MARINTEK 7 Contents Background Emergencies and emergency management Emergency management systems Emergency management organisation Support for ship-shore coordination

MARINTEK 8 Some types of emergencies Fire / explosion Stranding/grounding (powered or drift), collision Structural 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 overboard Medical emergency (injury or illness) Other cargo related problems Assistance other ships

MARINTEK 9 Emergency management Survivability of ship (until abandon ship) Strength and stability Mustering and evacuation, abandon ship crew and passengers Situation control avoid escalation, fix problem Avoid environmental discharge

MARINTEK 10 Large passenger ships: What are the main problems? Large number of persons Many passengers to guide, unfamiliarity with ship Many crew to co-ordinate Panic and congestion, language difficulties Size of ship and afflicted area 12 passenger decks, 71 m high, 345 m long (QM II) Landing of passengers and crew Ship as its own lifeboat

MARINTEK 11 Cargo ships: What are the main problems? Few crew to handle situation and do management Requires efficient ship-shore coordination Requires easy to use onboard systems Generally less money spent on DSS General cargo has higher fatality rate than “higher cost” ships

MARINTEK 12 DSS_DC Lessons learned 1.Emergency operation cargo ships: Very few people 2.Minimize detailed planning or operation onboard 3.Continuous communication with shore office 4.Many alternatives are explored by shore office 5.When to decide? Not too early, nor too late Must be supported in EMS !

MARINTEK 27 Ship-land communication Global: Inmarsat, Iridium Coast: VHF, Cellphone, WiMax Regional: VSAT AMVER plot July 2004 Red: > 50; Blue < 4

MARINTEK 28 Communication for ship-shore coordination Available high-seas communication VSAT: Limited areas, high data rates, low cost Inmarsat Fleet 77: 128 kbit/s Inmarsat Fleet 55: 64 kbit/s Inmarsat B: 9.6 – 64 kbit/s Iridium: 9.6 kbits/s Basic requirements: Should be minimum 64 kbit/s Can use VSAT as main channel, Inmarsat as backup Main problem is transmission of CCTV images May use still picture or dropped if VSAT is unavailable
