Section 1: Foreword Introduction How to use this manual Updates

INTRODUCTION To comply with the Transport Operations (Marine Safety) Regulation 2001 (Draft) owners and or masters must keep and maintain operating documents aboard the following ships:

• registrable commercial ship over eight (8) metres in length, other than a ship operating in smooth waters that does not make voyages of more than 15 minutes duration.

• registrable fishing ship 10 metres and over operating beyond partially smooth waters

• registrable fishing ship that is not registered. The owner or master must ensure:

• the documents are aboard the ship in a secure place, available to the crew and the crew familiar with the contents

• the records are complete, accurate and up to date • the records are kept for at least 5 years from the date it was made and

are not defaced, erased or altered. These documents assist owners and masters in achieving their “general safety obligation”. This obligation encourages operators to achieve high levels of safety by demonstrating the ship is:

• safe and properly maintained • properly equipped, crewed and adequately prepared to handle

emergency situations • operated safely with appropriate workplace health and safety practices.

Failure to meet the general safety obligation may lead to penalties including on years imprisonment or a minimum fine of $37 500. HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

Operations manual This document suggests quality systems that may be employed on ships by outlining roles and responsibilities regarding ship operations. It outlines preparation, pre-departure checks, watch keeping, anchoring, mooring, towing and general machinery operating procedures. This section should be amended according to your needs and may require other sections to be added and deleted. It is the owner or master’s responsibility to update this section as required.

Technical manual

This document serves as a record book for your ship and should be updated as required. If an item is not appropriate it should be marked “N/A” (not applicable or deleted). If items are missing they can be added into the document.

Ship maintenance manual This manual is designed to assists with the planning and recording maintenance and survey. Proper maintenance and servicing is essential to keep a ship seaworthy and in good condition (as designated by the general safety obligation). The manual is divided into the following sections: Maintenance plan - This plan covers areas of a ship required are either maintained or monitored to ensure the ship is kept safe. Other areas or items may not be listed and will need to be added. Maintenance record - This section has the same categories as the maintenance plan plus a section to record service, maintenance and modifications. Survey checklist - This compliments the maintenance plan and record and must be only be completed by an accredited marine surveyor. Surveyors’ report - these record the condition of the ship according to the type of survey performed. Surveys must be carried out by an accredited marine surveyor.

Marine occupational health and safety manual This manual is designed to document procedures and instructions to be followed in the testing of items of equipment, carriage and stowage of hazardous substances, minimising the risk of hazards and marine incident reporting.

Safety management plans These outline the maintenance, use and skills required for safety equipment and emergency plans for crew and passengers. It is the master’s responsibility to develop the safety plan and make sure crew are trained and practised in safety procedures.

OPERATIONS MANUAL SHIP OPERATIONS Sailing and pre-departure checks The master is responsible for deciding if prevailing environmental conditions are safe for the voyage. Before the voyage the master must:

• ensure the ship is sufficiently supplied with stores, fuel, water and equipment for the voyage

• when proceeding to sea, outside port limits or for an extended period, full water tanks are recommended

• tell someone the ships destination and expected time of return. The master should ensure the ship has been subjected to a complete operational check of all machinery and radio equipment before first departure each day. Confirmation of this check must be noted in the ships logbook. (Operational Checks !, Radio Checks ! at top of each page in diary) Before departure the master should test the following, and other equipment if necessary, to ensure it is in good condition and operable:

• steering gear and engine controls • radio communications equipment • navigation, lights and sound signal equipment • engines and remote alarms • bilge pumps and remote alarms - bilge spaces must be as dry as

possible. The master should maintain a record of crew details, including name, address, phone number and next of kin, before the voyage. (see: Section 9. Crew Records and Training) Watch keeping routines at sea The master must ensure a navigation watch is maintained by competent and sufficiently rested crew at all times while the ship is at sea. The crew should know to call the master at any time if in doubt. Prior to taking over a watch, watch keepers must be aware of the following:

• the ships position, speed and course • the position and numbers of hazards close to the ships intended

course and ensure suitable clearances have been given

• be fully aware of any special conditions affecting the ships progress or operations, including the use of aids to navigation

• Be fully aware of any mechanical defects, which may affect the performance of the ship.

• Be aware and monitoring appropriate frequencies on the marine radios.

Note: Trawlers operators – keeping a navigation watch from the sorting tray is not considered acceptable watch keeping practice. * The IMO’s, Seafarer’s Training, Certification and Watchkeeping Code (STCW 95 Code) should be considered when preparing watch-keeping procedures. Ship at anchor The master is responsible for maintaining a proper lookout at all times while at anchor. The watch keeper must:

• determine the ships position in relation to other ships and hazards • ensure the ship maintains that position • take all necessary action to ensure the safety of the ship. • Ensure day shapes are displayed and at night, an anchor lights

luminated. • Monitor alarms on sounder, GPS and Radar if fitted. • Consider fitting and satisfactory radar reflector to enhance the ships

radar echo signal. Mooring The master is responsible for mooring the ship correctly and securing it against unauthorised entry when leaving the ship unattended. Before leaving the ship the master must ensure:

• the ship is secured to prevent any movement which could cause damage to the ship, it’s berth, or any other ship or property

• the ship is moored in the traditions of good seamanship • all machinery and associated systems are isolated and/or secure to

prevent pollution. Carriage of loads and load limitations The master must ensure the load carried by the ship is stowed properly and is within the safe capacity of the ship. Before loading, masters must be aware of the following:

• Permitted loading conditions according to stability book and designers certification

• stowage position of the load considering the ships stability and the recommended method of securing the load.

• IMDG code. (International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code.)

Operation of the ships tenders and dories Tenders and dories must not be launched and retrieved without the master’s permission. The master must consider and is responsible for the following:

• the person charged with the operation of the tender or dory has an appropriate licence (for fishing ships a valid recreational marine licence is acceptable)

• the required safety equipment is provided and stowed correctly (especially drinking water).

• a radio and EPIRB are required if operating out of the sight of the mother ship

• prevailing weather conditions at the time of launching and the forecast weather conditions at the estimated time of tender retrieval

• the loads carried including kill pens and live tank wells, and the effect it will have on the trim and stability of the tender, in particular live fishing dories

• the operator is advised and aware of the mother ships movements • the operator is competent in emergency procedures.

Laying and retrieving fishing apparatus The master must consider the following before commencing laying and retrieving fishing apparatus:

• the crew involved are fully aware of the safe working practices • equipment is in good condition • to minimise the risk of injuring people and fouling deck gear,

propellers and stern gear, crew members must keep the helmsman fully informed of the position of the fishing apparatus in the water to assist with manoeuvring the ship

• Crew must have a system in place for these operations • Stability limitations must be considered

Towing The master must consider the following before towing another ship:

• Ships at sea are only obligated to attempt to save life. Property rescue should only be considered when, in the master’s opinion, there is no perceived risk to the crew and ship.

• The tow should be made fast to the towing ship forward of the rudders and propellers so the ship will retain steerage. If this is not practical, a bridle using a running block can be arranged to move the effective towing point forward and retain steerage control, although the tow is attached to the stern of the ship.

• Messenger lines or a dinghy can be used to carry the towline to the tow if it is difficult or dangerous to come in close to the tow.

• A means of communicating between the two vessels shall be established.

• The master will make provision for the easy slipping of the tow in an emergency situation.

• Ensure the appropriate day shapes and lights are displayed. • Contacting Insurance Companies / Owners, should be considered.

MACHINERY General machinery and operating procedures The master / engineer or nominated person must visually inspect the machinery and check all fluid levels are correct before starting or operating any machinery. Operating instructions and procedures in manufacturers handbooks should be adhered to except in situations where a change in direction is necessary for safety. Refuelling The master / engineer or nominated person must oversee the fuelling of the ship:

• A fueling plan must be developed. • All precautions must be taken to prevent spillage of fuel into the sea • A record of all fuel taken on board must be kept in the ships logbook • Any fuel spilled on deck must be immediately cleaned away • Display BRAVO flag while fuelling (Red Flag) • All hoses and equipment should be inspected before use. • No naked flames or Smoking in or around fuelling area. • Given fuel expands and safety margin should be noted – do not overfill

tanks. • Save alls (buckets) should be placed under breathers to catch excess

fuel. • Fire fighting equipment at the ready. • Pollution equipment (absorbent material) at the ready.

Procedures in the event of fuel spillage In the event of a spillage of diesel fuel or other pollutants into the sea:

• stop the flow of fuel or pollutant into the sea • inform crew and ships in the immediate vicinity that a spill has

occurred and a fire hazard may exist • inform the Harbour Master and or Port Authority • minimise the effect and spread of the spillage • Record all spillages and the action taken in the ships log book.

Dispersants must not be used without the permission of Authorities. Note: A “Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan”, is required to be carried on board the following ships:

(a) - More than 24m in length overall if the ship is carrying;

(i) Oil as cargo; or (ii) A vehicle that is carrying more than 400L of oil as cargo;

or

(b) – Otherwise, more than 35m in length overall.

Pumping of bilges All bilge spaces should be inspected and maintained on a daily basis where practical. If fuel or oil, does enter the bilges, it must be either:

• absorbed by suitable sorbents • pumped ashore • pumped into containers for disposal ashore.

Engine room checks The engineer or nominated person must inspect at regular intervals:

• machinery spaces while in operation • spaces capable of flooding.

OPERATING WORK INSTRUCTIONS

To meet the general safety obligations of the Transport Operations (Marine Safety) Act, the owner and master must have clear working instructions are available to crew to ensure the safe operation of the ships systems. It is the owner / master of the ship’s responsibility to document the following (although not limited to) operating procedures:

• Refuelling • Hydraulic • Seawater cooling • Fresh water-cooling • Steering / Emergency Steering • Cargo refrigeration • 240/415 vault electrics • Start up shut down main and auxiliary machinery • LPG • Dory operations • Trawl net hook ups and emergency procedures • Bilge operation • Fire main operation • Fixed fire detection and smothering • Batteries • Shore Power • Deck Machinery • Communication Equipment

• Master • Engineer • Coxswain / deckhand • Cook / deckhand

MARINE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY MANUAL The Transport Operations (Marine Safety) Act 1994, places a general safety obligation on the master and crew who must ensure the ship is operated safely at all times. A safe working environment must be achieved to maintain this safety level. Failure to comply with the general safety obligation may lead to penalties including one years imprisonment or a minimum fine of $37 500. Occupational health and safety must be assured by:

• identifying hazards • assessing risks which may result because of hazards • deciding on control measures to prevent or minimise risk levels • implementing control measures • monitor and reviewing the effectiveness of the control measures.

DECK / MACHINERY RECORD BOOKS Deck / machinery record books must be maintained and reflect in detail all ship operations including safety training evolutions. The machinery section of the record book must register fuel and water usage, the engine operating conditions and operating period and any maintenance defects and occurrences. All entries must be clear and concise. MARINE INCIDENT REPORTING A marine incident is an event causing or involving:

• the loss of a person from a ship • the death of, or grievous bodily harm to, a person caused by a ships

operations • the loss or presumed loss or abandonment of a ship • collision with a ship • stranding of a ship • material damage to a ship • material damage caused by a ships operations • danger to a person caused by a ships operations • danger or serious damage to a ship • danger of serious damage to a structure caused by ships operations.

The master is responsible for reporting marine incidents to a Shipping Inspector within 48 hours after the incident happens, unless there is a reasonable excuse. (see: Shipping Inspector’s contact list at the back of this

manual) A written report must be made in the approved form, which is available from Queensland Transport Customer Service Centres and Marine Operations Bases, Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol and Water Police. The form may be completed with the assistance of a Shipping Inspector to ensure the information is as accurate, unbiased and reliable as possible. The form must be completed in full. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE SHIP’S CREWS Master The master of commercial ship:

• must be appointed by the ship owner or the owners representative • is responsible for roster arrangements (if applicable) at the

commencement of each shift or roster period • must hold an appropriate and valid certificate of competency or

equivalent qualification • is responsible for the safe operation of the ship and all personnel on

board • must ensure the ships crew and passengers are aware of planned

emergency procedures • must maintain a complete record of the ship’s operation which must be

held for a period of at least five years • is responsible for ongoing ship maintenance to an acceptable level of

seaworthiness • must record all maintenance defects and defect rectifications • must hold appropriate engineering qualification if an engineer is not

carried on board. Engineer The engineer on a commercial ship:

• must hold an appropriate and valid certificate of competency or equivalent qualification authorising the holder to take charge of and operate the ships machinery

• must keep the master fully informed about the condition of the ships machinery, it’s effect on the ships operations and where defective machinery could affect the safety or operation of the ship

• must oversee the operation of all machinery onboard the ship • may be responsible for ensuing maintenance defects and defect

ramifications are fully recorded.

Coxswain / deckhand The coxswain / deckhand on a commercial ship:

• Must work under the direction of the master • May assist the master with navigation and conning • may be required for watch keeping duties as authorised by the master.

Cook / deckhand The cook / deckhand on a commercial ship:

SAFETY MANAGEMENT PLANS All commercial operators must have safety management plans and procedures onboard as designated in Part E of the National Standard for Commercial Vessels (NSCV). This plan must outline the maintenance, use and skills required for safety equipment and emergency plans for crew and passengers. It is the master’s responsibility to develop the safety plan and make sure crew are trained and practised in safety procedures. The safety management plan must be consistent with good seamanship practices. To be effective they should take into consideration the type of boat, what it is used for and crew skills and training. The plan will list the steps to be taken by the master and the crew in emergency situations. Regular drills will identify faults in the plan, which can then be altered for maximum efficiency. This minimises risk and will most certainly act as a line of defence in an investigation. Following is an outline of what safety management plans should include: General Safety Equipment All boats must have appropriate life saving and fire fighting equipment as specified by regulation. This must be inspected regularly and be available for immediate use. Masters must ensure all crew are trained and practiced in the event of an emergency. Emergency Plans Emergency muster stations for crew and passengers All crew must be allocated a task in an emergency. Crew may be either allocated a muster station, location of survival equipment or may be required to muster in a safe area away from the action scene until the situation is stabilised. At the prescribed signal crew must report to their stations and carry out their tasks. The prescribed signal for emergency stations is seven short blasts followed by one continuous blast of the ship's horn, or signal instructions delivered by the master. In small ships with two man crews the prescribed procedures may be impractical. Alternative arrangements must be noted and crew must be aware of the procedures. Practice of emergency muster stations and drills Drills shall be conducted as frequently as necessary to ensure that all crew are competent at their duties. Once the master is satisfied as to the competence of the crew, the master shall ensure that further dills are carried out for all crew at periods not exceeding two months.

This must be used as a method of crew training and emergency equipment inspection. At the sounding of the muster signal, all doors and hatches should be closed, all machinery space vents and fans should be closed off or stopped and the fire pump started or made ready to pressurise the fire main. An emergency scenario should then be announced and appropriate actions according to the emergency plan simulated. A log, indicating persons present and date of each activity undertaken, must be kept by the master. Man overboard If a crewmember or passenger falls overboard the following procedure must be adopted. This procedure should be used as a guide only and should be altered according to circumstances at the time. If a person is seen falling overboard, the witness shall give the alarm by shouting as loud as possible "MAN OVERBOARD, MAN OVERBOARD". The witness must continue shouting the alarm until a response is received. The witness, while making the alarm, must stay where they are and keep sight of the person in the water. It is strongly recommended they point to the person in the water to help keep their position. The first person on the scene should throw a life ring or buoyancy apparatus and a position-marking device to the person in the water. The witness may be able to do this but it is their first priority to keep sight of the person in the water. Priority of actions:

1. Keep the person in the water under continuous observation. 2. Provide a flotation device to the person in the water. 3. Provide a positioning aid (dan buoy, dye market, light float etc). 4. Note the ship's head and speed so that a planned recovery

operation can be set in place if the person in the water escapes from view.

5. Wait for orders from the master who will initiate recovery actions. The master must carry out Man Overboard Drills at least once every two weeks and at the time of a crew change to ensure that all crew are familiar with correct procedures. Fire fighting The master must ensure all crew know how to use the fire fighting equipment onboard. If a fire is discovered, the following actions should be taken in order:

1. Sound the alarm! Shout "Fire Fire Fire, Fire in the _________ " until a response is received.

2. At the same time as giving the alarm (shouting Fire Fire) assess the situation. A portable fire extinguisher can be used to control a large fire for approximately one minute, this should be enough time for other crew to come to your aid. Every effort must be made to control the fire at the time of discovery, do not wait for assistance to arrive.

3. On hearing a fire alarm, crew should move to carry out their allotted tasks listed in the emergency plans. This should mean that fans are stopped, vents doors and hatches are closed, fire pumps are started, hoses laid out and all the gear required to fight a fire is made ready for use.

The first person on the scene is the person who has given the alarm and will also initially be the person who has the most information about the discovered fire. This person must take charge of the situation until relieved by the master or the fire is out. The master must carry out fire fighting drills during muster drills to ensure that all crew are familiar with the stowage and operation of all fire fighting equipment. Fire scenarios should be developed and reactions planned and practised. Drills provide a good opportunity to check the location and type of fire fighting equipment on board, ensure the equipment is in good condition and that personnel know how to use it. Flood situations The master must ensure crew are familiar with the sequence of events to deal with a flood. Flood situations will vary greatly in severity dependent upon the size of the breach and the time elapsed since the breach occurred. It is important to assess the situation before activating emergency procedures. For example, a small leak may be misunderstood as an extremely dangerous situation when in reality the situation can easily be fixed without a full-scale emergency response. If a flood is discovered in a compartment, the following sequence of events should be initiated:

1. Assess the situation! If the breach is dangerous, sound the alarm! Shout "Flood, Flood" etc and the position of the flood.

2. At the same time as giving the alarm, an assessment of the situation must be made to determine the best action to be taken.

3. The response action should address in sequence the following: 4. Isolate the area of the flood to the local space. Shut all bulkhead

watertight doors and hatches etc. Control the incoming water. Commence pumping out the water. Repair the water leakage into the compartment. This must involve the discovery of the source of the incoming water, which may not be immediately evident until the water level in the space has been sufficiently lowed.

The master must carry out Flood Situation Drills to ensure that all crew are familiar with the stowage and operation of all pumping and space isolating systems. Flood scenarios should be developed and reactions planned and practised. During these drills the alarms should be given with the addition of the prefix "for exercise, for exercise". All watertight doors and hatches must be closed and in some cases the bilge pumps operated to ensure they are clear and working. This is a good opportunity to ensure the bilge pumping systems and alarms are working and in good condition and that crew know how to use it. Abandoning Ship The master is the only person who can authorise to abandon ship. Abandoning ship is a last resort and should never be taken without firstly evaluating all available options and making appropriate preparations. Preparations should be made early when it has become clear that abandoning ship is an option in the prevailing circumstances. Preparations include:

1. The life raft can be launched and made fast alongside or trailed astern. 2. Crew can be instructed to put on warm clothing, don life jackets and

prepare to take to the life raft. Persons not involved with fighting to save the vessel should assist those who are by retrieving extra warm clothing and lifejackets for them.

If the master decides to abandon ship, the following should occur in sequence::

1. The order to abandon ship will be given. The signal for abandon ship is one short blast followed by one long blast on the ship's horn, repeated three times, or a signal or instructions issued by the master if the ship does not have appropriate sound signalling devices.

2. On hearing the signal or receiving the order to abandon ship all crew should report to the life raft stowage position and await further instruction.

3. At the life raft stowage position a check should be made to insure that all persons are present and no one has been left below decks uninformed of developments.

4. The master will then give the order to take to the life rafts. The master will already have made the relevant reports for rescue authorities to come to the aid of the vessel.

The master will carry out an Abandoning Ship Drill is carried out once every month and at the time of a crew change. This drill will ensure that crew know and understand the procedures for abandoning ship and survival techniques. On hearing the abandon ship signal all crew should proceed to the life raft stowage position. All crew should don lifejackets and check their neighbour’s jacket to see if worn correctly. Instructions should then be given on the launching of the raft, the equipment to be found inside the raft, operating the raft and survival at sea. The manual on survival, issued by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, should be used as the reference.

Safety management plan It is the owner / master of the ship’s responsibility to document the following Safety Management plans: (although not limited to)

• Collision • Grounding • Man overboard • Fire

o engine room o galley o generic o smoking alarms

• Flooding • Confined spaces • Emergency muster stations • Abandon ship – use of inflatable rafts and lifeboats • Cyclone / Severe Weather • Hook up trawl gear • Medical emergencies • Use of safety equipment • Missing / overdue dory • Emergency radio calls • Emergency steering • Machine engine failure • Ship management in heavy sea conditions and cyclone preparations.

Drills It is imperative that all crew know what to do in an emergency. The following drills are required on all commercial and fishing ships, by part E of the National Standard for Commercial Vessels (NSCV):

• Muster stations – change of crew or every two months • Man Overboard – change of crew or every two months • Fire Fighting – change of crew or every two months • Collision, Grounding

and Flood Situations – change of crew or every two months • Abandon Ship – change of crew or every two months • Cyclone / Severe weather – change of crew or every two months

Emergency response plans Following is an example of a quick reference Safety Management Plan that can be posted on bulkheads.

This Emergency Response Plan is to be enacted by the ships master. In the event that the master is incapacitated, crew number one would resume the master’s duties. This crew person may not necessarily have the required qualification required by the master.

Section 8: Passenger Verification Procedure The Master shall ensure a procedure has been developed to verify the passenger numbers on board the ship. A count of all persons on board shall be made and recorded when a ship is used to transport passengers. Confirmation of this check must be noted in the ships logbook / diary. (Passenger Numbers ", Crew Numbers " at top of each page in diary) Before the ship departs any berth mooring or anchorage, the Master shall ensure a crewmember (a) counts all persons on board; and (b) makes a written record of the count; and (c) verifies the count by signing the written record. If anyone leaves the ship permanently for alternative transport to shore or another ship, or if an additional person permanently joins the ship, the master shall ensure a crewmember – (a) counts each person as they leave the ship; and (b) counts each person as they board the ship; and (c) makes a written record of each of the counts; and (d) makes a written record of the number of persons currently on board; and (e) verifies the information recorded under paragraphs (c) and (d) by signing the

written record. The owner or master shall keep each record made under this procedure, for at least 1 year. (Two types of systems may be used to carry out the count:) Passive count systems, for example, a head count, and Active count systems, for example, roll calls, tagging or signing systems 1.0 Passive count The passive system requires little participation by the people being counted. They tend to be quicker and less obtrusive but are also more susceptible to error. If passive systems are used, the count should be done twice, and independently, by different crewmembers.

2.0 Active count systems, (Example, roll calls, tagging or signing systems The active count systems require the people being counted to actively participate in the counting process. These systems tend to be slower than passive systems but are less prone to error. The use of an active system is preferred, but for vessels carrying over 50 people, passive systems may be more appropriate. As with any other system it is more important the adopted process is clearly known to all workers and the responsibility for completing the count is clearly allocated to a person or persons on each day.
