Confidently Plan and Conduct Onboard Drills

A step-by-step guide to 18 drills, including fire, MOB, piracy, oil spill and more. With objectives, safety notes, and drill frequencies for training officers.

Shipboard Drills is a practical, scenario-based guide to planning and conducting onboard emergency drills. Covering 18 different drill types, it outlines clear objectives, structure, and post-drill debrief guidance to help ensure your crew are prepared for real-life situations.

Designed to build competence, confidence and teamwork, this book includes guidance for both statutory and non-statutory drills, from lifeboat and fire drills to collision, piracy, oil spill response and blackout scenarios.
