1.2 Functional Description
The digital gyro compass Standard 22 NX provides speed error corrected true heading and
rate of turn. A gyro compass heading is not affected by the earth magnetic field.
The gyro compass generates an accurate directional reference signal to indicate the ship's
heading relative to true north.
The inherent speed error of the gyro compass is corrected automatically by the use of
position and speed input from GNSS (such as GPS, GLONASS, etc) and log. If this data
is not available, the automatic speed error correction is not possible and the user must
correct the heading manually.
1.3 Bridge Alert Management
Note
This text is general. Some functions (presentation) are only supported in conjunction with
an operator unit.
Bridge Alert Management (BAM) is an overall concept to enhance the handling,distribution
and presentation of alerts on the bridge in a consistent manner.
This concept is described in the IMO performance standard “MSC.302(87)
Performancestandard for Bridge Alert Management”. Equipment-related details are defined
in otherequipment-related performance and test standards.
The objective of
BAM is to harmonize the priority, classification, handling, distribution
andpresentation of alerts. It enables the bridge team to devote full attention to the
safeoperation of the ship. Furthermore the bridge team immediately finds any alert
situation requiring attentionand / or action to maintain the safe operation of the ship.
Unnecessary distraction of the bridge team by redundant and superfluous audible
