The document lists equipment that should be checked prior to a vessel's arrival in port, including clocks, propeller controls, deck power, navigation aids, sounders, position fixing systems, engine stops, engines, compasses, communications, lights, signals, steering gear, and thrusters. It also outlines four checks for navigating in ice, including moderate speed, frequent sounding of tanks and bilges, monitoring ice advisories, and transmitting danger messages. Finally, it provides requirements for ice and severe ice accretion reports, including type, position, time, temperatures, and wind details.

BPG-Eight items of equipment that should have been prepared and checked prior to
vessel’s arrival in port.
B7-Preparations for Arrival Equipment Checks (Tested and Ready for Use) 1. Clocks synchronized with engine room 2. Controllable pitch propeller controls and indicators 3. Deck power 4. ECDIS and/or other electronic navigation aids 5. Echo sounder 6. Electronic position fixing systems 7. Emergency engine stops 8. Engine(s)/propulsion (ahead and astern) 9. Gyro/magnetic compass and repeaters, including repeater in steering gear area 10. Internal communications (particularly bridge to engine room/bridge to mooring stations) 11. Navigation lights, shapes and sound signals 12. RPM and ROT indicators 13. Signaling equipment including flags, search lights and signal lamps 14. Steering gear (Checklist B1) Thrusters
Four (4) checks by the OOW Navigating in Ice (BPG B15-Navigation in Ice *) - MIMTIC
1. Moderate speed as appropriate in the conditions
2. Increase the frequency of sounding tanks and bilges 3. Monitor ice advisory service broadcasts 4. Transmit danger messages in accordance with SOLAS
*Action
Inform the Master of the proximity of ice
Inform the engine room of the proximity of ice Inform the crew of the proximity to ice Close all watertight doors
Outline the reporting requirements of ;
Ice -The message should contain 1. The type of ice 2. The position of the ice 3. GMT and date of the observation Severe ice accretion-The message should contain: 1. The date and GMT 2. The position of the ship 3. The air and sea temperatures 4. The force & direction of the wind
