EMERGENCY RESPONSE ON CONTAINER SHIPS (VIDEO)

Let us introduce an excellent training film, which is actually another video produced and released by Videotel - this one is intended to supplement the training booklet on the Emergency Response on Container Ships. Although the training programme addresses specifically container ships, the main messages apply equally to emergency on any type or class of ships.

Since the container vessels were originally introduced in 1960s, the container industry has undergone extraordinary growth. Ship size has increased dramatically and so have the commercial demands. As a result, today's container ships are running at high level of possible risk.

The most common and also most dangerous emergencies reported on container ships are fires, which can easily spread to all other sections of the vessel, and leaks, which are posing extremely serious safety risks to the personnel from toxic atmosphere and pollution to the marine environment as well as to the coastal areas. We recommend you to watch this film and be duly aware of the emergency response on container vessels.
