HOW TO SET ECDIS SAFETY PARAMETERS PARA METERS = SAFETY DEPTH + SHALLOW CONTOUR - Abhishek Sabharwal
SAFETY DEPTH / SAFETY CONTOUR:
Safety depth is considered to be the minimum depth required in which the vessel can safely navigate and any depths lower than that might compromise compromise the safety of the vessel. For all practical purposes purposes the safety depth depth is determined determined as follows; M.V ABCD Draft (static) - 12.5 mtrs Speed - 10 kts Assuming block coefficient : 0.7 (to simplify things) Squat (for confined waters): Cb x V(Square) / 50 = 0.7 x 10 x 10 / 50 = 1.40 mtrs. Assuming Height of Tide: 1.4 mtrs Ukc (required as per individual company policy) : 20 % of static draft (in coastal waters) = 20 x 12.5 / 100 = 2.5 mtrs. Safety Depth : = Draft + Squat + Ukc - Ht. of Tide = 12.5 + 1.40 + 2.5 - 1.4 = 15.0 mtrs. SHALLOW DEPTH / SHALLOW CONTOUR :
Shallow depth setting is considered to be the grounding depth i.e. the vessel will run aground at that depth. Therefore, for all practical purposes, the shallow depth is considered to be draft of the vessel.
i.e. Draft=12.5 mtr then Shallow depth=12.5 mtr.
Shallow depth=12.5 mtr; Nearest available contour=15mtr (as there are no 12.5 mtr contours). Which implies that when the shallow depth is set to 12.5 mtrs(~~15.0 mtrs) then all the areas falling inside this depth range will turn into dark blue colour, thus reminding the navigator of its shallow nature. Let’s see
an example as to how do such a setting affect the appearance of an ECDIS chart..... BEFORE (SHALLOW CONTOUR =0)
AFTER (SHALLOW CONTOUR=15.0 MTR)
DEEP CONTOUR:
Whereas Deep contour for all practical purposes is considered as a contour depth at which the shallow water effects might start having an effect on the manoeuvrability of the ship, which is taken as Deep Contour: 4 x draft of the vessel (standard accepted
Spot soundings doesnt form a mandatory requirement of an ECDIS feature and thereby is just an additional feature which might be found on certain ECDIS make types such as TRANSAS. If the spot sounding on an ECDIS is set to , say 60mtrs,then all depths on the chart greater 60 mtrs will get dissapeared and all those less than equal to 60 mtrs will be displayed in `bold` on the chart, as shown below.The main purpose of spot soundings is to eliminate clutter or unnecessary information from the chart in terms of depths. BEFORE (SPOT SOUNDING=0 MTRS)
AFTER (SPOT SOUNDING = 60 MTRS)
In the above figure we can clearly see that how setting a spot sounding removes unnecessary depths from the chart thereby reducing chart clutter. NOTE:
It is very important to understand that the settings of the above stated parameters is very important as it causes the safety frame/guard zone to trigger alarms for the vessel while
entering these depths. Which implies that if these settings are not correct then no alarms will be triggered or will not be triggered in time, and which might lead to catastrophic results.
