K-Bridge Electronic Chart Display and Information System - ECDIS system, is a navigation information system that displays selected information from the electronic navigational charts with positional information from navigation sensors. The system is designed to assist the mariner in route planning and route monitoring, and by displaying additional navigation-related information.

Chart types

The ECDIS system uses official vector charts and accepts CM-93 vector charts from C-Map and is compatible with ARCS from The United Kingdom Hydrographic Office. This means a world-wide coverage of electronic charts.

ECDIS chart formats

• C-Map CM 93 edition 2
• C-Map CM 93 edition 3
• C-Map ENC
• S-57 edition 3
• S-63 including Primar and IC-ENC (encrypted S-57 charts)
• DNC (Digital Nautical Charts) available as an option
