Students enrolled on this week's ECDIS course with NAFC instructors Mark Fullerton (3rd from L) and Siddhartha Paul (R).

The course trains fishermen and other seafarers to use electronic chart display and information systems, rather than paper charts, to maintain a safe navigational watch. Demand for this training has been high and in response NAFC is running a series of week-long ECDIS courses over the next few months.
