ECDIS for Maritime Pilots
01
Course Description
Maritime pilots are in a different situation from ships' bridge crews when it comes to the operation of ECDIS. They do not manage the system files or input and update data. Therefore, not all subjects covered in the IMO Model Course and TST Course are directly relevant to a Pilot‘s job. The course covers both generic topics and type-specific familiarisation that specifically addresses the Maritime Pilots’ needs.
