Description
A Pocket Guide to Recovery Techniques, 2014 Edition
This guide to recovery techniques provides information on how to create and implement onboard recovery plans and procedures, using MSC Circular 1447 as a reference. It includes techniques for rescuing people in various scenarios, such as those in a survival craft or in the water, as well as identifying potential challenges that may arise during a rescue. The guide also covers the immediate care that should be provided to those who have been rescued from the water.
According to the SOLAS regulation III/17-1, ships that go on international voyages must have specific plans and procedures in place for rescuing people from the water. These plans should follow the guidelines set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). They should also identify the equipment that will be used for rescue efforts and detail measures to minimize the risk to shipboard personnel.
