Delivery of courses on JRC ECDIS has begun and ECDIS Ltd has successfully delivered JRC training on several continents already.
JRC has built up a very sound reputation for delivering and supporting robust and reliable navigation and communications equipment for use in one of the harshest environments on earth. JRC ECDIS are ergonomically designed to enhance the working environment and man/machine interfaces, providing continuous position and navigational safety information.
John van Gelder from JRC Europe said, "We are delighted to announce our partnership with ECDIS Ltd, a company known for its well trained staff and their electronic navigation experience. Even with the IMO vessel specific installation deadlines still to enter into force, many ship owners have already chosen paperless sailing and for us it was a natural choice to partner with ECDIS Ltd, which is something that will greatly benefit owners, ship managers and undoubtedly officers on the bridge today and for many years to come."
