In this video, I want to talk about the abandon ship drill. I'll try to explain what an abandon ship drill is and why I consider these drills to be among the most important on board a ship.
We will explore the requirements set by SOLAS and IMO for conducting an abandon ship drill and how we carry out such drills on board a vessel.
This video covers various aspects, such as what a muster station is and where it is located. We will also discuss the duties and responsibilities of the crew during these training sessions.
We'll touch upon the topic of life rafts and lifeboats, as well as the importance of understanding and using all the safety equipment designed for emergency evacuation from a ship.
