The chances of a repetition may possibly be somewhat less likely in future, as this case concerned a paper-based passage plan, prior to the mandatory use of the far more automated electronic passage planning that is done nowadays on ECDIS (“Electronic Chart & Display Information System”).
However, while ECDIS has many advantages, as with all technological solutions, there is always in practice a very real potentialfor user error and for defects or limitations in the software or hardware. As such, application of the principles of this judgment in the ECDIS context could be expected in the future.
