    The document provides guidance for developing ship-specific plans and procedures for recovering persons from the water. It recommends conducting a risk assessment and designing recovery plans to minimize injury risk while transferring persons horizontally. Plans should specify equipment capacity, conduct operations away from propellers in calm conditions based on ship characteristics and available crew.

    Ship-specific plans and procedures for recovery of persons from the water

    Matters to be considered when developing plans and procedures


    According toMSC.1/Circ.1447 the following should be considered:

     A risk assessment should be conducted and documented when developing plans and procedures
    for recovery of persons from the water, including equipment intended to be used, taking into
    account the anticipated conditions and ship-specific characteristics.

     The recovery plans and procedures should facilitate the transfer of persons from the water to the
    ship while minimizing the risk of injury from impact with the ship's side or other structures, including
    the recovery appliance itself.

     To the extent practicable, recovery procedures should provide for recovery of persons in a
    horizontal or near-horizontal ("deck-chair") position. Recovery in a vertical position should be
    avoided whenever possible as it risks cardiac arrest in hypothermic casualties (refer to the Guide for
    cold water survival (MSC.1/Circ.1185/Rev.1)).

     If carried, dedicated recovery equipment should be clearly marked with the maximum number of
    persons it can accommodate, based on a weight of 82.5 kg per person.

     Recovery operations should be conducted at a position clear of the ship's propellers and, as far as
    practicable, within the ship's parallel mid-body section.

     A source of illumination and, where required, a source of power should be available for the area
    where the recovery operation is conducted.

     Ship-specific procedures for the recovery of persons from the water should specify the anticipated
    conditions under which a recovery operation may be conducted without causing undue hazard to
    the ship and the ship's crew, taking into account, but not limited to:

    i. maneuverability of the ship;.

    ii. freeboard of the ship;.

    iii. points on the ship to which casualties may be recovered;.

    iv. characteristics and limitations of equipment intended to be used for recovery operations;.

    v. available crew and personal protective equipment (PPE);.

    vi. wind force, direction and spray;.

    vii. significant wave height (Hs);.

    viii. period of waves;.

    ix. swell; and.

    x. safety of navigation.
