3 Bridge procedures

 The bridge procedures, provided for the ship, should implement the functions, capabilities and limitations of the installed IBS. Especially the documentation should include clear instructions about conditions under which automatic control functions may be used or not.

Note Automatic steering may only be useful where precise manoeuvring is required, if the automatic control system supports the required precision, e.g. by considering speed through water for rudder control.

 The Company should have personnel ashore capable of supervising, training and evaluating the company Operational Procedures and operational use of the Integrated Bridge System.
