1. All students must move clear of the port side deck.
2. Notify the bridge immediately.
3. Only the pot hauler operator and assisting crew may be allowed in the immediate
vicinity until the line is clear of the obstruction.
In the event of the main line or pots becoming fast to the sea bed the line will be cut and
the vessel will move to the 2 nd set of floats and commence hauling operations.
Maintenance
Due to the extreme forces that the crab line and associated equipment experiences,
components are subject to considerable wear and a constant evaluation and appraisal of
all terminal tackle must be carried out during shooting and hauling operations.
Any faulty components must be replaced immediately before any further fishing takes
place.
