5.33 The Display of Charts

  5.33.1 The radar system may provide the means to display ENC and other vector chart information within the operational display area to provide continuous and real-time position monitoring. It should be possible to remove the display of chart data by a single operator action.

  5.33.2 The ENC information should be the primary source of information and should comply with IHO relevant standards. Status of other information should be identified with a permanent indication. Source and update information should be made available.

  5.33.3 As a minimum, the elements of the ECDIS Standard Display should be made available for individual selection by category or layer, but not as individual objects.

  5.33.4 The chart information should use the same reference and co-ordinate criteria as the radar/AIS, including datum, scale, orientation, CCRP and stabilization mode.

  5.33.5 The display of radar information should have priority. Chart information should be displayed such that radar information is not substantially masked, obscured or degraded. Chart information should be clearly perceptible as such.

  5.33.6 The display of radar information should have priority. Chart information should be displayed such that radar information is not substantially masked, obscured or degraded. Chart information should be clearly perceptible as such.
