COMBINED BRIDGE NAVIGATIONAL WATCH ALARM & ALARM WARNING & COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

The NT990 BNWAS/AWCS Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System (BNWAS) combined with an Alarm Warning & Communication System (AWCS) results in the Navitron model type NT990 BNWAS/AWCS which is a robust and intelligent monitoring device compliant with MSC specification MSC. 128(75) – the IMO adopted standard for BNWAS - IEC 62616 and with the rules of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping (RMRS). The Alarm system provides initial malfunction notifications of various ships navigational equipment to the bridge watch personnel and provides a backup facility for the Officer of the Watch (OOW) by automatically alerting the Master or other qualified personnel if the OOW is rendered incapable of performing regular and consistent watch duties. The system also provides an Emergency Call facility in order that the OOW, or other watch personnel, can call for immediate assistance.
