An enclosed space includes tanks for cargo , ballast , fuel , fresh water , cofferdams etc . However , any enclosed space Will be considered as dangerous , if that space has been closed for an extended period without any .

Such spaces may be oxygen deficient or with toxic fumes from cargoes , fuel or even paint and chemicals .

These spaces should be clearly marked with appropriate stating that enclosed space entry procedures must be followed . No person must enter an enclosed space , unless a permit has been issued by a senior officer and all precautions have been taken . Safety equipment should be on in case of emergency .

The trouble began on Sunday evening when the 5 , 100 - teu containership Ariana to a halt in the southern section of the canal . lt is not clear whether the ship ran aground or was experiencing a problem with its engines .

The vessel was 20th in a southbound , of 27 ships . Three bulk carriers following behind were unable to stop and collided with each other .

Tugs were able to the Ariana , which was not involved in any collision , to Suez .
lt resumed its voyage down the Red Sea on Monday afternoon .

The other three ships are currently undergoing a surveyor's to determine the extent of the damage .

It is important to check all electrical motors , wiring and switches during the daily . Listen for abnormal sounds and look for variation in temperatures or any turns loose , In the accommodation area , multiple socket plugs should never be used .

Crew members should always be about any ongoing work to avoid the accidental starting up of machinery or equipment . It is also important to double electrical tools , such as portable drills , for any loose wires before attempting check any job .

Always wear the correct Personal Protective Equipment to avoid the risk of shock .

4

The boatswain , also known as the bosun , is the crewman of the deck . He is responsible for the ship's hull and all its components , including its rigging , anchors , cables , sails and deck maintenance .

The corrosive properties of salt water create a constant need for maintenance . The bosun maintenance of the deck and above - deck areas , performing daily inspections on the exposed and superstructure ship areas . He duties to deck sailors that range from cleaning and painting the deck .

In addition , the bosun is in of mooring operations and also acts as the watchman of the ship for the Captain or superior officers when required .

5

All accidents and incidents are and crewmembers , irrespective off their rank , have the right to 'stop the job' in progress if a risk is observed that could to injury , damage to equipment or the environment .

Seafarers can 'stop the job' safe in the knowledge that no retribution or can be imposed as long as this policy has been implemented in good faith .

A 'stop the job' situation should be reported immediately to the supervisor and ati safety meeting must be held to reassess and all issues before work can be resolve resumed .

Walking past a situation that you know is unsafe can endanger not only your fellow crew . but also your own life too .

6

In the past , it was normal , when in port , for a ship's crew to finish work by late afternoon and then go ashore . However , due to increased security , this freedom no longer exists .

In addition , with fast loading and discharging rates of the cargo at ports , it has become difficult for a seafarer to fly out and join a ship in a distant port . This is because by the time the visa is the ship is already loaded and ready to sail .

Seafarers are not finding enough time to carry out maintenance work , short port stay . Port authorities want ships to move out of port as soon as possible .

7

When entering confined spaces , the atmosphere may be dangerous to health or even fatal . It may be oxygen - deficient and may contain flammable or toxic .

A competent person should make an of the space , potential hazards should be identified and a responsible officer should be designated to take charge of the planned operation .

The atmosphere inside should be tested . The space be secured and prepared for entry , with rescue and resuscitation equipment positioned at the entrance .

A system of communication should be agreed and tested to ensure that any person entering the space can keep in with the person stationed at the entrance .

8

Anyone on board who discovers an emergency must first activate the nearest alarm switch . Without delay he must the Deck Off icer on duty as to the nature and location of the emergency and then proceed to his emergency station .

In the case of a minor fire , after the alarm has been , minor fire - fighting appliances should be used to tackle the fire . In case of a more fire , doors should be shut and the area secured , before evacuating .

All alarm signals are shown on the muster list . All crewmembers must be of the meanings of the various alarms signals in use on board .

9

Many accidents in the galley are caused by carelessness and lack of attention . Burns are a very common injury . However , if sensible are taken , they are largely avoidable .

Make sure gas is well vented before trying to light ovens or pilot lights . Strike matches away from yourself , before the gas .

Wear long sleeves and double - breasted to protect yourself from spilled or splattered hot foods or fat .

Dry foods before putting them in frying fat , or hot fat may splatter you .

Always people when you are walking behind them with hot pans or when you are walking behind someone who is working with hot items .

10

On board a vessel , there are complex posed by fuel , electricity and combustible materials . Electricity and water , for example , don't mix and a recent incident highlights the risks .

While the galley , a cook saw electrical wires resting on the deck . The ends of the wires had tape over them , so the cook assumed they weren't . He picked them up , so he could clean the deck beneath them and received an electric shock .

A contractor had left the wires when removing a piece of machinery . He had isolated the electricity but someone switched it back on when the ship was at sea .

Fortunately , the cook survived the experience

11

As much 40% of your body heat can be lost from your head and neck . A warm hat and a hood with ear is essential in preventing heat loss from this area .

Ultraviolet rays from ice or snow can damage your sight , so appropriate sunglasses should be worn .

The ability to perform manual work can be affected by cold . Mittens or gloves must be worn and should provide enought insulation to prevent frostbite , but care should be taken not to get them parts of machinery

12

Because of the nature of the job , seafarers visit many ports in different parts of the world . This means they are often to diseases such as Malaria , Cholera and Tuberculosis .

Although they are vaccinated and given thorough medical , they are still at risk from other diseases such as EBOLA in West African countries .

The best practice is to use measures to contain the spread of contagious diseases on board .

The master and crew should be informed about the diseases before docking . In addition , restricting the number of people embarking the vessel and restricting shore leave can prevent such illnesses from .

13

In a number of cultures , language is spoken rapidly . lt is normal for seafarers from these cultures to each other and even finish each other's sentences .

Similarly , a fast speaker can make assumptions that someone from a slower speaking culture is not interest or responding , or that they even lack intelligence . This can have a major impact on board ships when training crews .

Trainers or officers , who speak , do not always give slower speaking seafarers time to understand and process the message , or even give them the opportunity to speak and feedback . Therefore , it is essential to allow enough time for crew to answer , instead of just talking at them .

14

Most of the waste we produce on land eventually reaches the sea , through deliberate dumping or from run off through drains and rivers .

Oil spills cause harm to the marine environment - but are only responsible for about 12% of the oil running into the sea each year .

Solid garbage also finds its way to the sea . Plastic bags are often found airways of many marine species including whales , dolphins , seals and turtles .

Also , approximately 80% of urban discharged into the Mediterranean Sea is untreated or under treated . Tiny animals such as plankton absorb these chemicals before being eaten by fish

15

When an emergency takes place on board and a crewmember is in danger , rescuers often into the space without thinking . All too often the result of this action is their own .

Even the most experienced crew members can forget their training . A person under stress loses their to make decisions . They believe they Will be able to rescue the person single - handed .

Another factor is that vessels do not have teams specially instructed for enclosed space entry . Emergency parties are , for fire - fighting , abandon ship and man overboard emergencies only .

16

Enclosed space accidents mainly when the ship's crew enter a confined space , which is not properly gas free . Unfortunately , some seafarers still ? to follow correct enclosed space entry procedures and take a huge risk , which can so often result in death .

Hydrogen sulphide ( H2S ) has become known as the silent killer ; it is a hazard commonly found in oil tankers and cargo vessels . Its is similar to an eggy smell .

The danger , in an enclosed space , is when the H2S concentration exceeds 100ppm , as this can cause loss of smell . This means that crewmembers can be overcome and consciousness whilst being totally unaware of the situation .

17

Anchors are normally used when no tugs are available or in the of bow thrusters .

During all manoeuvring and harbour operations , one team is always assigned to anchor operations , in case engine or steering cause an emergency situation .

Dredging anchors is a popular used to manoeuvre large ships in constrained waterways . A large anchor is Iowered from the bow of the vessel because it just touches the bottom without getting anchored or set .

Extreme care must be taken not to ha produce ive force or pressure in the anchor winches and machinery or else it may to accidents

18

An LNG carrier is a ship that is , for the transport of liquified natural gas .

LNG carriers are built using a double - hulled construction , with four or five large tanks to hold the gas . These tanks are generally composed of several layers of material to prevent and keep the LNG at a cold temperature . These tanks are also insulated to minimise the amount of LNG that boils off or are also evaporates during transportation .

In addition , these ships are with advanced gas and fire detection and suppression systems to ensure that even a small Ieak would trigger a response . This makes a catastrophic fire on an LNC carrier extraordinarily unlikely .

19

Team meeting with crew , before a task is undertaken , can have extremely results ; they give a sense of involvement and also help to prevent accidents .
Similarly , each crewmember is better able to understand his or her role and feels more confident the task .

Debrief meetings , after the task has been completed , are as important .

Sometimes operations do not go as planned and there are near which could have resulted in accidents . The objective is not to find fault or shift the blame , but to find out what went wrong and why and carry out corrective measures to prevent mishaps from happening again in the future .

20

lt is important to plan before lifting . First adopt a stable position with the feet apart and one leg slightly forward to balance . At the start of the lift , slight bending of the back , llips and knees is preferable stooping or squatting .

Ideally , the load should be as close as possible to the body at waist level . twisting the back or leaning sideways , especially while the back is bent .
Keep your head up , shoulders level and facing in the same direction as the hips .

Turning by moving the feet better than twisting and lifting same time Don't Lift or handle more than can be easily managed . If In doubt , seek advice or get help

21

A clear fire - control plan should be in important areas throughout the

The Master should conduct sufficient fire drills , to make sure that every in case of a fire crewmember is familiar with their , in case of a fire .

Each fire drill include : mustering passengers to areas of safety at embarkation stations , summoning the crew to report to muster stations and demonstrate their assigned tasks , and instruction in the use and location of fire - fighting equipment on board .

The timing and location of the emergency drills should be changed in order to give practice to the crew in different conditions and to train them to different types of fire

22

Some seafarers never suffer from seasickness , but others really do suffer - especially during rough seas and weather .

Scientific studies show that some people become seasick just by thinking about motion sickness .

The worst thing about seasickness is not being able to stop it . To acclimatise to shipboard life , one is to spend as much time as possible out on deck , using the horizon as a point to maintain . Positioning oneself in the middle of the vessel , which is the natural equilibrium point , is another option .

Having a in the cabin helps to provide a consistent view of the horizon

23

Nearly all fires , which have happened on board ships , could have been .

Fire - fighting on board is difficult and dangerous owing to the confined areas in which the fire may be tackled and restricted means of escape . These difficulties and dangers can be reduced with regular fire drills . Good housekeeping in all areas of the ship is essential for fire . Smoking regulations must be strictly observed .

Private electrical equipment is only to be used if it has been tested . When such equipment is not in use , it must be switched ( _____ ) and disconnected from the power source .

24

Whenever the anchor needs to be dropped in the seabed , the available marine charts of the sea area are used to determine the nature and of the sea floor .

After the appropriate spot has been selected , the anchor is Iowered into the water at a steady pace . While letting go the anchor , it is important to well clear of the windlass .

Depending on weather conditions , a section of the anchor chain is kept in order to allow some movement of the ship .

Not all types of ocean floors are suitable for anchoring , so the crew might have to try a few times before they an appropriate spot .

25

Staff granted leave to go onshore should be aware that a to return to the ship on time , when it is at port , is Likely to result in a demotion or dismissal .

All crew and staff are required to be on board an hour before to departure . attention to the sailing schedule and keep an eye on time .

If you do , for some reason miss the ship , your cruise line's agents Will help you board the ship again at another location . However , there may be some expense to you .

26

The term 'security level' is used to quantify the risk of a potential security incident . There are 3 security levels :

Level 1 is considered as normal with minimum routine security measures in

Level 2 is where an increased risk of a security incident exists . In this case there are security measures taken .

Level 3 is the level and this is where a security incident or threat against a port , port facility , or ship is probable or imminent . Instructions Will normally be by those responding to the incident and , generally , normal operations Will stop .

27

Spillages leakages bunkering operations are a primary source of oil pollution from ships .

Experience has shown that many of the bunker overflows and spillages that do occur can be attributed to human .

All bunkering operations should be carefully planned and executed in accordance with MARPOL regulations . Pollution caused when heavy fuel oil is spilt is particularly damaging and difficult to up .

Personnel involved in the bunkering procedure on board should have no other tasks and should remain at their workstations during topping off . This is particularly important when bunkers are being loaded at the same time as ongoing cargo . Spillages often occur when staff are distracted by another task

28

An Electronic Chart Display a d Information System ( ECDIS ) is a computer - based navigation system that with IMO regulations and can be used as an alternative to paper navigation charts .

Integrating a variety of real - time information , it is an automated decision aid capable of continuously determining a vessel's position in relation to land , charted objects , navigation aids and unseen .

An ECDIS electronic navigational charts ( ENC ) and integrates position information from the Global Positioning System ( CPS ) and other navigational sensors such as radar , fathometer and automatic identification systems ( AIS ) . It may also display navigation - related information , such as sailing directions , tidal information , ice conditions and automatic vessel identification .

29

to research , most pirate attacks are unsuccessful . apparently larger ships as tankers , dry bulk cargo and containers are at greater at risk of an attack , but they are also lees likely to suffer a successful attack .

The risk of an attack is higher for a ship that is anchor or berth to drifting or steaming .

While at anchor . pirates are more likely to use the anchor , the mooring rope and the hawse pipe to grain access .

Access to the ship using ladders , hooks and ropes or even as government officials is more common when the ship is steaming or drifting .
