Čovjek u moru: što učiniti

Posljednja provjera: 14. listopada 2026.

Korak po korak

1. Vičite i pokazujte

   Viknite „Čovjek u moru!” da svi na plovilu znaju. Jednoj osobi dajte jedini zadatak da pokazuje na osobu u vodi i nikad ne skrene pogled.[1][2][3][4]

2. Bacite nešto što pluta

   Bacite kolut za spašavanje, uže za bacanje ili prsluk za spašavanje što bliže osobi. Pomaže joj da ostane na površini i označava gdje je.[5][6]

3. Pritisnite MOB

   Pritisnite gumb MOB na kartografskom ploteru ili GPS-u da označite poziciju na kojoj je osoba pala u vodu.[5]

4. Pošaljite MAYDAY

   Pritisnite i držite DSC gumb za pomoć, zatim uputite poziv MAYDAY na VHF kanalu 16. Recite da je osoba pala u more, navedite poziciju i koliko je ljudi na plovilu.[7][8][9][10]

5. Usporite i vratite se

   Usporite, zaustavite se ako možete i vratite se čim budete u mogućnosti. Cijelo vrijeme pratite osobu pogledom.[11][12][13]

6. Odaberite način povratka

   Transport Canada opisuje dva okreta za motorna plovila: Andersonov (jednostruki) okret, najbrži, za mirnu vodu i dobru vidljivost, i Williamsonov okret, kad ste kasno reagirali ili je vidljivost slaba. Plovite polako i držite propeler daleko od osobe.[14][15][16]

7. Priđite bokom u leru

   Zaustavite se bokom uz osobu s motorom u leru. Transport Canada savjetuje da plovilo dovedete u privjetrinu od nje i izvučete je na privjetrinskoj strani.[17][18]

8. Vratite je na plovilo

   Privucite osobu do plovila plutajućim užetom ili kolutom za spašavanje vezanim za plovilo. Za izvlačenje upotrijebite ljestve ili omču za podizanje. Ne skačite u vodu za njom.[18][19][20]

9. Ugrijte je i potražite liječničku pomoć

   Svatko izvučen iz hladne vode može imati hipotermiju, koja je hitno medicinsko stanje. Sklonite osobu u zaklon, skinite mokru odjeću i umotajte je, pokrivajući i glavu, te obavijestite službu za spašavanje.[21][22]

Nemojte

• Ne skačite u vodu za osobom. Bacite nešto što pluta i djelujte s plovila.[20][6]
• Ne skidajte pogled s osobe. Lako je izgubiti iz vida nekoga u vodi.[13]
• Ne prilazite s propelerom koji se okreće. Stavite motor u ler kad ste bokom uz osobu.[12][17]
• Ne grijte pothlađenu osobu vrućom kupkom ili termoforom i ne trljajte joj ruke i noge.[23]

Prije isplovljavanja

• Prije isplovljavanja: upoznajte posadu s postupkom kod pada čovjeka u more i načinom pozivanja pomoći te odredite zamjenika koji može upravljati plovilom i koristiti radio.[24]
• Nosite prsluk za spašavanje. Po lošem vremenu razmislite o pojasu i sigurnosnom užetu pričvršćenom za plovilo.[25][26]
• Ako vaše plovilo ima sigurnosnu uzicu za gašenje motora (kill cord), provjerite radi li prije polaska.[27]
• Isplanirajte kako biste nekoga vratili na plovilo, primjerice ljestvama ili omčom za podizanje.[28][19]
