Port Emergencies: Fire, Spills, Weather and Person in the Water
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
This is a knowledge course. It is not ISPS Code training and is not recognised by any port or maritime authority.
It is 3 a.m. at the container berth. A berth is the place where a ship ties up. A truck driver runs to your gate. He says a man has slipped off the quay, the hard edge where the land meets the water. At the same time you smell smoke from the yard.
Focus: raise the alarm first. Keep people back. Never go into the water, onto a burning ship, or into a spill. Guide the trained teams in.
Learning objectives
- Find your part in the port emergency plan.
- Take the right first actions for a fire, a leak or a spill.
- Act safely when a person falls into the water.
- Move people away from the water in bad weather.
