No.12.1は以下の要求事項があります。
12.1 Is access to the ship being controlled by an adequate deck watch? (V)
Even if it is not applicable under local regulations for some vessels to comply with the ISPS Code, it must be borne in mind that it is good practice to have a member of the vessel’s crew permanently stationed at the gangway for safety purposes. They will be able to assist persons transiting the gangway as required and to monitor any dangerous practices. Gangway watch personnel must keep in mind that they are the first point of contact on the vessel for anyone boarding.If a vessel is alongside a berth affected by tidal conditions, constant reassessment of the situation should be carried out. In addition, the watchman must have access to the times of high and low waters and be aware of any cargo operations which may affect the vessel’s trim. If a watchman is not present at the gangway and an incident occurs, the vessel’s crew may carry on with their duties unaware of the situation. (Gangways, 2014)
The deck watch has a responsibility to make all visitors aware of any specific hazards of the cargo or operations onboard the vessel and point out instructions to visitors what to do in the event of an emergency.
特に問題となってくるのが、最後の”The deck watch has a responsibility to make all visitors aware of any specific hazards of the cargo or operations onboard the vessel and point out instructions to visitors what to do in the event of an emergency.”です。
避難時の連絡や、Cargoの危険性について訪船者に知らせる必要があります。その他にRISQでは直接書いていませんが、喫煙場所やUSBスティックの使用についても実務上知らせたいです。
しかし、Deck Watch（Gangway Watch）は若年のRating Crewが行うことが多く、ID Checkくらいは徹底してできるようになっても、訪船者に対して、様々な注意事項を説明するのは難しいと思います。
また、口頭で説明したところで、Rightship InspectorにEvidenceを提示することが難しいです。
そのため、以下のような注意事項を記載したビラを訪船人に渡すことで、説明が省け、証明にもなるのではないでしょうか。
