Discrepancy between charted depth on ENC and local depth information at Santos, Ageo Berth Last edited : 6-12-20
Vessel to transit Piacaguera Channel, Santos. Arrival Draft- 10.8 m (BW) EK . AS per ENC,
minimum depth available near berth is 11.10 m. ZOC A1 is - 0.62 . As per Local agent Revision deadline : 31-1-21
information maximum safe draft for Ageo Terminal is 12.2 m .
Type : Ship

Approved : Yes

Risk matrix format : Matrix 6x6 adv

Ship name : Nord Skate

RISK 1 : SHIP - VESSEL CAN RUN IN TO DANGER OF GROUNDING IF THE DEPTH SHOWN BY ENC IS CORRECT .I.E., 11.1M NEAR BERTH

RISK RISK AFTER:

MEDIUM RISK 12 LOW RISK 6

BEFORE:

Action plan Preventive measures/Personal protection

Instruction
It is very important to asses the depth information of planned route
prior proceeding in such areas with inadequate chart information
Agent notified and asked for confirmation about minimum depth
available in the channel and maximum draft allowed to transit.
As per agent - max allowed draft in ship channel is 12.2m/40ft and
Berth is 12.2m/40ft

Refer to eNP, DNV navigator program and all available

publications for better understanding

RISK 2 : SHIP - SAFETY DEPTH ALARM, SAFETY CONTOUR, SHALLOW CONTOUR ETC. ARE NOT RELIABLE IF THE DEPTH INFORMATION BY
LOCAL AUTHORITY IS CORRECT

RISK RISK AFTER:

BEFORE: MEDIUM RISK 8 LOW RISK 3

Action plan Preventive measures/Personal protection

Instruction
Use of other means of monitoring to be given more importance.
Continuous monitoring using Echo Sounder to be done to confirm
ECDIS giving safety depth alarm basis of depth from ENC. As per if any visual navigational hazards is observed.
local authority ENC depths are incorrect. Safety contour, shallow
contour, Deep contour are generated on the basis of ENC depth
contours.

RISK 3 : SHIP - DISCREPANCY BETWEEN CHARTED DEPTH AND LOCAL INFORMATION CAN CREATE CONFUSION TO THE BRIDGE TEAM FOR
DECIDING SAFE AND UNSAFE WATER

RISK RISK AFTER:

BEFORE: MEDIUM RISK 9 LOW RISK 3

Action plan Preventive measures/Personal protection

Instruction
Navigating officers should monitor the vessel movement with pre-
agreed means and ensure safe and efficient monitoring.
ECDIS is the one of the main monitoring aid of navigation. Depth During master/pilot information exchange re-confirmation for
information of the ENC is unreliable available depths/draft to be obtained.

Risk Legends

1-6

Low risk

May be acceptable; however, review task to see if risk can be reduced further.

7 - 17

Medium risk

Task should only proceed with appropriate authorisation by shore management. Where possible, the task should be redefined to take account of the

hazards involved or the risk should be reduced further prior to task commencement. Approval from Head of Technical Department or 2 VGM or 1 VGM &

DPA

18 - 36

High risk

Task must not proceed. It should be redefined or further control measures put in place to reduce risk. The controls should be re-assessed for adequacy

prior to task commencement.
