5 HOW WE MEET IN OUR CHANNEL For vessels meeting on the Houston Ship Channel, generally the center channel approach is used. This maneuver is regarded as the safest way to meet two large or deep draft vessels in a narrow channel. To begin this maneuver vessels initially approach head to head. When they are approximately 1/2 mile apart the vessel s rudders are put to starboard to move the vessels to their side of the channel. When the ship s bows are approaching abeam, her helm is put to port to move the sterns away from each other. Right rudder is used to check the swing of the vessels caused by bank suction and the vessel s interaction. It is imperative that the ship s officer ensure that all rudder orders are properly followed. If you have any questions concerning this maneuver please ask before the maneuver is begun. 4
6 COTP POLICY ON VESSEL ANCHORING CAPABILITY The Navigation Safety Regulations, Code of Federal Regulations Title 33, Subpart (o), require the owner, operator or persons in charge of a vessel over 1600 gross tons to ensure that the anchors are immediately ready for letting go. In order to meet this requirement, vessels greater than 1600 gross tons, navigating waters contained in the Captain of the Port Houston-Galveston zone where a federal or state pilot is required shall comply with the following: 1. The vessel s foredeck shall be manned with sufficient, qualified personnel to quickly release and control both anchors on command; 2. Effective communications shall be provided between the bridge and the foredeck; 3. Anchors, anchor tackle, anchor gear, and capstans shall be maintained such that both anchors are ready for quick release. 4. If anchors will not freefall from a position within the hawsepipe, then both anchors shall be walked out of the hawsepipe and maintained in a position ready for quick release; 5. Vessels conducting long transits should schedule appropriate personnel reliefs in accordance with section A-VIII of STCW 78/95 standards. 5
7 WHEN AT ANCHOR IN THE HSC PLEASE FOLLOW THE BELOW LISTED RECOMMENDATIONS Monitor our position by all available means including visual, radar, and GPS. Report any dragging or heading change of more than degrees to the pilot Maintain a vigilant watch for any possible passing traffic. Consider a security call on Channel 13 and/or sound the above whistle signal to contact moving traffic that you feel might be approaching too closely Post proper lookouts for your situation Monitor the following VHF Channels: 13 Vessel Bridge to Bridge 74 Houston Pilots Office 11 VTS above Baytown -or- 12 VTS below Baytown Respond to any calls which name your vessel or pilot Pilot s name, Unit # Maintain a listening watch for fog signals from other vessels Ensure that inspection rounds of the ship are made periodically Ensure vessel access control precautions are maintained in respect to vessel security Notify the pilot & master if the ship drags anchor Call the pilot as soon as visibility improves Keep engines stand-by and ready for use on short notice Make sure your relief understands our situation and he or she is familiar with these recommendations 6
8 THE FOLLOWING INLAND RULES APPLY TO VESSELS ANCHORED IN FOG OR AROUND Rule 35 Part (f) A vessel at anchor shall at intervals of not more than 1 minute ring the bell rapidly for about 5 seconds. In a vessel of 100 meters or more in length the bell shall be sounded in the forepart of the vessel and immediately after the ringing of the bell the gong shall be sounded rapidly for about 5 seconds in the after part of the vessel. A vessel at anchor may in addition sound three blasts in succession; namely, one short, one prolonged and one short blast, to give warning of her positions and of the possibility of collision to an approaching vessel. Rule 35 Part (G) A vessel aground shall give the bell signal and if required the gong signal prescribed in paragraph (f) of this rule and shall, in addition, give three separate and distinct strokes on the bell immediately before and after the rapid ringing of the bell. A vessel aground may in addition sound an appropriate whistle signal. Rule 30 Part (a) A vessel at anchor shall exhibit where it can best be seen: (i) in the forepart, an all-round white light or one ball; and (ii) at or near the stern and at a lower level than the light prescribed in subparagraph (i), an all-round white light. Rule 30 Part (c) A vessel at anchor may, and a vessel of 100 meters or more in length shall, also use the available working or equivalent lights to illuminate her decks. Rule 30 Part (d) A vessel aground shall exhibit the lights prescribed in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Rule and in addition, if practicable, where they can be seen: (i) two all-round red lights in a vertical line; and (ii) three balls in a vertical line. 7
9 Trim NAVIGATION SAFETY GUIDELINES (A) A vessel s trim should be such that the Pilot is ensured of sufficient propeller and rudder action and be in accordance with International Marine Organization, MARPOL Annex I guidelines (see attached exhibit A, page 38), or (1) Vessels less than 800 feet shall have a minimum forward draft equal to the length overall X.0225 and a minimum after draft equal to the length overall X.035. (2) Ships 800 feet and over in length shall have a minimum forward draft of 18 feet and a minimum after draft of 28 feet. (3) In any case the after draft shall not be less than that which is necessary to obtain full immersion of the propeller(s). (B) A vessel whose draft does not meet the minimum draft requirements above may, at the discretion of the Pilots, be accepted for transit on a one-time basis provided that the Captain of the vessel, the person directing movement of the vessel, or the vessel s agent, requests permission from the Houston Pilots Association and provides them with the following as soon as possible but no later than 12 hours before the vessel arrives at the Pilot station or 6 hours before shifting or sailing (1) Principal dimensions of the ship; (2) Deepest attainable fore and aft drafts; 8
10 (3) Reason the vessel cannot be properly ballasted; and (4) Suggestions as to how the vessel will be maneuvered to ensure safe passage. (C) Vessels, which are not able to comply with these guidelines and have historically transited the Houston Ship Channel without problems, may be granted continuance. Engine Revolutions* (A) The maneuvering revolutions and resultant speeds established for a vessel by her builders and designers must be posted and made available to the Pilot upon boarding. All vessels maneuvering in the Houston Ship Channel must be capable of attaining the maneuvering RPMs as posted in the vessel s wheelhouse. (B) All vessels must be able to alter engine speed and direction promptly considering vessels of similar class and engine type. (C) Any vessel without the capacity to attain its posted RPMs in a timely fashion will, at the discretion of the Pilot or the Houston Pilot Safety Committee, be restricted to daylight transit and/or additional Pilotage or tug requirements. * It is recognized that due to a vessel s draft and hydrodynamics of the Houston Ship Channel, a vessel may not achieve the posted resultant speed for given RPMs. 9
