According to some recent information, a vessel calling Newcastle was pointed out a deficiency of * SOLAS V/17.3 by AMSA ( Australian Maritime Safety Authority ). Though it isn't clear as for the details of the deficiency, a port state control officer found out a crew who was talking by the cellular phone in the bridge, as for SOLAS Chapter-V 17.3 , the correspondence of the ship is prescribed as ;
//// SOLAS Chapter-V 17.3 //// Portable electrical and electronic equipment shall not be operated on the bridge if it may affect the proper function of navigational systems and equipment.

In view of this case, masters are requested not to operate "Portable electrical and electronic equipment (including cellular phone) " in the bridge if it may affect the proper function of "navigational systems &
equipment" Although we have no authority to pass a judgment either way, we indeed welcome any comment from our sailing staff basis their personal experience on this issue.
