Guidelines for usage of Track Guidance Assistants for Inland Navigation (TGAIN)
Year: 2026 Language: English Author: OCIMF Genre: Guidance Notes, Textbooks Publisher: Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) Edition: 1st Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 28 Description: Track Guidance Assistant for Inland Navigation (TGAIN) is a system that supports the boatmaster or user and reduces their workload by automatically steering a vessel along a predefined track. The track is to be displayed on a device that meets the requirements of the local authorities’ Inland Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS). A TGAIN requires information from other sensors (e.g. heading, position, rate of turn) and acts via actuators on the steering of the vessel (rudder system and/or propulsion system). Sensors, actuators and Inland ECDIS equipment are not part of a TGAIN. This information paper provides safe practice recommendations related to performance criteria for TGAINs, and installation and implementation of TGAIN devices on board. It also describes recommended types of user training and procedures to be provided by technical operators and/or ship owners. The advice given is based on TGAIN technologies available and anticipated at the time of publishing. It does not cover artificial intelligence or augmented reality.
