Chief mate Togonon taught us on what to do if there is a man fell overboard while the vessel is underway. First, when you saw a man fell overboard, shout loudly man overboard then specify where side. Then the Officer on watch will tell the helmsman to steer the vessel to the side where the man fell overboard. This will keep the man overboard stay away from the propeller. After steering, decide what turns to be made. There are three types of turns to be followed in different cases. These are the Single turn, Williamson turn and the schamor turn. Hoist flag and sound distress signal to inform the other vessel that you have a man fell overboard and inform them to clear the specified area. And then save the man that is fall overboard.Falling overboard can be prevented. Just follow instruction and stop horseplay.
