Signal at sea – Travel Weekly

Clients book cruise vacations considering they want to relax, visit interesting destinations and have fun. But that doesn’t mean they won’t stay connected to family and friends while they’re away.

Many expect to tweet, text, check newsletter and post pictures to social media sites from the middle of an ocean.

Indeed, the number of iPads, iPhones and other Web-enabled mobile devices in use by passengers at a shipboard lounge often matches the number of rum punches and martinis on the bar.

PASSENGERS TO GET SAFETY BRIEF PRIOR TO SAILING ON CRUISE
Cruise Lines Adopt New Muster Policy
Best Practice Identified Through Cruise Industry Operational Safety Review

Thursday, February 9, 2012 – The global cruise industry today announced a new emergency drill policy requiring mandatory muster for embarking passengers prior to departure from port. The new policy chases the industry’s announcement on January 27 of a Cruise Industry Operational Safety Review in response to the Concordia incident and as part of the industry’s continual efforts to review and improve safety measures. The Cruise Lines worldly organization, European Cruise Council, and the Passenger Shipping organization put forward the new policy with the support of their member cruise lines.

The new muster policy, which has been voluntarily initiated by the associations’ members and is effective immediately, exceeds existing legal requirements by calling for the mandatory muster of all embarking passengers prior to departure from port. On rare occasions when passengers reach after the muster has been completed, passengers will be promptly provided with individual or group safety briefings that meet the requirements for musters applicable under the worldly Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). The formal policy is designed to help ensure that any mandatory musters or briefings are conducted for the benefit of all newly embarked passengers at the earliest practical opportunity.

Musters are mandatory exercises conducted on cruise ships to ensure passengers are informed of safety protocols while onboard the ship, including emergency evacuation procedures. Current legal requirements for conducting a muster of passengers can be found in SOLAS and mandate that a muster occur within 24 hours of passenger embarkation.

The Cruise Industry Operational Safety Review includes a comprehensive assessment of the critical human factors and operational aspects of maritime safety. As best practices are identified, they will be shared among cruise industry organization members and any appropriate recommendations will be shared with the universal Maritime Organization (IMO), European Union and other governmental authorities as appropriate. The industry’s efforts additionally are consistent with the framework and spirit of the worldly Safety Management cipher. Recommendations resulting from the Review will be made on an ongoing basis.
