How would you apply ECDIS in a situation where navigational charts are unavailable?

• rely entirely on radar and manual plotting.

• Utilize ECDIS to provide updated electronic charts for safe navigation.

• calculate engine performance to guide the vessel.

• Contact another vessel for chart information.

In what ways can the SENC (System Electronic Navigational Chart) data be analyzed to enhance route planning and navigational safety?

• By reviewing SENC data to avoid hazards and optimize the route.

• By using SENC data only for storage and not actively for route decisions.

• By focusing on the vessel's speed rather than navigational data.

• By using SENC for weather forecasts rather than navigation.

Evaluate the impact of using ECDIS for navigational safety compared to traditional paper charts.

• ECDIS provides enhanced real-time data and decision support, improving safety.

• Paper charts offer more reliable and precise data than electronic charts.

• ECDIS is less reliable than paper charts due to possible electronic failures.

• ECDIS is only beneficial for crew entertainment.

How would you use the ECDIS to plan a voyage?

• By selecting the desired course and waypoints

• By inputting engine data.

• By contacting other vessels.

• By checking the weather forecast.

How would you use the ECDIS to monitor a vessel's position?

• By looking at the compass.

• By listening to the radio.

• By checking the engine performance.

• By comparing the charted course to the actual track

How would you use the ECDIS to detect potential hazards?

• By checking the weather forecast.

• By analyzing chart data for dangers.

• By listening to the radio.

• By looking at the horizon.

How would you evaluate the reliability of an ECDIS system in ensuring navigational safety during a long voyage?

• The brand of the ECDIS.

• The age of the ECDIS.

• The accuracy of the displayed information, availability of system backups, and integration with other navigational tools.

• The color of the display.

How would you determine the best course of action in case of an ECDIS failure?

• Panic and abandon ship.

• Rely solely on paper charts and other navigational equipment.

• Continue using the ECDIS regardless of the failure.

• Contact the manufacturer for immediate assistance.

What are the potential benefits and drawbacks of using ECDIS compared to paper charts?

• ECDIS is always better than paper charts.

• Paper charts are always better than ECDIS

• ECDIS offers advantages in terms of information display and updates, but relies on power and system integrity, while paper charts are independent but require manual updates.

• There are no significant differences between the two.

How would you assess the effectiveness of the ECDIS system in enhancing navigational safety on a particular voyage?

• By checking the number of alarms generated.

• By evaluating the accuracy of the displayed information and its contribution to safe navigation.

• By looking at the price of the ECDIS.

• By asking the captain's opinion.
