36 4.10.48 A voyage data recorder. (VDR) VDR's shall be subjected to an annual performance test. The test shall be conducted by an approved testing or servicing facility... A copy of the certificate of compliance issued by the testing facility, stating the date of compliance and the applicable performance standards, shall be retained on board the ship .(SOLAS V/18.8). To assist in casualty investigations, cargo ships, when engaged on international voyages, shall be fitted with a VDR which may be a simplified voyage data recorder (S-VDR) as follows: .1 in the case of cargo ships of 20,000 gross tonnage and upwards constructed before 1 July 2002, at the first scheduled dry-docking after 1 July 2006 but not later than 1 July 2009; .2 in the case of cargo ships of 3,000 gross tonnage and upwards but less than 20,000 gross tonnage constructed before 1 July 2002, at the first scheduled dry-docking after 1 July 2007 but not later than 1 July 2010; .3 Administrations may exempt cargo ships from the application of the requirements of subparagraphs .1 and .2 when such ships will be taken permanently out of service within two years after the implementation date specified in subparagraphs .1 and .2 above. (SOLAS V Reg 20.1.) 4.10.49 Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) <strong>Ship</strong>s engaged on international voyages shall be fitted with an electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS) as follows: 1. tankers of 3,000 gross tonnage and upwards constructed on or after 1st July 2012 2. tankers of 3,000 gross tonnage and upwards constructed before 1st July 2012, not later than the first survey on or after 1st July 2015. All ships of 10,000 gt and upwards: 4.10.50 An ARPA, equipped with speed through the water input. An ARPA, or other means, to plot automatically the range and bearing of at least 20 other targets, connected to a device to indicate speed and distance through the water, to determine collision risks and simulate a trial manoeuvre. 4.10.51 A heading or track control system. To automatically control and keep to a heading and/or straight track. All ships of 50,000 gt and upwards: 4.10.52 A rate of turn indicator. Or other means to determine and display the rate of turn. 4.10.53 A speed and distance measuring device. From 1 st July 2002 new ships are to be equipped with a device to indicate speed and distance over the ground in the forward and athwartships direction. 4.11 Are navigation lights in good order? Note: Primary and secondary systems should be in good order, and there should be a procedure to check the navigation light failure alarm. 4.12 If a bridge navigational watch alarm system (BNWAS) is fitted is it operational at all times when the vessel is at sea? All ships of 150 gross tonnage and upwards shall be fitted with a bridge navigational watch alarm system (BNWAS), as follows: cargo ships of 150 gross tonnage and upwards constructed on or after 1 July 2011; cargo ships of 3,000 gross tonnage and upwards constructed before 1 July 2011, not later than the first survey after 1 July 2012; cargo ships of 500 gross tonnage and upwards but less than 3,000 gross tonnage constructed before 1 July 2011, not later than the first survey after 1 July 2013; and cargo ships of 150 gross tonnage and upwards but less than 500 gross tonnage constructed before 1 July 2011, not later than the first survey after 1 July 2014. The bridge navigational watch alarm system shall be in operation whenever the ship is underway at sea. A bridge navigational watch alarm system (BNWAS) installed prior to 1 July 2011 may subsequently be exempted from full compliance with the standards adopted by the Organization, at the discretion of the Administration (SOLAS 19.2.2.3) Note: A bridge watch alarm system is a device which triggers an alarm if an Officer on Watch (OOW) becomes incapable of performing the OOW’s duties. IMO has adopted the performance standard as © Copyright OCIMF 2014. All rights reserved. 36
37 MSC. 128 (75) and there are ships which have already installed the equipment on a voluntary basis. The BNWAS should be used at all times except when the ship is alongside, in Dry-dock or at a repair facility. 4.13 Are the Standard Magnetic compass and Gyro compasses operational, properly maintained and adjusted? Note: The magnetic compass must be in good working order and the ship’s heading clearly displayed at the main steering position. The binnacle lights must be operational. The compass must be provided with an azimuth mirror or other means to take bearings. The compass shall be adjusted if a period of two years has elapsed since the last adjustment and a record of compass deviations has not been maintained, or the recorded deviations are excessive or when the compass shows physical defects. Masters and Officers should be aware that portable electrical equipment (e.g. radios and tape recorders) or items made of steel can affect the performance of a compass and must ensure that such items are kept away from the compass position. A compass deviation card should be prepared each time the compass is adjusted. Separate deviation cards should be prepared for the standard compass and the transmitting magnetic compass repeater, if fitted (Not required for TMC if attached to the Magnetic Compass). The gyro compass (or compasses) should be checked to ensure that the speed and latitude corrections are properly applied. Gyro maintenance records should be reviewed to confirm that the gyro(s) are operating satisfactorily. This can be done either manually or by automatic input from GPS/Logs. Each of the gyro repeaters, including those that may be fitted in the emergency steering position and the engine control room must be synchronised. Where two gyros are fitted, a change-over device must be fitted and change-over procedures must be posted. 4.14 Are auto to manual steering changeover procedures clearly identified? Simple operating instructions with a block diagram showing the change-over procedures for remote control systems and steering gear power units shall be permanently displayed on the navigation bridge and in the steering gear compartment. (SOLAS V/26.3.1) 4.15 Are auto to manual steering changeover recorded during periods of river transits and when navigating through restricted Waters? Note: Times and locations of engaging hand steering should be recorded in the deck log book or bell book (electronic means of recording are also acceptable) 4.16 Are regular gyro and magnetic compass errors being taken and are they being recorded? Magnetic and gyro compass errors should be checked and recorded each watch, where possible, using either azimuth or transit bearings. A record of magnetic and gyro compass courses to steer and compass errors should be maintained and kept available to the helmsman. (BPG 4.6.3) Note: The error of the gyro should be determined by external observations – celestial bearings, transits etc. and the gyro and magnetic compass headings then compared to determine the magnetic compass error. Where a gyro repeater is used to take a bearing, an accurate comparison between the repeater and the master gyro should be made. When compass errors cannot be taken it is not necessary to state this in the compass error book. The previous record completed by a qualified compass adjuster should be retained to prove that adjustment has not been required in the intervening period. A comparison between the magnetic and gyro headings should be made at each substantial course alteration and once each watch. Details must be recorded in the Deck Log Book. Some Administrations require compass errors to be recorded in the Deck Log Book rather than a separate Compass Error Book. The Magnetic compass errors recorded in the compass error book should broadly agree with the deviation card. The Magnetic compass deviation may be excessive at the time of inspection due to the presence of external metal structures such as loading arms, gangway towers etc. . 4.17 Is there a documented procedure for the operation of the VDR and are the Deck Officers familiar with procedure to retain the VDR data in the event of an incident? Note: In the event of an incident the data retained in the VDR can be invaluable in accident investigations, ship's crew should be aware of how to retain this data and prevent it from being over written. The OCIMF information paper "Recommendations on the Proactive Use of Voyage Data Recorder Information" provides further information on the use of VDRs. © Copyright OCIMF 2014. All rights reserved. 37
