The BNWAS is designed to monitor the presence of the OOW on the Bridge. Helping to
improve safety and prevent marine accidents.
The BMWAS can be switched off only by the Master under the following circumstances:
When the ship is under pilotage, or at times when the bridge is manned by more than one
officer such as when in confined waters or similar time when the continuous manual reset
of the BNWAS alarm could distract the OOW from effective bridge team management.
