Activity 2 (finals)
Man Overboard
Our 2nd finals activity in seamanship 5 laboratory is all about rescuing a man
overboard. A Man overboard is an emergency situation onboard in which a fellow
seafarer has fallen from a ship trough the waters and is in need or rescue. On a man
overboard situation the ship must go back to his previous point in order to rescue the
man overboard. There are many kinds of turns that a ship can maneuver. But the only
urn that is recommended is the Williamson turn. The Williamson turn is a maneuver
used to bring a ship under power back to a point it previously passed through often for
the purpose of recovering a man overboard. This turn is good for any conditions of the
sea and for any visibilities. This man overboard situation must have a training every 3
months onboard. There are certain procedures in which the crew must perform while on
man overboard situations. The captain will command the following:
1. start another steering motor 2. steering put in manual
Then when the captain commands to inform vessel within vicinity, the man in
charge of the radio will transmit the following:
Securite, Securite, Securite
