CHIRP is pleased to publish Maritime FEEDBACK issue number 62. The editorial for this issue focuses upon a damaged bow of a vessel with a reporter querying whether it is safe to continue the voyage or whether the crew should attempt to make temporary repairs. This issue of FEEDBACK also highlights a report related to a crew member working from a stage where some aspects were positively dangerous. This is followed by a discussion about the benefits of simulator training, and the extent to which it should be utilised in lieu of sea time. We consider an interesting case involving Rule 10 of the collision regulations, and suggest our readers consider situations from the point of view of the other ships in the area. We also have two reports which were forwarded by ISWAN, and they are a sobering reminder that not all ships are run as we would like them to be run. Engine failure to start at a critical point of a vessels departure is also highlighted in a report. We continue to receive many pilot boarding related issues and whilst this continues, we will continue to publish articles in the "Pilots Corner" of the magazine. As always we hope that you enjoy this edition of FEEDBACK, we remain extremely grateful to all of of our reporters, and we welcome any comment with respect to the content. Stay safe everybody.......
