Deck Procedures Guide First Edition

Product Description

Every on board department needs to work together to ensure the safety and security of the crew, ship, environment and cargo. The procedures in the Deck Procedures Guide align with those in the widely used ICS Bridge Procedures Guide and Engine Room Procedures Guide, completing an essential set of guides that enable companies to uphold the highest standards of best practice across ship operations. When used in collaboration, users can benefit from harmonised inter-departmental communications and procedures.

Offering a comprehensive overview of essential deck operations, the ICS Deck Procedures Guide ensures that all those working on or maintaining machinery on deck are well-equipped to handle a wide range of operations including cargo operations, bunkering and heavy weather preparations. It includes practical procedures and checklists for deck operations and maintenance of core equipment, across all ship types. Crews can expect guidance that enables compliance with the IMSBC and IMDG Code.

The guide is an invaluable tool for masters, chief officers, bosuns, technical superintendents and other members of deck crew, as well as engineers responsible for maintaining deck equipment and performing bunkering operations, shipping company shoreside safety teams and training institutions. It is recommended that a copy is carried on board every ship.
