This new edition features two publication volumes presented in a slipcase.

ECDIS Procedures Guide Volume 1 has been significantly updated to reflect all the latest software, hardware, documentation, PSC/audit skill gaps, and best practice procedures in ECDIS navigation. It contains all ECDIS navigation principles, standards, documentation compliance and PSC preparation. All recommendations are designed to accompany a ship’s safety management system (SMS).

Type Specific Information Volume 2 introduces Type Specific ECDIS Quick Reference Guides. These enable navigators to quickly identify the differences between systems, and improve familiarisation. A brand-new checklist to maintain system performance and hardware, including all new 2022 legally required hardware options, has been created and included.

These standards are useful for all types of LPG carriers, regardless of size, and are relevant for all types of LPG cargo operations. This includes traditional cargo transfer operations at berth, ship-to-ship transfer operations and LPG carriers with LPG fuel systems. It is the responsibility of the owner to decide the level and type of training required, as part of a formal competence management system.

This new document updates and replaces the previous edition LPG Shipping Suggested Competency Standards (2008).
