TOTEM ECDIS is a fully approved ECDIS by Totem Plus that in many respects is revolutionary. Known for its intuitive and easy operation, TOTEM ECDIS comes with numerous benefits and new features. As well as offering Dynamic Chart Licensing (pay ONLY for charts you use), an important feature is the ability to receive and send messages via AIS. Another innovative feature is the COLREGS ADVISER, a collision avoidance decision support tool. The COLREGS ADVISER analyses the position, course and speed of all the ships in the vicinity, and advises the Master or OOW on the best course to take in order to avoid collision in accordance with the legal requirements of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972 (COLREGS).
