Heed the guidance published Marine Guidance Notice (MGN) 84 (F) with particular regards to the following:

  • The need to ensure that a proper lookout is maintained at all times

  • The need to ensure that watchkeepers are fit for duty at all times, taking account of the quality and quantity of rest taken

  • The strongly recommended practice of fitting a watch alarm where there will be only one person on watch

  • The need to ensure that the person on watch does not undertake any other duties that would interfere with the safe navigation
