Page 14 3. Decision matrix for determining towing patterns The towing pattern should be decided by the captain of the ship, in consultation with the captain of the towing ship, by referring the following Decision Matrix. In considering the towing pattern, the ship status and the surrounding conditions (e.g. weather conditions, availability of the propulsion system and of power supply for deck machinery and imminent danger of grounding) should be taken into account. The primary towing patterns should be to tow from the bow. If it is not possible to tow from the bow for some reasons such as collision, towing from the stern may be selected as an alternative. Condition In case there is imminent danger such as grounding in a short time; less than 1 hour for instance In case the weather is bad when connecting the towing lines between the ship and the towing ship In case the duration of being towed is long; more than 1 day for instance. In case towing apparatus is not supplied from the towing ship. In case there is no power supply for deck machinery to handle the towing lines. Towing pattern f/m the bow f/m the stern 1-F 1-A 1-F 1-A 2-F 2-A 3-F 3-A 3-F 3-A Remarks In case the towing ship has the sufficient towing force, 1The pattern 2 (2-F or 2-A) should be taken, if it is necessary to distribute the towing force into two bollards. 2However, when there is not enough time to make arrangements for the pattern 2, the pattern 1 may be taken on the condition that the towing force is controlled not to exceed the strength of the deck fittings. 3Furthermore, at the later stage, the towing pattern 1 should be changed to the pattern 2 when there is enough time to do so. In case the towing ship has the sufficient towing force, 1The pattern 2 (2-F or 2-A) should be taken, if it is necessary to distribute the towing force into two bollards. 2However, when there is not enough time to make arrangements for the pattern 2, the pattern 1 may be taken on the condition that the towing force is controlled not to exceed the strength of the deck fittings. 3Furthermore, at the later stage, the towing pattern 1 should be changed to the pattern 2 when there is enough time to do so. The mooring hawser or other towing lines of the ship should be passed to the towing ship. The mooring hawser or other towing lines of the ship should be passed to the towing ship.
Page 15 4. Towing patterns The towing patterns for this ship are the following 6 patterns in principle. The pattern is determined by the captain or the headquarters in consultation with the towing company, taking into account of the ship status and the surrounding conditions. (1)Pattern 1-F (towing from the bow) Use a hawser or a wire rope and a bollard (2)Pattern 1-A (towing from the stern) Use a hawser or a wire rope and a bollard
Page 16 (3)Pattern 2-F (towing from the bow) Use a hawser or a wire rope and two bollards in order to distribute the towing force. Due to the mooring arrangement it is difficult to distribute the towing force on two bollards with one towing line. It is therefore necessary to make a crow-foot to put between the bollards and the towing line. (4)Pattern 2-A (towing from the stern) Use a hawser or a wire rope and two bollards in order to distribute the towing force. Due to the mooring arrangement it is difficult to distribute the towing force on two bollards with one towing line. It is therefore necessary to make a crow-foot to put between the bollards and the towing line..
Page 17 (5)Pattern 3-F (towing from the bow) Use hawsers of the ship. (6)Pattern 3-A (towing from the stern) Use hawsers of the ship.
Page 18 5. Organization 5.1 Personnel distribution The towing operation should be conducted in accordance with the following organization chart.

Page 21 5.3 Notes for the towing operation (1)During the connecting operation 1All the crews should be well informed of the work procedures and personnel distribution. 2The person in charge of the work (chief officer) on F'cle deck (or Poop deck) should always contact the captain, and finish the work as fast as possible. 3The person in charge of the work should watch the movement of towing ship carefully. When the towing line with eye splice is strained, he should evacuate the crews to safe places. (2)During towing operation 1It is necessary to grease up continuously in order to prevent wear of ropes in Panama chock when wire ropes are used as towing lines. 2Wear-out condition in Panama chock should be constantly checked. 3Rudder should be operated to improve the ship's movement of following to the towing ship, if necessary. 4It should be confirmed in the engine room if there is a problem of free propeller rotation. It is necessary to determine in advance how to lock the propeller shaft. 6. Procedures for connecting towing lines The connecting procedures for the towing patterns described in Section 4 is shown below. The captain should decide the connecting procedures in consideration of the arrangement of mooring equipment and the ship status after consulting with the captain of the towing ship and inform the crews of the procedures.
Page 22 (1)Pattern 1-F (1) Pull out the hawser from the aft mooring drum of mooring winch F-1P. (2) Receive the messenger rope from the towing ship. (3) Pass the messenger rope through the Panama chock F-13C and round the leading roller F-9P, and wind it up on the aft mooring drum of mooring winch F-1P. (4) Raise the wire with eye splice into the deck by winding aft mooring drum of mooring winch F-1P. When the eye is far enough into the deck to be hooked on bollard F-2P, stop the winch.
Page 23 (5) Wind off the hawser from the forward mooring drum of mooring winch F-1P and put it round leading roller F-10P and connect it to the wire with eye spice using the strop chain.
