Marine Emergency Procedures

Marine Emergency Procedures are established actions to ensure safety during accidents at sea, such as fire, collision, or man overboard. They involve quick assessment, communication with onboard and nearby vessels, and executing specific protocols like using fire extinguishers, rescuing individuals, and stabilizing the vessel. These procedures are designed to minimize risk, protect lives, and prevent escalation. Crew members are trained to respond calmly, follow established plans, and coordinate efforts effectively, ensuring safety and efficient handling of emergencies in the challenging maritime environment.
