    The muster station is the designated meeting place on a ship where crew and passengers should report during an emergency. Different departments and passenger groups may have different assigned muster stations. A muster list provides details on individual assignments and emergency procedures. It is important for all crew to be familiar with the muster station locations and procedures. There are various types of emergency situations that may occur on a ship. Proper handling requires awareness of potential emergencies and training. Standard procedures include raising alarms, mustering at assigned stations, and following instructions from commanding officers. Drills are important for practicing emergency responses and improving skills, as training can vary between countries and onboard familiarization is needed.

    Describe The Muster Station

    Muster station is the place a person is to report to for accounting purposes. In the Navy that
    is usually the place that the Morning Orders are read, and role call is taken. Typically, it is in the
    vicinity of the work area. If someone is missing, everyone would go to Muster stations (except
    watch standers) to be counted.

    Muster Station is the place on a ship where passengers should assemble in the event of an
    emergency.

    The muster station has a different meeting place for all crew as well as passengers on cruise
    ships. The engineering department might meet on the port (left) side astern (the rear), while the
    navigation department would meet all together in a different location. On cruise ships with
    passengers, the muster station is as a rule numbered and the crew in charge will have a master list
    of all the passengers assigned to that numbered muster station.

    A muster list or station bill is the emergency plan on a ship that sailor needs to adhere to if
    there is a fire or evacuation. This list is posted and shown to the sailor as soon as they board. It
    tells them their job in case of a fire or emergency situation. Your muster station will be assigned
    to you. You should familiarize yourself with the ship.

    Explain The Procedure of Deferent


    Types of Emergency
    An emergency situation on ship must be handled with confidence and calmness, for haste
    decisions and “jumping to conclusions” can make the matters even worse. Efficient tackling of
    emergency situations can be achieved by continuous training and by practical drills onboard vessel.
    However, it has been seen that in spite of adequate training, people get panic attacks and eventually
    do not do what they should in an emergency situation.
    As far as the seafarer is concerned, first and foremost, he or she must be aware of the
    different types of emergency situations that can arise on board ship. This would help in
    understanding the real scenario in a better way and would also lead to taking correct actions to
    save life, property, and environment.

    Here are some brief instruction guide that must be given to all the seafarer onboard to tackle
    different emergency situations.

    Emergency Situation Guide


    Officers and crew should familiarize themselves thoroughly with the Fire Training Manual
    and the training manual on Life Saving Appliances of the ship.

    Fire alarm
    In case of a fire alarm:

     Inform Officer On Watch.

     Check if it is a false or true alarm.

     Report back of findings.

    In case of fire, raise the Fire/General alarm as soon as possible. Try to stop fire and if it is not
    possible, muster according to the Fire Muster List.

    General Alarm
    In case of a general alarm:

     Rush to muster station with life jacket, immersion suit, and act according to the vessel’s
    Muster Lists.

     Act as per the emergency explained by the incharge officer.


    Abandon Ship Signal
    In case of Abandon Ship Signal:

     Rush to the muster station

     Carry as much ration, water, and warm clothing as you can carry

     Act according to the vessel’s Muster Lists.

    Man Overboard signal


    In case of Man Overboard Signal:

     Rush to the deck and try to locate the crew member fallen in the water

     Throw lifebuoy and inform deck.

    CO2 alarm
     In case of CO2 alarm, leave the Engine Room immediately.

    Engineers Call
    In case of engineers call:

     All Ship Engineers Should assemble in the Engine Control Room

    Cargo Hold Flooding


     In case of cargo hold flooding, Master must be informed immediately.

     All precaution must be taken to contain the flooding to that hold.

     General alarm must be raised.

    Pollution prevention

     In case of any oil spill/pollution immediate action should be taken according to the
    vessel’s “Shipboard Oil Pollution Prevention Plan”.
    Engine Room Flooding
     In case of engine room flooding, Chief Engineer should be called immediately and
    general alarm should be raised.

     Immediate action should be taken in preventing more sea water to enter the engine room
    and Emergency bilging from the Engine Room should be established in accordance with
    the Chief Engineer.

     Emergency Plan (SOPEP) and Onboard SOPEP Equipment located in Deck Stores
    should be used in case of Oil Spill.

    In case of any other emergency situations, call for help either by using the phone or by activating
    the EMERGENCY CALL. Whatever might be the situation, keep the Master, Chief Engineer
    and Officer on Watch informed of the situation all the time.

    Explain the Importance of Training


    and Drills
    According to the STCW 78/95 Convention every person working on board of the vessel
    has to have a Basic Safety Training Certificate issued by the authorized Authority. This certificate
    followed by a familiarization on board for some crew members is the sufficient level of knowledge.
    Crew members should realize that, although they went through the training on land, every vessel
    is different and equipped in various ways. During the familiarization the most important pieces of
    information are given, but only personal training will provide the crew member with the necessary
    skills. Drills and their different scenarios are a perfect opportunity of gaining and improving the
    knowledge and give the ability of finding the best solution in case of real emergency. It must be
    also recognized that not every country, which is a signatory of the STCW 78/95 Convention, is
    able to control and maintain required level of on land training. It states, that countries should be
    inspected to verify if Convention’s requirements are fulfilled. Maritime Safety Agency is
    responsible for states verification but the results and decisions have an application only on flag
    vessels and waters. According to that every ship master should take into account that certified
    seafarer may not have required knowledge. Conducting drills and providing on board training may
    supplement defficiencies in on shore education.
