Mark Broster, Managing Director of ECDIS Ltd, says,

“It represents another milestone in our company that we have partnered with such a large, well respected and truly global ECDIS manufacturer.  However, our aim remains the same, to represent all ECDIS manufacturers in order to facilitate the highest standards of ECDIS training, whether it is generic 1.27 or type specific training both statically and portably worldwide.  With our reputation as the leading authority on training and consultancy in the still-emerging and complicated world of ECDIS, being the appointed JRC training partner will undoubtedly benefit the mariner at sea.”

Malcolm Instone, Director of Operations & Standards, adds,

“Considerable time and effort goes into the development of our ECDIS courses to ensure that they are of the highest quality, and the new JRC courses are no different.  ECDIS Ltd’s comprehensive course content is delivered by consummate professionals with extensive knowledge and experience of navigating with ECDIS.  The result is the very best ECDIS training available anywhere in the world.”

Mr John van Gelder at JRC Europe, adds,

“We are delighted to announce our partnership with ECDIS Ltd., a company known for its well trained staff and their electronic navigation experience.  Even with the IMO vessel specific installation deadlines still to enter into force, many ship owners have already chosen paperless sailing and for us it was a natural choice to partner with ECDIS Ltd., which is something that will greatly benefit owners, ship managers and undoubtedly officers on the bridge today and for many years to come.”
