Course Introduction The course is aimed at any person designated on muster lists with the responsibility for the safety of passengers in emergency situations on board passenger ships. The training covers the minimum standard of competence for masters, chief mates, chief engineers, second engineers  and any other person having responsibility for the safety of passengers in emergency situations on passenger vessels.

These measures can be worked into their vessel’s existing emergency procedures and practice, ensuring the crew are as prepared as possible should a crisis ever arise on board ship.
