How to Install ENCs on Furuno ECDIS- Step by Step Guide

Honest Question: Do you like navigating on paperless ships ? I am not usually a betting man, but I'd wager that you love sailing on paperless ships. It makes the navigation so much easier. More than navigation, it makes the tedious process of correction of paper charts less cumbersome. I am big fan of ECDIS and I believe that our Industry need to expediate in producing more advanced navigation data. By more advanced data I mean, where all the correction to the ENCs would be possible with just one click. The navigators will then concentrate more on something that they are suppose to do: NAVIGATION. But while we wait for the advanced data amagement for ECDIS, we must know the present ECDIS procedures. Right now the process involves more than few clicks,instead it is a process. I have earlier written about importing ENCs for JRC ECDIS. And I wanted to cover more makes of the ECDIS. So in this post I will cover the process of ordering ENCs using Chartco and then installing it on Furuno ECDIS. Let us start !!! Step 1: Know what ENCs you require for your Voyage The first step is to shortlist the ENCs that you would require for your next voyage. Let us assume that right now the ship is at Jubail.

Really excellent sir, I am a cadet . I never see my officer request cell permit for JRC ECDIS but he just insert usb flash to ECDIS then go chart portfolio,click “CHART” then C-MAP Ed. 3 then “UPDATE CHART”,after click “PRESS CREATE CHART UPDATE ORDER TO SEND VIA E-MAIL”and select“Zone 0”to create the file and send it to UPDATES@C-MAP.NO.The procedure looks like totally different with yours. Kindly advise,Sir. Thank you

Jie, this post on Chartco with Furuno ECDIS. Looks like your ship has JRC ECDIS and C-Map for which this post will not be applicable.

Sir, your article is marvelous. In the era where each equipment on bridge has a strange and hard-to-read manual, I find your guides extremely useful. Making such comprehensive guide must be difficult and time consuming, and so I am truly grateful that you took your time to share your vast knowledge with me and other seafarers. Best Regards.

Dear Capt Rajeev. It is very nice to see you are sharing even the minute information and sharing your good knowledge which I think is extremely beneficial to juniors who are not taught well in institutes and by their superiors on board. You are doing a very good job. Best regards Capt Jitender

Great article sir. Topic: Updating BASE DVD You mentioned Step 1: update permit Step 2 : update Base DVD Step 3 : update to the latest week ( did you mean every weekly correction week 7/17, 8/17, 9/17, 10/17, and so on till week 17/2017 ???? ) I think you can load the latest weekly correction directly after the base DVD of week 6/2017. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you sir
