    PORT OF PORT HEDLAND

    MARINE SAFETY BULLETIN


    02/2024

    Capesize vessels (nominal deadweight > 120,000) to be equipped with a


    CCTV camera at the steering gear flat

    Issue Date: 30/05/2024

    Mariners and Port users,

    Pilbara Ports maintains a high focus on managing risk within Port Hedland’s main shipping
    channel and inner harbour. To enhance navigational safety and operational efficiency within the
    Port of Port Hedland, Pilbara Ports are implementing a new requirement for Capesize vessels
    (nominal deadweight > 120,000) entering and operating within the port.

    New Requirement:

    Effective from 1st Jan 2025, all Capesize vessels (nominal deadweight > 120,000) are to be
    fitted with a minimum of one (1) Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) rudder camera installed at
    the steering gear flat, positioned in such a way that clearly captures the rudder angles during
    manoeuvring.

    A monitor must be placed on the wheelhouse in the proximity of coning positions, providing real-
    time visual CCTV camera feedback of the rudder angle for Marine Pilot/bridge team reference
    during the transit to/from berth.

    Details:

    CCTV Camera Installation:

    • The CCTV camera must be mounted on top or in front of the rudder in the steering gear
    flat.
    • The CCTV camera must be positioned to provide a clear and unobstructed view of the
    rudder angle.

    Bridge Monitor:

    • A CCTV camera monitor must be installed on the bridge where it is easily visible to the
    Marine Pilot/ bridge team.
    • The CCTV camera monitor must display real-time footage from the steering gear flat,
    ensuring the pilot can accurately monitor and adjust the rudder angles during navigation.

    System Requirements:

    • The CCTV system should be robust and capable of functioning effectively in the maritime
    environment. It should provide high-resolution images and reliable performance in all
    operating conditions.
