Sažetak
With the mandatory introduction of ECDIS navigation system (starting on 1st July 2012 for the new passenger ships over 500 GT and new tankers over 3000 GT, in force until 1st July 2018, terms depending on the type of vessel and GT), its role has become dominant in the process of maritime voyage planning and realization. Maritime accidents caused by navigational errors are in many ways related to the use of ECDIS. This includes its insufficient usage in planning and realization of the voyage, inadequate implementation of ECDIS in SMS, or ECDIS features that allow unwanted interaction of specific security functions and therefore cause their inoperability. The purpose of this paper is to determine the deck officers’ level of knowledge and usage of ECDIS by means of analysis of their ability to use the system and their understanding of the ECDIS safety functions settings. With this in mind, a single-blind study was designed and implemented, during which participants using Transas ECDIS system showed their skills in a practical example of voyage planning and realization. Also, they gave answers to the questions in the corresponding survey. The practical task included the creation of the navigational route Rotterdam PS - Ceuta PS for the ship (a chemical tanker with predefined draft, speed), and chart plotting of the content of NAVTEX message related to the shipping area. Having analyzed the results, correlation between their previous training, experience, and achieved results was observed. Consequently, certain conclusions were made, and guidelines for further ECDIS course training for seafarers have been proposed. The acquired knowledge can be applied in the training of full-time students under the mandatory STCW courses.
