Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System (BNWAS)


New SOLAS regulations require sea going vessels to be equipped with a BNWAS as of July 2011. The IS
steinsohn BNWAS monitors and alerts the master if the officer of the watch (OOW) does not respond to
the alarm system in time. The BNWAS allows retrofits and the combination with other ship safety systems.

The System can be used for the bridge area or in the engine control room as a personnel alarm system. It
complies with the requirements of the IMO Resolution MSC.128(75) and the new test standard of IEC
62616.

New regulations
Ship owners and managers are affected by amendments to SOLAS regulation V/19 adopted on 5th June
2009 by resolution MSC.282 (86) which requires carriage of a BNWAS, complying with IMO performance
standards. The required equipment on ships of 150 gross tonnages and upwards and a passenger ship
irrespective of size, with a phased carriage requirement for existing ships, is as follows:

Retrofit of existing vessels

Vessels without a BNWAS or with a BNWAS which is not according to IMO MSC 128(75) could be refitted
with the IS steinsohn BNWAS. To reduce the costs of a refit, INTERSCHALT is in steady contact to the
classification societies and flag states to find a minimum configuration.

Advantages

 Slim design
 Competitive price
 Easy to install by crew
 No special cables necessary
 Experience of more than 10 years
New buildings

transferred in the MED Annex starting in 2012.

Advantages

 ‘Ready for Wheelmark Certificate’


 Competitive pricing
 Slim design
 User-friendly interfaces via NMEA and dry contacts
