Lloyd's Register Type Approved BNWAS
If you are looking to install a BNWAS on any vessels classified by Lloyd’s Register of Shipping (LR) it is essential to ensure that the system meets specific BNWAS requirements set out by LR.
LR does not accept the use of passive infra red (PIR) sensors to detect movement on the ship’s bridge stating:
‘We understand these requirement as such that the reset functionality may be provided by either physical reset push buttons at Officer of the Watch (OOW)’s proper look out positions, e.g. conning position, navigation operation & watch station (radar & ECDIS workstation), wings, etc., or by input from other equipment on the bridge capable of registering operator’s action in positions giving proper look out, e.g. operation of radars or ECDIS.
Movement of OOW (or other thing) detected by the motion sensors in wheelhouse is not sufficient to demonstrate the OOW’s mental alertness…’
