4 Documentations
4.1 Supplier's operational manuals
The operational manuals cover subsystems and technically different parts within the Integrated Navigation System. The manuals should also include operational procedures related to the nautical tasks, such as automatic plotting, piloting, monitoring pilotage and execution of the Passage Plan.
The documentation of an Integrated Joystick Control and Dynamic Positioning System should also inform about the hull forces during manoeuvring.
Integrated systems are programmed for special tasks with various parameters to meet the requirements of different vessel types and operation areas. The parameters are divided into different categories. The user should be provided with a list of the parameters with a description of their purpose. The parameters are usually grouped in three categories:
- Permanent parameters, which are inserted during maintenance.
- User defined parameters, which can be changed during operation.
- User defined parameters, which can be changed before operation.
Integrated Navigation Systems are subject to continual development. When new programme versions are installed the new manuals or pages to the manuals have to be delivered simultaneously. In case of loose-leaf documents, version numbers and dates of issue should be identifiable for every page.
