This section describes the requirements regarding the navigation workstation and voyage planning workstation. It states the different types of equipment and facilities that should be present, and their specifications. Chapter 9, section 3.1.13 states that the navigational systems and equipment are to be of a type approved by the national administration and in conformity with appropriate performance standards not inferior to those adopted by IMO.

It is important to note that PT 7 CH 9 Section 3 does not state all performance standards that the equipment is required to meet. The performance standards are documented in SOLAS Chapter V, Regulation 18: Approval, surveys and performance standards of navigational systems and equipment and voyage data recorder, and in regulation 19 - Carriage requirements for shipborne navigational systems and equipment.
