When in port or at anchor, it should be taken into account that the most advisable course is to move, for example, to special “shelters”, or go out to the open sea and avoid the dangerous area of tropical rotating storms.
In cases where circumstances are such that any possibility of leaving the anchorage is excluded, it is recommended to lay out both anchors with the maximum possible length of cable and relieve the load on the cables using suitable engine power.
Anchoring during a tropical storm
When anchoring during a tropical storm, it is very important to constantly ensure that the vessel does not drag its anchors.
If a vessel must remain alongside during the passage of a tropical storm, additional mooring lines must be used to ensure the best safety of the vessel.
If there are ships, floating facilities, floating or other objects in the vicinity that are considered to pose a danger to the ship, the port authorities should be informed accordingly (crewplanet vacancies).
In some ports, where ships for one reason or another cannot go to sea, they are transferred to special “Typhoon Shelters”, where during a typhoon warning for a given area they are moored along with port tugs, barges and the like.
Craftsmen are reminded of their responsibilities under the 1974 SOLAS Convention regarding
tropical storm warning in which state:
When a ship suspects the existence of a tropical storm or is in the immediate vicinity of one, the master must transmit information by all means at his disposal to all ships in the vicinity and to the nearest shore radio or signal station with which he can communicate. Likewise, a report is required if the vessel encounters winds of force 10 or greater for which no warning has been received.
The report must indicate the following (crewplanet vacancies):
The position of the storm, as far as can be determined, along with the UT (GMT) and date on which it was detected.
The position and true course and speed of the vessel when the observation was made.
Barometric pressure at sea level (not adjusted for diurnal variations).
Change in atmospheric pressure during the previous three hours.
The true direction and strength of the wind.
State of the sea.
The height of the wave and the direction it comes from, as well as the period or length of the wave.
While the ship is under the influence of a storm, such messages should be transmitted at least every 3 hours, if possible.
