The Fast Rescue Craft / Boat
course has been designed according to the norms of IMO. The training is
mandatory for persons working on FRC/FRB, as mandated to be deployed on
offshore fields by IOGP and on RO-RO
passenger vessels by IMO.
The Rig Contingency Plans would detail, with regard to any given vessel type and equipment deployed, the actions to be performed in the event of a calamity on-board, including how this calamity would be dealt with and the plans as regards rescue and subsequent treatment of any casualties, with specific focus on FRBs. The emergency procedure will include the initial actions to be followed by the Master, FRB, and crew before, during, and after launching an FRB. In addition, the plans should discuss rescue, treatment, and transfer to safety of casualties after recovery. This will require corresponding training of the crews and the procedures should be periodically reviewed to keep them in step with any legislation or best practice changes.
Target Audience Fast Rescue Craft
The marine crew deployed in offshore
fields, and those on jobs at RO-RO passenger ferry.
