Published: January 2022

The new ICS Bridge Procedures Guide has been written to reflect the rapid technological advances taking place in the shipping industry and to equip users to deal with the digital transformation taking place on the bridge.

For over 40 years, this bestselling Guide has reflected and defined current best practice on the bridges of merchant ships operating in all sectors and trades. Now in its sixth edition, it is widely acknowledged as the leading industry guidance on safe bridge procedures and is a recommended carriage on all vessels by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

Regularly used by Masters, watchkeeping officers, shipping companies, training institutions and accident investigators worldwide, the Guide continues to be an essential tool for those in charge of a navigational watch.

Thoroughly revised and updated to be relevant to today’s international shipping landscape, the new edition provides clear guidance on best practice approaches to watchkeeping that make safe and effective use of modern technology, and embrace internationally agreed standards and recommendations adopted by the IMO.

The sixth edition of the Guide features:

Increased guidance on non-navigational procedures;
New sections on the human element, Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) safety settings, category zone of confidence (CATZOC), weather routeing, communications with the engine control room, cargo operations, risk assessments and permits to work, ship stability, ballast water management, errors associated with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and characteristics of radar;
More visual aids to improve understanding and support on board training; and
Simplified language to reflect current best practice in writing guidelines and checklists.

The Bridge Procedures Guide complements the guidance in the ICS Engine Room Procedures Guide and, when used in collaboration, readers can be confident they are gaining a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the latest best practice operations in the industry.

It is strongly recommended that a copy of the sixth edition is carried on board every ship, and that copies are held within shipping company technical departments.

MS SeaReader - Catalogue

SeaReader 1.6 includes many minor changes and bug fixes. New Edition was released September 2023.

SeaReader is a digital technical catalogue for use on board vessels or in the office. It stores all of the publications that are needed on board and displays them in a digital format that is fast and easy to use.

New Editions
Publications that are in the announcements section of the distributor portal will also appear as “New Publications” in SeaReader. They will be at the top of the Catalogue view and be marked with a yellow star.

Offline Mode
SeaReader can now operate without any internet connection. The user must provide their distributor with an Activation file from the settings window of a SeaReader client.

Custom Notes
Users are now able to add their own custom notes to the publications inside SeaReader. These notes can then be searched for and the user can jump to the page for easy access to important content. Notes can also be exported and shared to other users. This will allow educators to share premade notes with students or shipping companies to indicate important items of text in a publication.

eBooks are available to purchase individually or in bulk and once installed, the SeaReader is easy to use.

The digital library is easy to access and update and you don’t need to be online to access the publications. SeaReader makes compliance inspections easy by having the latest mandatory publications on board at all times.
The shipping costs and administration associated with maintaining a paper library are removed - there are no physical books to ship and the entire library is updated with the click of a button.

SeaReader contains Flag State Regulations from Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Canada, Cayman Islands, Cyprus, Denmark, Hong Kong, Isle of Man, Liberia, Malta, Marshall Islands, Netherlands, Norway, Panama, Singapore, United Kingdom, USA and Red Ensign Group. Included e-books from IMO, Brown, Son & Ferguson, Imray, and a growing list of other maritime publishers.

SeaReader keeps the administrative work on board to a minimum as the latest set of publications are always available.
The easy to use system makes it quick and easy to see what books are on board the vessel. One annual licence provides access to paid for ebooks on two separate PCs.

SeaReader is simple, very easy and intuitive to use. With one-click updating and filtered search results, it is quick and easy to find the information you need. There is no need for additional work to make sure your vessel is flag state compliant, as SeaReader does this for you.
