The Ship–Shore Interface and Gangway Duty
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
This is a knowledge course. It is not ISPS Code training and is not recognised by any port or maritime authority.
A cargo ship has just tied up at Berth 3. Soon people arrive. Two crew members want to go to town. A van brings food. An engineer has come to repair a pump. A man with a camera says the captain is his cousin.
Your post is on the quay, at the foot of the gangway. You are the last check on shore before the ship.
Focus: know who is expected, check each person and each delivery against that, write it down, and call the ship or your control room when something does not fit.
Learning objectives
- Say what the ship–shore interface is and why it needs a watch.
- Name who is in charge on the ship and on shore.
- Run a shore-side gangway watch: check, confirm, record.
- Handle a delivery of ship's stores.
- Report other ways onto a ship.
