Abstract:

The ships navigation safety in the ports is always a matter of primary concern in the task ofensuring maritime safety. To do this, charts are an indispensable tool, especially electronic charts. Electronic charts have advanced features and the ability to connect with the peripheral sensors. One of the electronic charts management software is the ECDIS (the software has been official accepted by the IHO) which is a powerful tool for ships’ navigation. In order to establish the electronic chart, we apply the IHO procedure and follow the international standards. The ECDIS software has been used to manage the electronic charts in our system. This article will present an overview of the electronic charts and build experimental electronic charts for the navigation into HICT port, Hai Phong city.
