K-BRIDGE ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display System)

The K-Bridge Electronic Chart Display and Information System – ECDIS system, is a fully compliant and easy to operate ECDIS for new builds and retrofit installations.

ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display System) FUNCTIONS

• Radar video overlay from K-Bridge ARPA radar.
• Autopilot control with simplified “curved EBL”.
• “Active lights” display for simplified visual position confirmation.
• Docking function provides prediction of ship movement.
• Full route planning and validation functions.
• Continuous monitoring of own ship in relation to route plan and waters.
• Displays up to 100 Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA) tracked targets.
• Displays targets and information from AIS – Automatic Identification System.
• EBL / VRM gives the correct range and bearing from own ship.
• Remote control of K-Bridge autopilot providing track-keeping functions.
• Echo sounder monitoring and recording of chart depth information.
• Voyage recording and replay.
• Navtex interface.
• IMO defined functions.
• Type approved.

CHART TYPES

The ECDIS system uses official vector charts and accepts CM-93 vector charts from C-Map, and is compatible with ARCS from The United Kingdom Hydrographic Office. This means a world-wide coverage of electronic charts. K-Bridge is a fully compliant and easy to operate ECDIS system for new builds and retrofit installations.

ECDIS CHART FORMATS

• C-Map CM 93 edition 2.
• C-Map CM 93 edition 3.
• C-Map ENC.
• S-57 edition 3.
• S-63 including Primar and IC-ENC (encrypted S-57 charts).
• DNC (Digital Nautical Charts) available as an option.

OPTIONS

• Slave displays with dedicated operator panel.
