About this resource

Bridge manning levels and calling a lookout are governed by international watchkeeping standards under the STCW Code, ensuring safe navigation and proper crew rest. The officer in charge must be qualified, supported by adequate manning, and call a lookout whenever visibility, traffic, or operational conditions demand extra vigilance.
