ECDIS Ltd provides Kelvin Hughes MantaDigital^TM Widescreen on board familiarisation

 

UK based ECDIS training and consultancy company ECDIS Ltd are pleased to announce the launch of their new on-board familiarisation course for Kelvin Hughes’ MantaDigital™ Widescreen software.

Kelvin Hughes’ newest ECDIS software has been on the market since 2012 and ECDIS Ltd has now produced its own training solution which meets the requirement of the ISM code and Safety Management System training requirements and is convenient for the marine and the shipping company.

John Ritchie, ECDIS Course Manager at ECDIS Ltd, says,

 

“Kelvin Hughes are constantly evolving, and a particularly strong example of this is the new MantaDigital^TM Widescreen software. We are delighted to be their international independent training partner and will continue to match the development of their ECDIS software with the highest standard of professional courses.”

 

Natalie Robson, Marketing Manager at ECDIS Ltd, adds,

 

“It has been a real pleasure getting to know another ECDIS system, allowing us to provide a realistic and balanced training course for the mariner. The MantaDigital^TM Widescreen has taken a fresh approach to ECDIS bearing little resemblance to the previous versions, highlighting the need for mariners to be trained in each system.”
