3.4 Passage plans

 The Passage Plan should be programmed in the Integrated Navigation System. The normal procedures related to the route should be programmed in the waypoint data. The procedures should contain at least the following information:

  • Speed and track limits;
  • Control mode (e.g. heading, course, track and speed);
  • Compulsory radio communication; and
  • Reference to the checklists.

 The route should be programmed with a safe practice taking into account routeing systems, fairway lines, channel marks, shallow waters and oncoming traffic.

 The track limits should be sufficiently large to avoid operationally unnecessary alarms.

 Passage planning should conform to resolution A.893(21) - Guidelines for voyage planning.
