Information for Seafarers regarding WATCHKEEPING STANDARDS (including 2010 Manila Amendments) The STCW Convention and Code are amended from time to time, and the current requirements must always be consulted and complied with. To assist seafarers, this AMSA information document advises of the content of Chapter VIII of the STCW Code, including 2010 Manila Amendments, at the time of publication of the information. Paragraph 340(1)(h) of the Navigation Act 2012 makes provision for the safe navigation and operation of ships by giving effect to: (a) Regulation I/14 of the STCW Convention (Responsibilities of companies); and (b) Chapter VIII of the STCW Code (Standards regarding watchkeeping). Under this authority, Marine Order 28 (Operating standards and procedures) 2012 requires that companies, masters, chief engineers and all persons engaged on watchkeeping duties must observe both the standards and the guidance regarding watchkeeping set out in Chapter VIII of the STCW Code.

  • Best Practices in Watch Keeping Procedures

    Best Practices in Watch Keeping Procedures

    1 Best practices in watch keeping procedures Every sailor and every skipper has a preference for certain watch keeping schedules and procedures for offshore passages and blue water sailing. There are many variations, each offering distinct benefits. The Ocean Cruising Club has among its members many highly experienced sailors with different approaches to sailing – some singlehanded, others short-handed, and some with full and rotating crew. We have collected a series of discussion points from OCC members as expressed in various OCC venues including the Forum, the Facebook page, and in publications that may be of assistance to individuals planning to sail long distances who wish to consider various options for standing watch. Keeping watch is an essential component of good seamanship, and the OCC supports the efforts of crew to become knowledgeable about the Rules of the Road, to familiarize themselves with best practices and to maintain a vigilant watch under all conditions. This is not a definitive prescription but a set of suggestions based on the collective experience of sailors who have each sailed long distances across oceans. Keep in mind that it is up to the Master or Skipper of the vessel to make decisions about watch keeping procedures that will best suit his/her crew, vessel, and conditions. 1: Follow the Vessel's Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Most skippers have rules they adopt for decision making aboard their vessel on passage. Those rules tell crew how often to make entries into the log (e.g., at least every hour and for every radio contact), under what circumstances to wake him/her (e.g., change of weather, sail change, gear issues, collision avoidance issues), and safety precautions to take (e.g., STAY ON THE BOAT which means lifejacket and tether offshore, clipped in before entering cockpit, always someone else on deck if going forward).

REQUIREMENTS: 1.0 Standards Regarding Watchkeeping The International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as amended (“STCW”), the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (“COLREGS”), and the International Convention on Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 (“SOLAS”) have a direct impact on watchkeeping practices in all merchant ships and the manning requirements for vessels. The following outlines the requirements of STCW. 1.1 Watchkeeping at Sea 1.1.1 The Master of every ship is bound to ensure that watchkeeping arrangements are adequate for maintaining safe navigational watches. 1.1.2 Under the master's general direction, the officers of the watch are responsible for navigating the ship safely during their periods of duty, when they will be particularly concerned with avoiding collision and stranding. 1.1.3 The officer in charge of the watch is the master's representative and is primarily responsible at all times for the safe navigation of the ship and for complying with COLREGS. 1.1.4 The chief engineer of every ship is bound, in consultation with the master, to ensure that watchkeeping arrangements adequately maintain safe

    the International Journal Volume 12 on Marine Navigation Number 3 http://www.transnav.eu and Safety of Sea Transportation September 2018 DOI: 10.12716/1001.12.03.18 Teaching Celestial Navigation in the Age of GNSS I. Ibáñez University of the Basque Country, Portugalete, Spain ABSTRACT: Over the past two decades, we have witnessed the astounding development of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Celestial navigation has gradually been declining, displaced by the availability of these new, accurate, and easy‐to‐use electronic systems. Nonetheless, according to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW), deck officers onboard merchant ships must have been trained in the observance of celestial bodies to plot the ship’s position and to calibrate compass error. It is a real challenge in the current context to which lecturers in nautical astronomy can respond through innovation in their teaching methods. A new approach to training students in celestial navigation at the Nautical College of the University of the Basque Country is discussed in this paper. It has already achieved promising results in comparison with the traditional teaching methodology, and is both efficient and effective. The adoption of institutional measures is also proposed to ensure that the competence acquired in the training phase is at all times present throughout professional practice. 1 INTRODUCTION In fact, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and particularly GPS are currently the In 1995, the US Global Positioning System (GPS) was primary source for plotting a ship’s position on the declared fully operational, superseding its forerunner, high seas. Additionally, it is connected to virtually all Transit.
