                           GUIDELINES FOR PASSAGE PLANNING


         Attached form of Passage Plan has been prepared by PRISCO Safety depart-
ment in accordance with the requirements of IMO Resolution A 893 (21) " Guidelines
for voyage planning "

    PRISCO requires that every voyage, of any length, to be supported by a properly
documented passage plan which has been prepared by the designated navigating officer
and checked and approved by the Master. Passage planning is necessary to support the
bridge team and ensure that the ship can be navigated safely between ports from berth to
berth. The passage plan should cover ocean, coastal and pilotage waters. Passage plans
must be retained on file and made available for inspection by the company and third
parties. One passage plan may be used for repeat voyages but it must be checked for
changes in any part of the plan and the new dates of use entered.

     Voyage and passage planning includes appraisal, i.e. gathering all information re-
levant to the contemplated voyage or passage; detailed planning of the whole voyage or
passage from berth to berth, including those areas where a pilot will be on board; execu-
tion of the plan; and the monitoring of the progress of the vessel in the implementation
of the plan.

      It is necessary to recognise that more up-to-date information may be received after
initial appraisal.
      The latest editions of all the charts should be selected and corrected up to date
from the latest weekly Notices to Mariners received on board. In addition they must be
corrected up to date in respect of both permanent and temporary Notices to Mariners
and existing radio navigational warnings. This appraisal should provide a clear indica-
tion of all areas of danger ; those areas where it will be possible to navigate safely, in-
cluding any existing routeing or reporting systems and vessel traffic services ; and any
areas with marine environmental protection considerations.

     On the basis of the fullest possible appraisal, a detailed voyage or passage plan
should be prepared and it should cover the entire voyage or passage from berth to berth,
including those areas where the services of a pilot will be used. Particularly where the
master has limited local knowledge of the pilotage waters, it is recommended that a pre-
arrival exchange of information take place with the pilot before boarding. Depending on
circumstances, the main details of the plan should be clearly marked in appropriate
places on the charts to be used during the passage. The main details of the passage plan
and supporting information relative to the passage should also be recorded in a bridge
notebook used specially for this purpose to allow reference to details of the plan at the
conning position without the need to consult the chart.
     Each voyage or passage plan as well as the details of the plan should be approved
by the ship's master prior to the commencement of the voyage or passage.

     Having finalized the voyage or passage plan, as soon as time of departure and es-
timated time of arrival can be made with reasonable accuracy, the voyage or passage
