Recommendations

Recommendations for improvements to electronic navigation systems for leisure vessels were compiled as a result of work on the first edition of Electronic Navigation Systems - Guidance for safe use of leisure vessels booklet. These recommendations did not sit comfortably in the booklet so can be viewed  here. We offer these as inputs to manufacturers and official bodies to assist the safety of leisure vessels through better design or regulation.
