1. Introduction
The aim of this manual is to give the user some idea of the Navi-Planner operating principles and algorithms.
1.1. Terms and Definitions

Compilation Scale
The scale at which the data was compiled.
Corrupted Data
ENC data produced according to the IHO S-57 ENC product specification, but altered or modified during
production, transmission, or retrieval.
Display Base
The chart content which cannot be removed from the display. It is not intended to be sufficient for safe
navigation.
Display Scale
Ratio between a distance on the display and a distance on the ground, normalized and expressed as, for
example, 1:10 000.
Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS)
Navigation information system which with adequate backup arrangements can be accepted as complying
with the up-to-date chart required by regulation V/19 and V/27 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended,
by displaying selected information from a system electronic navigational chart (SENC) with positional
information from navigation sensors to assist the mariner in route planning and route monitoring, and if
required to display additional navigation related information.
Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC)
The database, standardized as to content, structure and format, issued for use with ECDIS by or on the
authority of a Government authorized Hydrographic Office or other relevant government institution, and
conforming to IHO standards.
Indication
Display of regular information and conditions, not part of alert management.
Non-ENC Data
Data not conforming to ENC data.
Official
By, or on authority of a government authorized Hydrographic Office or other relevant government institution.
Overscale
Display of the chart information on a display scale larger than the compilation scale.
Passage
Phase of a voyage between two ports or defined places of departure and destination.
Presentation Library
Implementation of the display specifications in IHO S-52 by de-coding and symbolizing the SENC.
Route
Prescribed courses and distances to be travelled from a specific point of origin to a specific destination. The
route consists of series of waypoints connected by legs.
Safety Contour
Borderline between safe and unsafe water based on depth defined by the mariner.

Safety Depth
Depth defined by the mariner, e.g. the ship’s draught plus under keel clearance, to be used by Navi-Planner
to emphasise sounding on the display equal to or less than this value.
Standard Display
The display mode intended to be used as a minimum during route planning and route monitoring.
Voyage
Journey of a vessel upon the seas, from one port to another, or to several ports. The voyage is generally a
term that includes the entire enterprise rather than just a route (e.g., bunkers and port charges).
Voyage Instructions
Voyage planning guidance sent to the master by the charterer.

2. About Navi-Planner Product
The main purpose of the Navi-Planner is to:

■ create a voyage consisting of one or several passages, namely:
■ order all the necessary data (charts, ADP & AENP publications if included in the license, weather),
■ generate a schedule;
■ check passages that the voyage consists of, for dangers to navigation;
■ to perform weather optimizing.
■ export the prepared passages to the ECDIS in the necessary format;
■ if connected to the FOS, it also permits reception of voyage instructions, starting and completing
execution of a voyage transferred to the ECDIS.

6. Voyage Creation
6.1. General
Start the Planning mode from the drop-down menu or from the Dashboard:
The user can get a ready-made Voyage via the FOS from the management company or use the Navi-
Planner tools for creating his/her own one to be subsequently coordinated with the coastal services.
Voyage creation consists of the following steps:
■ Set the voyage creation method;
■ Set the voyage start point (port);
■ Select checkpoints through which the voyage route will pass;
■ Set the voyage next point (port);
■ Apply automatic routing taking into account the selected ports and voyage checkpoints;
■ Set other points (ports) that the ship will call at during the voyage (according to the same scenario as
between the first two points);
■ Play ahead the weather forecast if available
■ Order navigation charts and publications;
■ Create a schedule (optional);
■ Weather optimize the voyage (optional).
To create a voyage, open the Planning dashboard and press the New Voyage button:

The Planning task panel will open:
On the New Voyage panel enter the voyage name:
In the top part of the New Voyage In the input field next enter the

6.2. Presets
Before adding the voyage ports (points), it is necessary to set the autorouting parameters for the passage
between the starting and the next voyage point.
To do this, click the button at On the opened Autoroute settings panel, set
the bottom of the New Voyage the parameters necessary for automatic
panel. routing between the starting and the next point
of the voyage:
■ Calculated routes based on – selection of a method for creating a route:

■ Ship route collection – use the vessel route collection of created or imported routes;
■ Offline Wartsila collection – use the built-in collection of routes from Wartsila;
■ Online route calculation – use the online calculation on the Wartsila server taking into account all
available up-to-date charts and data (see 6.3.3)ю
■ Safety parameters for AIR:
■ Safety depth –depth used to calculate the route, equal to or greater than this value;
■ Safety height – distance from the highest point on the mast to the height of the lowest obstruction.
■ Distance to danger:
■ Critical – route’s minimum distance from hazards;
■ Preferred – route’s preferred distance from hazards if possible.

6.3. Passage Geometry Creation

6.3.1. Port Settings
Voyage must consist of at least two points or ports. In most cases, a voyage involves calling at several ports.
6.3.1.1. Add Ports Using Search by Name or LOCODE

The drop-down list will display Use a similar procedure to
In the search input field all ports whose names include search for a port by LOCODE:
type several consecutive letters these letters, select the
from the name of the voyage’s required port from the list:
first port:
The Wärtsilä Port Database contains information of more than 5600 places of maritime interest, mainly ports.
6.3.1.2. Add Ports by Clicking on Chart Panel

Another way to add a port to the voyage is to select it on the Chart panel.
On the world map on the Chart panel, ports from the Wärtsilä Port Database are shown as blue and
harbours as green circles.
If there no ports are visible, use the zoom- in on the chart until they appear.

6.3.2. Selection of Check Points

On the map of the world, there are some check points through which the main navigation routes pass.
These are mainly channels, straits, narrows, navigationally significant capes, etc. By default, all of these
points can be used for route plotting. On the map, they are indicated by green circles with checkmarks .
When planning a route, it may be necessary to avoid passing some checkpoints, for example, due to a deep
draft. Such points, therefore, should be excluded from the permitted ones.
Move the cursor to a control point that is located along the proposed route: the cursor will change its form:

Press the left mouse/trackball button, the selected control point will be excluded during the route plotting:
Such point will now be marked on the map with the symbol.

Depending on the route plotting method, a relevant notification will be issued:

■ The built-in collection of routes from Wartsila has been used;
■ AIR autorouting has been used;
■ For some reason, the route could not be created by using autorouting,
and it is necessary to plot it manually.
The Chart panel displays the plotted route between the starting point and the next voyage point:

ATTENTION! The preliminary routes created by the Planner tool are recommendations from Wartsila
personnel based on our best practice. The routes shall not imply the neglect of any required navigational
aids or navigation duties, including the rules at sea (COLREG) and standards regarding voyage planning
and watchkeeping. The routes shall not cause any change in responsibilities for the captain or officer in
charge of safe navigation and maneuvering of his vessel. The routes are developed without taking into
account the dimensions of the vessel. Please refer to the relevant regulation and navigational charts for the
vessel’s actual maximum dimensions for the specific route. A default turn radius of 0,3 nautical mile is used
on waypoints. Waypoints and turn radius must of course be adapted to the vessel and situation before the
use (see 6.3.11). When using the reference routes and other information, such as ship type, weather and
other traffic, must always be taken into account.
If it is necessary to stop In the opened window press Stop The route plotting will be

6.3.7. Voyage Creation Results

After a voyage has been created, either by the user, or by means of autorouting, or with regard to the
received voyage instruction, the user can now edit or export it. Moreover, it is possible to export both the
whole voyage plan and the passages it includes separately. The Voyage home panel serves for these
purposes:
On the Chart panel, the created voyage is displayed in the form of a Voyage tab and tabs for each passage
that the voyage consists of:

The Voyage home panel displays the statuses of the passages it consists of. There may be the following
passage statuses:
1. Empty passage - the passage has no route geometry set.

For example, if during the voyage creation, auto-routing was used,
but the user stopped auto-routing without waiting for the results, or
the auto-routing failed to build a route (load the route as described in
6.3.5).
2. No geometry - less than 2 points are specified in the route, or all
points of the previously found route were manually deleted.
3. Not checked - the route has not been checked for dangers.
4. Checked. NN unconfirmed hazard (s) – the check-route has been

run along the route; hazards found but not confirmed.
5. Ready for monitoring. N confirmed hazard (s) - the route check-

route has been run, all hazards have been reviewed and confirmed,
N is the number of identified hazards.
6. Executing – passage sent for execution to FOS.
Since the voyage consists of passages, the passage statuses displayed on the Voyage home panel will be
displayed accordingly on the Passage and Route home panels. There will be the same statuses on the
Passage / Route home panels. The only difference between these panels is no weather optimization can be
done on the Route home panel.
The Route / Passage home panel shows a general passage / route status that indicates what actions need
to be performed in order to transfer the route to the third-party ECDIS or send it for execution to the FOS.

6.3.9. Change Passage Geometry

NOTE: Correction of the route geometry if it does not meet certain requirements, is mandatory. A route with
an incorrect geometry cannot be subsequently transferred to the FOS.
When planning a route, errors in its geometry are possible. The statuses of the waypoint geometry are
displayed on the Waypoints geometry button of the Passage home panel and can be as follows:
1. No geometry – the route contains less than 2 points, or all points of

the previously created route were manually deleted. All other panels
are locked at the same time. The user has to create a route.
2. NN waypoints – the route contains NN number of points, where NN
is the number of points.
3. Geometry errors – there are geometry errors on the route that need
to be fixed. The Schedule and Check Route panels are not
available unless the fixing is done.
There may be the following errors:
■ route with 2 overlapping waypoints;
■ route with unsuitable radius;
■ route with a leg which is too short.

Geometry problems are highlighted in orange on the Chart panel and on the Waypoints Geometry panel:
