Abandon Ship Procedures

Abandon ship procedures outline the steps to take if a vessel is in imminent danger. First, ensure personal safety by donning a life jacket. Gather essential items if time allows—like medications or important documents—but prioritize getting to the lifeboats. Follow the crew’s instructions calmly and orderly. Proceed to the designated muster station to check in and receive further guidance. Use lifeboats or life rafts as needed, maintaining awareness of water hazards. Always keep an eye out for fellow passengers and ensure everyone is accounted for. Adhere to emergency signals and never jump into the water without life-saving equipment.
