Adam Kerr, former director of the International Hydrographic Organization and an early driving force behind the development and use of ECDIS, was instrumental in its early development and adoption. The authors are greatly indebted to him for his insight and useful suggestions. The targeted audience includes electronic-chart user groups such as maritime users (navigators, ship-owners), ECDIS producers/developers (manufacturers, data providers, hydrographers…), maritime authorities (testers, port state control…), ECDIS trainers (teachers at maritime schools and other training institutes), maritime students and ECDIS trainees.
