Introduction:
The IMO Committee approved the draft amendments to the SOLAS Regulation that requires the
mandatory carriage of a bridge navigation watch alarm system for the subsequent adoption at the
MSC 86. (Amendments to the SOLAS Reg. V/19 ‐ Carriage requirements for a bridge navigational
watch alarm system)
Background: A bridge watch alarm system is a device which triggers an alarm if an Officer on Watch
(OOW) becomes incapable of performing the OOW’s duties. IMO had adopted the performance
standard as MSC. 128 (75) and there are ships which have already installed the equipment on a
voluntary basis. Currently, there are two types, i.e., one which requires the watch officer to press a
button in an interval (if he fails to do so, it triggers the alarm), or another, which detects movements
of the watch officer, using the motion sensor technology. (So far as the sensor finds movements of
the watch officer the alarm will not go off).
Application: The draft amendments stipulate as follows:
1st July 2011 on or after for all new builds of 150 gt or over ‐ (keel lay base)
Ships constructed prior to 1st July 2011 will have to fit the BNWAS by the 1st survey after:
1st July 2012 for cargo ships of 3000 gt or over and all passenger ships.
1st July 2013 for cargo ships of 500 gt or over but less than 3000 gt.
1st July 2014 for cargo ships of between 150 gt or over but less than 500 gt.
These requirements also apply to ships not engaged on international voyages.
Extract from MSC128 (75)
4.1.2 Operational sequence of indications and alarms
4.1.2.1 Once operational, the alarm system should remain dormant for a period of between 3 and
12 min (Td).
4.1.2.2 At the end of this dormant period, the alarm system should initiate a visual indication on the
bridge.
4.1.2.3 If not reset, the BNWAS should additionally sound a first stage audible alarm on the bridge
15 s after the visual indication is initiated.
4.1.2.4 If not reset, the BNWAS should additionally sound a second stage remote audible alarm in
the back‐up officer’s and/or Master’s location 15 s after the first stage audible alarm is
initiated.
4.1.2.5 If not reset, the BNWAS should additionally sound a third stage remote audible alarm at the
locations of further crew members capable of taking corrective actions 90 s after the second
stage remote audible alarm is initiated.

4.1.3 Reset function
4.1.3.1 It should not be possible to initiate the reset function or cancel any audible alarm from any
device, equipment or system not physically located in areas of the bridge providing proper
look out.
4.1.3.2 The reset function should, by a single operator action, cancel the visual indication and all
audible alarms and initiate a further dormant period. If the reset function is activated before
the end of the dormant period, the period should be re‐initiated to run for its full duration
from the time of the reset.
4.1.3.3 To initiate the reset function, an input representing a single operator action by the OOW is
required. This input may be generated by reset devices forming an integral part of the
BNWAS or by external inputs from other equipment capable of registering physical activity
and mental alertness of the OOW.
4.1.3.4 A continuous activation of any reset device should not prolong the dormant period or cause
a suppression of the sequence of indications and alarms.
4.1.4 Emergency call facility
Means may be provided on the bridge to immediately activate the second, and subsequently
third, stage remote audible alarms by means of an ‘Emergency Call’ push button or similar.

Specifications – ALR Sentence NMEA Output:
Additionally, the BNWAS shall provide an interface according to IEC 61162‐1, ALR sentence, with the
following message content:
– hhmmss.ss: this part may be left blank if the BNWAS does not include UTC time
information.
– xxx: Designation of source of alarm or source of reset command. The automatic
mode is designated as "000".
– A: A = Dormant period exceeded
V = Dormant period not exceeded
– A: A = Alarm acknowledged
V = Alarm unacknowledged
– c ‐ ‐ c: BNWAS mode (see 3.1.1): c1; c2; c3
c1 = AUT or MAN or OFF
c2 = Dormant period in min, (03 – 12)
c3 = Alarm stage: 1, 2 or 3.
Example
$BNALR,hhmmss.ss,000,A,V,C1=AUT;C2=03;C3=1*hh<CR><LF>
The alarm message shall be sent with any change of the BNWAS settings for mode or dormant
period, and with any activated and reset alarm.
Functions and Fault Alarm Conditions:
System in STBY when the ship is in Motion:
If the system is in standby mode and
• a speed above 5 knots from the GPS is detected
• or the Autopilot is energised (Active $‐‐HTC or HTD message)
• or the autopilot is indicated to be active at “Autopilot active” input port the alarm sequence
is to be initiated.
PIR Fault:
Under normal operational conditions the PIR will keep the system in a non alarm condition.
Should any of the PIR fail or a break in the cable should bring give a system fault which requires
investigation. (Data required on the PIR to be used. Do they have fault indication?) Will investigate
Acknowledge Buttons Stuck In:
If any of the ACK buttons are constantly closed or shorted then after a certain time period (TBC) the
alarm sequence is to be initiated.
Third Stage Alarm or Emergency Call:
Once the 3rd stage alarm has been activated only a manual reset using the Acknowledge Button on
the MAP or RAP unit will cancel the alarm.
