On modern ships the ECDIS systems have become undoubtedly an essential part of Maritime Industry in terms of Safety and Security on board, and it is therefore necessary to have a Marine Deck Officer who is totally proficient. This fact has also been acknowledged by the IMO in the amended STCW Code, which now requires the deck officers to have profound working knowledge of the ECDIS system. ECDIS is also part of the relevant safety equipment for which, according to the ISM Code, a specific training for the crew is required. This will be checked not only through Vetting, but also by Port State Control.
