Abandon Ship
Abandoning ship in the open sea is an action of last resort. All reasonable efforts required of mariners for the saving of their ship must clearly have failed before any decision to abandon the vessel will be taken. Only when there is no reasonable chance of saving the ship will the order ever be given to abandon it. The decision to abandon ship is made only by the CO, or in the CO's incapacity, the senior member of the chain of command.
The signal to abandon ship is seven (7) or more short blasts on the ship's whistle and General Alarm, followed by one (1) long blast.
When the order is given to abandon ship, all hands will proceed to their assigned life raft muster stations. Each shall bring his/her protective survival clothing, survival suit, personal floatation device (i.e., life jacket), and other equipment assigned in his/her abandon ship billet. Once the order to abandon ship has been given, the life raft Officers in Charge (OIC) will muster their respective parties and dispatch the assigned crew members to the life raft locations to launch their respective life rafts. Once launched, the remaining personnel will have to act in concert to haul the deployed rafts alongside the main deck embarkation stations. Orderly seamanlike actions at the embarkation stations will assure the rapid and efficient abandoning of the ship. |
