Emergency Headquarter
Many shipping companies operate their fire fighting and emergency defence
centred around a designated "Emergency Headquarters" (EHQ) where a quantity
of fire fighting and emergency equipment is kept in readiness for an emergency
response and which also forms a focal point for mustering emergency teams.
The above would be a minimum from which, depending upon ship type and
current trade, a wider range of equipment would be deemed necessary, including:-
• 1 foam branch and 2 x 5 gallon drums of foam compound.
• 3 sets of chemical suits and 2 additional B/A sets – IMDG cargoes.

in the log book.
3. Photo records with dates are a good idea as evidence of
drills being regularly held.
