SUMMARY
|
|
MSC.302(87) adopts performance standards for bridge alert management. This comprises central alert management (CAM) and the central alert management human machine interface (CAM-HMI) which are intended to make it easier for crew to identify and respond to alerts in the event of an abnormal situation arising. Bridge alert management (BAM) must display alerts on the bridge categorised into four levels
of priority and with different statuses for acknowledged and unacknowledged alarms. There are detailed requirements for the operation of CAM including back-up systems, functional aspects and alert displays. A log of past alerts must be available. Interface requirements,
power supply arrangements and documentation needed are specified and guidance to manufacturers supplying documentation and training materials is also provided.
