In an emergency with risk for total loss of the ship, the Master orders t h e support party to lower the life boats to embarkation level and prepare them in readiness to abandon ship. When should abandonment be undertaken?. As soon as your instinct tells you that fire fighting is no longer effective. As a first priority on hearing the alarm. As a last resort on orders from the Master. Immediately after al persons have reported to their muster stations.

Why should the Master remain at the control centre at all times during an emergency?. As the person with the greatest overview and authority, the Master must be at the control centre to receive information and to give orders. The Master's place on board is always on the bridge. The Master need not remain at the control centre as long as he retains good communication with the emergency response parties. The Master should lead from the front and be at the emergency site to lensure that correct action is being taken.

What is the best strategy for fighting a fire in a general cargo hold?. Have water hoses ready for immediate use and open the hatch to determine the seat of the fire. Open the small personnel entry hatch & get the Breathing Apparatus team in ASAP to determine the seat of the fire. Based on BA Team findings, act!. Open the small personnel entry hatch, and by applying water hoses flood the hold until at least two feet of water covers the double-bottom tank tops. Keep hatches battened down and control the fire with smothering gas until the nearest port is reached. Boundary cool and monitor temperatures.

If there is an isolated incident on the poop deck, where should the Master take control from?. the incident site so that rational decisions can be taken w/o delay. To see the situation for himself and like a good general "lead from the front". The ship's office where he can assemble his team and give clear instructions. The emergency headquarters/store where he can select the correct response equipment and dispatch the best trained and fittest people to the site. The bridge, using this facility as a control and communications centre.

What is needed for a successful response to an emergency situation?. A wel constructed ship which has been equipped with fire fighting equipment prescribed by the SOLAS Convention. An effectively trained emergency party led by an experienced senior officer with the necessary STCW Advanced Fire fighting certificate. A small close-knit group working together as a team w/ effective leadership & understanding the importance of Coordination, Communication & Control. An experienced Master who holds valid Advanced fire Fighting course certificates.

Why are accommodation fires difficult to contain?. The vertical distance of fire hoses from the emergency fire pump makes it difficult to bring sufficient water pressure to bear on the fire. Access to the various decks by narrow staircases makes it difficult for the fire fighters to reach the seat of the fire. The question is not correct, accommodations fires are relatively easy to trackle. Ventilation systems, open alleyways, and stairwells can aid the spread of fire.

An EPIRB is used on life boats after abandoning ship, what is the EPIRB?. Electronic Positioning Instrument and Receiving Device. it is a smoke generator used to indicate the position of a vessel on fire. Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon. Emergency Receiving Beacon.

What is the best strategy for the Master to follow after receiving the initial information of a fire on board?. Call an urgent meeting of senior officers to discuss a comprehensive plan of attack. Immediate response and rapid attack by the emergency party. Put the engineers on stand-by with orders to run the fire pumps, emergency pump, and other vital auxiliary engine room facilities. Prepare the ship's hospital for treatment of casualties.

In case of fire on board, what do you think is the primary consideration of the Master?. To follow instructions as given in the emergency response manual prepared in compliance with the international Safety Management (ISM) Code. The safety of the crew. To liaise with the head office and show authorities. To save the ship.

What is the responsibility of the Master and the emergency organisation when an incident arises?. To check that all fire fighting equipment is in good working order and that the crew are fully trained in emergency response to the incident. To establish reliable communication links. To review the emergency response plan. To assess, with minimum delay, the best possible action to take when the incident arises.

What action should be taken immediately after a fire has been extinguished?. Hold a de-briefing of the incident with all officers and fire fighters present. Establish a continuous watch at the fire area against re-ignition and remove any smouldering material. Report the incident to the vessel operator and flag state authorities. Write a non-conformance report in compliance with chapter 9 of the International Safety Management Code.

After a fire the Master will need to take several actions. Which item below does NOT belong?. report casualties and arrange for their treatment. Hold an inquiry involving all relevant personnel. Examine and document the cause of the fire and whether it could have been prevented. Establish who is to blame.

Once the fire is contained, the Master needs to evaluate the best strategy for the next stage. This might include a number of actions. In your opinion which action does NOT belong?. Keeping the fire contained. The use of fixed installations to put it out. Re-introducing air circulation by opening up fire dampers and other opening. Other means of control.
