Course framework
Aims
This course provides generic training in the use of IBS and INS. It is designed for officers in
charge of a navigational watch on vessels that are fitted with such equipment. Its main aims are
to increase safety and to protect the environment. It does this by giving instruction on the
understanding and safe use of such systems, including illustrations of dangerous or improper use.
Successful completion of the course enables the candidate to fully benefit from familiarization
training for the actual bridge installed equipment. Such familiarization training should comply
with the recommendations contained in the Appendix to this model course.
The course takes into account all IMO Resolutions and Guidance on INS and IBS available at the
time the model course was prepared. It also takes into account the relevant sections of the
revision to SOLAS Chapter V which came into force during 2002. Where appropriate, it also
takes note of common implementation practice, influenced by Administrations, classification
societies, international standards institutions and manufacturers.

•
Understand the benefits and limitations of such systems
•
Understand the human interface with IBS and INS
•
Understand the need for bridge procedures and disciplines to use such systems in
normal, abnormal and emergency situations
