MIB FINDINGS
CO DID NOT ENSURE ADEQUATE NAVIGATIONAL STANDARDS FOR BOTH CIC AND THE BRIDGE IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE SHIP’S SAFETY WHEN IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO SHOALS AND/OR LAND
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS REGARDING THE FREQUENCY OF FIXES AND DISTANCES TO SHOALS THAT SPECIAL DETAILS MUST BE SET WERE NOT ADDRESSED IN CO’S STANDING ORDERS
Notes:
THE CNSL/CNSP NAVIGATION INSTRUCTION REQUIRES THE CO TO SPECIFY OR DEFINE “RESTRICTED WATERS.” WHILE WE STRESS BREVITY AND CONCISE GUIDANCE IN THE STANDING ORDERS, THERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU MUST INCLUDE. A REITERATION OF THE ENTIRE NAV INSTRUCTION IS NOT NECESSARY NO DESIRED.
