    MAN-OVERBOARD MANOEUVRES

    Practice has shown that different man-overboard manoeuvres may be required, depending upon the situation prevailing and the type of vessel involved. The effectiveness of the manoeuvres described has been proved in many manoverboard situations, including the following: Immediate Action Situation: Casualty is noticed on the Bridge and action is initiated immediately. Delayed Action Situation: Casualty is reported to the Bridge by an eye witmess and action is initiated with some delay. Person Missing Situation: Person is reported to the Bridge as missing.

    When a ship is making full speed ahead, the following three standard manoeuvres are used;
    1. Single Turn (270 Manoeuvre) Rudder hard over (in an immediate action situation, only to the side of the casualty). After deviation from the original course by 250, rudder to mid-ship position and stopping manoeuvre to initiated. 2. Williamson Turn Rudder hard over (in an immediate action situation, only to the side of the casualty). After deviation from the original course by 60, rudder hard over to the opposite side. When heading is 20 short of opposite course, rudder to mid-ship position and vessel turned to opposite course. 3. Scharnow Turn (not to be used in an immediate action situation)
