The Simrad E5024 ECDIS is an IMO type-approved navigation system, designed[ds_preview] for use aboard SOLAS vessels subject to the ECDIS Carriage Mandate. »Ideal for vessels required to retrofit ECDIS to meet amended SOLAS requirements, the modular system offers either single-station or dual-station (PLECDIS) configurations«, Simrad stated. The software would give rapid access to critical features with quick access tiles and simplified route planning. Additional benefit of the E5024 is the Radar, AIS & ARPA overlay (Simrad Argus Radar compatible). It is designed for NAVTOR ENCs including UKHO (for AVCS), Primar, IC-ENC, and NOAA. The system supports a secondary display, delivering control of Ethernet-connected performance modules including radar, conventional echosounders, ForwardScan sonar, and StructureScan Imaging, in addition to third-party accessories such as FLIR cameras, CCTV, engine sensors, and other digital instrumentation.
