What is Safe Manning - Cachalots
SOUTHAMPTON MASTER MARINERS'CLUB TECHNICAL COMMITTEE SEMINAR. what IS safe Manning ? safe Manning CERTIFICATES FOR ALL SHIPS IN EXCESS OF 500 GRT BECAME MANDATORY IN EARLY 1992. Section 30 of the MSA 1988 includes "undermanning" among the reasons for declaring a vessel "dangerously unsafe" and for which the Owner and Master are liable for prosecution. There does not appear to be any mention of " Manning " in SOLAS and although a definition of "seaworthiness" is difficult to identify it surely includes safe Manning . But .. what IS Safety ? It is often defined as freedom from danger or risk and it follows, since danger and risk are always present in some degree that total safety cannot be achieved. A fundamental issue is how to balance the possible penalties incurred by low safety standards against the costs of high safety standards - and to establish what is optimum. Given that Manning is one of the highest expenditure items incurred by the Shipowner or Ship Manager it follows that Manning reductions are an obvious means of economising and over the past two decades we have seen a steady deterioration in Manning standards internationally in terms of both quantity and quality.
