Headway ECDIS

The HEADWAY ECDIS is an advanced Electronic Chart Display and Information System that meets the stringent requirements and specifications set by IEC, IMO, and IHO. This comprehensive system seamlessly integrates with various navigation and communication equipment, including AIS, GPS, ARPA, Gyro Compass, Speed Log, Echo Sounder, and Autopilot. By combining and processing diverse information such as maritime geography, vessel sailing states, navigation environment, and dynamics of multiple target vessels, the HEADWAY ECDIS enables essential functions for navigation, collision-avoidance assistance, and route management. One of the key features of the HEADWAY ECDIS is its compatibility with C-MAP Global Chart, adhering to the IHO-S57/S63 standard. The system also complies with IHO S-52 rules, ensuring accurate and reliable chart visualization. It supports auxiliary navigation by providing timely acoustic and light alarms for dangerous situations based on established routes. Additionally, it utilizes AIS and ARPA integration to assist in collision-avoidance.

The system offers navigation administration features such as route layout and track management, as well as automatic recording of logs. It provides expansion capabilities to access information about the current vessel and its surroundings via a ground center, enabling monitoring of multiple vessels simultaneously. The system allows for efficient chart information inquiry, enabling searches for specific positions, sea-routes, water-depth, ocean-current, and object-mark. With user-friendly operation and a simple interface, the HEADWAY ECDIS ensures ease of use and assists crew members in grasping critical information swiftly.
