Are you ready for the new
ECDIS regulations?

Do you want to discuss the best way to start to implement digital navigation? The revised SOLAS regulations requiring the carriage of ECDIS on most large ships are a significant landmark in changing the way ships navigate. With the regulations effective on a rolling timetable from July 2012, shipping companies and crews must be ready to meet the new requirements if they are to remain SOLAS compliant.

Admiralty's series of workshops will explain the transition process in nine clear stages to help you plan to integrate digital navigation into your fleet.

The Workshop is modular and is easy to adapt to suit you, the audience. It has been designed in conjunction with Captain Paul Hailwood, Master Mariner, who has significant experience in the Merchant Navy and Maritime Industry and is a renowned expert on ECDIS and integrated bridge operations.

The workshops are presented by Paul Hailwood or Joe Collins, with plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion.

We have already held the workshop in Athens, Shanghai, Singapore and Connecticut, the next workshops planned are:
