Explain the procedure for securing gear in the garage space prior to an ocean passage.
Empty fuel tanks
Secure equipment with extra lashings
Check all loose gear removed from equipment

State FOUR advantages of synthetic cordage.
Cheaper than natural fibre ropes.
Lighter to handle than equivalent natural fibre cordage.
Stronger than equivalent sized natural fibre ropes.
Relatively resistant to chemical attack by acids, alkalis and oils. (corrn. APM 08/09)
High durability.
Low water absorption.
Resistant to rot.
What are the 5 principles of risk assessment?
Step 1: Identify the hazards.
Step 2: Decide who might be harmed and how.
Step 3: Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions likelihood vs consequence
Step 4: Record your findings and implement them.
Step 5: Review your risk assessment and update if necessary.
Define the term PSSA.
A Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA) is an area that needs special protection because of its significance for recognized ecological or socio-economic or scientific reasons
- Great Barrier Reef
- Western European Water
- Baltic Sea
Define the term ECA.
An Emission Control Area (ECA) is a sea area in which stricter controls to minimize airborne emissions from ships are established.
Define the term Risk
Risk is the likelihood that a person can be harmed & injured
Define Hazard
Hazard in the source of potential Injury
Initial things when anchoring / mooring etc.
- toolbox talk
- complete checklist
- Rist assessment
- appropriate PPE
- establish communication with Bridge
- adequate lighting at night
- make sure area is clutter free
Pilot Boarding
- pilot ladder inspected and properly rigged
- area nice and clear
- properly illuminated
- lifebuoy with line and light
- line available for lifting luggage from pilot
- communicate each step with Bridge
