The Simrad CS60 series ECDIS/ECS systems have the unique capability of combining both a monitoring

and a planning mode. All safety functions are continuously monitored even when route planning.

In monitoring mode, the position of the vessel is displayed in real time on the chart. The ship’s outline and

size is displayed with actual vessel heading, a COG and SOG vector and actual track. The vessel can be

displayed in relative or true motion.

All Simrad Marine Computers are made to serve the demands of the professional marine industry and are

not on the shelves industry PCs which are used by most other manufacturers. Simrad believes that a ves-

sel’s primary navigation system deserves better. The computers are type approved according to IEC 60945

and the chart systems carry a 2 year warranty to back it up. All systems come standard with a total system

recovery feature, so in a case of breakdown the system can be restored to its previous state after repairs

have been performed.

By activating the interface to an ARPA radar, moving targets and operator selected “fixed points“ can be

displayed. Other vessels are then shown in real time on the chart, color coded depending on possibility for

collision.

Planning of a route and the definition of waypoints is very simple using either a trackball or numeric keyboard. A pan function ena-

bles the operator to move around in the chart. To view any position in the world, the “Pan To” function can be used for viewing the

and recalled whenever necessary.

Zooming in the chart may be

performed in numerous ways.

Also as a defined zoom area.

AIS targets are shown in real
