Extract

Once the performance requirements of the Ministry of Transport Specification have been met, there remains to be considered the arrangement of the equipment to enable the ship's officers to take full advantage of the high performance for which the specification provides. These considerations can be classed in three main categories: the method of presenting information to the navigating officer, the convenience of the various controls, and the facilities provided to enable superficial maintenance to be undertaken.
