The information provided
Equipment provides real-time skipper all the basic information you need:
- current location and the motion vector of the vessel;
- other positioning sensors connected;
- contour of the vessel in accordance with the specified parameters and scale of the map;
- of hazardous installations and areas on the map;
- radar / ARPA with the ability to work with radar targets;
- AIS-purposes with the ability to work with AIS targets.
Working with e-cards
All electronic mapping systems allow multiple card transactions:
- automatic download
- scaling;
- on / off various layers of information;
- obtain information on navigation facilities;
- issues determining the ship's position by conventional methods (range and bearing) using the built-in dedicated graphics editor;
- fixing e-cards, necessary for the operation;
- transition planning;
- displayed on the map along the route of textual information from the routing table (Passage Plan);
- executive management gaskets real voyage;
- creation of plans search and rescue operations;
- Enabling true or relative motion;
- implementation of orientation 'to the north', 'Exchange', 'route'.
Additional functions
Information from databases
System users have access to the following databases 'Transas' containing information to accelerate calculations and perform accurate calculations to optimize the transition and reduce fuel consumption in the upcoming flight:
- ports of the world;
- High tides and tidal currents;
- seasonal surface currents.
Route Planning
Route planning is possible in tabular and graphical mode based on electronic chart information. Creating a safe corridor within the parameters of motion (speed, vessel draft, stock under the keel, etc.) allows validation of the route for possible hazards within the recommended corridor for safe movement.
Availability planned route transition allows you to create a schedule of your boat on it, consider various options, taking into account the features of motion and planned activities of the crew on the route (alarms, exercises, etc.).
When working with the route skipper has the ability to:
- transmit data about the route to the main station on the backup (network version ECDIS);
- exchange routes with equipment GLONASS / GPS (if feasible in GLONASS / GPS);
- print out the route table and the recommended schedule of the vessel on the route;
- save routes on an external drive and restore them on another vessel (in the office) with the same software mapping system.
Electronic Logbook
When using the system on board all the information is automatically recorded in the electronic logbook. Recorded navigation data of connected subsystems used card, operator. The operator of the system may at any time make a forced entry, enter the information about the weather and your comments.
Alarm
Alarm system work is performed in accordance with international requirements, represented as a chime and / or display and is designed to prevent accidents.
Recording playback function transition (Play Back)
When the vessel is automatically archived recording of his route (track). Play Back function is used to view all the details of the last flight using track data and logbook. This functionality allows to analyze the movement of a ship on board the ship and the shipping company to arrange exercises in parsing emergencies.
