    Turning Vessel

    Uploaded by

    The document describes three different types of turns that can be performed when responding to a man overboard situation: 1) A single turn is the quickest but does not bring the vessel back into its own wake. It involves turning 25 degrees from the original course with the rudder. 2) A Williamson turn is better for any situation as it results in the vessel proceeding on the reciprocal course after the turn. It involves a 60 degree turn followed by putting the rudder over to the opposite side then steadying on the reciprocal course. 3) A Sharnow turn is quicker than a Williamson turn in a person missing situation as it puts the vessel back in its own wake. However, it is not useful

    Turning short round

    1.Use transverse thrust to assist


    2.RHP-stbd turn most effective
    3.Come to port side of channel
    4.Half ahead and hard to stbd
    5.Once vessel makes headway,stop
    engine and wheel midships
    6.Full astern and once sternway is
    made stop engines.
    7.Half ahead and wheel hard to stbd
    and vessel keeps going to stbd.
    Manoverboard Manouvers
    • SINGLE TURN

    • WILLIAMSON TURN

    • SHARNOW TURN
    Single turn
    • Advantages: Good for immediate
    action,brings vessel round in quickest time
    • Disadvantages:Not effective for delayed
    action or person-missing situation as it
    does not bring vessel into its own wake.
    • Method-1.Rudder hard over to side of
    casualty 2.Deviate 25 deg from original
    course 3.Rudder amidships and stop
    vessel 4.Maintain speed throughout turn.
    Williamson turn
    • AdvantagesGood for any situation as after turn
    is completed vessel proceeds on reciprocal
    course
    • Disadvantages:Not quick like the single turn in
    immediate action situation
    • Method:1.Rudder hard over to side of casualty
    2.Deviate 60deg from original course 3.Put
    rudder hard over to opposite side 4.When 20
    deg from reciprocal course put rudder midhips
    and steady up on reciprocal course
    Sharnow turn
    • Advantages-In a person missing situation this turn will
    bring the vessel round quicker as after the turn vessel
    will proceed on a reciprocal course in its own wake.
    • Disadvanatages:Not useful in immediate action situation
    as vessel will complete its turn astern of the start of turn
    position ,therefore leaving an area unsearched.
    • Method-1.Rudder hard over to casualty side 2.Deviate
    240 deg from original course 3.Rudder hard over to
    opposite side 4.When heading 20 deg from reciprocal
    course put rudder midships
    • 5.Steady up on reciprocal course.
