Evaluate South Port’s pilot/tug master training programme including the use of the simulator to determine the most efficient method of ensuring that all staff are suitably equipped to respond to any operational eventuality. Emphasis should be given to instituting a training programme in instrument only navigation techniques for all South Port pilots, in line with that prescribed in the pilot/tug master training manual.

South Port continues to attach high importance to maintaining a safe and effective maritime operation, and to changing its procedures when that appears appropriate.
The Company has commissioned a comprehensive risk assessment for its marine operation, which is scheduled to be completed in late June 2003. When the report on that assessment is received, South Port will review all current information which has a bearing on the safety of its marine operation, including the Commission’s findings, with a view to making any appropriate changes.
