BNWAS information:
Regulations from IMOs Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) requires carriage of a Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm
System (BNWAS) complying with IMO performance standards.
The purpose of a bridge navigational watch alarm system (BNWAS) is to monitor bridge activity and detect operator
disability which could lead to marine accidents. The system monitors the awareness of the Officer of the Watch
(OOW) and automatically alerts the Captain or another qualified OOW if for any reason the OOW becomes
incapable of performing the OOW's duties. This purpose is achieved by a series of indications and alarms to alert
first the OOW and, if he is not responding, then to alert the Captain or another qualified OOW. Additionally, the
BNWAS may provide the OOW with a means of calling for immediate assistance if required. The BNWAS should be
operational whenever the ship's heading or track control system is engaged, unless inhibited by the Captain.
