Shipboard Emergency Response Plan

A Shipboard Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is a set of organized procedures designed to manage emergencies onboard a ship, such as fires, medical crises, or collisions. The plan outlines specific actions to protect the safety of passengers and crew, detailing roles and responsibilities, communication protocols, and evacuation routes. It ensures that everyone knows what to do in a crisis, minimizing chaos and risk. Regular drills and training help reinforce these procedures, ensuring that the crew can respond effectively and efficiently to any emergency situation that may arise during a voyage.
