It is not something that should be taken lightly as it carries responsibility for the safety of the ship. The consequences of omitting information and/or failing to safely plan the passage can be serious. The navigation officer preparing the passage plan (navigator) must be diligent and seek to produce a comprehensive and detailed 'berth to berth' plan based on a full appraisal, taking into account all possibilities and eventualities, while reducing navigational risk. An effective passage plan, whether it is completed using paper charts or ECDIS, must: • Establish appropriate safety settings for each stage of the voyage, taking into account the requirements of the SMS • clearly define a safe navigational route from berth to berth • be comprehensive and contain an appropriate level of detail • reduce navigational risks and include contingency options • satisfy environmental protection requirements • be checked visually and electronically • be reviewed and approved by the Master • be easy to follow, allowing safe and efficient execution and monitoring of the plan.
