THEME: Bridge Visibility – Eyes Looking Towards “Blind” Sectors
The idea of looking at the importance of bridge design to provide an effective visual lookout and a navigation watch came out during a Bridge Resource Management – Ship Handling Seminar.
J. Papanikolaou searched the applicable SOLAS requirements on bridge visibility, the permissible single and total blind sectors in different loading conditions, making a comparison between a container ship and a membrane type LNG carrier.
