INTRODUCTION
SOLAS (as amended) sets out in detail the requirements for the provision of training aids, the equipment of life-saving appliances, and the procedures for their handling and launching.
In addition, SOLAS details the requirements for muster lists, meetings and drills, and provides on-board training and instruction in the use of life-saving appliances.
All crew members must participate in abandoned ship and fire drills for periods not exceeding one month. Opportunities to participate during exercise times should be taken to ensure that all personnel can participate.
The Master is responsible for compiling and updating the List of Members and for ensuring that copies are displayed in conspicuous places throughout the ship, including the navigation bridge, engine room and crew quarters.
The captain is responsible for programming mandatory drills and for additional drills that may be required as part of the ship's emergency preparedness and training program.
The list of participants must contain details of the general emergency signal and other emergency signals, as well as the actions to be taken by the crew. The means by which the order to abandon ship will be given must also be included.
The list of assemblers must indicate the duties that each member of the ship's crew (work on chemical tankers) must perform in an emergency. Such duties include preparing and loosening life-saving appliances, closing watertight and fire doors and all other openings such as skylights, portholes and side hatches, and any openings in the hull. Responsibilities in connection with fire-fighting, use of communications, equipment of life-saving appliances and actions to be taken by all crew members in the event of a major accident, especially where there is a threat of pollution.
The rescue vessel or launch station to which each crew member is assigned must be listed on the Muster List.
The Collection List shall indicate the name or rank of the officials whose duty it is to ensure that life-saving and fire-fighting apparatus are maintained in such condition that they are always ready for use.
All members of the ship's crew must appear on the List of Meetings. This includes non-staff materials such as machinists, wives and children. Since these people do not have the necessary qualifications or training, they should not be assigned responsibilities within the Emergency Ship Organization (chemical tanker work).
Refuse ship exercises
Abandoned ship training consists of crew mustering at stations specified in the Muster List and mustering and drills at life-saving equipment stations.
Drills for emergencies other than fire, such as collision, damage control, grounding, cargo oil/bin leak, personnel rescue, or medical assistance, may be conducted in lieu of or in addition to fire drill. Whether a fire or other emergency drill is being conducted, it may be helpful to discuss the subject and execution of the drill in advance with those directly involved in the drill so that those taking part can get the most out of the drill.
Each crew member must participate in at least one abandon ship drill, one fire drill and one pollution control drill every month. These drills must be conducted within 24 hours of leaving port if more than 25% of the crew members did not participate in shipboard exercises in the previous month. If circumstances are such that it is not practical to conduct a full drill within 24 hours, muster-outs should take place during this period and crew members (working on chemical tankers) should be given instructions on their emergency responsibilities and abandon ship procedures. Full training should take place as soon as circumstances permit.
