Safety at Sea
Safety at Sea: One day course - €100
Sat. Mar. 28 (1030-1700)
This course will include a session on how to properly brief a crew and carry out safety checks before going afloat. Whilst the emphasis is on the prevention of accidents including MOB Ð we must know how to react if something goes wrong. The session afloat will concentrate on recovery of MOB and getting personnel aboard from the water. A set of briefing notes for skippers will follow but it is important that each crew have worked out a mechanism for recovery of personnel form the water.

Underwater cable Aghada to Cuskinny
One Thursday evening at the very start of February a group of seafarers decended on my local, “The Roaring Donkey”, in Cobh and lashed into copious quantities of gin and tonic. As the conversations began to flow it transpired that they were the crew of the Norwegian vessel, “Elektron”, docked at Cork Dockyard in Rushbrooke. Not just any ordinary ship but a specialist vessel for cable laying – she was here to lay the cable from Aghada Power Station to Cuskinny on the Great Island in Cork Harbour.
