Quote….
In accordance with the ISM Code each ship operator must make
sure that every master and deck officer has received ship
specific ECDIS training, in order to safely operate the ECDIS
equipment installed on board.
Accordingly, the responsibility for the implementation of specific
ECDIS training is by the company.

ship specific ECDIS equipment should be documented in an
appropriate manner. This familiarisation training supplements the
