Emergency Procedures

In this course, we will introduce you to the philosophy, processes, and procedures required to support a marine casualty investigation.

In this course, Crowd Management, you will get crucial information on how to handle crowds and people during crises and emergencies. Traveling with several hundred, closer to a few thousand passengers, and being responsible for their lives is just a regular day within the shipping industry.

Alternative-fueled vehicles (AFV) represent different types of hazards compared with vehicles with traditional fuel such as gasoline and diesel with internal combustion engines. Do our usual methods, equipment, and training work, or do we need to do something more to be safe?

Man Overboard is one of the various emergencies that can occur onboard ships, and like every other emergency, a man overboard requires immediate and precise intervention. To ensure that action is taken without delay in such an event, every crew member onboard is trained in man overboard procedures and drilled on their specific duties at regular intervals as required by SOLAS. The correct and timely application of the procedures to be followed will in return increase the probability of a successful recovery and decrease the probability of casualty.

A free-floating mechanism for liferafts is defined by SOLAS as a must-have onboard and will, if correctly installed, release a vessel's life rafts in the event a ship would go under before a controlled evacuation was possible.
The Hammar H20 Hydrostatic Release Unit is a free-floating mechanism for liferafts with more than 35 years of proven track record.

This incident is based on the experiences of the UK P&I Club. Accidents like the one in this course can and do happen. As you go through this course, ask yourself, "Could this happen on my ship?"

In this training, you will come on board a fully loaded bulk carrier, proceeding at full sea speed in conditions of heavy weather. While performing this training, ask yourself: - Could this happen to me?

It is key to learn from accidents that have occurred to be able to succeed in shipping. This incident is based on the experiences of the UK P&I Club. Accidents like the one in this course can and do happen. As you go through this course, ask yourself, "Could this happen on my ship?"

The International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS) came into force in 2004 as an amendment to the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention. It highlights requirements on maritime security including, minimum security arrangements for ships, ports facilities, and government agencies. It specifies the responsibilities of governments, shipping companies, shipboard personnel, and port facility personnel to detect security threats and take preventive measures against security incidents affecting ships or port facilities.

The International Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) mandates that chemical manufacturers must communicate a chemical’s hazard information to chemical handlers by providing a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). MSDSs typically contain chemical properties, health, and environmental hazards, protective measures, as well as safety precautions for storing, handling, and transporting chemicals.

The GMDSS network is a vital piece of equipment on board vessels for all seafarers whether it is professional or recreational. The system put in place allows us to connect with emergency services and rescue centres all around the world, preventing thousands of deaths since its inception.

Watertight doors are an integral component of any vessel. This course will give you a greater understanding and respect of these 'moving walls/bulkheads'.
