Did you know
- The Furuno BR-500 Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System (BNWAS) was introduced around 2011-2012, coinciding with new IMO regulations making BNWAS mandatory for many vessels. This system was developed to meet the IMO resolution MSC.128(75) and MSC.302(87) for Bridge Alert Management.
- The BR-500 is a dedicated Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System, focusing specifically on monitoring the watch officer's presence. In contrast, the Furuno BR-1000 is a more comprehensive Bridge Alarm System that not only includes watch safety system functions but also collectively manages and presents alarm information from various onboard equipment.
- The BR-500 is chosen for its compliance with IMO regulations for BNWAS and its straightforward, easy-to-install design, featuring a single-cable connection between the processor and peripheral devices. It effectively monitors the watch officer's presence to prevent maritime casualties by initiating a sequence of alarms if inactivity is detected.
