Abstract
 Tokyo Keiki BNWAS WAS-1000 satisfies BNWAS performance standards of IMO Resolution MSC.128(75). The functions are watch-monitoring, providing emergency call and transferring alarms of the external equipment such as TCS (track control system) and INS (integrated navigation system). The system informs VDR (voyage data recorder) and INS of the transition state of watch-monitoring indication and alarm, and outputs BNWAS failure information to VDR and BAMS (bridge alert management system). In summary, this system keeps on watching providing officer on watch with attention step by step, and emergency call and transferring external system’s alarms are available to contribute to the safe navigation.
