be lost in the sea clutter. Ice Navigation Guidelines The purpose of the following guidelines is to enhance vessel safety and provide consistent application by all Masters of company vessels: Daylight transit only when ice formation of sufficient size and quantity to hinder vessels navigation is reported in or in vicinity of traffic lanes. Reduce speed as to ensure vessels manoeuvrability. This reduces possibility and extends of damage in case of accidental vessel contact with ice. When manoeuvring in ice, track follow-up should be, at all times, within established boundaries of Traffic separation scheme. Navigation outside these boundaries should only be considered in an emergency situation and in consultation with local port or coast authorities. When navigating in vicinity of ice, the Master and a lookout shall be on bridge. The Master shall consider posting watch according to prevailing environmental conditions and in interest of vessels safety. When in escort of tugs the vessel must maintain radio contact throughout the passage and properly inform the tugs of all major course and / or speed changes.

Accidental Oil Spillage or Leakage Even a few drops of oil into the sea are considered as pollution and will in almost all cases result in a considerable fine. Therefore, the Master has to do their utmost to avoid any pollution. Attention is drawn to the fact, that in certain cases the Master may loose their license. In consequence, the Master and/or Engineer may be sentenced to pay a fee from their own pocket. The following precautionary measures are recommended to reduce the risk of pollution: regular (maybe daily) sounding of all tanks and void spaces; bilge overboard valves must be closed and secured in this position; bunkering procedures are to be carried out with all necessary precautions and safety measures in place; overfilling of bunker tanks during transferring should be avoided; proper stowage of oily waste and rags etc.; direct bilge pumping overboard under no circumstances; the Master shall verify that the oily water separator and the anti-pollution equipment is in good order, properly stowed and that sufficient stock and spares are available; the Master shall verify that the bunkering procedure is read, understood and followed by all crew members involved; the Master shall verify that the SOPEP (Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan) on board is up to date and that the crew is trained accordingly.

8.14 COLLISION
The Master is responsible for taking all appropriate precautions to avoid collision, such as: adequate lookout under consideration of the visibility and area; regular checking of the condition of navigational equipment; use of up-to-date, corrected charts and the separation schemes; NAVTEX reports to be read and evaluated by the Chief Mate; clear watch instructions are to be given.

the vessels; providing assistance to the other vessel if required; making adequate log book entries (deck and engine); verifying that all safety precautions have been taken to reduce the risk of fire, pollution and making sure that all safety equipment is ready for use; informing all vessels in the vicinity; informing the Company continually about the situation. All other measures/actions will be organized by the Company. A statement of facts containing the following data should be prepared: course set prior to collision; speed prior to collision, weather/sea conditions and visibility prior to collision; whether pilotage was used or not; performance and condition of the navigational instruments; radar performance and range setting prior to collision; Masters position directly prior to collision; Officer(s) and lookout on bridge prior to collision; communication with collision vessel prior to collision; preventive measures taken directly prior to collision; further remarks/details;

8.15 GROUNDING
In the event that the vessel is grounded, the Master has to obtain the following information immediately in order to evaluate the danger for the vessel and the risk of pollution: check and record the actual position; verify and record the tidal situation; verify and record the effects of the current; record the actual weather conditions including wind, sea and swell; record the weather forecast and changes in weather and sea conditions; ascertain the nature of the grounding; check the depth of water around the vessel and calculate the required buoyancy for the re-floating with draft and the trim after re-floating; evaluate the condition of the vessel including stress on the hull; carry out soundings for leakage of all tanks and void spaces, particularly the engine room, tanks and cargo holds; inform the Company about the present situation; inform fully the coast-guard station, port authority and agent. The Master should only attempt to re-float the vessel using his own engine force when he is sure that the propeller is free and will remain free when turning. The Master shall evaluate whether de-ballasting, dropping of all fresh water and bunker transfer would assist the re-floating of the vessel or reduce the danger to the ship; the Master shall contact the port authority to request information regarding the ground around the vessel and the presence of any obstructions such as wrecks, underwater cables etc.; if possible, the master shall await the high tide prior to any attempt to re-float the vessel with or without the engine; during the attempt to re-float the vessel, the Master shall not take any risks particularly when there is danger of pollution; Salvage assistance - if needed - should only be requested with the Companys

approval. This does not affect the Masters authority concerning all safety matters on board the ship.

8.16 ACCIDENTS AND MEDICAL MATTERS


General In the event of an accident or injury to a crew member, the Master must forward a full report to the crewing agency and also immediately inform the shore-based management. Should an accident or injury occur to any other person or shore employee whilst on board, the Master is to forward a detailed report to the Company together with the names and addresses of witnesses. The attention of the Master and the officers is drawn to the avoidance of legal consequences which may arise from an accident or injury to a person whilst working on board, boarding or leaving the vessel, or rendering a service to the vessel, outside of the vessel, or in any other connection with the vessel. Most important is that all means must be taken to prevent accidents. Prevention measures which contribute to this are: The wearing of proper working clothes including shoes and helmets; clean, dry and well illuminated working areas on deck and engine; well marked obstructions (doors, frames, steps, pipes etc.); properly stowed/lashed cargo and spare parts, tools, drums etc.; no smoking in areas where inflammable gases or other substances are likely to be found; no alcoholic drinks prior to and during the working time; no entry to compartments/tanks which have not been ascertained as gas-free areas; sufficient lighting and venting of working areas; adequate training and education of the crew members.

Crew Accident at Sea


In the event of any accident of a crew member or any other person working on board, the Master is to arrange with a doctor or medical centre that a blood test is make in order to ascertain whether the accident was caused by the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. This measure is very important because it can support the interests of the injured person when an insurance claim is brought forward. The Master also has to do his utmost to provide medical aid to the injured person and to protect him from further injury. The Medical Guide should be consulted. Records of all events and the behavior of the patient are to be entered in the Medical Log Book, which is very important for further treatment on land if necessary. The Master should not hesitate to ask for medical advice, even in apparently simple cases. He can ask for assistance by radio from the nearest coastal radio station or from the nearest vessel with a doctor on board. In case of language difficulties, the Master should use the applicable IMO phrases. The International Code of Signals has a special medical section which gives details of all countries which provide medical advice by radio. See also Form O 09 ( TMAS Medico ) If the person has to be brought ashore for medical treatment, then the Master has to take all the necessary precautions and make arrangements to achieve safe disembarkation either by

boat or helicopter. The decision to land an injured or sick person should be based on medical advice if possible. In the event that medical advice is not available, the Master may, at his discretion, land the patient in the care of the Companys agent. The Master shall inform the Company at once about such arrangements in order to appoint a local agent who has to coordinate the operation afterwards. In the unfortunate event of death of a crew member on board, the Master is to ensure that a detailed account of the circumstances leading up to the death is made. Furthermore, the Master shall follow the procedures required by the Regulation of the Flag State. For further guidance he should refer to the publication SHIP CAPTAINS MEDICAL GUIDE

Crew Accident in Port


In this case the Master has to inform the local medical service/hospital either directly or through the local agent. The agent is to support the Master in taking all necessary actions. The Master shall hand over to the agent the passport, the completed and stamped seamans book, a signed accident report and private belongings of the seaman including clean clothing. If the crew member has to be left behind, the Master is to ensure that all personal belongings are listed and handed over to the agent or the crew member himself.

Sickness of Crew at Sea


Basically the same procedure applies here too. In addition, the symptoms of the sick person are to be recorded in the Medical Log Book. If the condition of the seaman worsens, the Shore Medical Station is to be contacted for instructions and the Company informed. If morphine or other medical drugs are used on board, this must be recorded in the Medical Log Book and the Deck Log Books, and the dosage entered into the drug inventory so that a replacement order can be made.

Crew Sickness in Port


the same procedure as in Crew Accident in Port

Accidents of Stevedores, Dockers and Visitors on board


Utmost attention to be paid to the potential legal consequences. If there is the slightest doubt, the Master is to immediately contact the local P&I representative for assistance. The maximum first aid is to be rendered and the Master is to keep in contact with the local medical centre. The Master shall record all details, even if these appear of minor importance. He shall inspect the place of accident himself to collect evidence and take photographs. The shore-based management is to be informed accordingly and an entry made in the Deck Log Book. Assisted by the P&I representative, the Master is to prepare a report complete with
