3.6 P /
ASSENGER LOCATIONS AND EMBARKING DISEMBARKING
Ask passengers to be seated while the boat is moving, and to hold on to handrails both
when seated and when embarking/disembarking. Passenger seats are located at the stern
(stern sofa), and in front of the consoles and at the bow (below the elevated deck, which
shall not be used as a seat). Boats of the model DC and CC have additional separate
chairs for the navigator and operator. See chapter 7, figure 2).
Do not use the bow cockpit (area in front of consoles) when operating the boat at
higher speeds than 10 knots, or in high wave conditions. Sudden and heavy boat
movements can cause injuries to the passengers. Always adopt the speed to the
conditions and ask passengers if they are comfortable.
The safest and recommended point of embarking/disembarking is the bow. The elevated
bow deck is covered by anti-slip patterns and there are handrails to hold on to.
When moored steadily alongside a jetty, passengers may also use the SB and PS stern
storages as a step area.
Be very careful as boat surfaces are narrow and may be slippery when surfaces, shoes or
feet are wet or dirty. Be aware of that the boat may move due to shift of weight and
waves. Make sure the distance to the jetty is short enough and the boat cannot move
away from the jetty. Hold on tight to boat handrails and firm objects on the jetty and/or
ask for support from fellow passengers.
