Barca ia apă: ce faci dacă are o spărtură sau se scufundă

Ultima verificare: 14 octombrie 2026

Pas cu pas

1. Veste de salvare, dă alarma

   Asigură-te că toată lumea poartă vestă de salvare și dă alarma.[1][2]

2. Cere ajutor din timp

   Dacă te scufunzi, transmite MAYDAY. Dacă spărtura e sub control, dar se poate agrava, transmite PAN-PAN ca salvatorii să afle din timp.[3][4][5][6]

3. Găsește spărtura

   Dacă e sigur, găsește pe unde intră apa. Verifică dopurile de scurgere și trecerile prin corp aflate sub linia de plutire.[7][8][9]

4. Astup-o sau închide-o

   Încearcă să astupi gaura cu materialele pe care le ai la bord pentru spărturi în corp. Dacă apa intră pe la o trecere prin corp cu robinet, închide robinetul.[7][10][9]

5. Pompează și scoate apa

   Pornește pompa de santină și scoate apa cu un ispol sau o găleată. Nu te opri.[11][12][13][14]

6. Mergi spre un loc sigur dacă poți

   Dacă barca se mai poate deplasa în siguranță, îndreaptă-te spre cel mai apropiat port sau țărm de care te poți apropia în siguranță.[15]

7. Pregătește-te să abandonezi

   Înainte să părăsești barca, transmite un apel de pericol, păstrează vesta de salvare pe tine și nu te dezbrăca: dacă ai timp, îmbracă-te mai gros. Ține baliza pregătită.[16][17]

8. Dacă ajungi în apă

   Activează EPIRB-ul sau PLB-ul. Rămâi lângă barcă cât timp plutește și urcă pe ea cât mai mult din corp. Strângeți-vă unii în alții ca să vă păstrați căldura și să fiți vizibili.[18][19][20][21]

Ce să nu faci

• Nu te dezbrăca. Dacă ai timp, îmbracă-te mai gros.[16]
• Nu părăsi barca cât timp încă plutește. Lângă ea ești mult mai ușor de găsit.[18][19]
• Nu aștepta până când barca e pe punctul de a se scufunda ca să chemi ajutor. Anunțul din timp poate fi decisiv.[6]

Înainte să ieși pe apă

• Înainte de lansarea la apă: verifică dacă dopurile de scurgere sunt puse.[8]
• Verifică santina înainte de fiecare ieșire.[22]
• Ia unelte și materiale pentru repararea spărturilor în corp.[10]
• Află pe ce deschideri ale bărcii poate intra apă și cum se închid.[23]
• Ține vestele de salvare și echipamentul de siguranță la îndemână și ia în calcul să ai un EPIRB la bord.[24][17]
