Towing Arrangements

  15 The towing arrangements and procedures should be such as to reduce to a minimum any danger to personnel during the towing operation.

  16 The towing arrangements should be suitable for the particular tow and of adequate strength.

  17 The design and arrangement of towing fittings should take into account both normal and emergency conditions.

  18 Sufficient spare equipment to completely re-make the towing arrangements should be available, unless impractical.

  19 Secondary or emergency towing arrangements should be fitted on board the tow so as to be readily recoverable by the towing ship in the event of a failure of the main towing system or ancillary equipment.
