Plan:

• voyages and create route plans in ECDIS
• relevant operations related to the vessel's operation
• use of shipbased and land-based electronic navigation systems

Perform:

• create a route plan as a tool to secure the voyage in ECDIS

• sail in accordance with the applicable rules for the waters in which the vessel is located
• sail in accordance with international rules to avoid collisions at sea (COLREG)
• use steering control to secure the voyage in relation to the applicable waters and the rules of the road.
• quality assurance of information from electronic navigation aids, use varied modes and tools in electronic navigation aids to ensure the quality of the vessel's position in relation to the route plan and the surroundings.
