The BNWAS system gives an alarm to prevent accidents at sea if it detects abnormalities in the watch officer’s condition. If the system is not reset within the designated time period, the system will give visible and audible alarms in stages, as well as inform other officers.
In accordance with the SOLAS Chapter 5 19 revision, it is required that all new building vessels built on and after July 1, 2011 (Passenger vessels and all other vessels of 150gt and over)have BNWAS installed. Also, existing vessels built before July 1, 2011, with relation to the vessel type and size, must also have BNWAS as per the SOLAS defined time periods
