3 Display of SENC Information

  3.1 ECDIS should be capable of displaying all SENC information.

  3.2 SENC information available for display during route planning and route monitoring should be subdivided into three categories, display base, standard display, and all other information (see appendix 2).

  3.3 ECDIS should present the standard display at any time by a single operator action.

  3.4 When a chart is first displayed on ECDIS, it should provide the standard display at the largest scale available in the SENC for the displayed area.

  3.5 It should be easy to add or remove information from the ECDIS display. It should not be possible to remove information contained in the display base.

  3.6 It should be possible for the mariner to select a safety contour from the depth contours provided by the SENC. ECDIS should give the safety contour more emphasis than other contours on the display.

  3.7 It should be possible for the mariner to select a safety depth. ECDIS should emphasize soundings equal to or less than the safety depth whenever spot soundings are selected for display.

  3.8 The ENC and all updates to it should be displayed without any degradation of their information content.

  3.9 ECDIS should provide a means of ensuring that the ENC and all updates to it have been correctly loaded into the SENC.

  3.10 The ENC data and updates to it should be clearly distinguishable from other displayed information, such as, for example, that listed in appendix 3.
