  • 2.2 Effect of severe wind and rolling in associated sea conditions on vessel weather tight and watertight integrity is recognised
  • 2.3 Effect of water on deck on vessel weather tight and watertight integrity is ascertained
  • 2.4 Appropriate action is taken to maintain vessel weather tight and watertight integrity according to organisational procedures
3 Maintain records
