AMSA又憋大招了
2016年4月，AMSA发布2016第8号marine notice提醒相关方加强船舶电子海图的规范使用，并明确AMSA将加强检查力度，2017年5月AMSA再次发布2017年6号marine notice对当前使用非官方电子海图的情况进行通报并明确将针对该行为加强监管，两期安全警告可以留言获取，检查策略这里也有额本文依据NK搜集到的AMSA关于ECDIS相关缺陷，分析整理，提醒相关方注意。
| matchAMSA 检查要点 | 缺陷情况 | ||
| 总缺陷 | AMSA缺陷 | ||
| 1 | Is ECDIS being used for navigation? (include ships using ECDIS not listed in SE certificate) | 18(3) | 11(1) |
| 2 | Is the ECDIS type-approved? | 4(2) | |
| 3 | Has the ECDIS been maintained to the latest applicable IHO standards and as may be required by its type approval? | 1 | |
| 4 | Is the ECDIS operating satisfactory? | 17 | 9 |
| 5 | Is the ECDIS using appropriate official electrinic charts with latest updates and corrections as applicable? | 10(4) | 7(3) |
| 6 | Does the ECDIS have adequate and up-to-date paper chars as back-up arrangement? | 7(1) | |
| 7 | Are the officers in charge of navigational watch appropriately trained and competent to use ECDIS? | 30(1) | 23(1) |
| 8 | Are there appropriate procedures documented in the ship's Safety Management System (SMS) for the effective operation of ECDIS | 23(3) | 19(3) |
| TOTAL | 110(14) | 69(8) | |
上表中括号中数据为滞留缺陷，在统计到的所有110个缺陷中，其中69个是AMSA开具的，占比高达62.7%，在14个滞留缺陷中，AMSA开具了8个，占比57.1%。可见澳大利亚是开具电子海图类缺陷的主要国家，按照AMSA的风格，及刚刚发布的安全通告，该国将继续加强电子海图的检验，另外2017年的CIC主题是solas第五章的航行安全，电子海图的检查依然是个重点。
根据对上述缺陷的统计分析，AMSA的检查涉及人员操作ECDIS的缺陷占了最大比例，对人员操作性的检查是一个重点，主要检查：
-fix ship's position manually
-alarms and warnings display
-restore a record of completed route
-setting the appropriate depths e.g safety depth, shallow water depth for the course
-change safety depth setting
-plot of vessels position manually
另外海事安全通告上提到的以下几个方面也将是今后检查的重点：
-familiarization with available functions
-familiarization with the menu structure
-display setup setting of safety values
-recognition of alarms and malfunction indicators and action to be taken
-route planning
-route monitoring
-changing over to backup systems
-loading charts and licenses
-updating of software
感谢各位的捧场，尤其是打赏的几位朋友，您的鼓励是我的动力。
