MANDARIN VERSIONS The American P&I Club is pleased to announce that the publication Heavy Weather - All hands on deck? is now available in both new and traditional Mandarin. This guidance serves as a reminder that all vessels navigating in open waters should carefully assess the risks before sending crew members out on deck during heavy weather. It highlights key considerations for risk evaluation, planning, and Master approval before any deck work is undertaken—whether to secure cargo, address loose gear, or ensure the integrity of watertight doors and hatches. Members should take note of this information and be guided accordingly.
