Step 7. Demonstrate compliance for Port State Inspection

As well as having to satisfy the initial requirements of your Flag State when installing ECDIS, Port State Control will be checking to ensure compliance with the new regulations.

Inspections might require physical demonstrations of competency by your crew as well as evidence of inclusion of ECDIS operation procedures in your onboard safety management systems. This is in addition to basic certification described in Step 6.

Some commercial operators' vetting schemes will have similar demands and non-compliance with their requirements could put your ship off-hire.
