Q

What is the MSAP?

A

The MSAP is the result of an effort enacted by Congress in 1982. It directed the Commandant
to “review Coast Guard policies and procedures for towing and salvage of disabled vessels in
order to further minimize the possibility of Coast Guard competition or interference
with…commercial enterprise.”

Q

Why was MSAP developed?

A

The review was directed because of congressional concern that Coast Guard resources were being used unnecessarily to provide non-emergency assistance to
disabled vessels that could be adequately performed by the private sector.

A

phase exists when there is knowledge of a situation that may need to be monitored, or to have more information gathered, but that does not require moving resources.

phase exists when a craft or person is experiencing some difficulty and may need assistance, but is not in immediate danger or in need of immediate response.
Apprehension is usually associated with the ALERT phase.

Q

What are the Guiding Principles for a Non-Distress Case?

A

If a commercial provider is available and can be on scene within a REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME (usually one hour or less, or amount of time it takes for situation to deteriorate) or an offer to assist is made by a responder listed in the previous paragraph, no further action by the Coast Guard, beyond monitoring the incident, will be taken. Otherwise, a Coast Guard Auxiliary facility, if available, or a Coast Guard resource
may be used.

Q

What are the 3 Principles that Guide Assistance to Vessels NOT IN DISTRESS?

A

(a) The first responder on scene with the vessel requesting assistance normally will provide
assistance
(b) If a Coast Guard resource or Auxiliary facility takes a disabled vessel in tow, the tow will
normally terminate at the nearest safe haven
(c) Once undertaken, there is no requirement to break the tow except as described below in “Relief of Tow”.

Q

Coast Guard’s Role in NON-DISTRESS

A

Coast Guard resources normally do not provide
immediate assistance in non-distress cases if alternative assistance is available. A Coast
Guard resource may assist in a non-distress situation when no higher priority missions exist
and no other capable resource is reasonably available.

A

(1) Nature of the situation;
(2) Position or lack of known location;
(3) Type, size, reported condition of vessel, food, water, emergency signaling devices, and
survival/life saving equipment onboard;
(4) Visibility, including daylight or darkness conditions;
(5) Tide and current conditions, and the ability of the vessel to anchor;
(6) Present and forecasted weather including wind and sea conditions, air and sea temperature;
(7) Special considerations such as number of personnel onboard, age, health, and special medical problems;
(8) Ability of the vessel to maintain reliable communications with a source of assistance.
(9) Degree of concern of the mariner for the safety of the occupants of the vessel
(10) The potential for the situation to deteriorate after evaluating the relevant factors.

Q

Can Coast Guard Intervene, if required?

A

Yes. If a Coast Guard resource finds another responder on scene whose assistance is not adequate, the Coast Guard resource should immediately attempt to
stabilize the emergency. Once the situation is stabilized, the Coast Guard resource may be
withdrawn if the first responder appears capable.

Q

What happens if Commercial Assistance is Declined by the Vessel Operator, what should you do?

remains classified below the DISTRESS phase. Nevertheless, the mariner may be assisted
in finding alternatives. i.e. MARB or Good Sam

Q

A

Yes, iaw with MLEM/COMDTINST. Although the Coast Guard does have the authority to compel a mariner to abandon their vessel in a life threatening situation, it is always preferable that a mariner voluntarily evacuate when necessary.

Q

What is CG “General Salvage Policy” (other than tow)

A

When commercial salvors are on scene performing salvage, Coast Guard units may assist them
within the unit’s capabilities, if the salvor requests. When no commercial salvage facilities are
on scene, Coast Guard units should only engage in salvage other than towing when limited
salvage operations (e.g., ungrounding, pumping, damage control measures, etc.) can prevent a
worsening situation or complete loss of the vessel.

  • Any Transfer Gear/Personnel Vertical
  • Surface Swimmer
120
Q

When are helmets required to be worn

A

-Speeds 30KTS or Greater
-Sustained Heavy Weather
-Any Transfer Gear/Personnel Vertical
-Surface Swimmer
(AFLOAT-Small boat notching)

121

-Speeds 30KTS or Greater
-Sustained Heavy Weather
-Any Transfer Gear/Personnel Vertical
-Surface Swimmer
-Helo Ops
-NCV/Tactics
(AFLOAT-Small boat notching)

122
Q

When are seatbelts required to worn

A
  • Speed 30 KTS or Greater
  • Sustained Heavy weather
  • NCV/Tactics
123
Q

  • Speed 30 KTS or Greater
  • Sustained Heavy weather
  • NCV/Tactics
  • Crew discretion
124
Q

What conditions of SAR cases are there?

A

Three. (Open, Closed, ACTSUS ‘active suspend’)

125
Q

Safe Speed percentage?

A

10% overall RPM

126
Q

10% overall RPM

127
Q

Towing Safe Speed Formula

A

3.14 x square of length of hull at the waterline.

128
