It encourages operators to practise using every function and technique available on ECDIS, such as new automatic functions for creating 'no-go' alarms, 3D ENC functionality and ECDIS safety settings. A revised introduction chapter details the latest IMO Performance Standards for ECDIS equipment.
The 2025 edition contains expanded content on the Port State Control, Audits and Inspections.
