Maritime Questions › Yacht — Passenger Safety
What crew qualification/training requirement does REG Yacht Code Part B place on crew with designated passenger safety duties (e.g. muster station leaders), beyond standard STCW Basic Safety Training?
A. No additional training beyond basic competency in their normal day-to-day role is expected for passenger emergency duties
B. Standard STCW Basic Safety Training alone is considered fully sufficient for any passenger-facing emergency duty, with no additional consideration needed
C. Passenger safety duties may be assigned to any crew member at random at the time of an actual emergency, with no advance designation or training needed
D. Crew with specific passenger-facing emergency duties should have training appropriate to that role (e.g. crowd/crisis management awareness, passenger guidance techniques) reflecting the added complexity of managing untrained guests during an emergency, not just managing themselves

D. Safety briefings are only mandatory for first-time charter guests, not repeat clients

A. Passengers are excluded entirely from any emergency procedure and are expected to remain in their cabins regardless of the emergency type
B. Passengers are not trained crew and cannot be relied upon to perform emergency duties — the Code's provisions (briefing content, muster procedures, crew-to-passenger ratios for assistance) are built around crew actively managing and guiding passengers through an emergency, not passengers being expected to self-manage
C. Passengers are expected to perform identical emergency duties to trained crew once briefed
D. There is no meaningful distinction between passenger and crew responsibilities under the Code
