What PSC officers look for
- ECDIS not using official ENCs for planned voyage
- Back-up arrangement not ready or not tested
- Safety settings incorrect or crew cannot explain XTE and safety contour
- Licence or permit for ENC cells expired
- Master's ECDIS familiarisation not documented
Typical root causes
- Passage plan copied without updating cell permit
- Training focused on paper chart fleet habits
- Software update deferred causing compatibility issues
- Assumption that raster charts satisfy ECDIS carriage
Corrective action (example)
Install required ENC permits; configure safety settings per company policy; test back-up; document familiarisation.

Pre-voyage ECDIS audit in passage planning procedure; fleet ECDIS competency refresher.
