Upon arrival, Masters of vessels must be aware of any local tidal or current conditions at the berth that could affect safe mooring, prevailing wind conditions that could affect the safety of operations, other conditions affecting operations such as wave/swell/visibility/electrical storm and the effect of heavy rainfall or drought on the berth or approach channel. The Master must also ensure that his vessel is securely moored and that weather conditions are monitored. A stand-by crew must be deployed for possible emergency unberthing and safety access between the jetty and ship provided.
