Still water glass smooth setting sun on the waters edge boats rocking gentle rope slack lazy days currents and slight breeze,
photo, recreate the atmosphere of boats floating in the harbour alongside the local residences and restaurant. During the day the simple but sturdy boats were tightly packed in the harbour. Most, if not all, navigable rivers, channels, ports, harbours and berths are subject to danger from, for example, tides, currents, swells, banks, bars or revetments, traffic density and changes in depths. Such dangers are frequently minimised by lights, buoys, signals, warnings and other aids to navigation and can normally be met and overcome by proper navigation and the handling of a vessel in accordance with good seamanship. The reputation of a Port is largely dependent on its safety record and efficiency. Any damage to a port’s safety record may impact on its reputation and by extension, its trade. The Harbour Master plays a key role in the development and implementation of a safety management system which manages the hazards and risks associated with port operations along with any preparations for emergencies. This should be operated effectively and revised periodically.
