The Australasian Marine Pilots Institute is presenting a webinar via Zoom about ports providing ECDIS routes and passage plans to ships as part of the pre-arrival process.

It will take place on Thursday 11 February 2021 at 19:00 AEDT (08:00 UTC) and is free for AMPI/IMPA/UKMPA/NZMPA members. Non-members are also welcome to attend.

AMPI has assembled a panel of experts who will talk about the human factors, bridge resource management and accident investigation aspects in addition to pilots who have implemented pre-arrival ECDIS routes in their own ports and the challenges that they have faced.

The webinar will also feature a technical expert from the UK Hydrographic Office to explain the technical issues around the generic RTZ format for sharing routes and upcoming improvements.

The webinar will also include an opportunity for participants to interact with the panel and ask questions.

Zoom login details will be provided to registrants 24 hours prior.

AMPI members need to login to register for the event, if you are unable to login to the website please email admin@ampi.org.au for a password reset.

Non-AMPI members should register by visiting www.ampi.org.au/event-4146823 and enter the code ‘guest’ when registering.

Opinion Titans: Google Maps versus ECDIS

by Melvin Mathews - published on 3 November 2020

Google Maps and ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System) can be considered to essentially serve the same purpose. While Google Maps is used for finding our way on land, the ECDIS facilitates navigation at sea.

Article Combinations Ladders: "1,000 combinations around" (by Arie Palmers)

by Arie Palmers, Netherlands - published on 13 July 2020

Before you, you see my third article on pilot boarding arrangements. After my two previous articles
(‘1000 ways to secure a pilot ladder’ and ‘1000 ladders around’, I have received a lot of feedback and
also questions to get deeper into the matter of combinations and embarkation platforms.

Video Spiral-Test -Manoeuvre for detailed identification of Yaw Stability using Samples of Cruise Ship

published on 29 September 2021

This video shows an introduction on the Spiral-Test-Manoeuvre and describes the procedure how to steer through this manoeuvre and measure the data needed. The results will be displayed in a characteristic diagram allowing to identify stable and unstable conditions and related, detailed information, e.g. spiral loop width and height, rudder angle of neutral effect. Samples of stable and unstable ship behaviour demonstrations will be shown by Fast Time Simulation using the SAMMON Planning tool.
