Int'l Chamber Publishes

Bridge Procedures Guide

The International Chamber of

Shipping, in an appeal to the world shipping community to cut down on marine pollution and save lives at sea, has published a new booklet to assist in the at- tainment of these goals.

Called the Bridge Procedures

Guide, it is designed to provide masters and navigating officers of vessels of all flags with a de- scription of bridge procedures widely recognized as good inter- national practice.

The simply written publication includes both routine and emer- gency check lists ranging from procedures for the embarkation and disembarkation of pilots to action to be taken in case of "man overboard." These check lists can be removed from the

Guide and mounted on the bridge bulkhead for ready reference, ac- cording to H.T. Beazley, chairman of the London, England-based or- ganization representing worldwide shipowner associations.

In announcing the merits of the new Guide, Mr. Beazley said: "This Guide has been prepared by mariners for mariners. It con- centrates mainly on basic proced- ures and measures applicable to all classes of vessels, and is aimed to enhance the overall safety of navigation. It is my firm view that it has been the neglect of such procedures that have been respon- sible for so many navigational casualties, causing not only pol- lution but loss of life. Such trag- edies could and should have been avoided.

Mr. Beazley noted that an "ef- fective bridge organization" is the main key to the safety of navi- gation. It is the duty of ship- owners worldwide to insure that its importance is recognized by their masters, he said. Further- more, he added, the Guide should be equally valuable to deepsea fishing vessels. "I am convinced that if maxi- mum international support is giv- en to this Guide, an early and significant reduction in naviga- tional casualties can be achieved," he concluded. "This would be greatly in the interest of safety of life at sea and the protection of our marine environment. I therefore appeal to shipowners of all flags to circulate this Guide widely and encourage compliance with its provisions within their own fleets."
