The Navy's Operational Command (MAS-Maritime Assistance Service) collaboration with the master of a ship in need of assistance
MAS is an integral part of the Navy's operational command and works on a 24-hour basis as a central maritime contact point for shipping in and around Danish waters. It is the Danish MAS, which must authorize/decline a place of refuge and be the point of contact for ships in need of assistance.
For the evaluation of which place of refuge, which will be most suitable for such a ship, have a need for information about the ship's situation MAS, weather conditions as well as the concerned nødområdes status. Here be on whether the area can receive ships with a potential risk of pollution (already have leakage) or exclusively used for ships without polluting potential (minor repairs).
The following information is relevant for assessment:
– The ship's identity (name, call sign, IMO number, etc.)
– The ship's position.
– Ship's dimensional limitations, such as length, width, depth and time, seaworthiness of the ship, in particular buoyancy, stability.
– The extent of the accident (URf.eks. bias, hole in the hull, ingress of water, leakage).
– Means of Propulsion and power generation, bow thruster/sternthruster. EVS. limitations on machinery p.g.a. accident.
– Ship's steering characteristics after possibly. accident.
– State, quantity and nature of the cargo, particularly dangerous goods (UN number, quantity requested here as well as the location of dangerous goods stated).
– Distance and estimated transit time for nødområdet.
– The amount of oil on board as well as the location of this oil.
– The safety of its occupants, including the number of personnel and/or bjærgere and other personnel serving on board as well as an assessment of human factors (URf.eks. fatigue/exhaustion).
– Possible contamination (or potential pollution) caused by the ship; including in transit area/access road close to nødområdet or in adjacent areas, which may be threatened by pollution from the incoming ship in need of assistance.
– Threats to public security, including what the closest distance is to the larger population concentrations.
– The relevant ship insurance conditions.
– If the ship is insured, localized name, and the limit of coverage.
– Agreement between the master and the ship's owner/operator concerning the MAS'ens proposal to continue or sail to the place of refuge.
– The provision of any guarantee in relation to the ports which have been designated as a place of refuge.
– Information about EVS. commercial salvage contract.
– Information on masters and/or bjærgers plans.
Master of a ship pursuant to executive order on reporting pursuant to the law on the protection of the marine environment is a duty to inform the Navy's operational command (MAS) on accidents or other incidents as well as the circumstances of the case. The master also has a duty to provide supplementary information, which helps to give the authority a general overview of the situation. In addition, the master shall generally inform the Navy's operational command (MAS) if seen polluting spillages at sea level.
In addition, the following information is relevant to the master to inform to the MAS:
– What kind of assistance, if any, is required.
– Whether or not you want to reference to the place of refuge.
The master should cooperate with any salvage vessels.
The master shall cooperate with the competent authorities, with the aim to reduce the consequences of an accident or incident.
The master shall uncover need for assistance across from the Navy's operational command (MAS), inter alia. by carrying out a risk assessment, that contains the items as specified on MAS.
