Drills: Preparing for On-Board Emergencies

Heightened concerns about shipboard security have made well-trained, well-drilled officers and crews more important than ever. The anxiety and confusion of an emergency can cause panic, mistakes, and misunderstanding. A well-drilled ship's company can avoid these mistakes. Emergency procedures and communication saves lives.

Topics:

• The four key components of shipboard drills
• Setting the most realistic scenarios for your drills
• The importance of debriefing after your drills

"Drills: Preparing for On-Board Emergencies is an excellent addition to the training library on our ships. It helps them better prepare for and benefit from the drills they conduct."
