Even where ECDIS is fitted on board prior to these entry dates, regulations and guidelines as laid down by the SOLAS Chapter V Regulations 18 & 19 and IMO Performance Standards (IMO Resolution A.817(19) or MSC.232(82)) must still be complied with.
In addition to hardware and compliance inspections, Australian Port State Control is also carrying out checks on the training of crew members on board. In order to comply with regulations, crew members using ECDIS must have both Generic and Type-Specific training.
Onboard procedures and documentation are also areas in with PSC will carry out checks and inspections.
