Kelvin Hughes Navigation ECDIS

NEW REGULATIONS COMPLIANT ECDIS

The new fully compliant ECDIS from Kelvin Hughes operates on an integrated display incorporating all the market-leading software functionality from the previous MantaDigital™ ECDIS, updated with new time-saving features for a truly multifunction networked navigation and situational awareness bridge system.
ECDIS

Kelvin Hughes ECDIS meets the new IEC 61174 Edition 4 standard and complies with ENC S-57 and S-63 and C-Map chart formats, including updates provided via online services.
With easy and fast installation, the system is multifunctional and compatible with the new Kelvin Hughes navigation radar display and bridge system, enabling the sharing of sensors over the Ethernet network and featuring a radar overlay option.

CAPABILITIES

• Commercial retrofit and new buildings
• Operates on an integrated display, incorporating all market-leading software functionality
• Uses the latest IHO standards
• Provides information such as anchorage area names with landmarks, lights and buoys viewable by efficiency and safety

VERSION 4 PRESENTATION LIBRARY

The ECDIS uses the latest IHO standards, specifically the latest presentation library version 4 within S-52. This contains instructions for the drawing engine within the ECDIS on displaying symbols, colours and line styles on the screen. This brings greater consistency in the display of the ENC data, reduces alarm fatigue and provides information such as anchorage area names with landmarks, lights and buoys viewable by hovering the cursor over the object.

INSTACHART

The efficient software architecture dramatically reduces the user’s waiting time, considerably improving efficiency and safety.

• ENC installation is now twice as fast.
• Chart redraw when altering the zoom level is almost instantaneous with no black screen.

MAIN BENEFITS

• Reduced waiting time for the user due to the new software architecture
• Improvement in efficiency and safety
• Greater consistency in the display of the ENC data, reducing alarm fatigue
• Compliant with the new IEC 61174 Edition4 standard, ENC S-57 and S-63 and C-Map chart formats
