This training ensures crew members on passenger ships (e.g., cruise ships, ferries) can manage crowds, assist passengers in emergencies, and follow evacuation procedures as per STCW Regulation V/2 and SOLAS and Teaches safe loading, stowage, securing, and handling of cargo to prevent accidents, structural damage, or pollution (aligned with STCW VI/1, VI/2 and IMSBC/IMDG Codes) including maintaining structural strength, watertight integrity, and damage control to prevent flooding or collapse (per SOLAS II-1 and ISM Code).
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Key Objectives
? Crowd Management
- Control passenger movement during emergencies.
- Prevent panic and ensure orderly evacuation.
- Assist vulnerable passengers (children, elderly, disabled).

- Operate life-saving appliances (lifejackets, evacuation slides).
- Communicate emergency instructions clearly.
? Crisis Management & Human Behavior
- Handle distressed passengers.
- Coordinate with bridge and emergency teams.
- Follow procedures for abandon ship and fire emergencies.
Relevant IMO Model Courses:
- 1.29 (Crowd Management & Passenger Safety)
- 1.30 (Crisis Management & Human Behavior)
? General Cargo Safety
- Understand cargo securing manuals and stability calculations.
- Prevent shifting loads and hull stress.
- Follow dangerous goods (IMDG Code) handling procedures.
? Specialized Cargoes
- Bulk Carriers: Prevent cargo liquefaction (e.g., nickel ore, grain).
- Tankers: Safe handling of oil, chemicals, and gas (STCW A-V/1).
- Container Ships: Securing and lashing containers to prevent loss.
? Emergency Response
- Firefighting for cargo-related fires (e.g., chemical reactions).
- Spill containment and pollution prevention.
Relevant IMO Model Courses:

? Hull Structure & Stability
- Identify corrosion, cracks, and fatigue damage.
- Understand load lines and stress factors.
- Use ballast water management to maintain stability.
? Damage Control
- Respond to flooding, collisions, or grounding.
- Operate watertight doors and bilge systems.
- Conduct emergency repairs (e.g., shoring up leaks).
? Preventive Maintenance
- Follow class society rules (e.g., ABS, LR, DNV).
- Inspect hatches, bulkheads, and welding joints.
- Use non-destructive testing (NDT) methods.
