Q

What is ‘polling’ mode of operation

A

Information / data sent by transponder when interrogated by another transponder.

Can be used to obtain information earlier than required, such as by a shore station.

Has potential use for Long Range AIS in the future

Q

Advantages of AIS over radar

A

It can see around corners
It gives immediate indication of a vessel altering course
Targets do not get lost in clutter
Information about vessel is in depth

Q

Why not use AIS for Collision avoidance?

A

It relies on ships instruments which cannot check to be correct

ColRegs are BASED on visual and radar information

Q

Describe the three types of ATONS
(aids to navigation)

Real / physical

Synthetic

Virtual

A

Real / Physical: A physical navigation mark with an AIS transmitter affixed and data transmitted

Synthetic: A physical navigation mark without an AIS transmitter fitted instead relying on a shore based transmitter to project the information

Virtual: No physical navigation mark and the data is transmitted by a shore based station

Q

What is AIS?

A

AIS is a maritime mobile VHF broadcast system that sends dynamic and static ship
information, such as MMSI, call sign, position, course and speed, to other AIS transponders
and base stations.

17
Q

Limitations of AIS

A

It is not mandatory for all vessels

Can display intentionally wrong info

Can be switched off

Is fed with SOG

NOT for collision avoidance

18
Q

What is LRIT?

A

The Long-Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) system provides for the global
identification and tracking of ships to enhance security of shipping and for the purposes of
safety and marine environment protection.

19
Q

Minimum requirements for LRIT?

A
  • Be capable of automatically, and without human intervention on board the ship,
    transmitting the ship’s LRIT information at 6-hour intervals to an LRIT Data Centre;
  • Be capable of being configured remotely to transmit LRIT information at variable
    intervals;
  • Be capable of transmitting LRIT information following receipt of polling commands;
  • Interfaces directly to the shipborne global navigation satellite system equipment, or
    have internal positioning capability;
  • Be supplied with energy from the main and emergency source of electrical power.
20
Q

What is BNWAS?

A

Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System

21
Q

Three modes of operation of BNWAS

A

Auto, as soon as auto pilot is switched on

Manual on

Manual off

22
Q

How does BNWAS work?

A
  • Once operational, stays dormant for a user set period of 3-12 minutes
  • Visual alarm on Bridge
  • 1st stage audible alarm in Bridge 15 seconds after visual Alarm
  • If not reset, 2nd stage alarm in Master/Back up officers cabin 15 seconds after 1st stage audible alarm
  • 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.
23
Q

What other function does BNWAS have?

A

Manual call for assistance
