1.1 It is a requirement of the International
Safety Management Code (ISM) that personnel working on assignments
related to safety and the protection of the environment need to be
given proper familiarization with their duties.
1.2 To assist with this process it is required
that the INS equipment manufacturer or system integrator provides
suitable training material that may be used by the ship operator as
a basis for onboard familiarization of users.
1.3 The material is intended to be used by bridge
officers who have had generic training in the use of INS through
attending shore-based instruction based on the Organization's
Model Course 1.32 “Operational use of Integrated Bridge
Systems including Integrated Navigation Systems”.
1.4 The intention of the familiarization
material is that it should give a rapid means of understanding
the configuration of the INS and its method of operation.
General concepts concerning the use of INS are not required
to be part of the material, as these would unnecessarily
increase the duration of the familiarization training.
1.5 The material should be organized such
that it represents the actual equipment and configuration
that is fitted to the ship.
