The Simrad MARIS ECDIS900 MK5A with M5027 is a modular, split-unit IMO type-approved ECDIS system designed for SOLAS-regulated commercial vessels. Unlike the all-in-one panel PC design of the MK15/MK16 series, the MK5A uses a dedicated maritime computer unit paired with the Simrad M5027 27-inch widescreen marine monitor.
This split system architecture provides extra flexible mounting options for larger bridge consoles, radar overlays, and multi-workstation Paperless ECDIS (PLECDIS) setups.
Key Features & System Capabilities
