6 The PROS of Using ECDIS and ENCs ECDIS is a very useful navigation tool, but does not replace the navigator. It is a cost effective option with significant potentials to save lives at Sea and reduce number of groundings. It was designed to make navigation safer and to reduce the workload on navigators. However, the efficiency and usefulness of the equipment is defined by the operating skill of the navigator, his understanding of the information displayed, his appreciation and management of any shortcomings of the equipment and his ability to make optimum use of the information in order to ensure safe navigation. This can only be achieved by proper training. Four aspects are to considered before You choose which product to install On board your vessels: SOFTWARE HARDWARE TYPE APPROVAL CHART SUPPLY
