Antecedentes
1 La edición de 2019 del volumen III del Manual IAMSAR incluye información sobre
cuatro maniobras normales de recuperación: el giro Williamson, el giro único o giro Anderson,
el giro Scharnov y el giro Lorén. Las tres primeras maniobras tienen por objeto ayudar a la
tripulación del buque a volver al rumbo de búsqueda en caso de hombre al agua a fin de

encontrar a la persona en el agua. El giro Lorén tiene por objeto calmar la superficie del mar
en la que se va a realizar la recuperación.
3 Alemania propone añadir esta maniobra a las que ya figuran en el volumen III.
Análisis
7 Esta maniobra de aproximación, que aprovecha el efecto de deriva del buque que
ocasionan el viento y las olas, es independiente de las características de maniobrabilidad del
buque. Se recomienda a los capitanes de buque que realicen algunos ejercicios para
familiarizarse con la maniobra, la cual se ilustra en los pasos 1 a 5 del anexo.

ANNEX
• Muehr Manoeuvre
— this manoeuvre does also provide a good base (casualty leeward and amidships,
vessel stopped) for deploying hoisting equipment which may be available for
recovery of people from sea. It is an appropriate approach manoeuvre supporting
requirements resulting from SOLAS regulation III/17-1 and MSC.1/Circ.1182, as
amended.
1 Vessel is steering into a course head on to wind and sea, keeping the casualty
position slightly on the portside. *
2 The vessel is now slowly reducing speed, maintaining manoeuvrability at all times.
3 At this position, the speed is already down to ʺminimum still steeringʺ. Once the:
- casualty is abeam of the port side shoulder, the rudder is set hard to port;
- Directly thereafter, an astern manoeuvre must follow, until the vesselʹs headway
is stopped.
4 Keeping the bow thruster pushing to the port side will support the tendency to turn
and lay by to the wind. If the casualty position is now too far leeward, kicking the engine ahead
with hard a starboard rudder and using the tendency of the stern to move sideways to port
when going astern again, will support together with the still pushing bow thruster the
leeward drifting.
5 Once the vessel starts to shelter the casualty position against the wind;
- Depending on the size, surface area, draft and wind speed, the vessel will now
provide a loofward protection zone against incoming waves and a leeward
upstream of water, which pushes the casualty away from the shipʹs side, keeping
it permanently at a safe distance of 1-3 m.
*
Vessels with no bow thruster and right-handed fixed propeller will most likely prefer the casualty to be
positioned on the starboard side.

- If the casualty is coming closer to the hull, engine manoeuvres should be carried
out with caution in order not to push away or harm the person concerned by the
propeller or overhanging stern. The casualty position should be always kept
amidships.
Caution:
Wi nd
the area exposed to wind by superstructure and
cargo or in ships with aft superstructures. A vessel
with the centre of windage forward of the centre
of gravity (forward superstructure) which is
stopped beam to the wind encounters a force
caused by the wind, which causes the vessel to
fall off and to bear away from the wind. As a result 4)
the centre of the windage and of the
hydrodynamic pressure starts to move and
creates an unfavourable drifting heading of the
vessel.
