In general the bridge alert management system (BAMS) has been designed to give sustained support to the Officer of the Watch - especially in multiple alarm situations by merging all possible alerts into a harmonized presentation on a central screen. This centralized alarm management tool is guiding the OOW by indicating all connected nautical systems in graduated categories. The bridge alert management system BAM le guardian 3000 controls all audible alarms on the bridge by a bi-directional alarm, acknowledge and sound off interface. The system provides alarm specific instruction assisting the OOW to react appropriately. A continuous event log ensures data is permanently available for systematic analysis of critical incidents or other exceptionals. An integrated Type Approved (wheel marked) bridge navigational watch alarm system (BNWAS) transfers unattended alarms automatically to selected backup officer areas.
