Port State Control~ Watch keepers Hours of Rest
Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) has issued the following statement:
Incidents in Australian waters, such as the grounding of the Shen Neng 1 (천9 1 1 it),heighten concerns about the causal effect fatigue may have in relation to accidents andincidents, particularly where human error is identified as a possible factor.
Port State Control inspections incorporate checks for compliance with the hours of restrequirements of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certitication andWatchkeeping. During a routine PSC inspection these checks would normally be limited tochecks of the records of hours of rest/work but recent incidents in Australian waters, wherefatigue appears to have been a key factor, have led AMSA to carry out more focusedexamination on hours of rest as part of the initial PSC inspection.
This may include an examination of other evidence, such as log books (including cargo andother operational records), and verbal confirmation with watch keepers during the inspection.It should be noted that where there is evidence that hours of rest are not in accordance withthe STCW Convention AMSA will require corrective action and may consider detaining thevessel under the International Safety Management (ISM) Code where there is evidence thatthe non-compliance is of a repeated and systematic nature."
All owners and operators should ensure that Records of Hours of Rest are fully maintainedon board as per the requirements of STCW.
