Navigation Audits
Our senior master mariners conduct advanced Navigational Audits using various bridge resources, records, ECDIS playback, AIS tracking, and satellite-based navigation analysis tools, delivering actionable assessments aligned with IMO, SOLAS, ISM Code, OCIMF, TMSA, and STCW requirements.
Our audits extend beyond compliance, focusing on the real-world performance of the Bridge Team, their decision-making under pressure, and the effectiveness with which they apply their Safety Management System (SMS) in dynamic operational conditions.
Core Audit Functions
- ECDIS Analysis: Review of passage plan execution, chart layer usage, alarm responses, and safety contour settings
- AIS & Satellite-Based Playback: Detailed voyage reconstruction, identifying route deviations, close-quarters, or near-miss events
- Bridge Resource Management (BRM): Evaluation of situational awareness, workload sharing, leadership, and communication on the bridge
- Bridge Team Management Scenarios: Real-time assessment of how teams respond to navigational hazards, heavy traffic, port entries, and fatigue-induced stress
- SMS Familiarity & Execution: Measuring how well the bridge team understands and applies company-specific navigational procedures and contingency protocols
- Human Performance Review: Behavioral insight into reactions under stress, decision fatigue, and operational discipline
With our deep expertise in marine navigation, human factors, and digital audit systems, our senior auditors enable vessel operators to:
- Enhance navigational safety and compliance
- Improve bridge team efficiency and accountability
- Prevent incidents through proactive risk identification
- Excel in vetting, PSC, and internal audits
Navigation is not just about charts, but also about decisions, behavior, and leadership on the bridge. Our expert auditors help you build that trust through our auditing process.
