Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC) is the human modern science navigation equipment technology that converts nature geographical physical information features to electronic date sets information features is the display picture system that supports all marine navigation. In addition, enabling the mariner to operate and execute all navigation planning, control and monitoring for safety navigation from one place to another. ECDIS equipment complying with SOLAS requirements can use as an alternative to paper charts. The key point is to reduce the navigational workload compared to using the paper chart. The paper assessed the safety setting such as safety contour Setting, Shallow contour settings, deep contour setting and analyses The main common navigation equipment failures such as ECDIS which tend to loose position (position of cursor) because of power interruption and an untimely chart update also cause the vessel to deviate from control vessel sailing along desired track. In addition, paper recommended the navigator should transfer navigation to the back-up system. The actions to taken in the case of an ECDIS Failure and solutions in order to keep the system running. The future ECDIS functions should be providing information support for the full realization of navigation automation.
