Posidonia 2012 hosts free Admiralty Digital Integration Workshops
Date: May 22, 2012
After a number of popular sessions worldwide, we will be hosting our free Digital Integration Workshops in Athens at Posidonia 2012. Developed in conjunction with Captain Paul Hailwood, a renowned expert on ECDIS and integrated bridge operations, these Workshops are designed to help shipping companies plan for the requirements of the mandatory carriage of ECDIS and provide a clear and comprehensive checklist of actions at each stage of the transition.
The feedback we’ve received so far from attendees to previous workshops has been that training is their key priority on this journey. Interestingly though, at a recent event in Hamburg, the majority of delegates said legal requirements for the ECDIS Mandate were a top priority. Training and risk were also high on their list.

The popular workshops guided the audience through a simple, step-by-step process to support compliance with the ECDIS Mandate, and gave them a chance to ask any questions.

You’ve got to find your own ECDIS knowledge

A ship owner planning to install ECDIS from scratch has a mountain to climb. But as we are finding out through Admiralty’s digital integration workshops and the nine steps programme, knowing where to start need not be a mystery.
Once a company has established flag state requirements the first internal process should be to conduct an initial risk assessment – a process that shipping companies understand and are probably already using.
