 WHAT IS A PASSENGER SHIP?

• A PASSENGER SHIP IS A MERCHANT

SHIP WHOSE PRIMARY FUNCTION IS TO
CARRY PASSENGERS ON THE SEA.
WHAT ARE THE THREE TYPES OF PASSENGER
SHIPS?
1. FERRY

2. OCEAN LINER

3. CRUISE LINER
A FERRY IS A MERCHANT
VESSEL USED TO CARRY
PASSENGERS, AND SOMETIMES
VEHICLES AND CARGO, ACROSS A
BODY OF WATER. A PASSENGER
FERRY WITH MANY STOPS IS
SOMETIMES CALLED A WATER
BUS OR WATER TAXI.
KP1

AN OCEAN LINER IS THE TRADITIONAL FORM OF

PASSENGER SHIP. ONCE SUCH LINERS OPERATED ON
SCHEDULED LINE VOYAGES TO ALL INHABITED PARTS OF
THE WORLD.

RMS Queen Mary

2 is the only ocean
liner operating
today

CRUISE SHIPS ARE LARGE PASSENGER SHIPS USED
MAINLY FOR VACATIONING. UNLIKE OCEAN LINERS,
WHICH ARE USED FOR TRANSPORT, THEY TYPICALLY
EMBARK ON ROUND-TRIP VOYAGES TO VARIOUS PORTS-
OF-CALL, WHERE PASSENGERS MAY GO
ON TOURS KNOWN AS "SHORE EXCURSIONS".
 PASSENGER SHIP SIZES
• Small: Small ships usually carry no more than 350 passengers. Small
cruise ships also provide a more intimate and less crowded cruise
experience than larger ones.
• Medium: Medium-sized ships typically carry anywhere between 800
and 2,500 passengers. Like small ships, itineraries on medium-sized
ships often include a mix of unusual and well-traveled ports. Since
medium ships may carry over a thousand passengers, they might
have an ambiance similar to large ships.
• Large: Large cruise ships carry over 3,500 passengers. Large ships
typically feature a variety of restaurants and entertainment options
and stop at the world’s most popular ports. Large vessels cannot fit
into small, hidden harbors, so they can only take guests to crowded
destinations.

GLOSSARY TO HELP NAVIGATE YOUR SHIP
• Aft: The area near the ship’s stern at the rear of the ship
• Bow: The front of the ship
• Bridge: The area of the ship, typically located in the bow, where the captain and crew control and manage
the vessel
• Cabin: Your private onboard room, also known as a stateroom
• Decks: The floors of the ship’s structure arranged in different levels, such as the lower, middle and upper
decks
• Galley: The ship’s kitchen
• Hull: The main body of the ship
• Lido deck: Where you’ll find the pool and typically other amenities such as restaurants, bars, and a fitness
center
• Midship: Toward the middle of the ship
• Port: The left side of the ship when facing the bow
• Starboard: The right side of the ship when facing the bow
• Stern: The extreme rear of the ship
• Stateroom: The stateroom is your private space where you
sleep, relax and get ready for your day of adventure.
Staterooms vary depending on your ship and may be small,
frugal cabins or spacious accommodations with elegant
touches.
• Crew space: The crew space is the private area reserved for
the ship’s staff and crew members, such as chefs,
housekeepers and the captain. Crew members typically live on
the lower deck, while staff members live on the upper deck.
The captain and officers usually stay in private staterooms
near the bridge.
• Public space: The public space includes the areas all guests
can enjoy, such as the pool, fitness center, library and
restaurants.
 CABIN TYPES
• Oceanview rooms: Oceanview rooms, also called outside cabins, line the ship
and typically feature a window or balcony. Oceanview staterooms let in
natural light and allow you to watch the scenery from the comfort of a
private space.
• Inside cabins: Inside rooms are in the middle of the ship. Inside staterooms
do not have windows or a balcony and are usually a more budget-friendly
option. Otherwise, they are similarly sized and have the same amenities as an
oceanview room.
• Suites: Suites typically offer seating areas and may have multiple rooms or
more space than a regular cabin.
 ITINERARY
• Your itinerary shows the day-to-day schedule of your cruise. It includes
ports of call, or the destinations where you’ll stop throughout your
voyage, and sea days. A sea day is when you’ll cruise open waters
without making any stops. Types of itineraries are as follows.
• Round-trip: A round-trip cruise leaves and returns to the same departure
port. For example, the ship might depart from San Diego and head to
Alaskan ports, then sail back to San Diego. A round-trip cruise can be an
ideal option for someone who can drive to the departure port and wants
to avoid air travel.
• One-way: With a one-way cruise, the journey begins at one departure
port and ends at a different one. For example, your cruise might start in
Barcelona and then finish in Athens. A one-way cruise provides more time
to explore a range of destinations in a single voyage. You might also hear
this type of journey called open-jaw sailing.

 DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM
• Decision Support System (DSS) is a carriage requirement for passenger ships and is defined
• by SOLAS Ch. III [DSS]. It shall, as a minimum, consist of a printed emergency plan or
• plans. All foreseeable emergency situations shall be identified in the emergency plan or plans,
• including, but not limited to, the following main groups of emergencies:
• 1. fire;
• 2. damage to ship;
• 3. pollution;
• 4. unlawful acts threatening the safety of the ship and the security of its passengers/crew;
• 5. personnel accidents;
• 6. cargo-related accidents; and
• 7. emergency assistance to other ships.
• Administrations can also accept a computer based DSS in addition to the paper based plans.
• Note that this regulation also defines a high level list of possible emergencies.
EM: High level Emergency Management with, e.g., electronic plotting table
functionality and control and monitoring facilities for the main systems involved.
• DSS: Less complex decision support type assistance (checklists, safety management
reporting) rather than full management support.

 HOW TO TACKLE EMERGENCIES AND BE
PREPARED FOR THEM

•1. FAMILIARISATION
•2. TRAINING
•3. DRILLS
FAMILIARISATION
• It is a normal procedure on board ships that the
new crew member will be given familiarization of
his or her duties by the person who is being
relieved. The familiarization training will include:
Duties to be performed by the new crew member.
Specific equipment to be operated and
maintained.
• SEE VIDEO…. ( SHIP BOARD
FAMILIARISATION)
TRAINING
• REGULAR TRAINING GIVEN TO ALL CREW MEMBERS ON LSA, FFA,
PPE, SAFETY SYSTEMS ONBOARD, COMPANIES SAFETY MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM, GOOD HOUSE KEEPING, FIRST AID, RESCUE PROCEDURES
ETC…..

• THIS IS A ROUTINE TRANING AFTER CARRYING OUT THE INITIAL

FAMILIARISATION.

• WATCH VIDEO ( SAGA SHIP SAFETY TRAINING VIDEO 10 MINS)

 DRILLS
• PASSENGER MUSTER TO BE CARRIED OUT PRIOR DEPARTURE OF THE SHIP
(In ships in which the voyage exceeds one week in duration a
complete drill shall be held before leaving port, and others thereafter
at least once a week during the voyage. 2.2 All watertight doors, both
hinged and power operated, in main transverse bulkheads, in use at
sea, shall be operated daily.)
• LIFEBOATS TO BE LOWERED AND MANOUVERED ONCE EVERY 3 MONTHS
• LIFEBOAT DRILL / ABANDONSHIP DRILL TO BE CARRIED OUT WEEKLY OR IF
MORE THAN 25% OF CREW CHANGE HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT, WITHIN 24
HRS OF LEAVING PORT.
• FIRE DRILL / GENERAL EMERGENCY DRILLS TO BE CARRIED OUT ONCE
EVERY MONTH
• The SSO must ensure that at least one security
drill is conducted once every three months to promote the effective
implementation of the Ship Security Plan
ARE MUSTER DRILLS MANDATORY?

• A muster drill is a mandatory safety

exercise with the objective to familiarize all
guests and crew with the location
(muster station) where they are to assemble
in the unlikely event of an emergency. ...
Guests should not bring life jackets to
the muster drill.
WHAT IS COMUNICATION??
Communication is simply the act of
transferring information from one place,
person or group to another.
Every communication involves (at
least) one sender, a message and a
recipient. ... These include our
emotions, the cultural situation, the
medium used to communicate, and
even our location.
 TYPES OF
COMMUNICATION
COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS ONBOARD
1. PA SYSTEM
2. WALKIE TALKIE
3. TALK BACK SYSTEM
4. TELEPHONE
5. ALARM BELL
6. MESSENGERS
 SURVIVAL CRAFT ( LIFEBOATS AND LIFERAFTS)

• LESS THAT 500 GT AND TOTAL PERSONS LESS THAN 200
• 100% LIFERAFTS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE SHIP OR 150%IF THE
LIFERAFTS CANNOT BE READILY TRANSFERRED.
MUSTER LIST
• The Muster List consists of duties and responsibilities
in case of such mishaps, designated and assigned to
each person on the ship; in other words, it is a list of the
functions each member of a ship crew is required to
perform in case of emergency.

• BOAT CARD( ID CARD) – ALL CREW MEMBERS ARE

PROVIDED WITH THIS CARD. SAFETY
INFORMATION IS GIVEN EG. MUSTER POINT, ALT
MUSTER POINT, EMG SIGNALS, DUTY.
