Extract

The shipping industry is faced with unilateral legislation proposed by the United States of America covering navigational equipment and, in the interests of harmonization, IMCO is compiling performance specifications and carriage requirements for navigational equipment including collision avoidance systems; the establishment of type approval procedures can be anticipated. The shipowner has reservations, in respect of the need for adequate training in the use of advanced systems and the risk of navigators placing reliance on such devices as collision avoidance systems when their constant availability cannot be guaranteed.
