hints on getting the most from ECDIS and ENCs, cautionary tales and
settings, etc.
