The impact of e-navigation on the development of ECDIS as decision support systems

Density of sea traffic and increasing number of ships requires application of new technologies in vessel traffic monitoring in order to find new solutions for existing problems. The solution is identified through application of e - navigation concept by connecting maritime institutions on shore with ships and vessels for better information sharing and integration. The implementation of e - navigation requires adaptation of existing navigation and communication systems, to this new concept. Aim of this paper is to present the ECDIS development possibility through requirements of e - navigation based on end-user needs. Given the large number of devices and systems used in navigation, ECDIS adaptation to e - navigation requirements makes sense only through a thorough understanding of user needs. By integrating all available information, organizing them into a database, and presenting them in specific fashion a suitable platform for decision-making in everyday ship navigation is created. Since the mandatory application of ECDIS onboard it has become ships primary navigation device, adaptation to the of e - navigation requirements would make it central decision support system onboard.
