Step 10. The aim is safety but the result can also be efficiency

ECDIS has been shown to contribute significantly to safety of life at sea, but it can also increase operational efficiency that in turn can lead to bottom line savings.

Navigators and superintendents regularly report a steady flow of benefits from using ECDIS. Updates to chart data can be virtually instant. Navigation tasks and bridge workload can be optimized, situational awareness improved and stress reduced when navigating in congested waters where most accidents occur.

ECDIS also offers data reporting and auditing tools that can eliminate redundant practices and improve voyage planning, delivering tangible fuel savings. Early adopters will be the ones that see the advantages soonest.
