5.7 TIPS FOR NIGHT NAVIGATION

During night navigation, always switch on navigation lights. As to the prearrangement and checks during navigation the same recommendations contained at section “Engine drive” are valid.

CAUTION

At night, the good sight of the crew can be particularly advantageous. Getting used to darkness requires several minutes, during which the ability to see is strongly hindered.
We recommend absolutely not to navigate at night at high speeds, to avoid hit against unexpected obstacles (floating or half-submerged bodies).
