Some types of emergencies

• Fire / explosion
• Stranding/grounding (powered or drift), collision
• Structural failure (hull, shell doors, tanks,
  flooding)
• Pollution (oil spill, chemical spill, on or off
  ship)
• Unlawful acts (bomb threat, violence, hijack,
  arson)
• System failure (blackout, propulsion, steering)
• Heavy weather (at sea or in port)
• Man overboard
• Medical emergency (injury or illness)
• Other cargo related problems
• Assistance other ships

9
Emergency management

• Survivability of ship (until abandon ship)
• Strength and stability
• Mustering and evacuation, abandon ship
• crew and passengers
• Situation control
• avoid escalation, fix problem
• Avoid environmental discharge

10
Large passenger shipsWhat are the main problems?

• Large number of persons
• Many passengers to guide, unfamiliarity with ship
• Many crew to co-ordinate
• Panic and congestion, language difficulties
• Size of ship and afflicted area
• 12 passenger decks, 71 m high, 345 m long (QM II)
• Landing of passengers and crew
• Ship as its own lifeboat

11
Cargo shipsWhat are the main problems?

• Few crew to handle situation and do management
• Requires efficient ship-shore coordination
• Requires easy to use onboard systems
• Generally less money spent on DSS
• General cargo has higher fatality rate than
  higher cost ships

12
DSS_DC Lessons learned

• Emergency operation cargo ships Very few people
• Minimize detailed planning or operation onboard
• Continuous communication with shore office
• Many alternatives are explored by shore office
• When to decide? Not too early, nor too late
• Must be supported in EMS !

Emergency management onboard

• Bridge and ECR has overall control (ECR for
  engine spaces)
• On Scene Commander and Damage Control Teams do
  local handling
• Bridge and ECR continues normal operation where
  applicable
• Passenger ships may have safety centre and/or
  hotel section

22
Emergency management on shore

• Ship-shore via satellite (SAR and owner)
• Owner-SAR via telephone
• Specialist support for strength/stability

Ship-land communication

• Global Inmarsat, Iridium
• Coast VHF, Cellphone, WiMax
• Regional VSAT

Communication for ship-shore coordination

• Available high-seas communication
• VSAT Limited areas, high data rates, low cost
• Inmarsat Fleet 77 128 kbit/s
• Inmarsat Fleet 55 64 kbit/s
• Inmarsat B 9.6 64 kbit/s
• Iridium 9.6 kbits/s
• Basic requirements Should be minimum 64 kbit/s
• Can use VSAT as main channel, Inmarsat as backup
• Main problem is transmission of CCTV images
• May use still picture or dropped if VSAT is
  unavailable
