Problem 1 ……………………………………………………………………………………………

Heavy weather is generally defined as extreme wind conditions in combination with heavy
seas. The forming of ice on deck is also referred to as heavy weather although here the
relevant factor is the subzero temperature rather than the wind conditions.

Facts and Findings

In our experience most heavy weather claims relates to:

 loss of anchors,
 structural damage to forecastle and bow structure,
 physical damage to vents and railings,
 shifting and damage of cargo,
 ingress of water,
 stability problems.

Preventive measures

 Use weather routing to avoid, as far as possible, bad weather.
 Receive weather forecasts at minimum twice a day, preferably from at least two

separate sources.
 In bad weather, adjust course and speed to ease the ship's motion.
 Always secure anchors properly (lashings, chain stoppers).
 Ensure that the hatch covers and seals are in a good and watertight condition.
 Stow, lash and separate goods according to ships cargo securing manual.
 Secure spare parts to ensure safety during adverse weather conditions

Coastal Nav A1MATE 2021 09 /Capt.MH Page 5 of 126

Problem 2 ……………………………………………………………………………………………

Weakness in bridge organisation is the main reason for grounding. Safe navigation requires
effective command, control, communication and management. Insufficient voyage planning,
overconfidence in pilot and communication problems with pilot can lead to dear occurrences.

Loss of power and/or steering is naturally also a cause of grounding and is covered in the
machinery section.

Facts & Findings

In our experience, most groundings occur due to:

 heavy weather conditions, such as strong tides, currents, winds and heavy rains,

 dragging of anchor,

 evasive actions to avoid collision,

 Navigational errors (not plotting position correctly and/or frequently enough).

Preventive measures

 The crew must understand the importance of adherence to the bridge management
procedures.

 Passage planning should be made with detailed plans marking dangers and safe-
water limits especially in coastal waters, pilotage areas and port approaches. Review
weather, current and tide conditions.

 Position must always be verified through proper use of charts, radars and other
position fixing devices as well as cross checking navigational information using
available means. If possible bearings should be taken.

 Always keep updated official charts for area of voyage.
 Whilst at anchor, keep a 24h bridge watch and monitor the position of the vessel to

detect dragging. Second anchor should be prepared and lowered to sea level for
immediate use in case of emergency.
 The master is in command of the ship at all times and may delegate the conduct of
the ship to a pilot if he finds him experienced and competent. The master should not
hesitate to supervise, question or overrule the pilot's decision if any indications of
problems arise.
 Master and pilot should agree on a pilotage passage plan and language to be used
between ship, pilot and shore.
 The pilot should be presented a completed pilot-card. The vessels manoeuvring
characteristics should also be communicated.
 Participation at the Maritime Resource Management (MRM) Course is recommended
in order to foster positive attitudes, favouring good personal communication,
excellence in leadership skills and compliance with operating procedures.

Coastal Nav A1MATE 2021 09 /Capt.MH Page 6 of 126

Problem 3 ……………………………………………………………………………………………

Most collisions occur as a result of an inadequate lookout or unsatisfactory radar watch. The
main cause in several of these events is fatigue. The handing over of watch is also a risk
factor. Close quarter situations often occur due to late, unsatisfactory or improper alterations
of course and speed.

Facts and Findings

 Most collisions occur whilst ship is full away on passage and in fair weather and in
calm or slight seas.

 Many instances occur where VHF contact was made, but where information was
exchanged with incorrect vessel.

 Overtaking in narrow passages and not following rules of separation zones have an
high occurrence rate.

Preventive measures

 The crew must understand the importance of adherence to the bridge management
procedures.

 A proper lookout must be maintained at all times, along with efficient reporting to
watch keeping officer.

 The lookout should not be occupied with activities that may impede the lookout.
 Proceed at safe speed and take into consideration visibility, traffic density,

manoeuvrability, weather conditions and limitations of the radar.
 Every effort must be made to ascertain if a close quarters situation is developing –

determine by repeated systematic observations any change in radar and compass
bearings in addition to any automatic or manual radar plotting.
 Refrain from using VHF to establish passing with another ship, as an agreement
could be made with wrong vessel.
 If obliged to give way, take early and substantial action to keep well clear.
 Slowing down is often the best way to avoid a close quarters situation.
 When officers hand over watch, the relieving officer must be briefed on course,
speed, traffic, weather and dangers to navigation that could be expected.
 Follow STCW code requirements on rest periods in order to minimise risk of fatigue.
 Master and pilot should agree which language to be used between ship, pilot, tugs
and shore.
 Maritime Resource Management training course is recommended to foster positive
attitudes favouring good personal communication, excellence in leadership skills and
compliance with operating procedures.

Problem 4 ……………………………………………………………………………………………

The consequences of a main engine damage may be severe. Main engine breakdowns are
a potential threat to people, the ship, its equipment and cargo as well as the environment.

Facts and findings

 Medium speed engines are over-represented in claims statistics.

 New engines also suffer failures due to teething problems.

 One third of all engine claims are caused by damage to turbocharger.

Preventive measures

 Maintain the engine room crew intact as much as possible. A crew well-trained and
familiar with the engine is a key factor in respect of safety.

 Implement a planned maintenance system and ensure that this is continuously kept
up-to-date.

 Use only spare parts from reliable suppliers.

 Ensure that filters and purifiers for lubricating oil are in sound condition. Take
samples of the lubricating oil. The quality of the oil should be carefully monitored and
tested enabling change of oil before damage occurs.

 The above is valid also for fuel oil. Ensure that the oil is in accordance with the
engine manufacturers' specifications.

 Monitor engine performance. Ensure that all alarm and shut-down systems are
functioning.

 Follow manufacturer's instructions and service letters. Contact the manufacturers
after change of address, change of ship management, etc. to ensure that they have
the correct mailing address.

 Secure spare parts to ensure safety during adverse weather conditions.

Coastal Nav A1MATE 2021 09 /Capt.MH Page 8 of 126

Problem 5 ……………………………………………………………………………………………

To start a fire a source of ignition, combustible material and air is needed. In most engine
room fires this translates to a non-insulated hot area, a leakage of oil and the air in the
engine room. In cargo spaces it can translate into a cigarette, cargo and abundant air. The
variations to start a fire are many, but with a fire preventive attitude and training in
accordance to procedures the risk is minimised.

Facts and Findings

 In 7 out of 10 cases fires occur when the vessel is on passage at sea.
 Only in one tenth of the cases studied, the fire occured during shipyard or drydock

operations.
 Most fires start in the engine room and are, in 7 out of 10 cases, caused by fuel oil

leakage or short circuit of electrical equipment.
 One third of the fires originate from cargo spaces.
Preventive measures

Machinery spaces

 Keep a high general standard of cleanliness in the machinery spaces.
 Ascertain that there is no hazardous leakage of oil in the machinery spaces.
 All pipes and fittings should be routinely checked.
 All repairs that are carried out to oil pipes and fittings should be of a permanent

nature.
 All high-pressure fuel oil pipes should be properly shielded.
 Ensure that insulation/lagging covers all hot surfaces.
 Ensure that all readily combustible materials are stored away only in designated

areas.
 Regularly test that the quick-closing valves are functioning.
 The fire dampers must be functioning and regularly tested.
 Contactors and connections in electrical installations should be regularly checked. All

repairs of electric equipment to be performed or supervised by qualified personnel.
 Test that the engine room fire alarm is working properly and be sure that the crew is

well aware of the fire fighting and emergency procedures.

(Source: Engine Room Fire Prevention Checklist)
Cargo holds

 Smoking must never be permitted in areas where cargo is handled (hold, open
hatchways, container, container stuffing area etc.).

 When carrying cargo with tendency towards self-ignition monitoring of temperatures
should be performed and unnecessary ventilation should be avoided.

 Stowing, separation and lashing of dangerous goods must be done according to the
IMDG code.

 Securing of cargo on Ro-Ro decks must be arranged so that fire-fighting equipment
is unobstructed during loading, discharging and on sea passage.

Coastal Nav A1MATE 2021 09 /Capt.MH Page 9 of 126

Problem 6 ……………………………………………………………………………………………

Damage caused by vessel coming into direct contact with, for example, a dock, pier, jetty,
buoy or crane, or the damage caused by the vessel's wash. In many instances the loss of
use claim from the harbour is in excess of the repair cost for the actual contact damage.

Shore gantry cranes are built for horisontal loads and will easily be severely damaged by a
vertical impact. Cost of repairs to shore gantry cranes are very high.

Facts and Findings

Contact/FFO damages are, in our exprerience, mostly caused by:

 adverse weather conditions during berthing/unberthing,

 improper judgement by master or pilot,

 improper speed,

 insufficient tug assistance and/or machinery failure.

Preventive measures

 The crew must understand the importance of adherence to the bridge management
procedures.

 Assess the prevailing conditions, berth restrictions and any other limitations before
entering or leaving port.

 The master is in command of the ship at all times and may delegate the conduct of
the ship to a pilot if he finds him experienced and competent. The master should not
hesitate to supervise, question or overrule the pilot's decision if any indications of
problems arise.

 Master and pilot should agree on a berthing plan, tug assistance and language to be
used between ship, pilot, tugs and shore.

 The pilot should be presented a completed pilot-card. The vessels manoeuvring
characteristics should also be communicated.

 When entering or leaving berth special attention to shore gantry cranes must be
taken to ensure that they are not hit by for example vessels flare or mast.

 Damage to light buoys and other navigational aids must be reported immediately so
that other ships are not put in danger.

Coastal Nav A1MATE 2021 09 /Capt.MH Page 10 of 126

Problem 7 ……………………………………………………………………………………………

The majority of spills occure during operational procedures (loading/discharging tanker cargo
and bunkering) in ports or at terminals. These spills are however often small. Accidents such
as grounding, collision, hull failures and fire/explosions generally cause much larger spills.
Pollution may also occur in connection with pumping of of bilges, discharge of
garbage/sewage and ballast operations.

Facts and Findings

 85 % of all tanker spills involve quantities less than 7 tonnes.

 The majority of operational spills are small, with some 92% involving quantities of
less than 7 tonnes.

 Nearly two-thirds of major incidents are caused by either grounding or collision.

(Source: ITOPF)

 A common cause of pollution is ruptured oil pipes in ballast tank.

Preventive measures

 All personnel should be trained in the use of the oil-spill response equipment and
have regular drills in implementing emergency clean-up plans.

 There should be a system of record keeping of all cargo, bunkering, and tank
cleaning operations.

 Bunkering and loading/discharging operations require careful planning and vigilance
during the entire operation:
 agree on rate of loading cargo/bunkers,
 check ullages during bunkering/loading,
 fit scupper plugs,
 maintain a deck watch keeper.

 There should be procedures for safe transfer of oil onboard the vessel.
 Sounding-, vent- and overflow pipes passing through ballast tanks should be

inspected for wasting.
 Careful disposal of contaminated ballast water.
 Records of Garbage/sewage should be maintained. Instructions of disposal should

be implemented.
 The 15ppm bilge water separator and ODM sensors should be checked for

functionality at regular intervals. Under no circumstances should this equipment be
tampered with.
 Reduce loading rate well before topping up tanks.

Coastal Nav A1MATE 2021 09 /Capt.MH Page 11 of 126

Problem 8 ……………………………………………………………………………………………

The most common reasons for injury are slips/falls, struck by object and strains. Other
causes of personal injury are fires and explosions, injury by machinery or equipment and
entering enclosed spaces with hazardous atmosphere.

Facts and Findings

 Nearly all accidents occur while routine tasks are being performed.

 Failure to follow an accepted safe working practice is often the cause of an accident.

Preventive measures

 Decks and floors should always be kept clean, tidy and oil free. Clean up spill
immediately.

 Make sure that gangways, walkways and all other passages are free of obstructions.

 Appropriate personal protective equipment should always be worn according to task
performed.

 Steps/handrails must be well marked and in good condition. Openings in decks or
gratings should be clearly marked and effectively fenced off.

 Gangways and accommodation ladders must be properly rigged and well maintained.

 Sufficient lighting should be provided in dark areas/at night.

 Refrain from use of alcohol or drugs.

 Do not perform a two-man job by yourself.

 There should be procedures on entry to enclosed spaces. The crew must understand
the importance of adherence to these.

Coastal Nav A1MATE 2021 09 /Capt.MH Page 12 of 126

Problem 9 ……………………………………………………………………………………………

The problem of stowaways is not just financial issue. In some cases it is a threat to the ship's
crew, when stowaways get violent or outnumber the crew.

Facts and Findings

 The high-risk areas where the stowaways board the ships are currently Western
Europe, Northern and West Africa, and South America.

 USA and Canada are target destinations for many stowaways. The costs for
redelivery of stowaways to country of origin are also substantially higher from here.

 RoRo vessels are main targets for the stowaways followed by ferries and container
ships.

 Stowaways might be assisted by organised syndicates, dock workers, stevedores
and even, on some occasions, by vessels crew.

 Stowaways try to hide everywhere; in containers, on trailers, inside funnels and
ventilators and under bagged cargo to mention some places.

Preventive measures

 Keep updated on stowaway situation in area of port of call. IMO produces quarterly
reports on stowaway cases.

 Do not trust that the port can fulfil its responsibility for adequate safety.

 Lock or seal all doors, hatches and means of access to holds or stores, which are not
used during the ships stay in port.

 Keep access points to a minimum and keep a full time watch at each one.

 Arrange a pass system and tally all visitors.

 Use random security patrols to look out for people in unusual areas and to check
locks and seals.

 Illuminate deck, access points and along the hull.

 Open and inspect open top containers, containers with tampered or no seals and
containers arriving late at terminal.

 Perform a systematic and thorough search of the ship prior to sailing. Make entry of
this in log book.

Coastal Nav A1MATE 2021 09 /Capt.MH Page 13 of 126

Problem 10 ……………………………………………………………………………………………

The number of piracy attacks and armed robbery is increasing. These attacks are becoming
more violent and heavier armed which impose a great threat to ship safety. Traumas,
injuries, kidnappings and murders are the main hazards for crew.

Facts and Findings

 The main targets for pirates/robbers are the ships safe, crews personal effects and
nautical equipment. In some cases the ship is seized or diverted and the cargo is
discharged.

 Attacks occur in South East Asia, Far East, East coast of South America and Africa.

 Most attacks occur at night. They occur as much at sea as in port/at anchor.

Preventive measures

 Keep updated on the piracy situation of the area of trading.

 In piracy infested areas, be vigilant and maintain a 24-hour watch.

 Ship security plan should be established, stating crew responses, radio procedures
and reporting procedures.

 Set up an emergency area – possibly with separate communications – into which the
crew could retreat if attackers board the ship.

 Appoint a security officer and make sure that the crew knows about the plan.

 Provide strongest possible lighting, over side, bow and stern area. Be careful not to
interfere with safe navigation rules at steam. Use search light to probe for suspect
crafts using guidance of radar.

 Seal off means of access to ship. Access doors, holds and storages should be locked
when not in use.

 Keep water hoses ready for use and fire main pressurised.

 Delay anchoring by slow steaming or longer routing.

Coastal Nav A1MATE 2021 09 /Capt.MH Page 14 of 126

Bridge resource management (BRM)

• The bridge team must understand their individual and collective responsibilities and
they must be able to communicate clearly and effectively their observations on the
ship’s progress and contribute to any decision made by the team.

• Voyage planning must be from berth to berth. A full appraisal of the traffic density,
navigational hazards and statutory requirements should be conducted for the
route, together with a risk assessment and contingency plan for any unexpected
incidents.

Comprehensive pre-arrival and pre-departure briefings should be conducted to raise the
level of attention in the team and refresh their short term memories for instant recall and
action.

•When a ship requires inbound pilotage it is essential, particularly with respect to any
berthing manoeuvres, that the Pilot is on board early enough to conduct a proper and
thorough Master/Pilot exchange. Bridge teams need to be aware that Pilots in certain ports
tend to want to embark much later and much closer to the intended port than the declared
boarding position on the nautical chart.

•When a pilot is on board, the bridge team must ensure that the pilot’s knowledge and
experience of local conditions is clearly communicated to them and integrated into the bridge
team’s information flow and passage plan.

• Standard procedures should be adopted to ensure that everyone executes orders in the
same agreed way and that there is consistency in approach.

• The bridge team must monitor the voyage and remain alert to everything happening
around them (situational awareness).This should include a comparison of what is actually
happening to what should be happening at any given time or position enroute.

• Assertive error spotting by the team should be encouraged to combat complacency or
distraction.

• Fatigue in crew should be monitored. The bridge team should have adequate rest
periods to avoid any potential failure in planning, communication and situational
awareness which is the result of short and long term tiredness.

• Teamwork is essential to ensure the bridge team is working together towards the
common goal of a safe and successful voyage

Riskwatch

Coastal Nav A1MATE 2021 09 /Capt.MH Page 15 of 126

A Member’s ship recently approached Fukuyama during daylight and,being a
regular caller at the port, a pilot was not employed. The Master held a pilotage
exemption certificate.The Master’s intention was to berth starboard side alongside and as
the ship moved towards the quay a forward line was sent ashore and secured.

The line of the berth runs 210/030 degrees and with a northerly wind gusting at over 40
knots the ship’s stern was being blown away from the berth. The aft mooring gang could not
heave their heaving lines ashore.

As no tugs were in attendance (as they had not been ordered) and the ship was not fitted
with any bow or stern thrusters, the Master was unable to exert any effective control.

Difficulty was experienced in attempting to let go the single mooring line forward and the ship
remained attached, the bow acting as a pivotal point. Consequently the stern quickly spun
through almost 180 degrees. Whilst spinning uncontrollably the stern made contact with a
buoy and several vertical silt protector screens positioned in close proximity to the berth due
to an on-going land reclamation operation.

Two of the screens became fouled on the ship’s propeller and as a result they were
heavily damaged together with associated apparatus including floats, sinkers and
anchor chains. Fortunately no contact was made with the quayside gantry crane during the
incident.

The incident can be attributable to the Master's failure to understand properly
the limitations of his own ship’s capabilities and manoeuvring characteristics in such
weather. Berth-to-berth risks were not properly identified in the passage plan
and the appropriate safeguards were not implemented. Effective execution and
monitoring of the passage plan requires that it should be continually assessed and
updated accordingly for the purpose of ensuring that proper consideration is
given to changing circumstances including the weather.

Although the ship was a regular caller at the port and had berthed without incident
on previous occasions it is important that officers and crew, and particularly bridge
watch keeping officers, do not become complacent in relatively familiar
surroundings. The appropriate state of alertness was not maintained during pilotage
and berthing/un-berthing operations.

It is considered good practice for pre-arrival briefings involving the bridge, engine room and
deck crew to be undertaken both before the end of the sea passage and prior to sailing from
a port or anchorage. Such meetings ordinarily prove to be invaluable in ensuring that various
issues surrounding the pilotage period and the berthing/unberthing are fully discussed and it
is an ideal opportunity for possible concerns to be raised and addressed. Any formal
requirement for such meetings should be incorporated within the ship’s own Safety
Management System (as required by the ISM Code) and Members should routinely check
their ship’s records for compliance.

Coastal Nav A1MATE 2021 09 /Capt.MH Page 16 of 126

Ultimately, the decision not to employ tugs could be described as poor seamanship on the
part of the Master. Good bridge management would have resulted in the
Master receiving input from others (if only via the passage plan) which would perhaps have
raised awareness of the increased wind and provided the opportunity for the Master to
consider employing a pilot and/or tugs.

At 3.55 am, the first officer arrived on the bridge to take the watch over from the
2nd.officer and went to the starboard radar display as usual.
At 3.56 am (10.56 am at the UTC radar display clock), he saw a plotted radar echo at
11.05 miles (target TT1013). The 2nd officer told him it was presumably a cloud.
Then the 1st Officer sat on a stool in the starboard fore corner of the bridge to smoke
a cigarette and to drink a first coffee. Radar and ECDIS starboard displays were out
of his field of view.

Oliva 16 March 2011
……. Just after 0400, the second mate noticed a large defined echo on the
radar screen, about five nautical miles and passing clear down on the vessel’s port
bow. The second mate assumed that it was either rain clouds or an iceberg; he
thought that the vessel was within the limits of icebergs according to the routing chart
he has seen. At 0410, the second mate made another call to the chief mate as he
had not arrived on the bridge. The chief mate arrived on the bridge at 0420.

functions contain within it.
It is a system designed to assist OOW to make informed decisions and is not a
substitute for good seamanship.
www.britanniapandi.com Britannia Risk Watch volume 16 July 2009

ECDIS is merely an aid to navigation and should never be used as a substitute for
good seamanship.

navigation chart (ENC) and with appropriate back-up?

What are the characteristics of ENC?

What happened on CFL performer? The safety contour alarm was set at 30 m but
the alarm did not sound because …………

Watch vector is an important feature within ECDIS and if it has not been activated

CSL Thames aground on 6 August 2011 while navigating with ECDIS.
…… ran aground after the third officer had altered the vessel’s course to
starboard of the planned track to avoid another vessel. He did not notice that
the alteration would take CSL Thames into shallow water, and the audio alarm
on the electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS) that should
have alerted him to the impending danger was inoperative. Further, the
master’s and other watchkeepers’ knowledge of the vessel’s ECDIS was
insufficient and therefore no-one within the bridge team questioned the absence
of the ECDIS audio alarm, or recognized that the system’s safety contour setting
was inappropriate for the planned voyage.

Fatal accident involving Ocean Jasper in Oct 2007.She left the scene without

Voyage Data Recorder
In addition to bridge audio, a voyage data recorder (VDR) is capable of recording
such items as time, vessel heading and speed, gyrocompass, alarms, very high
frequency (VHF)radiotelephone communications, radar, the echo-sounder, wind
speed and direction, and rudder/engine orders and responses.

When the TSB attempted to download the BBC Steinhoeft’s VDR data following the
occurrence, the VDR was found to have ceased functioning the day before the
occurrence on 30 March 2011 at approximately 1600 Coordinated Universal Time
(UTC). Consequently, no data from the time of the occurrence were available to the
investigators when the remote storage module was analyzed at the TSB laboratory.

On 1 April 2011, a manufacturer representative checked the VDR and found that the
data process unit (DPU) fan was operational but that the filter was clogged.
Furthermore, the data management module (DMM) had shut down, its fan was not
operational, and the battery was completely discharged.

The VDR manufacturer’s installation and maintenance manual indicates that it is
essential that proper airflow be maintained within the DPU through the fan system.

To ensure this, the fan filter needs to be cleaned every 3 months. Crew members
were not able to provide a copy of this manual at the time of the attempted data
retrieval.

7. A product tanker Qian Chi exploded while at Brisbane anchorage in Jan 2011.
Request for helicopter assistance (for 3 crew members) was denied by VTS.

At this time, Brisbane and the surrounding area was receiving heavy rainfall and
consequent flooding.

Ship’s crew should remain vigilant to safety even when conducting repeated or
seemingly simple tasks. Personnel need to consult equipment documentation and
pay increased care and attention when undertaking unfamiliar tasks. To support that
process, equipment documentation needs to be comprehensive and accurate.

Ship’s crew should also understand the importance of providing immediate and
appropriate first aid to injured persons, especially burn victims. Burn injuries should
always be immediately cooled, under clean, cold running water, for at least
10 minutes.

After the explosion, electrician, engine cadet and third engineer went to the political
officer’s cabin to seek medical attention.

Guidelines For Voyage Planning

THE ASSEMBLY,

RECALLING Article 15(j) of the Convention on the International Maritime Organization
concerning the functions of the Assembly in relation to regulations and guidelines
concerning maritime safety and the prevention and control of marine pollution from ships,

RECALLING ALSO section A-VIII/2, Part 2 (Voyage planning) of the Seafarers' Training,
Certification and Watchkeeping Code,

RECALLING FURTHER the essential requirements contained in the International
Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers and
the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea concerning voyage planning,
including those relating to officers and crew, shipborne equipment, and safety
management systems,

RECOGNIZING the essential importance for safety of life at sea, safety of navigation and
protection of the marine environment of a well planned voyage, and therefore the need to
update the 1978 Guidance on voyage planning issued as SN/Circ.92,

NOTING the request of the Assembly in resolution A.790(19) that the Maritime Safety
Committee consider the issue of voyage planning in conjunction with its review of the
Code for the Safe Carriage of Irradiated Nuclear Fuel, Plutonium and High-Level
Radioactive Wastes in Flasks on Board Ships (INF Code), and the Committee's decision
that consideration of the issue of voyage planning should not be restricted to vessels
carrying materials subject to the INF Code but should apply to all ships engaged on
international voyages,

HAVING CONSIDERED the recommendation made by the Sub-Committee on Safety of
Navigation at its forty-fifth session:

1.) ADOPTS the Guidelines for voyage planning set out in the Annex to the present
resolution;

2.) INVITES Governments to bring the annexed Guidelines to the attention of masters of

Coastal Nav A1MATE 2021 09 /Capt.MH Page 36 of 126

vessels flying their countries' flag, shipowners, ship operators, shipping companies,
maritime pilots, training institutions and all other parties concerned, for information and
action as appropriate;

3.) REQUESTS the Maritime Safety Committee to keep the said Guidelines under review
and to amend them as appropriate.

ANNEX

Draft Guidelines For Voyage Planning

1.) Objectives

1.1) The development of a plan for voyage or passage, as well as the close and
continuous monitoring of the vessel's progress and position during the execution of such
a plan, are of essential importance for safety of life at sea, safety and efficiency of
navigation and protection of the marine environment.

1.2) The need for voyage and passage planning applies to all vessels. There are several
factors that may impede the safe navigation of all vessels and additional factors that may
impede the navigation of large vessels or vessels carrying hazardous cargoes. These
factors will need to be taken into account in the preparation of the plan and in the
subsequent monitoring of the execution of the plan.

1.3) Voyage and passage planning includes appraisal, i.e. gathering all information
relevant to the contemplated voyage or passage; detailed planning of the whole voyage
or passage from berth to berth, including those areas necessitating the presence of a
pilot; execution of the plan; and the monitoring of the progress of the vessel in the
implementation of the plan. These components of voyage/passage planning are analysed
below.

4.2.4) daytime versus night-time passing of danger points, and any effect this may have
on position fixing accuracy; and

4.2.5) traffic conditions, especially at navigational focal points.

4.3) It is important for the master to consider whether any particular circumstance, such
as the forecast of restricted visibility in an area where position fixing by visual means at a
critical point is an essential feature of the voyage or passage plan, introduces an
unacceptable hazard to the safe conduct of the passage; and thus whether that section of
the passage should be attempted under the conditions prevailing or likely to prevail. The
master should also consider at which specific points of the voyage or passage there may
be a need to utilize additional deck or engine room personnel.
