[接上页] (a) an observer, when viewing the display, faces forward and is readily able to maintain visual look-out; (b) there is sufficient space for 2 observers to view the display simultaneously.(3) The radar installation shall, where practicable, be mounted so as to prevent the performance and reliability of the installation being adversely affected by vibration and so that the installation will not, whilst in service, normally be subject to greater vibration than that specified in the "General Requirements for Marine Navigational Equipment, 1982", issued by the Department of Transport. (Enacted 1991) Cap 369AJ reg 24 Alignment of heading marker The radar heading marker (and stern marker if fitted) shall be aligned to within 1o of the ship's fore-and-aft line as soon as practicable after the radar installation has been installed in the ship. Where inter-switching facilities are provided, the heading marker shall be aligned with all arrangements of units. The marker shall be re-aligned as soon as practicable whenever it is found to be substantially inaccurate. (Enacted 1991) Cap 369AJ reg 25 Measurement of shadow sectors The angular width and bearing of any shadow sectors displayed by the radar installation shall be determined and recorded. The record shall be shown on a diagram adjacent to the radar display and be kept up to date following any change likely to affect shadow sectors. (Enacted 1991) Cap 369AJ reg 26 Display sizes A radar installation required to be provided which is installed on board a ship on or after 1 September 1984 shall provide a relative plan display having an effective diameter, without external magnification, of not less than- (a) 180* millimetres on ships of 500 tons or over but less than 1600 tons; (b) 250* millimetres on ships of 1600 tons or over but less than 10000 tons; (c) 340* millimetres in the case of one radar installation and 250 millimetres in the case of the other on ships of 10000 tons or over.*Note: Display diameters of 180, 250 and 340 millimetres correspond respectively to 9, 12 and 16 inch cathode ray tubes. (Enacted 1991) Cap 369AJ reg 27 Echo sounder performance standards PART IV ECHO SOUNDER INSTALLATION Every echo sounder installation required to be provided shall comply with the performance standards adopted by the Organization and shall, in addition, in the case of a Hong Kong ship, comply with the relevant performance specification. (Enacted 1991) Cap 369AJ reg 28 Siting of echo sounder installation (1) The transducer unit or units of such echo sounder installation shall be sited so as to avoid, where practicable, the vicinity of all underwater openings in, or projections from, the hull, such as plugs, anodes or other transducers, so that satisfactory overall performance is achieved. (2) The echo sounder graphical display shall, where practicable, be sited on the bridge in a position to facilitate easy access and viewing, and where the effect of any lighting necessary for the equipment does not interfere with the keeping of an effective look-out. (Enacted 1991) Cap 369AJ reg 29 Speed and distance measuring equipment performance standards PART V SPEED AND DISTANCE MEASURING INSTALLATION Every speed and distance measuring installation required to be provided shall comply with the performance standards adopted by the Organization and shall, in addition, in the case of a Hong Kong ship, comply with the relevant performance specification. (Enacted 1991) Cap 369AJ reg 30 Siting of speed and distance measuring installation (1) Where applicable, the transducer unit of the speed and distance measuring installation shall be sited so as to avoid, where practicable, the vicinity of all underwater openings in, or projections from, the hull, such as plugs, anodes or other transducers, so that satisfactory overall performance is achieved. (2) Where a towed log is fitted, the position of the log register shall be selected so that the log line and its rotator when streamed are as clear as is practicable from disturbed water in the close vicinity of the ship and so that the rotation of the log line is not impeded by any part of the ship or its equipment. (3) The display shall, where practicable, be sited on the bridge in a position to facilitate easy access and viewing and where the effect of any lighting necessary for the equipment does not interfere with the keeping of an effective look-out. (Enacted 1991) Cap 369AJ reg 31 Direction-finder performance standards PART VI DIRECTION-FINDER INSTALLATION Every direction-finder installation required to be provided shall comply with the performance standards adopted by the Organization and shall, in addition, in the case of a Hong Kong ship, comply with the relevant performance specification. (Enacted 1991) Cap 369AJ reg 32 Interference with reception (1) Radio antennas installed in any ship required to be fitted with a direction-finder installation which rise above the base of, and are within 17 metres horizontal distance of, the loop antennas of the direction-finder installation shall be isolated whenever bearings are being obtained by the direction-finder installation: |
