Copied this from a Bob Peterson post on T&T list:
"Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
The Coast Guard proposes to amend its regulations to allow commercial
vessels to use as their primary means of navigation in U.S. waters an
electronic charting and navigation system that meets the Electronic Charting
Display and Information System (ECDIS) standard of the International
Maritime Organization (IMO). Allowing commercial vessels to use modern
electronic charting technology may reduce the potential for human error by
providing a continuous update of a vessel's position for the mariner. To
obtain information needed to amend this rule, the Coast Guard asks for
comments from the public on the questions listed in this document."

I am trying to remember where I read it, (Ocean Navigator Maybe?) But in
the article they said that the US was about to allow the use of electronic
charts on professional vessels (freighters and the like) without the need
for paper backups very soon.
