SAMPLE
Maritime Transport Operator Plan
Version 4
This sample maritime transport operator plan was developed to provide guidance for
operators and to show how an operator plan might be put together to meet the requirements
of the Maritime Operator Safety System (MOSS). This sample is intended for a very small
vessel, with limited staff, but many components are appropriate for larger operations.
This is not an official MNZ document. It is not compulsory in any way to meet requirements in
the manner presented in this sample, nor does following this sample guarantee that
requirements for the operation will be met.
Any feedback on what you find useful, or not, is welcomed.

Review and continuous improvement
Reviews will be conducted at least annually and generally at the end of the summer
charter season. Reviews will also be conducted when an accident, incident, mishap,
new information or any other occurrence demonstrates the need for an immediate
improvement.
Information considered during reviews will include the outcome of assessment of any
hazard, incident or accident reports, crew feedback from operations and training,
customer feedback, peer discussions with other operators and information contained
in Maritime NZ newsletters and safety guidelines.
Reviews and any changes made to the operator plan will be recorded on the Record
of operator plan reviews (located in Section C Records and Plans).
Major or safety-related changes to the operator plan will result in a new version
number.
If changes are made to the operator plan, the hard copy located on-board the vessel
will be replaced by the current version as soon as practicable, and before any
operations of the vessel. This will be noted on the Record of Operator Plan
Reviews in Section C. Any other printed copies are uncontrolled.
The version number of the hard copy on board the vessel will be checked against the
current version number of the main office copy as part of monthly checks.
All staff and crew will be made aware of any changes made.
The operator plan will not be amended without the consent of the owner.
Page 10
2.3
Crew qualifications and records
All crew who are required to hold a Certificate of Competency will provide a copy of their
certificates and CV to the owner. Copies will be retained in the crew records file at the
company’s home office. Crew records for any employee described above will be retained for
at least one year from the date that employee ceases to perform duties requiring a
Certificate of Competency.
Details of all crew including contact numbers and details of certificates of competency and
expiry dates (where applicable) will be recorded on the record of crew details record (in
Section C1). The crew records table will be checked regularly and skippers and crew will be
reminded of any expiry dates due within six months.
2.4
Accident and incident recording and reporting
Details of any accidents, incidents and mishaps that occur will be recorded in the vessel
logbook immediately or as soon as practicable thereafter. The information will then be
copied into the Incident and accident register (in Section C2) at a more suitable time.
All accidents and incidents will be reviewed to determine whether corrective action needs to
be taken and/or if official reports are required. If it is determined that changes to procedures
and/or further training are required this will be undertaken as soon as possible. Any changes
to the operator plan will be made in accordance with 2.2 Review and continuous
improvement.
Incidents, accidents, and mishaps resulting in serious harm will be reported to Maritime New
Zealand as soon as practicable. Further information is on the MNZ website

A3 Health and safety
3.1
Safety policy
It is the policy of Mighty Sprite Ltd to always strive to ensure the safest operation possible.
We will do this by following the Safe Operating and Emergency Procedures established
within this operator plan and actively engaging in hazard identification and control, and
continuous improvement of this operator plan.
3.2
Hazards identification and control

All skippers, crew and staff are obliged and encouraged to actively engage in hazard
identification.
The skipper will record in the vessel logbook any newly identified hazards (or
potential hazards).
As soon as possible after arrival ashore, the skipper (if not the owner) will advise the
owner of the hazard and the hazard will be assessed.
If the hazard cannot be eliminated it will be isolated; if it cannot be isolated it will be
minimised.
If a hazard cannot be eliminated, the hazard and controls will be recorded in the
Hazard Register, in the applicable vessel manual.
All reported hazards (whether eliminated, isolated or minimised) will be recorded in
the record of hazard reviews (in Section C4).
All crew or staff who could be exposed to, or will be involved in controlling the newly
identified hazard will be notified of the hazard and any controls established.
If procedural changes are or may be required, the relevant section of the operator
plan will be reviewed in accordance with 2.3 Review and continuous improvement.
Reviews of all identified hazards will take place at least annually during operator plan
reviews and recorded in the record of hazard reviews (in Section C4).

3.3
Fatigue management
Fatigue is the state of feeling very tired, weary or sleepy resulting from insufficient sleep,
prolonged mental or physical work, or extended periods of stress or anxiety. Boring or
repetitive tasks can intensify risk of fatigue. Factors that contribute to fatigue may be
internal or external to the work environment.
Signs and symptoms of fatigue include:



tiredness
sleepiness, including falling asleep
against your will ("micro" sleeps)
irritability




depression
giddiness
loss of appetite
increased susceptibility to illness
A person who is fatigued may not be capable of recognising it.
Page 13
Studies report that the effects of fatigue include:











reduced decision making ability
reduced communication skills
reduced attention and vigilance
reduced ability to handle stress on the job
reduced reaction time – both in speed and thought
a failure to respond to changes in surroundings or information provided
being unable to stay awake (for example falling asleep while operating machinery or
driving a vehicle)
increased tendency for risk-taking
increased forgetfulness
increased errors in judgement
increased accident rates.
Mighty Sprite Ltd acknowledges the risks posed by the fatigue in the operation. It confirms
that it will fully support all crew members in reporting their fatigue or concerns of the
condition of other crew members (including the skipper) to the skipper and/or owner when it
arises. Action to mitigate the risks of fatigue may include finding replacement crew, adjusting
schedules or cancelling operations if necessary.
3.4
Drug and alcohol policy
Mighty Sprite Ltd has a zero tolerance policy with respect to crew working while under the
influence of illicit drugs or alcohol. There may also be risks associated with the use of
prescription medicines, and this must be considered if required.
The use of illicit drugs by passengers while on board is also forbidden. While passengers are
permitted to consume their own alcohol on board in limited quantities, consumption will be
monitored and passengers will be discouraged from becoming intoxicated. Intoxicated
passengers (whether by alcohol or illicit drugs) will not be carried.
Page 14
A4 Crew familiarisation and training
4.1
Skipper induction and training
Before taking the vessel to sea, any new skippers must read and understand this Maritime
Transport Operator Plan and be trained and conversant in all competencies relevant to the
safe and clean operation of the vessel.
New skippers will complete and sign the Skipper induction checklist (in Section C1).
Completed forms will be stored in the Crew records file at the company’s home office.
Blank sign off sheets are in Section C1.
Only the owner may conduct new skipper training and sign off.
4.2
New crew member induction and training
Within one week of joining Mighty Sprite Ltd, all new crew must have read the relevant
sections of this operator plan as listed on the Crew induction checklist (in Section C1).
New crew will complete and sign a copy of the Crew induction checklist. Completed forms
will be stored in the Crew records file at the company’s home office. Blank sign off sheets
are available in Section C 1.
Any skipper employed by Mighty Sprite Ltd may conduct new crew member training. The
owner must approve final sign off.
All new skippers and crew must receive a safety induction (including reading the
hazard register) and sign the relevant section of the induction sheet before going to
sea.
4.3
Competency, drills and on-going training
Skipper and crew competency will be monitored on an on-going basis by observation, from
feedback and by examining the outcome of any drills and incident, accident or hazard
reviews. Crew will undertake refresher training if they have not worked on board the vessel
within the preceding 6 months or any time they need to increase their competency.
Drills will be carried out at intervals not exceeding 6 months. Where it is not practical to
undertake a simulated drill, we will discuss the procedure and familiarise the crew and
skippers with the operation of the associated equipment. As the vessel is generally operated
with only the skipper, some drills may be conducted during non-commercial trips where
family and friends can simulate the role of passengers.
All crew drills and refresher training will be recorded primarily in the vessel logbook. At a
suitable time, records of all training and drills will be recorded on the Record of drills and
on-going training (in Section C1).
Training outcomes that could require changes to procedures in this operator plan may result
in an immediate review (if necessary) or be considered at the next review.
Page 15
A5 Environmental policy
Mighty Sprite Ltd acknowledges that protection of the marine environment is vital and central
to the on-going success of our business, so and we strive to run the cleanest operation
possible. We do this by following all pollution prevention procedures established in this
operator plan. We will meet or exceed all legal requirements and where possible will use
only environmentally friendly and biodegradable products.
A6 Overdue vessel procedure
If the vessel is overdue or misses a scheduled call in time, the owner’s wife (or nominated
person ashore) will do the following:
1. If more than 15 minutes late, try to contact the vessel by mobile telephone.
2. If there is no answer then, try again in 5 minutes.
3. If there is still no answer, attempt to make contact via other means such as through other
operators known to be in the area, the marina office or harbour master.
4. If there is still no contact with the vessel, call the Coastguard and/or Maritime Radio.
Check with them to see if updates have been made or if the vessel can be contacted via
VHF. If unable to raise the Coastguard or Maritime Radio, go to step 5.
5. If concerns for the safety of the vessel still exist, call 111 and ask for the Police. Advise
them of the situation and follow their instructions.

on board is in doubt, Mighty Sprite Ltd fully supports any decisions made by the skipper with
intent to preserve safety.
The skipper must consider at least the following information when making decisions about
the operation of the vessel:






4.2
current and forecast weather conditions and sea state
visibility
tidal flows (including any changes that could result in wind against tide)
traffic density
the health, mobility and comfort of all persons on board
any other information relevant to the safety of the operation.
Passenger access
Before passengers are permitted to embark or disembark the vessel:





the vessel must be made secure in the most effective way practicable
risks must be assessed including the sea state and movement of the vessel, the
presence of other traffic, the safety of the area being accessed, safe egress from the
drop off point, and other possible hazards including slips and trips
clear instructions must be given
assistance must be offered where required
the action must be abandoned if any concerns for safety are present.

Passenger briefing and standing orders
The skipper has ultimate and overriding authority at all times. Passengers must
follow all instructions given.
Guests must wear lifejackets at all times, unless expressly given permission by the
skipper.
Alcohol consumption must be limited on board, while at sea. Intoxicated people will
not be permitted to come aboard. Passengers must drink sensibly and not become
intoxicated on board.
No smoking on board the vessel.
No sitting on the sides of the vessel while the vessel is moving.
If anyone is feeling ill, they must inform the skipper immediately.
Pollution prevention measures must be followed (as per section 4.9).
Passengers will be briefed about relevant hazards
Do not assist in the operation of the vessel, unless the skipper asks you to do so,
particularly when coming alongside.
Bar crossing
Extreme caution must be exercised when crossing bars. Conditions prevailing on a bar or in
river approaches may cause unusually sudden steep and often breaking seas. Conditions
change quickly and unpredictably. The skipper's experience and the vessel type should be
taken into account when a bar crossing is considered. However, no amount of experience or
boat type makes crossing a bar SAFE when the conditions are marginal or adverse. No
situation warrants taking the risk, so if in doubt “STAY OUT”.
Before leaving harbour the skipper must assess conditions on the bar. The skipper must be
aware that a rapid change in conditions might prevent a safe return to harbour and if in
doubt, should not leave port. Adequate reserve fuel must be available to enable the vessel to
divert to another port or safe haven should adverse bar conditions prevail on their return.
Skippers should be aware that:



all bars have areas of broken water containing air, which can severely reduce the
stability and handling of a vessel
in marginal conditions, night time crossings are more hazardous than day-time
vessels attempting to cross a bar at or near low water are more likely to experience
adverse conditions than at high water.
BEFORE you cross the bar:









check the weather, tide and bar conditions
contact Coastguard or maritime radio immediately prior to crossing
ensure adequate stability
batten down
make sure lifejackets are worn and everyone on board is alert
approach at moderate speed
post a lookout to monitor sea conditions astern
avoid ebb tide
if in doubt – don’t cross
Communicate your successful crossing to Coastguard or Maritime Radio.

Vessel launch and recovery procedures
Trailer launch procedure
1. Check bungs are properly fitted.
2. Make sure the slipway is clear.
3. Check for the presence of marine traffic,
sea state and vessel wakes.
4. Reverse trailer directly into water of
adequate depth.
5. Undo locking cam, then unwind boat into
water.
6. Move vessel to the jetty.
7. Tie up securely to the jetty.
4.7
Trailer recovery procedure
1. Make fast vessel on jetty.
2. Reverse trailer directly into water of
adequate depth.
3. Check for the presence of marine traffic,
sea state and vessel wakes.
4. Drive vessel gently into the trailer guides.
5. Secure cable and haul up.
Trip reporting
The owner’s wife (SAR person ashore) will be informed of all planned operations of the
vessel. This will be done in face-to-face conversation, cell phone call or text message. The
information must be confirmed as received and understood before the vessel departs. All trip
reports made will include:




when the ship is departing and from where
the planned destination or area of operation
the expected time of arrival (ETA) and next communication
the total number of people on board (POB).
Subsequent communications must be made no later than the original planned time and
substantial changes to the vessels plans must be communicated ashore before departing
from the original plan.
The information above may also be provided to the Coastguard or Maritime Radio using
VHF radio if deemed necessary. Changes to planned movements after departure MUST be
notified to the Coastguard or Maritime Radio, should attempts to contact the SAR person
ashore be unsuccessful.
All planned communications must be made at or before the agreed time and all trip reports
to the SAR person ashore and Coastguard or Maritime Radio must be closed when
appropriate.
4.8
Refuelling procedures
The vessel will usually be refuelled at the local petrol station while secured on the trailer. The
following procedure is to be used if refuelling at sea is required. All care must be taken to
avoid any accidental discharge. All equipment used must be appropriate and fit for purpose.
1. Make sure the vessel is securely berthed alongside the refuelling pontoon/wharf before
turning off engine.
2. No smoking, or any other source of ignition is to be allowed on or near the vessel.
3. Use absorbent material at the refuelling point to absorb any fuel spillage.
4. The person carrying out refuelling must keep control of the refuelling nozzle (or tote tank)
at all times. The refuelling nozzle must NEVER be left unattended.
Page 25
5. Make sure the nozzle is placed securely back in the bowser housing and that the bowser
pump has switched off (or the tote tank is properly sealed and secured)
6. If a spill occurs, follow the pollution control flow diagram (in Section B5).
7. Make sure the fuel filler caps are securely re-fastened when the refuelling operation has
been completed.
4.9


Pollution prevention measures
All garbage must be placed in the garbage bag kept in the wheelhouse.
No rubbish will be left on deck, in case it blows into the water.
All garbage will be taken ashore by the skipper at the end of the day.
No garbage is to be thrown overboard.
Sewage will not be discharged:
 within 500 metres from land (mean high water spring)
 in water less than 5 metres deep
 within 500 metres from a marine farm or mataita (traditional food collection) reserve
 within 200 metres of a marine reserve.
Should it not be possible to discharge sewage at sea, arrangements will be made to have it
removed and disposed of properly ashore.
Page 26
4.10 Radio communications
All crew must have basic knowledge of operation of the vessel’s VHF radio. Detailed
information is in the Radio Handbook that is carried on board at all times.
Key information is provided below.






Turn the radio on, adjust the volume and squelch, and select a channel.
Listen. Others may be using the channel for messages more urgent than your own.
Think. Prepare what you are going to say before you transmit, and keep your
message brief.
When not transmitting, make sure you do not hold down the transmit switch (Push to
Talk or PTT). If this switch is jammed or held down by mistake, it prevents any other
person from transmitting any messages on your selected frequency or channel, and
your radio cannot receive.
Speak simply and clearly, using the correct words.
Avoid using local names, terms and jargon, which will cause confusion.
Stow the microphone properly at all times when not in use to avoid accidental
transmission.
A RADIO DISTRESS CALLING procedure sticker is placed near the VHF radio.
