Personnel Injuries and Illnesses Immediate Action
a Upon receiving a report of injury or serious illness, inform the captain and call the casualty's location:
Members of the first aid team with appropriate equipment (first aid kit, stretcher, resuscitator, splints, etc.).
designated medical officer on board.
b Where there is no threat to his own life, the person initially at the scene to provide First Aid:
The airways remain clear.
Breathing and heartbeat are ensured (otherwise CPR is required).
Bleeding is controlled (the victim should not be moved unless absolutely necessary).
c In a situation where the life of the rescuer may be threatened (for example, a victim in a gas- or oxygen-deficient atmosphere in a confined space), the resources of the normal emergency response team on board must be called upon by means of safety equipment such as compressed air breathing apparatus, etc. .d.
d Portable radio means installation between field operations and the foreman.
e A method of transporting the casualty to the ship's hospital must be developed and additional equipment and personnel must be called in if vertical or near-vertical lifting/lifting is required.
f Company contact and relevant international radio station manuals (including C.I.R.M) should be consulted to plan for a possible “takeover”, notifying relevant external parties.
g If medivac is provided, you must prepare for:
Receive a launch from shore or another vessel nearby (foils, stretcher vehicles, rendezvous, etc.).
get a helicopter
(refer to the ICS Helicopter/Ship Operations Manual for safety
requirements depend on whether the helicopter lands on the deck or whether winch-only is possible).
Transfer the casualty, using your own rescue or recovery vessel, to the nearest vessel with better medical services.
h If necessary, seek medical advice by radio using the International Radio Station in Rome, which provides free medical advice to merchant ships.
i Record events in the event that an accident report form may need to be completed.
Load shifting Immediate action
(how to get on gas carriers)
The sound of a general alarm and a call to the master.
b If cargo movement is suspected due to the ship's list or roll, the OOW must immediately alter course to reduce the effects.
c The crew is in “standby mode.” The rescue vessel must be prepared by the designated boat preparation party.
d Main engine for maneuvering rpm. Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to reduce the speed to a minimum to maintain steering path. Appropriate navigation signals must be given if any future maneuvers are restricted.
e If at night, OOW to turn on deck floodlights.
f The chief mate and other selected crew members to investigate the cargo change and report to the master:
? What has changed.
? Reasons, if known, for the change.
? Damage done (if any).
? Potential for further displacement and/or damage.
? Suggested actions.
g Chief Engineer to ensure that all possible required deck services are available (e.g.
ballast pumps, deck hydraulics, etc.).
h If the master considers that there is any risk to the ship or if any cargo has been lost overboard, the appropriate shore authorities must be notified.
In all cases, the Company must be informed of the situation with regular updates.
Then:
j Where applicable and where there is no risk to life, the chief officer, in consultation with the master, shall take steps to ensure the safety of the cargo moved.
k Based on the displacement weight estimates, stability calculations must be made to assess whether ballast can be safely used to correct any resulting list to prevent further displacement.
l For shifted deck cargo, it may be necessary to consider discarding it if the safety of life or the safety of the ship is in imminent danger. Notification of any discharge along with a position report must be provided to the appropriate shore authorities (how to get on LNG carriers).
m Only after the captain is satisfied that it is safe will the ship “resume passage”.
The Company, in consultation with the Master, will consider moving the vessel to the nearest port if necessary to unload the cargo for security reasons.
Any previously prepared life-saving equipment must be restored.
