    Sector & Vector On JRC - MySeaTime

    Danger detection settings on a vessel's ECDIS system can define areas ahead of the ship to monitor for potential dangers using either vector areas or sector areas. These areas are defined by going to the alarm settings on the ECDIS and setting limits in the vector and sector section. Enabling these defined areas through the ownship/track settings then allows the ECDIS to trigger alarms if dangers are detected within the pre-warned monitoring zones.

    Danger detection settings

    Entering the safety settings will warn us with an alarm when vessel enters
    in shallow waters. But when it gives the alarm it could be too late by
    then.

    Danger detection settings can help in giving pre-warning of the dangers


    ahead. We only need to define the area in which we need the ECDIS to
    warn us.

    We can define the area in two ways

    Vector area

    Sector Area

    Vector area defines the area in length and width. Sector area defines the
    area in radius and width (angle).

    Vector area defines the area in length and width. Sector area defines the
    area in radius and width (angle).

    Let us define this area on JRC ECDIS. On JRC ECDIS go to Menu, Settings
    and then choose Alarm settings.
     This will open the Alarm settings pane.

    Under Vector and Sector section, you can define the area you want the
    ECDIS to look ahead. Once these areas are defined you can turn these on
    by going to “Ownship/Track” and then choosing “Settings”.
    You can then choose to either “Vector area” or “Sector area”. You can
    even go to alarm settings page by clicking on “Set alarm limit” from
    danger detection section.

    When you choose to display “Sector area”, it will look like this and ECDIS
    will trigger alarm if it detects any danger in this area.

    When you choose to display “Vector area”, it will look like this and ECDIS
    will trigger alarm if it detects any danger in this area.
