Once you’ve chosen an ECDIS manufacturer, rst review its Type Approval certi cate – checking its acceptability to the ag state. The actual installation will also require surveying, either by the ag state or a classi cation society acting on its behalf. Anticipating survey requirements before installation will save time later.
