Maritime QuestionsSafety & Emergency

The yacht is preparing to host a large event on board with external catering staff, entertainers and additional visitors who are not part of the normal complement. What additional safety/security planning should the Chief Officer consider?

B. Briefing all additional personnel on muster procedures and emergency exits relevant to the areas they will be in, accounting for the increased total persons on board against safe capacity/LSA provisions, controlling access to restricted/crew areas, and ensuring fire safety arrangements (e.g. additional cooking equipment, decorations, lighting) do not compromise escape routes or introduce new fire risks
C. None — events are managed entirely by the management company/event planners, not the crew
D. Safety briefings are unnecessary for short on-board events
