Some types of emergenciesFire / explosionStranding/grounding (powered or drift), collisionStructural failure (hull, shell doors, tanks, flooding)Pollution (oil spill, chemical spill, on or off ship)Unlawful acts (bomb threat, violence, hijack, arson)System failure (blackout, propulsion, steering)Heavy weather (at sea or in port)Man overboardMedical emergency (injury or illness)Other cargo related problemsAssistance other ships

Emergency management

Survivability of ship (until abandon ship)Strength and stability

Mustering and evacuation, abandon shipcrew and passengers

Situation controlavoid escalation, fix problem

Avoid environmental discharge

10MARINTEK

Large passenger ships:What are the main problems?

Large number of personsMany passengers to guide, unfamiliarity with shipMany crew to co-ordinatePanic and congestion, language difficulties

Size of ship and afflicted area12 passenger decks, 71 m high, 345 m long (QM II)

Landing of passengers and crewShip as its own lifeboat

11MARINTEK

Cargo ships:What are the main problems?

Few crew to handle situation and do managementRequires efficient ship-shore coordinationRequires easy to use onboard systems

Generally less money spent on DSSGeneral cargo has higher fatality rate than “higher cost”ships

12MARINTEK

DSS_DC Lessons learned

1. Emergency operation cargo ships: Very few people2. Minimize detailed planning or operation onboard3. Continuous communication with shore office4. Many alternatives are explored by shore office5. When to decide? Not too early, nor too late

Must be supported in EMS !

Ship-land communication

Global: Inmarsat, IridiumCoast: VHF, Cellphone, WiMaxRegional: VSAT

Communication for ship-shore coordination

Available high-seas communicationVSAT: Limited areas, high data rates, low costInmarsat Fleet 77: 128 kbit/sInmarsat Fleet 55: 64 kbit/sInmarsat B: 9.6 – 64 kbit/sIridium: 9.6 kbits/s

Basic requirements: Should be minimum 64 kbit/sCan use VSAT as main channel, Inmarsat as backup

Main problem is transmission of CCTV imagesMay use still picture or dropped if VSAT is unavailable
