ISO 24482:2023(E)
Introduction
The purpose for having a standard on bridge visibility for large yachts was triggered by the fact that the
International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) of the International Maritime Organization
(IMO) does not provide dedicated regulations for large yachts. Typically, large yachts are regulated by
means of interpretations and one-off exemptions by the local surveyors. The statutory regulations do
not give any unambiguous guidance or regulations for bridge visibility.
Hence, this document is considered as a way forward to create a clear and level playing field for the
[2][3][10]
large yachts industry that builds the yachts according to the applicable Yacht Code . It is based on
[1] [5]
IMO SOLAS, Chapter V, IMO MSC Circ.982 and IMO MSC Circ.1350 . It also addresses some aspects of
[12]
the “unconventional design” as mentioned in SOLAS, Chapter V, Regulation 22.3 .
The industry can benefit from this document in a way that suits the yacht design and considers the safe
navigation of yachts. The document aims to enable users to save time in the designing and building of
wheelhouses.

3.1
blind sector
measured arc from a position that indicates an obstructed view of the sea surface by any fixed object
outside or inside the wheelhouse
Note 1 to entry: See 5.6 to determine the field of vision (3.6) from a working position.
3.2
bridge
area from which the navigation and control of the yacht is exercised, including the wheelhouse and
bridge wings (3.3)
3.3
bridge wing
part of the bridge (3.2), on both sides of the yacht’s wheelhouse, which, in general, extends to the yacht’s
side
3.4
external obstruction
any loose item that is placed on the deck and that can be repositioned by the crew
3.5
docking operation
manoeuvring of the yacht alongside a berth, another yacht or other structure, and control of the
mooring operations
3.6
field of vision
angular size of scenery being observable from a position within the yacht’s bridge (3.2)

ISO 24482:2023(E)
3.7
flybridge
open area on the highest deck that provides unobstructed views to the fore, the aft and the sides of the
yacht and is equipped to be used for the working positions
3.8
glare
excessive demand for visual adaptation brought on by the retina's exposure to more light than it can
tolerate
Note 1 to entry: It is produced when any luminance within the visual field is sufficiently greater than the
luminance to which the eye is adjusted.
3.9
reflection
return of light from a surface, and production of an image by or as if by a mirror
3.10
height of eye
vertical distance of the centre of the eye above the finished interior floor of the bridge deck at a working
position
3.11
helmsman
designated person who steers the yacht under way
3.12
length
distance from the forward side of the stem to the aftermost side of the stern including the bulwark, but
without bowsprit, pulpit, flagpole and any other outfitting part
3.13
sunscreen
fabric that can be installed temporarily on all applicable bridge (3.2) windows in order to improve the
visibility and reduce eye strain in bright sunshine
3.14
totally enclosed bridge
bridge (3.2) without open bridge wings (3.3), so that the bridge wings form an integral part of an
enclosed wheelhouse
3.15
wheelhouse
enclosed area of the bridge (3.2)
3.16
window blind
opaque window-covering to keep light out of a certain space, i.e. to create privacy
3.17.1
conning position
position on the bridge (3.2) with a commanding view, used by navigators and pilots when commanding,
manoeuvring and controlling the yacht's movements
3.17.2
additional conning station
workstation used for navigation, providing a commanding view with access to radar and navigational
chart in addition to information required for conning, which can serve as an alternative conning station
for the navigator or pilot when required

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
ISO 24482:2023(E)
3.17.3
monitoring position
workstation from which the operating equipment and surrounding environment can be permanently
observed in seated/standing position
3.17.4
steering position
position of the helmsman to manually steer the yacht
3.17.5
docking position
position of the navigator or pilot from where docking operations (3.5) are conducted and mooring
operations can be supervised
3.17.6
navigating position
position on the bridge (3.2) where the navigator or pilot can make full appraisal of the situation in
navigating the yacht
4 Bridge construction
4.1 Bridge position
A horizontal field of vision to the horizon of 360° (at 1 nautical mile distance) shall be obtained by using
not more than two positions within the confines of the bridge (see Figure 1).
In case the nature of the yacht design complicates strict compliance with this requirement,
a) a flybridge can be assigned as the conning position, which can typically, but not exclusively, be the
case with sailing yachts, or
b) a remote camera system can be used [see 5.8 d)], or
c) subject to the agreement of the Administration, the operator can apply for alternative options (see
also ISO 8468).

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.

Introduction

The purpose for having a standard on bridge visibility standard for large yachts was triggered by the fact
that the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) of the International Maritime
Organization (IMO International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) does not provide
dedicated regulations for large yachts. Typically, large yachts are regulated by means of interpretations
and one-off exemptions by the local surveyors. The statutory regulations do not give any unambiguous
guidance or regulations for bridge visibility.
Hence, this document was feltis considered as a sensible way forward to create a clear and level playing
