Most ships now have Electronic Chart Display Information Systems
MOST ships trading internationally are equipped with Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS), according to the latest figures published by the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO).
Of an estimated 41,500 internationally trading ships around the world, 24,300 or 58 per cent are now using an ENC (Electronic Navigational Chart) service on ECDIS as a result of the UN's Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) mandated carriage of ECDIS.
Moreover, when those that do not trade internationally are included, 45 per cent of all ships that are subject to the SOLAS regulations are ECDIS ready.
On this basis of this positive trajectory for ECDIS adoption, the UKHO believes that the shipping industry is broadly on course to comply with the SOLAS-mandated timetable for ECDIS carriage across the global fleet by the end of this decade.
