The paper examines the definition and concept of Electronic navigation (e-navigation), Electronic Chart Systems (ECS) and Electronic Chart and Display Information System (ECDIS). In paper are provided compare of positive and negative aspects for alternative e-navigation platform "BalticWeb", developed in "EfficienSea2" project with certified, internationally approved and accepted Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) using on the STCW based criteria about electronic chart system. In addition, the paper represent new evaluation algorithms' testing methods created in Latvian Maritime Academy as part of "EfficienSea2" project. Paper is intended to familiarize wide range of specialists with positive and negative sides for last developed ECDIS, ECS and e-navigation systems and demonstrate subsequent possible ways of development for those systems. The discussion is about a good practice of exploratory testing and cooperation between higher education institutions and research institutions in developing, testing and implementing new digital devices that will be needed by the employer. As a result, the student got new knowledge and as the future worker has participated in the development of future work tools, expressing an opinion on their added value in practice.
