57. Every ship of 3000 tons or more shall be fitted with a 3-GHz or 9-GHz radar, or other means, that can be used to determine and display the range and bearing of other surface craft, obstructions, buoys, shorelines and navigational marks in order to assist in navigation and in collision avoidance. The 3-GHz or 9-GHz radar or other means shall be in addition to and functionally independent of the radar or other means fitted on the ship under section 48.

58. Every ship of 3000 tons or more but less than 10 000 tons shall be fitted with a second automatic tracking aid, or other means, that can be used to automatically plot the range and bearing of targets in order to determine collision risk. The second automatic tracking aid or other means shall be in addition to and functionally independent of the automatic tracking aid or other means fitted on the ship under section 54.

59. Every ship of 10 000 tons or more shall be fitted with an automatic radar plotting aid, or other means, that can be used to automatically plot the range and bearing of at least 20 targets. The automatic radar plotting aid or other means shall be connected to a device that can be used to indicate speed and distance travelled through the water in order to determine collision risks and simulate a trial manoeuvre.

60. Every ship of 10 000 tons or more that is engaged on an international voyage or a voyage beyond the limits of a home-trade voyage, Class IV, or a minor waters voyage shall be fitted with a heading or track control system, or other means, that can be used to automatically control, and keep to, a heading or straight track.

61. Every ship of 50 000 tons or more shall be fitted with a rate-of-turn indicator, or other means, that can be used to determine and display the rate of turn.

62. Every ship of 50 000 tons or more shall be fitted with a speed-and-distance measuring device, or other means, that can be used to indicate the speed and distance over the ground in the forward and athwartships direction.

• 63. (1) Every ship that is required by the Ship Station (Radio) Regulations, 1999 to be equipped with a VHF radio installation capable of digital selective calling (DSC) and every ship of 150 tons or more that is engaged on an international voyage or a voyage other than a minor waters voyage or a home-trade voyage, Class IV, shall be fitted with a receiver for a global navigation satellite system or a terrestrial radionavigation system, or other means, that can be used at all times throughout the intended voyage to establish and update the ship’s position by automatic means.

• (2) If the ship is of less than 150 tons, the receiver may be integral to the VHF radio installation capable of DSC.

• 64. (1) Every Canadian ship of 200 tons or more but less than 300 tons that was constructed on or after September 1, 1984 shall be fitted with a radar, or other means, that can be used to determine and display the range and bearing of radar transponders and of other surface craft, obstructions, buoys, shorelines and navigational marks to assist in navigation and in collision avoidance.

• (2) The radar shall

  • (a) be a 9-GHz radar if the ship is a Safety Convention ship or if the radar was fitted on the ship after March 1, 2001; and

  • (b) be provided with facilities for plotting at or close to each radar display and, if the ship is of 1600 tons or more, be at least as effective as a reflection plotter.
