This publication provides criteria for the development of training courses for personnel working on passenger vessels, in accordance with international regulations for seafarer training.
It aims to help create training courses that provide seafarers with the necessary knowledge, understanding and proficiency to carry out designated duties and to help ensure safety on board passenger vessels. It covers crowd management, safety training, crisis management and human behaviour, passenger safety, cargo safety and hull integrity. Training developed in line with these criteria will cover:
