ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System) is a computer-based navigation system and can be used as an alternative to paper chart navigation. It includes not only the visualisation of all paper chart information but also a wide range of other data required for navigational purposes. ECDIS provides a real-time display of crucial information and is capable of determining the ship’s position continuously.

 

MINTRA offers 18 different ECDIS Type-Specific Training Courses in collaboration with the leading ECDIS manufacturers in the industry, including JRC, Anschutz, Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine, Wartsila, Tokyo Keiki, Wartsila Voyage (Transas), Simrad, Kelvin Hughes, ChartWorld, Consilium & Martek.

 

Furuno FMD-3x00 and FEA-2x online training are also available now after agreement with Furuno Maritime Training Center.

 

ECDIS Type-Specific Training Courses are manufacturer-approved, and they comply with the IMO and Flag state requirements. The certificates contain the manufacturer logo and the details of the equipment covered along with the candidate name, date of birth, and nationality.

 

For authorities to verify the validity of a certificate, Safebridge maintains a candidate and certification database accessible to the relevant authorities via a QR code on the certificate.

 

The ECDIS TST courses are made available for 21 days, and the video tutorials have a duration of approximately 16 hours.  The courses are divided into three main features.

GuideMe is the core of Safebridge training. Through this mode, all training videos of the course can be accessed. GuideMe is divided into different modules, units and topics, to help the trainee to find relevant content easily.

FreePlay is the unique Safebridge feature that allows the use of the original software for the training. The trainee can apply the knowledge acquired in the GuideMe mode directly to the manufacturer’s original software.

TestMe is the exam mode that combines different questions related to the course content into one interactive exam. Upon successful test completion, a detailed report of the performance is displayed, and a certificate is sent via email.

 

Note: An IMO Model 1.27 training is a prerequisite to taking the Safebridge type-specific familiarization course.
