7.1.1 Ship Info Command
ECDIS provides a feature that increases the accuracy of the display of naviga-
tional data. The Ship Info command is where you enter the dimensions of the
vessel, as well as specify where the navigational antennas are located.
ECDIS uses the entered information in many ways. First, it draws the ship sym-
bol so that it is proportional to the specified vessel size. More importantly, be-
cause ECDIS knows where on the ship the antennas are located, it can offset
the ship symbol from that point, giving you a more accurate representation of
your position relative to other objects. In addition, ECDIS uses the information to
more accurately draw tracks and the course line, as well as to calculate the nec-
essary safety alarms.
Procedure: (see Figure: 7−2)
Step 1 Select the ship menu (see Figure: 7−1).
Step 2 Select Ship Info... The dialog box appears.
Only Safety Contour and Safety Depth can be changed. All other values
can only be modified in service mode.
