Vdor vode: kaj storiti, če vaš čoln pušča ali tone

Nazadnje preverjeno: 14. oktober 2026

Korak za korakom

1. Reševalni jopiči, sprožite alarm

   Prepričajte se, da vsi nosijo reševalni jopič, in sprožite alarm.[1][2]

2. Pokličite pomoč zgodaj

   Če tonete, pošljite MAYDAY. Če je puščanje pod nadzorom, a bi se lahko poslabšalo, pošljite PAN-PAN, da reševalci izvedo zgodaj.[3][4][5][6]

3. Poiščite luknjo

   Če je varno, poiščite, kje vdira voda. Preverite izpustne čepe in prehode skozi trup pod vodno črto.[7][8][9]

4. Zamašite ali zaprite

   Poskusite luknjo zamašiti z materialom, ki ga imate za puščanje trupa. Če voda vdira skozi prehod skozi trup z ventilom, zaprite ventil.[7][10][9]

5. Črpajte in zajemajte

   Vklopite črpalko za kalužo in zajemajte vodo z zajemalko ali vedrom. Ne nehajte.[11][12][13][14]

6. Plujte proti varnemu, če lahko

   Če se plovilo še lahko varno premika, plujte proti najbližjemu pristanišču ali obali, ki se ji je varno približati.[15]

7. Pripravite se na zapustitev

   Preden zapustite plovilo, pošljite klic v stiski, ne slecite reševalnega jopiča in ne slačite oblačil: če imate čas, oblecite še več. Imejte oddajnik pripravljen.[16][17]

8. Če pristanete v vodi

   Vklopite EPIRB ali PLB. Ostanite ob plovilu, dokler plava, in spravite čim večji del telesa nanj. Stisnite se skupaj, da ostanete topli in vidni.[18][19][20][21]

Ne

• Ne slačite oblačil. Če imate čas, oblecite še več.[16]
• Ne zapuščajte plovila, dokler še plava. Ob njem vas je veliko laže najti.[18][19]
• S klicem ne čakajte, dokler plovilo že skoraj ne potone. Zgodnje obvestilo je lahko ključno.[6]

Pred izplutjem

• Pred splavitvijo: preverite, ali so izpustni čepi na mestu.[8]
• Pred vsako plovbo preverite kalužo.[22]
• Imejte orodje in material za popravilo puščanja trupa.[10]
• Vedite, skozi katere odprtine na vašem plovilu lahko vdre voda in kako jih zapreti.[23]
• Reševalne jopiče in varnostno opremo imejte na dosegu roke in razmislite o EPIRB.[24][17]
