Difference between voyage planning and passage planning

At the beginning of June 2009 Jeppesen Navigation (see our LINK LIST below) announced it had reached an agreement with the Chilean Naval Hydrographic Office to publish Jeppesen Marine Pilotage Chartscovering Chilean waters. In our consulting capacity NAUTICAL LOG had cause to review voyage and passage planning generally. This in turn led to a complete review of IMO Resolution A.893 (21) Annex 25 of SOLAS V - Guidelines for Voyage Planning.
Recently there was a disgraceful, scathing, biased NTSB Report on the MS. "Cosco Busan" incident in which that vessel, under Compulsory Pilotage, rammed a bridge support in San Francisco Harbor. The NTSB Report was saved only by the dissent attachment by Member Deborah A. P. Hersman. One of the issues discussed was the responsibility of the vessel to plan the entire voyage from berth to berth. It occurred to NAUTICAL LOG that the IMO requirement might be improved upon and so here is the first Post of a series followed by a Proposal. We shall address the subject in two parts, "Guidelines for Voyage Planning" and "Ship Passage Planning".
Some background, IMO Resolution A. 285 (VIII) states:
"Despite the duties and obligations of a pilot, his presence on board does not relieve the officer of the watch from his duties and obligations for the safety of the vessel. He should co-operate closely with the pilot and maintain an accurate check on the vessel's position and movements. If he is in any doubt as to the pilot's actions or intentions, he should seek clarification from the pilot and if doubt still exists he should notify the master immediately and take whatever action is necessary before the master arrives."
Now from the above wording this seems to presume two things, first the Master is not on the Bridge, and second only males are officer of the watch. One must therefore further presume that the IMO is using "he" as a generic term. Also in a Compulsory Pilotage situation this places the OOW in a very tricky and difficult position. My advice would be for the OOW to immediately call the Master to the Bridge as soon as he/she feels any unease with the Pilot.
Guidelines for Voyage Planning
Objective;
The development of a plan for the voyage or passage as well as the close and continuous monitoring of the vessel's progress and position during the execution of the plan. The need for a plan applies to all vessels and the size and type of vessel must be considered when formulating the plan. All information must be assembled as the requirement is a plan covering from berth to berth it therefore includes the period a pilot will be on board.

Voyage planning, also referred to as passage planning, is the detailed procedure of laying out a vessel’s voyage from start to finish."
To plan is to first establish all the details of what is required on the passage such as plotting the course, resources: stores and supplies, fuel and water; anticipated ports of call, passage fees and dues and visa requirements and so forth.
Appraisal is the informed consideration of the anticipated risks, possible problems you might expect to encounter and the likelihood or extent to which the plan is reasonable or may need to be flexible.
From which you might then plan a contingency.
