Eclar Reymark D. BSMT 3F Non What Are The Three (3) Important Man Overboard Recovery Methods Used at Sea and Explain Each Execution Procedures

The document outlines three important man overboard recovery methods: the Williamson turn, Anderson turn, and Scharnov turn. The Williamson turn is best for reduced visibility, positioning the ship on a reciprocal course to the original track, while the Anderson turn is the fastest method for clear visibility, requiring a hard rudder turn. The Scharnov turn aims to return the ship to its wake but requires knowledge of the time elapsed since the person fell overboard to be effective.

What are the three ( 3 ) important Man overboard recovery methods used at sea and explain each
execution procedures .

Williamson turn is ideal method in reduced visibility. If executed properly it positions the ship on a
reciprocal course on its exact original track thereby allowing the search to commence on the track the
victim fell over, not from a parallel track. Speed should be maintained during the turn as any changes in
speed may bring the ship on a reciprocal course in a different position than the line of the initial course.
However, this turn takes the ship further away from the scene of incident.

Anderson Turn/Single Turn - This is the fastest recovery method. It is most appropriate turn for ship in
clear visibility. In case of this turn, rudder is put hard over to the side of the casualty. After deviation
from the original course by 250 degrees, rudder is put to amidships position. Revolution needs to be
modified at the end of the turn and stopping maneuver is initiated.

The Scharnov Turn - he Scharnov turn takes back the ship into her wake. However it cannot be used in
an immediate maneuver. This turn cannot be carried out effectively unless the time elapsed between
the person falling overboard and the commencement of the maneuver is known.
