Abstract: | Charts, Sailing Directions (SDs) and other nautical publications constitute an information unit for the mariner. All relevant
charts and publications together provide the mariner with an overview of a particular sea area. SDs are publications for voyage
planning rather than for direct navigation. These days, the Electronic Chart Display Information System (ECDIS) is on the
way to become a digital information system, which should comprise all information relevant for the mariner. Therefore, the
integration of Sailing Directions information into the present ECDIS is necessary to obtain a comprehensive ECDIS, which makes
conventional SDs and other publications superfluous. |
