The position is fixed at sufficiently frequent intervals to ensure that the ship follows the planned course

The frequency of position fixing must be such that the vessel cannot run into danger during the interval between the fixes. The frequency of position fixing must be in compliance with the passage plan, and must ensure that the ship’s position is effectively monitored in relation to the proximity of navigation hazards when the speed and draft of the ship are taken into

account.

While at anchor, the position of the vessel must be monitored and recorded at sufficiently frequent intervals

The frequency of monitoring and recording the position must be such that the vessel cannot be put in danger during the interval between the fixes and must ensure that the ship’s position is effectively monitored and recorded, by means such as bearing and distance or visual bearings.

More than one method of fixing position was used during deep sea passages

There must be evidence that at least two independent methods are used for fixing the ship’s position when in open sea. The evidence should consist of plotted positions on the chart together with identification of the position fixing system/method used (log book or work book entries). Where the vessel carries only one electronic position fixing aid suitable for deep sea navigation then evidence should be produced to show that celestial observations are carried out.

Where ECDIS is used as a primary means of navigation, efficient and effective cross-checking of positions should be implemented.

If celestial observations are not possible due to weather, this

This refers to magnetic compass observations and not comparisons with the gyro. This should be established from entries in a compass error book or other suitable record. This record of compass errors should be complete and up to date. The observed error should not significantly differ from what is recorded on the deviation card. Due allowance must be made for the occasions on which a compass error cannot be ascertained (visibility, weather, traffic density), and should be verified through cross-checking of the deck log book or compass log book.
