THE United Kingdom Hydrographic Office's (UKHO) representatives will discuss the implications for shipowners and operators of the recent updates to the International Hydrographic Organisation's (IHO) Electronic Nautical Charts (ENC) Standards at its ‘Living with ECDIS" seminars at Nor-Shipping from June 3-4.
The free-to-attend seminars will be presented by Captain Paul Hailwood, an expert on Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) and integrated bridge operations, and Tom Mellor.
Mr Mellor is the UKHO's head of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Support and Digital Standards and also the chairman of the ENC working group that assesses standards on behalf of the IHO.
‘Living with ECDIS" requires shipowners and operators, shipmanagers and serving officers to be constantly aware of changes in legal requirements, compliance and maintenance issues surrounding the adoption and ongoing management of ECDIS.
Mr Mellor will explain how these updates address the ambiguities and inconsistencies identified relating to the display of ENCs in ECDIS, as well as the importance of why shipping companies will need to comply with the new IHO Standards, a statement issued by the UKHO said.
"We have sought to ensure that the guidance we offer reflects the progress that shipowners and operators have made in their own use of ECDIS and the challenges they face at each stage," said Mr Mellor.
