Kvartalsvis Orientering 1/2009Quaterly Information 1/2009AnbefalingerDet anbefales HELGOLANDs ejer og reder,• at der udarbejdes risikovurderinger for arbejdsprocesserne om bord i forbindelsemed udsætning og bjærgning af grej, således at de bliver sikre under alleforhold, f.eks. ved at anvende arbejdsveste / livline under arbejde på dækket undervisse vejrforhold og evt. ved at forhøje søgelænderet, samt• at der anskaffes egnet udstyr til bjærgning af en overbordfalden, og at besætningenøves i brug af dette udstyr. I denne forbindelse kan hentes inspiration ipublikationen Rapport om bjergning af overbordfaldne fra fiskeskibe fra FiskerietsArbejdsmiljøråd, se www.f-a.dk under publikationer.HELGOLAND – Fall overboard on 16 November 2008SummaryHELGOLAND sailed from Thyborøn on 13 November at 1330 to fish in the Norwegianzone of the North Sea. There was a 5 men crew on board.In the morning on 16 November the seine was shot using the fly-shooting method.From the forecastle two fishermen caught the buoy-line with the three buoys (gajer)using a grapnel. The one fisherman held the buoy-line and was hauling it on board inorder that the other fisherman could connect the in-hauler to the buoy-line.When approximately 10m of the buoy-line was hauled on board, the fisherman, whoheld the buoy-line, was suddenly pulled over board above the railing on the forecastle.He continued to hold on to the buoy-line, and the other fisherman took hold in the partof the line, which was lying on the forecastle and kept it tight. The fallen overboardfisherman, however, quickly let go the buoy-line, but there after he succeeded in enteringa life buoy, which from the vessel was placed in the sea close to him. Shortly after,however, he again slipped out of the life buoy, and the other fishermen did not succeedto haul him on board before he disappeared.There was a hard breeze from NW and 5 – 7m high waves.Alarm was raised, and the Norwegian salvage service quickly launched a search. Thefisherman fallen overboard was, however, not found, and the search was abandoned atapproximately 1700.ConclusionThe fall overboard was caused by an unexpected drive in the buoy-line, while the fishermanheld the line. It is not possible with certainty to establish the cause to this drive,or why the fisherman did not let go the line, when the drive occurred. (6.1)6
