The "Alarm" section focuses on one of the most critical functions of ECDIS - the alarm and alert system. In this section, you will learn how the ECDIS system helps the crew respond promptly to various navigational events and potential hazards. Here, you will find instructions on how to use the "Alarm" button, a key element for ensuring the safety of the vessel and crew.
The ECDIS alarm system includes several important features, such as viewing and acknowledging alerts, configuring alarm settings, and interacting with the Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System (BNWAS).
Using the ECDIS alarm system ensures timely notification of navigational risks and other significant events, enabling the crew to take necessary actions to prevent emergencies and ensure onboard safety.

Note. Each time an alert is acknowledged, a notification message is sent to the BNWAS.
When alerts are acknowledged, the system automatically sends notifications to the Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System (BNWAS), providing additional monitoring and safety on the bridge.
BNWAS notifications help maintain constant oversight and control over the onboard situation, enhancing the safety of the vessel and crew.
