The following information are partly coming from technical data bases available on builders websites (mostly ABB and Alsthom) and partly from the very experienced master Pietro Esposito who accepted in June 2002 to spend some moments giving me the practical results of its own experience on the azipod handling on the passenger vessels European Stars and European Vision.
The first of our following links is for the IMO Resolution MSC232, which provides information on the adoption of the revised standards for Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS). Our second download provides information on a backup to an ECDIS system. Please click on the following links for more information.
