VI. MAN OVERBOARD
“Man overboard” is one of the worst alarms while underway. The
successful recovery of someone fallen overboard requires rapid and
prudent actions. As the casualty in most cases is not wearing warm clothes,
death from hypothermia can occur quite quickly.
Man-overboard recovery presents some difficult issues. The first
problem is that of locating the casualty and the second that of recovering
him. If the casualty is seen falling overboard or is subsequently located, it
is vital that as many people as is practically possible, are assigned to
visually observe his position continuously. In a seaway, it is very easy to
lose sight of the casualty, as all that will be visible is his head, and that
may frequently disappear from view. Once the casualty has been found or
if seen falling overboard, the location can be marked with a smoke/light
marker. Other markers such as personal EPIRB’s, lifebuoys, etc. may also
be used. An accurate recording of the ship’s position either by calculation
or by GPS is also required. Many Navigational aids have a MOB function
with which Bridge Personnel must be familiar. Different actions and
maneuvers are undertaken depending on the following situations:
immediate Action situation — the casualty is noticed from the
Bridge and action is initiated immediately;
delayed action situation — the casualty is reported by an eye
witness and action is initiated with some delay;
person missing situation — person is reported as missing.
Anyone who sees a person overboard should take the following
actions:
immediately throw a life buoy (or anything that can float) over the
side;
raise the alarm in a loud voice, repeatedly shouting “Man
overboard! Starboard (port) side!”
keep the casualty in sight and point to him until the boat operator
can see him.
37
All the subsequent actions are initiated by the OOW: the life buoy
with light/smoke signal is released, the general emergency alarm or MOB
alarm is sounded, the ship is steered back to the accident point. If there are
other ships nearby, flag OSCAR is hoisted. A distress broadcast is made
by radio. The rescue boat is prepared for launching.
Man overboard (MOB) drills are a critical component of maritime
safety, designed to prepare crew members to respond swiftly and
effectively in the event of a person falling overboard. These drills are not
only a regulatory requirement but also a vital practice to ensure the safety
and well-being of everyone on board.
A man overboard drill simulates the scenario where a person has
fallen into the water. The primary objective is to execute a coordinated
rescue operation to retrieve the individual as quickly as possible. This
involves alerting the crew, maneuvering the vessel, and deploying rescue
equipment.
Key steps in a Man Overboard Drill
Alerting the Crew: The first step is to raise the alarm. This can
be done by shouting “Man overboard!” and pressing the MOB button on
the GPS to mark the location.
Maneuvering the Vessel: The captain or helmsman will execute
a specific maneuver, such as the Williamson Turn or the Anderson Turn,
to bring the vessel back to the location of the person in the water.
Deploying Rescue Equipment: Lifebuoys, life rafts, and rescue
boats are deployed to assist in the rescue. The crew must be trained to use
this equipment efficiently.
Recovering the Person: Once the person is located, they are
brought back on board using rescue nets, slings, or other equipment.

Importance of regular Man Overboard Drills
Regular drills ensure that the crew is familiar with the procedures
and can act quickly in an emergency. According to SOLAS (Safety of Life
at Sea) regulations, these drills should be conducted frequently to maintain
a high level of preparedness.
Common questions Man Overboard Drills
How often should man overboard drills be conducted? As per
SOLAS, man overboard drills should be conducted regularly, typically
during each voyage or at least once a month.
What equipment is used in man overboard drills? Equipment
includes lifebuoys, rescue boats, GPS MOB buttons, and personal flotation
devices.
By understanding and regularly practicing man overboard drills,
maritime professionals can significantly enhance the safety and security of
their vessels and crew.
