> NTSB Warns Against The Use Of Cell Phones

> Today the NTSB sent out a warning against the sue of cell phones on the
> bridge of ships. The Coast Guard quickly followed with a similar warning
> writing:
> The U.S. Coast Guard is reviewing a National Transportation Safety Board
> recommendation Wednesday that the service develop policies on the use of
> cellular phones on Coast Guard vessels as well as issue a safety advisory to
> the marine industry on the possible dangers of crewmember use of electronic
> communications devices such as cell phones, smart phones and personal data
> assistants.
> The Coast Guard issued guidance July 16, 2010 to its personnel prohibiting
> the use of these devices by operators of Coast Guard boats and also
> restricted their use by other crewmembers.
> "While cell phones and texting devices have become ubiquitous in everyday
> life, the internal Coast Guard policy issued in July prohibits their use on
> Coast Guard boats without the permission of the coxswain, said Lt. Cmdr.
> Chris O'Neil, a Coast Guard spokesman. "The policy also strictly prohibits
> the use of these devices by the coxswain, or the operator, of a Coast Guard
> boat."
> Cell phones and texting devices may be useful communication tools if boats
> lose a marine radio signal or as alternate means of communication to a marine
> radio.
> The Coast Guard takes the NTSB recommendations seriously and will provide a
> response to the letter upon a thorough review.
> The NTSB recommendation comes amid investigations into two collisions
> involving Coast Guard boats but does not draw any conclusions that the use of
> electronic devices was a cause of those accidents.
> NTSB and Coast Guard investigations into those two accidents are ongoing.
> What are your thoughts on the use of cell phones and mobile internet devices
> aboard ship?
