Abstract

When vessel's commanders receive assistance from tugboats on entering and leaving a berth, they use the agreed communication phrases, body language, hand gestures, and so on in each pilot district. In Japan, the agreed communication phrases named "The Settled Term of Maneuvering Orders for Towage Work" are defined by the Japan Harbor Tug Owners' Association. However, the results of the current state survey, which was executed by authors' group in 2010, showed that various kinds of "Non-standard" tug orders were actually used. The findings from the results also suggested that, when vessel's commanders used "Non-standard orders" including in the above-mentioned "The Settled Term," there were some gaps in perception between the vessel's commanders and the tugboat's commanders. These results reasonably lead to the conclusions that some definitely-agreed Maneuvering Orders are essential.
