10.4. Safety

● Open Config menu and press Safety button.

10.4.1. Safety Depth / Contour

The values are calculating based on the ship’s config data and used when drawing dangers.

NOTE 1: The Safety Depth parameter depends on the Safety Depth Increasing (% of Draught)

and actual Ship Draught (from the Ship Setup menu) values.

• Safety Depth (m) - the parameter specifies the minimum depth of individual soundings

and underwater hazards that is required to avoid the vessel grounding. This parameter

affects the chart display, the route check (if XTL overlaps shallow object), and the look-

ahead watchdog alarm (an alarm is triggered on in case the look ahead sector overlaps a

shallow object). Shallow soundings are displayed in black whereas safe soundings are

displayed in grey. Dangerous underwater hazards are marked with an isolated danger

symbol.

• Safety Contour (m) - the safety contour separates chart areas with safe water (i.e. deep

enough) from those with unsafe water (e.g. too shallow). It is up to the operator to decide

which value is considered to be safe for navigation. This parameter affects the chart

display, route check (route check error if XTL overlaps safety or nearest bigger depth

contour). The safety contour is displayed as thick black line which must not be crossed by

the vessel.

• Shallow Contour – the safety contour is used to split the chart into areas safe for

navigation and those which are not. The shallow contour is used to further subdivide the

unsafe areas (shallow and very shallow).

• Deep Contour – the deep contour is used to subdivide the safe areas (deep and very

deep).


NOTE 2: Default settings:

- Default value of the Shallow Contour = 3 meters - Default value of the Safety Contour = 10 meters - Default value of the Safety Depth = 10 meters - Default value for the Deep Contour = 20 meters

NOTE 3: Safety Contour rules.

Safety contour cannot be (due to the ENC layers and 4 shades):

- less than the Shallow contour, otherwise (if adjusted) it pushes down the Shallow Contour value within the Safety Contour value.

- bigger than the Deep contour, otherwise (if adjusted) it pushes up the Deep Contour value within the Safety Contour value.

- Safety Contour is always in between of Shallow Contour and Deep Contour, but might be equal to any of them, if adjusted, according to the rules above.

NOTE 4: During the New Pilotage session - Safety Depth and Safety Contour rules:

Ship Static data including Ship Draught is accepted automatically from the Pilot Plug

sensor in use (otherwise, it should be specified manually for the fully independent sensors

at the initial pilotage stage) with the reception of the first VDO5 message from the ownship

Class A. Safety Depth and Safety Contour are calculated and adjusted automatically

and simultaneously as Ship Draught + Safety Depth Increasing (% of Draught).

- This Safety Depth value is applied to the Safety Contour parameter.

- Shallow Contour is by default 3 meters and will not be changed if the calculated Safety

contour is not less than the Shallow contour.

- Deep Contour is by default 20 meters and will not be changed if the calculated Safety

contour is not bigger than the Deep contour.

- Safety Depth cannot be less than the Ship Draught value (safety related case).

Pilot may correct all afore-mentioned parameters manually after that and manual corrections for

those parameters will not be re-written automatically (due to the constant AIS Pilot Plug feed with

VDO5 messages, once per 6 minutes) during that pilotage session.

• Two Shades – when it enabled, only two shades of blue are used to color depth areas.

• Show Safety Contour – allows to draw Safety Contour on the chart.

• Show Safety Depths – allows to draw Safety Depth areas on the chart.

• Safety Depth Increasing (% of Draught) – This is the UKC margin. It increases the

Safety Depth value on a delta dependent on the own ship Draught value.


10.4.2. Watchdog

The Watchdog is used to define a look-ahead sector ahead of the vessel. This sector is constantly

scanned for dangerous objects which must be avoided (e.g. underwater hazards, aids to

navigation, shallow water, restricted areas, etc.). As soon as the look-ahead sector overlaps a

dangerous object an alarm is triggered on. Where:

• Check Safety – enable / disable the Safety Check for the selected route.

• Safety Figure Radius (nm) – adjust range for the watchdog sector.

• Safety Figure Angle (deg) – adjust angle for the watchdog sector.

• Safety Minimum Speed (kn) – adjust the minimal own ship speed for the watchdog safety

alarms.

• Watchdog Alarms – enable / disable the Watchdog Alarms.

10.4.3. Collision Avoidance

• Safety AIS Distance – minimum safety distance to AIS target.

• Safety AIS CPA – minimum safety CPA to AIS target.

• Safety AIS TCPA – minimum safety TCPA to AIS target.

• Safety AIS CCP – minimum safety CCP to AIS target.

• Safety AIS TCCP – minimum safety TCCP to AIS target.

• AIS Alarms – option to enable / disable the AIS related alarms.

• Meeting Point Calculation – option to calculate and draw meeting points on the route.

• Safety AIS Distance to Meeting Point – threshold for danger distance to meeting point.

• Safety AIS Time to Meeting Point - threshold for danger time to meeting point.

• Meeting Point XTE Threshold (cab) - threshold for the XTE limit for the meeting point

calculations.

• Meeting Point Delta Course – parameter for filtering the vessels sailing at a big angle to

our route for the meeting point calculations.

• Meeting Point Minimal Speed Threshold – parameter for slow vessels filtering during

meeting point calculations.

• Meeting Point Minimal Ship Length - parameter for small vessels filtering meeting point

calculations.

10.4.4. Area Alarms

Here you can select the areas in which the alarm will trigger. An alarm will be triggered as soon

as the vessel’s look-ahead sector overlaps one or more of the selected chart features. The list is

also used in the route check. If one of the selected items overlaps the XTE area of the checked

route an alarm will be generated.

10.4.5. Route Monitoring

In the section you can tune the alarm behavior:

• Beep on Alert – the application will generate a sound signal when an alert occurs.

• XTE Alarms – will generate alarm, if the vessel will leave the XTD corridor


• Waypoint Approach Sound Alerts - the application will generate a voice warning when

approaching to a waypoint.

• Calculate Wheel Over Position – option to draw the additional wheel-over point on the

route, where ship needs to start the turn maneuver.
