Action plan
Instruction
Vessel to comply with company Under Keel Clearance requirements
as given in SMM 02.01.03. The CATZOC might cause a need for
deviating, but this must under no circumstances jeopardise the
safety of the vessel. Prior to navigating into such areas the Master
must communicate the recommended safe Under Keel Clearance to
the relevant vessel group for approval according to SMM 07.10.08
Management of Change procedure. Updated and recent Information
from Operations, Charterer, Agent, Port Authorities and Pilot to be
obtained. Past experience from transit/approach/arrival/departure at
the port to be obtained from the company; i.e. ECDIS track from
other vessels if available, experiences from other vessels etc.
Passage planning made with special consideration to surrounding
and shallow spots and monitoring of depths via echo sounder to be
prioritized during arrival, and the speed kept at minimum speed
allowing full control of the vessel. When vessel is alongside the
ECDIS passage plan/track must be updated to correspond with the
actual track and spot soundings to be included in the ECDIS using
the MAPS function for future reference. In case the vessel can
depart without waiving CATZOC it is recommended to depart using
a track in order to obtain more soundings which can be plotted in
the MAP for the ECDIS and saved for future calls.

Preventive measures/Personal protection
Information obtained from Operators, Charterer, Agent, Port
authorities and Pilot to be considered for all calculations. The
Master must discuss with the pilot the anticipated under-keel
clearance and the Master must obtain as much information as
possible from the pilot regarding the transit to the port or terminal.
The discussion must be prioritised and is meant for the master to
gain a proper understanding of the Pilot's recommendations and
concerns and must be completed prior proceeding. During the
approach the master must be vigilant and challenge the Pilot in his
commands and take over command if in doubt of the Pilots
intentions. Bridge Management Team must be level 4 before pilot
station, and level 5 from Pilot has boarded until alongside or in safe
waters. Continuous monitoring of echo sounder during transit.
Maintain lowest possible speed allowing safe steering and
manoeuvring of the vessel. Both anchors ready and crew standby
to let go.

1-6

Low risk

May be acceptable; however, review task to see if risk can be reduced further.

7 - 17

Medium risk

Task should only proceed with appropriate authorisation by shore management. Where possible, the task should be redefined to take account of the

hazards involved or the risk should be reduced further prior to task commencement. Approval from Head of Technical Department or 2 VGM or 1 VGM &

DPA

18 - 36

High risk

Task must not proceed. It should be redefined or further control measures put in place to reduce risk. The controls should be re-assessed for adequacy

prior to task commencement.
