Dalian Shipyard tells you about the preparations before a ship sets sail
Before departure, the captain shall fulfill the following duties: Upon receiving sailing orders, immediately announce the departure time, notify crew members to return to the ship on time, and prepare sufficient fuel, materials, and ship's supplies. Check if the crew's certificates are complete and valid. If there are temporary substitutes, the necessary procedures should be completed. For watchkeeping personnel, a detailed introduction to the ship's equipment and operating performance should be given, and work should be arranged. Check the seaworthiness certificates and other relevant documents of the ship and any attached barges. Check the port entry and exit visa procedures. If dangerous goods are being carried, ensure the dangerous goods transport permit is in order. Check the ship's and any attached barges' navigational instruments, operating machinery, tools, and towing equipment.
