The single turn method of returning to a man overboard should be used ONLY if which condition exists?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Man Overboard Recovery Maneuvers (single turn/Anderson, Williamson, Scharnow) and when each is preferred • Effect of vessel maneuverability and responsiveness on choice of MOB recovery method • Importance of immediate visual contact with the person in the water

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is the single turn/Anderson turn designed for a situation where the person is continuously in sight, or where they may be out of sight for some time? • Which option best matches the condition that makes a quick, tight recovery turn both effective and safe? • For each choice, imagine the timeline: person falls, is (or isn’t) seen, and the ship begins maneuvering. In which case does a single, rapid turn make the most sense?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which MOB maneuver is recommended for immediate sighting versus man missing / last known position situations • Check which answer choice directly relates to the ship’s handling characteristics rather than crew experience or use of a boat • Confirm that the chosen condition allows the bridge team to keep the MOB in visual contact during the whole maneuver
