Ship profile management
SHIP’S PROFILE EDITION
To check the ship parameters of each ship stored in the ship’s profile database move the
cursor on top of each name and a window will displays the main parameters.
To edit the ship’s profile double click on the name or select the name and press Load to edit
the ship in the ship’s properties dialogue.
SHIPS’ PROFILE SELECTION
Right click on the button Ship’s parameters gives access to a list of ship’s profiles. To select a
ship, select its name in the list and press load.
Then all settings are changed and the chart is displayed accordingly to the safety parameters.
UPDATE OF OWN SHIP’S DATA
It will be possible to update ship data in the ship library by own-ship data received from the
pilot plug of the ship’s AIS transponder.
When receiving own ship data from the pilot plug for the first time after connecting to an AIS-
transponder, the software checks whether there are any discrepancies between these data
and the data (if any) of the same ship stored in the ship library.
If there are any discrepancies, or if the ship is not already present in the ship library, the
software presents data and discrepancies to the user, and ask whether the data in the ship
library shall be updated. The user has the option of selecting whether either existing data in
the ship library, or data received by the AIS shall be used as own-ship data for the following
pilotage.
