The new requirements in ECDIS training from the STCW 2010 Manila Amendments, the ISM Code and consequently tough Port State Control regulations mean that flexible and hands-on, type-specific, training has become an essential for today’s seafarers. |
The mandatory requirement for type-specific training came into force on 01 January, 2012 independent of the schedule for the fitting of ECDIS to new ships, which will only begin on 01 July 2012. The training requirement affects every officer moving to a ship with an unfamiliar ECDIS brand. PSC will therefore be looking for clear evidence that the OOWs are competent with the installed equipment. |
Deficient competences in the handling of navigation consoles by bridge officers do constitute a danger in the safe operation of a ship.

Equally Flag States word their own requirements variously. |
