Survival manual updated

The Maritime Progress ‘Vital Actions to be Taken On-board Survival Craft’ manual has been updated with the latest legislation, guidance and best practice.

“All crew members should be given the opportunity to read this book and be made aware of it as part of their Emergency Survival Training,” said Maritime Progress.

This recently revised and reprinted survival booklet contains information essential to survival if the time comes to abandon ship and take to a lifeboat or liferaft. This includes making effective use of the equipment provided and adopting the correct procedures.

The LSA Code Chapter IV requires survival craft to carry a survival manual with instructions on how to survive.

The survival Booklet (PB1201Z) is printed on waterproof material for storage in both lifeboats and liferafts and has been developed in accordance with IMO Resolution A.657(16) – Instructions for action in survival craft.
