Paragraph 41 Bridge manning and the use of automatic pilot steering devices
The master of a vessel navigating within the dockyard port must ensure that—
sufficient, suitably qualified and experienced personnel are present on the bridge to enable the safe passage of the vessel;
adequate additional manning is available to enable an effective and immediate response to machinery failure, or any other emergency which has the potential to affect navigational safety; and
if an automatic pilot steering device is being used on that vessel, a competent helmsman other than the master or pilot is in attendance at the steering position to steer the vessel manually if circumstances so require.
In this paragraph, “competent helmsman” means a person trained and experienced in the steering of the vessel and familiar with all reversionary modes of control.
