1.ECDIS & PASSAGE PLAN

1.1 PASSAGE PLAN USER CHAR

Downbelow From :Ship Inspection Report (SIRE) Programme,Vessel Inspection Questionnaires for Oil Tankers and Chemical Tankers (VIQ)船舶檢查提綱油輪、化學(xué)品船部分

Was a comprehensive passage plan available for theprevious voyage and did it cover the full voyage from berth to berth?

前一航次是否編制有全面的航次計(jì)劃，該計(jì)劃是否覆蓋從泊位到泊位的整個(gè)航程？

Prior to proceeding to sea，the master shall ensurethat the intended voyage has been planned using appropriate charts andpublications for the area concerned. (SOLAS V/34 and IMO Res. A.893)

開航前，船長應(yīng)運(yùn)用預(yù)定航線上所涉及的合適的海圖和圖書資料，保證計(jì)劃好預(yù)定航線。(資料來源：SOLAS V/34 and IMO Res. A.893)

Notes： The passage plan should becompleted by an officer and checked by the master.

提示：航次計(jì)劃應(yīng)由一位駕駛員來完成，再由船長來核查。

Use of the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency Marine Guidance Note 166(Guidelines for Voyage Planning) and the Nautical Institute publication BridgeTeam Management reinforce the recommendations contained in the ICS BridgeProcedures Guide.

英海事和海岸警備局出版的《海運(yùn)指導(dǎo)說明166》（航線設(shè)計(jì)指南）和航海協(xié)會(huì)出版物《駕駛臺(tái)團(tuán)隊(duì)管理》的使用補(bǔ)充了國際航運(yùn)協(xié)會(huì)出版的《駕駛臺(tái)程序指南》所含的建議。

Passage planning should be carried out on the chart，although there is a place for the use of a conning notebook，or some information gathered elsewhere. Overcrowding of information in the working areas of the chart can beavoided by recording the information away from the track and drawing attentionto it by a line or reference letter.

即使在使用指揮筆記本的地方，或某些信息已收集在別處，仍應(yīng)將航次計(jì)劃標(biāo)繪在海圖上。為防止海圖上工作區(qū)的信息過度擁擠，可以將有關(guān)信息記錄在遠(yuǎn)離航跡之處，然后畫上一條線或?qū)懮蠀⒖甲帜敢允咀⒁狻?/p>

該項(xiàng)需要注意的是海圖更換時(shí)的重疊，需要引起重視。航行計(jì)劃的制定必須連貫，無論如何不能出現(xiàn)斷點(diǎn)。需要特別關(guān)注的是：平行線問題，航行定線制，以及相應(yīng)的船舶定位要求。需要密切關(guān)注禁航區(qū)的標(biāo)識(shí)

The following should be marked on the chart，where it enhances safe navigation：

以下所述如可提高安全航行，應(yīng)標(biāo)注于海圖上：

? Parallelindexing (not from floating objects unless they have been first checked forposition)；

平行方位線（除非已事先核對(duì)過其位置的準(zhǔn)確性，切忌使用浮動(dòng)物標(biāo)）；

? Chartchanges； 海圖的更換；

? Methodsand frequency of position fixing； 定位的方法和時(shí)間間隔；

? Prominentnavigation and radar marks； 顯著的航行和雷達(dá)物標(biāo)；

? No-goareas (the excessive marking of no-go areas should be discouraged ?C see below)； 禁止進(jìn)入?yún)^(qū)（不鼓勵(lì)過多地標(biāo)繪“禁止進(jìn)入?yún)^(qū)”，見以下）

? Landfalltargets and lights； 初見陸標(biāo)和燈光；

? Clearinglines and bearings； 避險(xiǎn)線和避險(xiǎn)方位；

? Transits，headingmarks and leading lines； 疊標(biāo)、導(dǎo)標(biāo)和導(dǎo)航線；

? Significanttides or current； 重要的潮流和海流；

? Safespeed and necessary speed alterations； 安全航速和必要的航速變化；

? Changesin machinery status； 機(jī)器狀態(tài)的更換；

? Minimumunder keel clearance； 最小富余水深；

? Positionswhere the echo sounder should be activated； 需要開啟測(cè)深儀的位置；

? Crossingand high density traffic areas； 穿越和高通航密度區(qū)；

? Safe distance off； 應(yīng)保持的安全距離；

? Anchorclearance； 錨位余量；

? Contingencyplans； 緊急計(jì)劃；

? Abortpositions； 中斷位置；

? VTSand reporting points，etc.，VTS及其報(bào)告點(diǎn)，等等。

Charted passage planning information should not obscure printed details，nor should the information on charts be obliterated by the use ofhighlight or felt-tip pen，red pencil，etc.

所標(biāo)繪的航線設(shè)計(jì)相關(guān)資料不應(yīng)妨礙閱讀海圖上刊印的詳細(xì)資料，也不用使用標(biāo)示記號(hào)或標(biāo)簽筆、紅色鉛筆等將海圖上的信息蓋沒。

No-go areas should be highlighted，but should be reservedfor those areas where the attention of the navigator needs to be drawn to adanger such as shallow water or a wreck close to the course line.

“禁止進(jìn)入?yún)^(qū)”用標(biāo)示記號(hào)標(biāo)出，但應(yīng)保留航海人員需注意的危險(xiǎn)物區(qū)域，該危險(xiǎn)物例如航線附近的淺水區(qū)和沉船。

Extensive use of no-go area s should be discouraged. No-go areas vary with change of draft andtide and will therefore also vary with the time of passage. They should not therefore be permanentlymarked.

不鼓勵(lì)過多地標(biāo)繪“禁止進(jìn)入?yún)^(qū)”。“禁止進(jìn)入?yún)^(qū)”會(huì)隨著吃水、潮汐的變化而改變；也會(huì)隨著通過的時(shí)間變化而改變。因此，不應(yīng)將“禁止進(jìn)入?yún)^(qū)”永久地標(biāo)繪于海圖上。

All courses previous to the last voyage should have been erased. Courselines must not be marked in ink，although it is acceptable to plot alter course positions in ink where these are frequently in use.

應(yīng)擦除上一航次之前的所有航線。雖然可以接收將經(jīng)常使用的轉(zhuǎn)向點(diǎn)用墨水筆標(biāo)在海圖上，但不應(yīng)用墨水筆標(biāo)繪航線。

  1.8:電子海圖VIQ requirement

  In addition to the paper publications necessary for a safe passage，the following issues should be taken into consideration for electronic passage planning：

  除安全航行所需的紙質(zhì)圖書以外，電子航路的設(shè)計(jì)還應(yīng)考慮以下各點(diǎn)：

  ? Thevessel's controlling operational parameters (maximum draft，air draft，turning data，minimumunder keel clearance required，'lookahead' distance etc.) should be entered；

  應(yīng)輸入船舶的控制操作參數(shù)（最大吃水、凈空高度、旋回?cái)?shù)據(jù)、所需最小富余水深、“預(yù)設(shè)提前距離”等等）

  Planning航路設(shè)計(jì)

  ? Marking/highlightingof electronic charts can be carried out in a similar way to paper charts toidentify radar conspicuous targets，no-go areas，parallelindex lines (essential for the monitoring stage)，transit marks，clearingbearings，etc.；

  電子海圖上的標(biāo)記/重要標(biāo)識(shí)應(yīng)盡量與紙質(zhì)海圖相似，以識(shí)別顯著的雷達(dá)物標(biāo)、禁止進(jìn)入?yún)^(qū)、平行方位線（對(duì)監(jiān)控階段是必要的）、疊標(biāo)、避險(xiǎn)方位線等等；

  ? Itis prudent for a simulated passage to be run prior to the vessel's departure toensure that the route does not enter anyalarm preset danger areas that may have been overlooked；

  應(yīng)當(dāng)謹(jǐn)慎的是，在開航前應(yīng)運(yùn)行模擬航線，以確保該航路內(nèi)沒有輸入任何沒注意到報(bào)警預(yù)設(shè)危險(xiǎn)區(qū)；

  ? Estimatedpositions should be marked on the chart for each watch，inadvance.

  每班估計(jì)船位應(yīng)預(yù)先標(biāo)在海圖上。

  Execution and Monitoring

  執(zhí)行和監(jiān)控：

  Navigating officers must not become over-reliant on ECDIS. Frequent checks should be made of the ECDISposition fixing system (normally GPS) by the use of other means. Such checks should include：

  負(fù)責(zé)航行的駕駛員不應(yīng)過度依賴電子海圖顯示信息系統(tǒng)。應(yīng)時(shí)常通過其他定位手段對(duì)電子海圖顯示信息系統(tǒng)的定位系統(tǒng)（通常是GPS）進(jìn)行核對(duì)。這種核對(duì)應(yīng)包括：

  ? Parallelindexing and use of clearing bearings；

  平行方位尺和使用避險(xiǎn)線；

  ? Useof radar to check the accuracy of the charted position by comparing thelocation of the radar target against the charted symbol；

  使用雷達(dá)對(duì)雷達(dá)物標(biāo)和其海圖圖式的位置進(jìn)行比較，來核查圖注位置的精確度；

  ? Visualcross bearings；

  目測(cè)交叉方位；

  ? Comparisonof the signal to noise ratio of the GPS system in use.

Daily, Monthly And Weekly Tests Of GMDSS Equipment On Board Ships

https://www.marineinsight.com/marine-navigation/gmdss-equipment-tests-on-ships/

The development of GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress And Safety System) for the shipping industry hascome a long way. The GMDSS system was established with an objective to improve distress and safetyradio communications and procedures at sea.

The greatest benefit of the GMDSS equipment is that it vastly reduces the chances of shipsdisappearing without a trace, and enables search and rescue (SAR) operations to be launched withoutdelay and directed to the exact site of a maritime disaster.

Gone are the days when ships were required to have dedicated radio officers to operate radio equipment.With the implementation of GMDSS, every deck officer with a General Operator Certificate (GOC) andthe license is entitled to use the GMDSS equipment and make radio communications when needed.

For the GMDSS equipment to function properly and effectively in the event of an emergency, it is criticalthat mariners understand its purpose and do the required maintenance on board the vessel to keep it in aworking condition and make the best use of GMDSS equipment.

The daily, weekly and monthly tests of all the GMDSS equipment should be done by every navigatingofficer responsible for it without any compromise. We must not forget that it is our only best friend in adistress situation at sea.

Ships at sea must be capable of performing the nine functional GMDSS requirements. They are:

\1. Ship-to-shore distress alerting2. Shore-to-ship distress alerting3. Ship-to-ship distress alerting4. SAR coordination

\5. On-scene communications

\6. Transmission and receipt of emergency locating signals\7. Transmission and receipt of MSI\8. General radio communications\9. Bridge-to-bridge communications

This can be ensured by testing the GMDSS equipment at regular intervals.

The GMDSS equipment and systems include the VHF DSC/RT, MF/HF DSC/RT, INMARSAT, SART,EPIRB, NAVTEX, and SURVIVAL CRAFT TWO WAY VHF.

Daily Tests On GMDSS Equipment

The proper functioning of the Digital Selective Calling (DSC) facilities shall be tested at least once eachday, without radiation of signals, by the use of the equipment’s Internal test facility. The daily test checksthe internal connection, transmitting output power and the display. The process can differ from equipmentto equipment based on the make.

\1. At the standby display press, the SHIFT key followed by the TEST key. The “TEST IN PROGRESS”pop up window appears momentarily and distress alarm both visual and audible occurs.

The display shows the TEST screen. If everything is okay with the set and is functioning properly, theresults show OK as below. However, in some situation or if it’s a faulty equipment, ‘NG’ may be displayed.In this case the daily test should be repeated a couple of times. If the problem persists, it should beimmediately brought to the notice of a shore based service engineer.

\2. Press the CANCEL key to stop the alarm. To stop the daily test, press the CANCEL key again.

Daily test also needs to be performed on the MF/HF equipment to ensure it will function properly in theevent of distress.

\1. Press the [3/TEST] key to start the test. Select the Daily Test by rotating the knob and push to enter.After several seconds the display shows the test results; OK for normal operation. The audio alarm alsosounds after the test results are displayed and the alarm lamp flashes several times.

\2. The CANCEL key should be pressed to quit the test and return to the normal screen.

Batteries providing a reserve source of energy should also be checked daily. Mainly the battery ON-LOAD and OFF-LOAD voltages are checked by a voltmeter connected to the charger.

OFF-LOAD: when no equipment is connected, the battery should read 24 V or slightly more.

ON LOAD: switch off the AC power and note the voltage of the battery. Press the PTT on MF/HFtransceiver on a non-distress and idle R/T frequency. Voltage will fall depending upon the load. If thevoltage falls more than 10% it indicates that the battery is either weak or not charged fully. In this case,batteries should be recharged.

It is also important to check that all printers are in a working condition and there is sufficient supply ofpaper.

Weekly Tests On GMDSS Equipment

It is necessary to test the proper operation of the DSC facilities at least once a week by means of a testcall over one of the six distress and safety frequencies, when within the communication range of a coaststation fitted with a DSC equipment. A test call to the coast station can be sent in the following ways:

MF/HF DSC:

\1. Press the [2/DSC] key at the DSC standby screen and then push the [ENTER] knob to open the CALLTYPE menu.

\2. Rotate the [ENTER] knob to choose TEST CALL and then push the [ENTER] knob. Push the [ENTER]knob again to open the COAST ID menu.

\3. Using the numeric keys, key in the ID of the coast station ID (seven digits) where you want to send thecall depending upon the area you are navigating in and then push the [ENTER] knob. The coast stationID can be found from the Admiralty List of Radio Signals Volume 1- Maritime Radio Stations.

\4. Now push the [ENTER] knob to open the DSC FREQ menu. (Note that here the PRIORITY isautomatically selected to SAFETY.)

\5. Rotate the [ENTER] knob to choose an appropriate frequency and then push the [ENTER] knob.

\6. Now press the [CALL] key to send the TEST call to the respective shore station.

After the test call has been sent successfully the acknowledgement is received from the shore station.The audio alarm sounds on receiving the acknowledgement.

Many times it often happens that the deck officer does not receive any acknowledgement from the shorestation. In such cases, we often take it for granted that the shore station is not sending theacknowledgement. However, in reality, this might not be the case.

The problem could be with our equipment too. To make sure that the MF/HF equipment is in order, it isbetter we try sending the test call using other frequencies and to other stations. Even if then we fail toreceive any acknowledgement, a test call can be sent to a passing ship if possible. Instead of keying thecoast ID, key in the MMSI of the passing ship. It is better to call the ship and confirm if they have receivedthe test call. We can also request them to send us a test call to ensure that the equipment receivingfacility is functioning properly.

It is also recommended that a station to station test takes place using VHF DSC.

\1. Press the CALL key. This will open the compose message screen where the call type can be selected.Rotate the channel knob to select TEST call.

\2. Enter the Station ID, in this case, the MMSI of your own ship and then press the CALL key for it to betransmitted.

The audio and visual alarm is generated and the test call is received on the other VHF station. Presscancel to terminate the test call.

Monthly Tests On GMDSS EquipmentEPIRB:

The Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon or EPIRB should be examined by carrying out a self-test function without using the satellite system. No emergency signal is transmitted during the self-test.During self-test the battery voltage, output power and frequency are checked. The EPIRB should also bechecked for any physical damage. The expiry date of the battery unit and that of the hydrostatic releaseunit should be checked. Also, check that the safety clip is properly attached and in place.

To perform the self-test on the JOTRON EPIRB:

\1. The EPIRB should be removed from the bracket first.

We use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website. If you continue to use this site we will assume that you are happy with it.

\2. The spring loaded switch on top of the EPIRB is then lifted to the TEST position.

A successful test will consist of a series of blinks on the LED test-indicator, followed by a continuous lightand a strobe flash after approximately 15 seconds. The last green led indicates a successful test.

\3. After the successful completion of the test, the switch is released and the EPIRB is put back into thebracket.

SART:

The Search and Rescue Transponder or SART is also equipped with a self-test mechanism to test theoperational function of the beacon. The SART is tested using the ship’s X band radar. The test shouldpreferably be done in open seas to avoid interference on the radar display.

\1. Remove the SART from the mounting bracket.\2. The SART should be held by one person in view of the radar scanner. This could be done from the

bridge wings. The SART should then be put on the TEST mode by rotating it to the left to theTESTPREVUE position for a brief period.

Visual lights operate and bleeps are heard indicating that the SART has been triggered.

\3. Simultaneously a person should observe the radar display for the correct pattern. At least 11concentric circles appear on the radar display if kept on a 12 M range scale. The distance betweenthe two rings is approximately 0.64 NM.

\4. The SART should also be visually inspected for any signs of physical damage. The battery expirydate should also be noted. The safety clip should be in place.

Survival Craft Two Way Portable VHF Equipment

Each survival craft two way VHF equipment should be tested at least once a month to ensure properoperation in case of a distress situation. It should be tested on a frequency other than VHF channel 16(156.8 MHz). The expiry date of the battery needs to be checked and changed when required.

\1. Press the power key to switch on or off.

\2. To select a different channel, press the CH key and use the arrow keys to select the required channel.The selected channel is indicated with channel number and frequency on the screen.

\3. Press the PTT (Push to talk) to communicate with another radio-telephone to test receive and transmitfunctions. One person can stand near the VHF receiver to receive a test call from the handheld radio.

The symbol ‘TX’ is shown when the PTT is pressed and transmission takes place. The TX indicatorindicates that a carrier is produced at the antenna output.

When it receives a signal the symbol ‘RX’ is indicated on the display.

NAVTEX :

The Navtex is an equally important GMDSS equipment and is the source of maritime safety information. Itis also equipped with a test function that can test the battery, keyboard, LCD, ROM and RAM. It is a goodpractice to test the Navtex and detect an error if any. The Furuno model of Navtex can be tested asfollows:

\1. Press the MENU/ESC key to open the main menu.

\2. Now use the navigating arrows to choose SERVICE and then hit ENT. The SERVICE submenucontains the TEST option. Use the down arrow key to select TEST and press ENT key. Choose YES andpress the ENT key again. The TEST will start and the results will be displayed on the screen after a fewseconds.

If the test is successful the results show OK otherwise it will show NG meaning – No Good.

It also tests each key for proper functioning.

The Rx test screen shows as follows:

The test results can be printed and filed in the GMDSS log book.

INMARSAT:

The INMARSAT is also equipped with a diagnostic test which checks it for proper operation. The steps toperform a Diagnostic Test on FURUNO INMARSAT are given below;

\1. On the keyboard press the F7 key to display the ‘OPTIONS’ menu.\2. Use the down arrow to open the TEST menu and then select the DIAGNOSTIC TEST. Select YES

to begin the test.

On completion of the test, the results are shown on the screen as below. The ESC key is used to returnto the main menu.

A PV test or Performance Verification test can be performed every month. This test consists of receivinga test message from an LES (Local Earth Station), transmitting a message to an LES and a distress alerttest. The PV TEST can be opened from the TEST menu under OPTIONS as mentioned above.

The status shows ‘TESTING’ when the test is in process.

The status changes to IDLE on completion of the PV Test.

The test results can be seen from the option ‘PV Test Result’ under the TEST menu. The test results canbe printed and logged. BBER denotes the bulletin board error rate. Pass appears for no error. “PASS”appears for satisfactory completion of the test.

GMDSS Battery:

The battery connections and compartment should also be checked. The level of the electrolyte and thespecific gravity of each cell should be checked and recorded. Sulfation can reduce the specific gravitythereby reducing the battery capacity. Maintenance free batteries on board, however, do not require anysuch checks.

It is recommended every month to visually check all antennas for the security of mounting and visible damage.
