  2. ECDIS should give an alarm or indication as selected by the mayor if within a specific time set by the mirror own ship will cross the boundary of a prohibited area of a geographic area which special conditions exist.
  3. An alarm should be given when the specified cross track limit for deviation from the planned route is exceeded.
  4. An indication should be given to the mariner, if continuing on its present course and speed over a specified time or distance set by the mariner own ship will pass closer than a user specified distance from a danger.
  5. An alarm should be given by ECDIS when the ship reaches a specified time or distance set by the mariner in advance of a critical point on the plan route.
  6. The positioning system in the SENC should be on the same geodetic data. ECDIS should give an alarm if this is not the case.
120
Q
