    Integrated Bridge Systems
    The Integrated Bridge Systems series by Dr Andy Norris FNI FRIN, published by
    The Nautical Institute, gives an up-to-date perspective on navigational techniques
    using the increasingly sophisticated equipment becoming available to bridge staff.
    Technology advances at an ever-increasing rate and provision of maritime training
    lags behind, leading to ineffective, inappropriate and dangerous use of equipment.
    These books provide a thorough grounding to help mariners.

    Vol 1 Radar and AIS


    All new radars are now required to have mandatory AIS Integration; this combined use
    of data is an innovative example of the power and capability of modern shipboard
    technology to view two completely separate systems on the same display. Operators
    will receive guidance and instruction on interpreting AIS radar and chart information.

    Radar and AIS builds on basic radar theory and target tracking knowledge, and looks
    to the future where new technology radars will provide enhanced performance. The
    new system’s approach to onboard integration is assessed and complex information is
    conveyed in a clear style, making this book a must-read for those operating radar and
    AIS systems.

    Vol 2 ECDIS and Positioning


    ECDIS and Positioning, larger than its companion guide and written especially for
    mariners, contains guidance on how to develop the new mindset needed to use ECDIS
    safely and effectively. It eases the transition into the inevitable jargon encountered in
    using electronic charts, and illustrates that ECDIS should not be considered as a way
    of using paper charts on screen.

    With the imminent mandatory carriage of ECDIS for certain classes of vessel, more
    understanding is needed of how accuracy problems occur when using electronically
    derived positions. There is little information written concerning the proper use of
    technology, therefore this guide will be invaluable to mariners.

    Technology will be of very little benefit in enhancing navigational safety if the


    watchkeeping officer is not fully trained and properly qualified in its use. The NI’s own
    research reveals that most mariners feel that more effective training is needed. As a
    step towards this, these best practice guides are essential reading for all serving
    officers, shipowners, operators, managers and training institutions.

    About the Author


    Ever since graduating in 1970 with a degree in electronics, Dr Andy
    Norris FNI has been involved in the design of navigational equipment
    for a variety of applications. After joining Kelvin Hughes as Technical
    Director in 1990 his concentration has been directed towards
    navigation systems for merchant ships. In 1998 he set up ChartCo
    Ltd, which distributes maritime data, including chart updates and
    weather forecasts, through a dedicated satellite communications link
    directly to ships at sea. Since 2003 he has been an independent consultant working
    in the maritime navigational sector.
    Through The Nautical Institute, he has steadily increased his direct contact
    with practising seafaring professionals. As a member of the Technical Committee
    of the NI he gets involved in many user issues concerning navigation
    technology. He attempts to bring about a better understanding between users,
    equipment manufacturers, training institutions and those concerned with navigation
    equipment standards.
    He is helped in this by being involved widely in the marine navigation world. He has
    been Chairman of Technical Committee 80 of the International Electrotechnical
    Commission since 1992. This committee, in close collaboration with IMO, writes the
    international equipment standards for shipborne navigational and communications
    equipment. In this role he participates in IMO meetings determining the future
    requirements for shipborne equipment.
    He is also a member of various UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency committees that
    form a UK view of future requirements. He is the author of volume one in The Nautical
    Institute’s series on Integrated Bridge Systems – Radar and AIS.
