Safety Advisory Notice

Adjust font size:

 Output No:  MS20080015
 Date Issued: 23/05/08
 Background:

Why this safety advisory notice was developed

 Output Text: The safety management system on board Pasha Bulker did not provide the master with specific guidance about safely putting to sea in adverse weather. Neither the master's standing orders nor the passage plan form prescribed in the safety management system contained any guidance with regard to bridge resource or team management or encouraged its use.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau advises that the owners, operators and masters of ships should consider the safety implications of this safety issue and take action when considered appropriate.
