For ship managers who may want to improve or enhance navigational practice on board ships uner their management-
From The Sea, Jan/Feb 2008 issue, published by the Missions to Seafarers, London:
A fully updated edition of the ICS "Bridge Procedures Guide", which is intended to reflect best navigational practice on ships today in all sectors and trades, has been published by the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), which strongly recommends that a copy is carried on board every ship.
The new edition takes account of the increased use of modern electronic charting systems, and the introduction of equipment such as Automatic Identification Systems (AIS). Guidance concerning pilotage has also been thoroughly updated, and advice about dynamic positioning has been included.
It also covers the latest internationally agreed standards and recommendations adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and includes bridge and emergency checklists for use by ships' masters and navigating officers. It is available from maritime booksellers or visit www.marisec.orgs/pubs.
