ICS Welcomes IMO Action On ECDIS Performance
ISG Issue. 939
The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) - which represents global shipowners and 80% of the world merchant fleet - has welcomed the decision by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Sub-Committee on Safety of Navigation (2- 6 July in London) to take action to address operating anomalies with ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems), and to reject a proposal to establish a new recommended route for all ships in the Mozambique Channel that would have been approximately 1,000 miles long.
