HES-600 ECDIS by HMAP

The HES-600 ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System) by HMAP is a highly advanced navigation solution designed to meet the evolving safety and compliance needs of today’s commercial and offshore vessels. Engineered in Singapore by HMAP, an IMO-compliant marine electronics manufacturer, the HES-600 delivers accurate digital navigation, route planning, and situational awareness in a user-friendly and rugged platform.

This ECDIS is fully compliant with SOLAS regulations and supports seamless integration with navigational and communication systems such as radar, AIS, GPS, and VDR. It replaces traditional paper charts with high-precision ENC (Electronic Navigational Chart) displays, reducing human error and enhancing real-time decision-making on the bridge.

The HES-600 ECDIS offers superior chart visualization through a high-resolution widescreen display that presents detailed hydrographic data and vessel positioning with remarkable clarity. Navigators can monitor ship movement, detect hazards, and analyze environmental conditions in real-time. With multiple layers and zoom functionality, the system helps crews maintain awareness and chart optimal, safe routes even in congested or shallow waters.

One of its standout features is automatic route monitoring and alarm management. This function alerts the crew if the vessel deviates from a set course or encounters navigational risks such as shallow waters, restricted areas, or traffic zones. It also supports voyage planning tools, route editing, and predictive tracking to optimize fuel efficiency and schedule adherence.

Built with a focus on simplicity and reliability, the HES-600 features an intuitive user interface with clear menus, drag-and-drop functions, and touchscreen capability. Even with minimal training, crew members can operate the system efficiently. It also supports periodic software updates to ensure compatibility with the latest chart data and regulations.

Designed to endure harsh marine environments, the HES-600 is housed in a rugged enclosure suitable for use on the bridges of merchant ships, tankers, passenger vessels, and offshore platforms. Its durable hardware and software stability reduce downtime and keep operations running smoothly.
