off-dock operations

Release time: 2023-07-29


(1) The captain should determine the method of leaving the dock based on the impact of wind direction, wind speed, flow velocity, and direction on the ship, as well as the water depth around the dock and the docking situation of the ship, and inform the duty personnel.

(2) Personnel on duty and those operating on the deck shall wear Personal flotation device.

(3) Put away the unwanted ropes and obstacles outside the ship's side.

(4) Pay attention to the dock, berth, surrounding environment, front and rear ships, and the dynamics of incoming and outgoing ships. Only when there is no obstruction to the navigation of other ships can actions be taken, and the signal to leave the dock should be sounded according to regulations. After obtaining the consent of the towing barge, the vehicle can be operated.

When a single ship leaves the dock, in the river section with flow, under normal circumstances, the cables can be disconnected according to the direction of the water flow. When the ship is at an angle with the water flow, all cables can be disconnected and the high-speed train leaves the dock; In flat flow areas, you can first use a bamboo pole to prop up the stern of the ship, and then start the train when there is enough water depth. When the front and rear gears of a dual vehicle ship are tight, the rudder of the dual vehicle can be used to coordinate and move laterally away from the berth.

When leaving the dock, it is not advisable to use the vehicle too aggressively and the rudder should not be used too early. A small rudder angle is required to prevent the stern from sweeping the dock or other docked ships.

(7) When the attached tugboat leaves the dock, first notify the barge to release the shore cable. After hearing the barge signal, the tugboat will then release the bow cable and move forward slowly. Gradually use a small rudder angle to make the ship outward, send a deputy team member to the stern to pay attention to the ship's dynamics, command the barge to operate the outer rudder, and gradually accelerate the speed when the ship stops at the dock in a timely manner or when there is no obstruction to the ship.
