, ^ W D AICCNS 1LCnNI 1nnL CCNSCk1IUM Z AFC/1989/HSE/02 W
The inherent/navigation dangers. Safety margins available. Weather condition and sea state. Total Machinery breakdown Action When the vessel has total machinery breakdown, the action taken by the Superintendent is to contain/prevent further damage and the threat posed to the vessel / cargo / personnel / environment doe to pollution. The action that is taken is- Dropping anchor, if no underwater dangers exist. Informing other vessel / endangered units to take preventive action / counter measures. Sounding / displaying appropriate sound / light signals to warm / draw attention of other vessels in the vicinity. Allowing the vessel to drift clear of danger(S). Promulgating a distress / safety /urgency message, as deemed necessary. Seeking towing/salvage assistance Taking all precaution to reduce the angle of impact in a collision by swinging vessels heading / reducing speed of drift/deploying fenders.(Endeavour to make the impact a glancing blow instead of a head-on contact). If adequate chain cable is not available, dropping an anchor underfoot reduces the rate of drift / impact of collision. 9.10 Steering Gear Failure The ATTC barges are not propelled but however the contractor shall ensure that the towing vessels have the following alternative arrangements / procedures in place. A main and an auxiliary steering gear shall be provided and shall be so arranged that the failure of one of them will not render the other one inoperative. To avoid failure all the steering gear components shall be of sound and reliable construction Main and auxiliary steering gear power units shall be arranged to restart automatically when power is restored after a power failure. Independent short circuit protection only shall be provided for steering gear control supply units. 9.11 Structural Failure of Vessel All ATTC barges are designed to the specifications of IMO and are classed by approved societies but an event leading to the structural failure of a vessel cannot be ruled out due to accidental impact due to external sources. Whenever such an event occurs, the Barge superintendent and the Client representative onboard will be immediately informed. Foremost concern has to be given to preservation of human life on the vessel. Hence if the event endangers the life and safety of personnel a decision to evacuate personnel will be promptly taken by the Superintendent as specified in section 9.8. nkD kCCLSS LA1ICkM
, ^ W D AICCNS 1LCnNI 1nnL CCNSCk1IUM Z AFC/1989/HSE/02 W
Competent personnel will immediately assess the situation and inform the Superintendent on the gravity / severity of the event. If corrective action can be taken to avert further damage to the stability of the vessel, such actions will be promptly initiated. These actions may include ballasting / de-ballasting, pegging leaks etc. The priorities while taking such actions shall be as follows: 1. Human life 2. Environment 3. Assets 9.12 Loss of Anchor Mooring failure may arise from dragging of anchor(s), failure of the anchor system or wire rupture. Under normal weather conditions, when moored alongside a facility, action is required to avoid collision or loss of the gangway. In severe weather conditions when moored away from platform, a single anchor line failure would bring the vessel to the highest state of alert; failure of the complete system requires cooperation from all personnel and available resources to avoid a possible collision with the facility or grounding / structural damage, and to bring the vessel into sailing condition. Potential sites for accidents which will be regularly inspected are: Fairleads Winches unit position and condition Check anchor / buoy positions Mooring line tension Tow bridle Environmental conditions (seas, winds) Action to be Taken: To prevent or minimize further damage to the unit or personnel onboard Establish extent of damage and isolate area (if possible) Establish stability requirement and correct heal / trim Repair parts Monitor mooring line tensions Monitor units position Tug assistance to control steerage Close watertight doors Evaluate stability and correct by ballasting / de-ballasting nkD kCCLSS LA1ICkM

ANCHOR RECOVERY PROCEDURE 1. The procedure for anchor retrieval is similar to anchor relocation. The difference is that the AHT will back up until it is close to the barge. 2. The AHT will then slack the pennant wire. 3. The barge takes in the slack of the anchor wire and lifts the anchor off the AHTs deck. 4. The anchor will be secured at the fairlead. If site conditions do not permit the securing of anchors to their respective fairleads or if it is deemed unsafe, anchors can be lifted off the AHTs deck and be stored on the barges deck. 5. The buoy and the pennant wire will be lifted and placed on the barges deck by the barges crane. Note: Under no circumstances shall the pennant wire be slackened by the AHT at a faster rate than the barge is picking up the anchor wire. This will prevent the anchor from accidentally being dropped to the sea floor at the barge location if the anchor was secured at the AHTs stern. 9.13 Helicopter Ditches Near Vessel The employee first aware of incident raises the alarm and alerts the Barge control room of the situation. Position a lookout to keep the aircraft / ditching position in sight and posts additional lookouts whilst closing to the ditched aircraft to recover the survivors. Nearby AHT (Anchor Handling Tugs) will be deployed to the site to undertake a search and rescue for survivors. The Superintendent may decide to launch the rescue boat or a life raft after assessing the situation. Thorough assessment is required to confirm the extent of aero fuel spill and corrective actions and the possibility of igniting the spill due to rescue boat engine. Contact helicopter operations for confirmation of helicopter personnel and flight plan. Superintendent to evaluate the situation and consider key issues to determine whether the emergency is a minor or major incident o Does full or partial operations abandonment of personnel need to be considered? o Do personnel require external medical assistance? o Are external emergency resources required? Issue a distress message. Proceeds to the area with dispatch to render assistance. Announces/signals MOB station if and has the rescue boat manned and prepares it for lowering. Ensure that the following additional gear is positioned in the rescue boat:- Extra life jacket. Lifebuoys with MOB Markers. First aid kit with burn dressing. Readies the ships fire pumps.

Efforts shall be undertaken by competent personnel to restore the stability of the vessel by pegging the leak or pumping the water overboard. Inspect the flooded compartment and adjacent compartments Assess the nature and causes of damage. Appropriate Shore based authorities will be informed about the situation immediately after detection of the flooding. nkD kCCLSS LA1ICkM

Ensure all watertight doors/hatches are closed to prevent adjacent compartments getting flooded. Sounds emergency station, if necessary. Deputes personnel to control the flooding. Instruct the warehouse man and riggers to assist in assembling the required gear / stores in a convenient place. Turn out rescue boat to embarkation deck. Reduce the ships speed / stops the vessel. Alter the vessels heading to bring the affected side to leeward of the sea / weather. If the ballast pump is unable to cope with the flooding rate, deploy rigs additional pumps. Adjust the trim to reduce the effect of flooding. Place shoring/stoppers/cement boxes over affected area to reduce the inflow of water. Shift /jettison cargo, as appropriate to correct list/trim. All attempts will be undertaken to avoid fuel or any marine pollutants into the ocean. However the decision to abandon the barge will depend on the superintendent and the Client representative on board who will be guided by the shore based authorities. 9.17 Vessel Grounding In the event of vessel grounding and depending upon the severity the emergency response team will remain in communication with the vessel master or superintendent and provide appropriate advice. Consideration will be given to evacuate the vessel or call for addition assistance to refloat the vessel. Assess the situation before taking the hasty decision. Assess the water depth in front and behind you, the wind and current conditions and state of the tide If any damage is found after completing initial inspection, take action to secure the boat and control the damage. It may be wise to set an anchor to avoid further movement of the vessel. Ensure that all personnel wear their personal floatation device. If there is no immediate danger contact the coast guard and alert them about the situation. 9.18 Rough Weather Operation General Precautions When the vessel is required to operate in or encounters heavy weather whilst on passage, the following precautions/ actions are taken:- nkD kCCLSS LA1ICkM
, ^ W D AICCNS 1LCnNI 1nnL CCNSCk1IUM Z AFC/1989/HSE/02 W
Action by the Master: Nominates safely patrols to ensure safety of cargo/ vessel Alters course and speed to reduce roll/ pitch/ heave to the minimum. Scrutinizes weather reports/ routing instructions and decides if a deviation is necessary. If a tropical storm is suspected/ predicted take preventive action Inform Company/ Client if delay in expected time of arrival (ETA) is anticipated and log the same. Action by Officer of the Watch: Deputes a patrol to inspect all cargo lashings/ holds/ spaces to ensure no displacement of cargo. Re-stows/ Re-locates loose stores/ articles. Ensures all watertight hatches and doors are secured and that there is no seepage of sea water into the vessel/ holds. Ensures all paints/ thinners/ corrosive liquids are stowed/ lashed securely. Rigs lifelines on deck to facilitate movement of personnel. Permits only essential crew on the upper decks. Deputes a patrol to inspect all holds/ adjacent compartments to check for structural failures. Action by Chief Engineer Organizes patrols of engine/ machinery spaces to ensure watertight integrity of vessels. Organizes additional watch keepers to assist Engineer /Officer of the watch, if required. Inspects all stores to ensure that all gear is secure. Sounds fuel/ lube oil tanks frequently to ensure that no water is shipped though air vents, etc. Advises Master on machinery performance/ restrictions. Action by Engineer Officer on the Watch Monitors main machinery parameters/ performance closely to ensure that the engines run smoothly/ do not stall. Ensures that speed limitations as instructed by the Chief Engineer are implemented. Have the fitters ready on short notice to revert to maneuvering mode (on engines), if applicable. UNCONTROLLED DRIFT CONSIDERATIONS A situation where the vessel is in uncontrolled drift a number of circumstances pose a serious threat to the vessel, especially if due to mooring failure while working alongside a fixed installation. The following should be considered: Towing Immediately alert Standby AHT for assistance and prepare to pullout If the situation demands, the Barge Master shall request assistance from any other nearest tug. nkD kCCLSS LA1ICkM
, ^ W D AICCNS 1LCnNI 1nnL CCNSCk1IUM Z AFC/1989/HSE/02 W
Heaving To If the water depth and seabed are convenient, consider dragging the anchors on a short line to reduce drifting speed and keep the vessels head to sea. Anchoring If the water depth is convenient, consider anchoring to avoid possible grounding, taking into consideration a) weather predictions b) time required for assistance to reach the position c) nature of seabed / depth d) possibility of speed reduction prior to anchoring (dragging) Dragging Force Each anchor will act with a force of roughly ten times its weight, provided a soft sea-bed and a sufficient length anchor line (so as not to cause any lifting of the anchor itself) are available. Procedures Under favorable weather conditions or when no imminent hazards exist, the Barge Master shall: a) request assistance through the shore office b) maintain the vessel safety pending the arrival of required assistance c) issue a Safety Signal Advisory Message to all shipping in the area Under adverse conditions, the Master / Superintendent shall: a) take every action to avoid potential hazards b) request assistance from any source c) prepare for the evacuation of personnel d) take precautions to maintain maximum vessel performance e) take any measure to avoid grounding or colliding with objects When unable to maneuver, lights and shapes for vessels not under command are to be exhibited as prescribed by international regulations, and appropriate sound signals are to be given. Path and Speed Determine the probable path and speed of drift, taking into consideration pertinent and predicted weather conditions, tidal current and the general situation. Consult the chart as to obstructions or other hazards along the estimated path. Emergency Anchorage Prepare the emergency/ Bow anchor for emergency anchorage. Drop the anchor against the path of the drift. nkD kCCLSS LA1ICkM
, ^ W D AICCNS 1LCnNI 1nnL CCNSCk1IUM Z AFC/1989/HSE/02 W
Bow/ Borrow anchor shall be provided in the bow of the vessel at the mid of the width. At any point of time during the sailing or anchorage it should be ready for let-in go position. Towing bridle with all accessories shall be standby during the anchorage. PASSING ANCHOR OR EMERGENCY TOW PENNANTS IN EXTREME CONDITIONS Passing Anchor or Emergency Tow Pennants in Extreme Conditions Diag 7. Passing Anchor or Emergency Tow Pennants 1. Boat clear of barge. Crane heaves wire to main deck. 2. Barge crew connects work/tow wire to anchor pennant. 3. Barge crew then lift connection and re-secure with soft line strop. Note: Barge crew should have oxy-acetylene cutting torch ready to cut wire/chain slings which may be securing pennant.
Diag 7: PASSING ANCHOR OR EMERGENCY TOWS PENNANTS IN EXTREME CONDITIONS Diag 8. Passing Anchor or Emergency Tow Pennants 1.Connection made on barge deck. 2.Cut away strops. Secure pennants to main deck. 3.AHT heaves on winch and prepares to start towing/anchor handling. 4. Note -- If possible pass pennant/towline connection by crane or tugger as cutting and dropping the connection from main deck level might result in fouling of pennant on lower hull fittings/anchor projections nkD kCCLSS LA1ICkM

Diags 6, 7, and 8. Passing Anchor or Emergency Tow Pennants in Extreme Conditions This system works well in even extreme storm conditions as the lee formed by the barge is used to connect up the messengers and pennants. If only one tug can be connected at say the starboard bow, the tow will lie at a very broad angle to the tug and making headway will be very difficult, but drift can be arrested. If another tug can connect in a similar manner to the port bow then towing can commence with the vessel following the tugs more naturally.
d. Using anchor chains/wires In this case the operation is carried out as follows. 1. Get the vessel to deploy say 1000 feet of anchor line, at least 3 to 4 times water depth. (see diag 9). Diag 9: Sweeping Anchor Chain

Diags 9a and 9b: Sweeping Anchor Chain 2. Rig up the grapple and catch the line at a convenient point as the drift of the unit stretches out the mooring line. 3. Stop off the bight and cut away the section leading to the anchor. 4. Connect the new towline (see diags 10 & 11) into an eye formed in the mooring line. Diag 10: Towing On Barge Anchor Wires Method 2 - Using running shackle
Diag 10a: Towing On Barge Anchor Wires Method 2 1. Sweep anchor wire with grapple -- using Work drum. 2. Pull bight on board. 3. Shackle tow wire into bight of anchor wire. Use 110 tomme SWL bow shackle. nkD kCCLSS LA1ICkM

Hazard Evaluation Evaluate the time required to obtain adequate assistance, objects or shallow waters in the path of drift, and the weather prognosis. Assess the dangers to vessel safety and the hazards to the personnel. If there are hazards to the vessel or personnel, issue an Urgency Signal Message (PAN PAN PAN), stating the potential hazards and circumstances. Consider the evacuation of non-essential personnel. If the situation presents imminent peril, transmit a Distress Signal Message. (MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY) Notification Notify the Owner / MRCC of: a) position/ time b) cause of failure c) estimated path and speed d) precautions taken e) potential hazards f) assistance required g) intentions h) decision on evacuations of personnel Navigational Warning Transmit a Safety Signal Advisory Message as a warning to all shipping in the area, stating position / time and the estimated path and speed. nkD kCCLSS LA1ICkM
, ^ W D AICCNS 1LCnNI 1nnL CCNSCk1IUM Z AFC/1989/HSE/02 W
Potential Peril If there is a prediction of weather deterioration or if the vessel might become imperiled, consider the following: a) Inform all personnel of the situation and decision. b) request preparations for evacuation operations if within range of helicopters c) redistribute or dump loads to ensure the maximum vessel performance d) carry out battening-down procedures e) Keep the MRCC informed of intentions and proceedings. Imminent Peril If the decision to abandon the vessel is reached, consider the following: a) determine the mode of operation and initiate preparations b) transmit an urgency or distress signal and message c) carry out battening-down procedures d) lower the anchors if possible / appropriate e) see that the foghorn, mandatory navigation lights and deck lighting are operating f) carry out closing down procedures g) Complete the abandonment. Grounding If grounding cannot be avoided, consider the possibility of increasing the draught to avoid being pushed up too high on the ground. If the vessel is maneuverable to some degree by its own power or by the help of another vessel, try to choose the best place to ground in the area by consulting charts. Lower anchors prior to grounding (if appropriate). As soon as the vessel is actually grounded, consider the possibility of pumping more water into the lower hull in order to stabilize the vessel and limit damages. This depends on weather and bottom conditions. Lloyds Open Form Lloyds Standard Form of salvage agreement, no cure no pay, and is usually called Lloyds Open Form. When the Barge Master engages vessels for assistance, the terms are to be based on LOF. It will then only be necessary to insert the names of the vessel and the Master / Superintendent on the form and sign it. If negotiating by radio, the following telegram is to be used: Accept Salvage Service on basis Lloyds Standard Form No Cure No Pay Stop Acknowledge, Repeating Foregoing. (If the Barge Master is forced to accept absurd conditions due to imminent peril, the Court may invalidate or disregard such conditions). OIL & NATURAL GAS CORPORATION LTD.
