1.1 Introduction
The CS66 system
CS66 is a planning, monitoring and reporting system for
navigation.
CS66 displays the vessel position, speed and course in real time
in the chart, based on information received from navigational
sensors. The vessel’s symbol is displayed with actual heading,
and speed vectors may also be indicated. Chart information
critical to safe navigation defined by IMO will always appear on
the display, while other chart information may be switched off.
Based on speed and course information, the system generates
danger and grounding alarms, independent of mode of
operation.
The system includes route planning, and routes are planned
independent of the actual vessel position. The routes are
checked for dangerous position of waypoints and legs as the
route is planned. The routes are stored and may be recalled
whenever necessary. The system has no limitations to number of
waypoints in a route.
