Coastguard are called to intervene in case
of disaster, as well as, other port
authorities. Routeing schemes, VTS
(vessel traffic services) all assist in
avoiding possible disasters which may
occur in busy waters (such as pollution,
shipwrecks, collisions).

EMERGENCY DRILLS
EMERGENCY DRILLS

The drills should be developed to exercise the

emergency plans established for critical

situations and should, as appropriate, mobilise

the shore based management emergency

contingency plans under simulated conditions

Emergency drills and exercises should be

carried out regularly to test the effectiveness

and
clarity of emergency plans, and to develop

the

confidence and competence of the

personnel
who may be involved in actual

emergencies.
