MUSCAT: The centre stressed the importance of following the boat operator’s instructions and avoiding sudden movements or shifting between the sides of the vessel while it is underway.
Passengers are advised to remain in safe and fixed positions inside the boat when waves are high and to avoid sitting on the edge or at the bow while sailing.
The Maritime Security Centre also called for passengers to be distributed evenly across the boat to prevent weight from gathering on one side, which could affect the vessel’s stability.
Passengers should also avoid standing while the boat is moving, particularly when travelling at high speeds, as sudden movements or changes in balance can increase the risk of accidents.
