Tender launch and recovery can feel routine, but it depends on disciplined checks, clear roles and confident communication to stay safe. This card gives crews and vessel leaders a practical guide to preparing equipment, confirming responsibilities, briefing the team, carrying out launch and recovery safely, and reviewing the operation afterwards so standards keep improving. Read it with your team, use it to strengthen onboard procedures and briefings.
Remember, you always have the right to put your own safety and the safety of others first.
If it looks unsafe, stop. Small actions can prevent great harm.
If you have concerns or want to share lessons learned you can do that confidentially through CHIRP, so others can benefit too.
