Safety First - Basic Safety Training for the Cruise Adventure

Გამოქვეყნდა: 17.09.2019

I have always enjoyed traveling and seeing the world. After a long time in Munich, I decided to quit my old job and embark on a new adventure. My goal was to see more of the world and meet new people.

2018 was finally the year: The adventure of 'Working on a Cruise Ship' could begin.


However, many things had to be taken care of before that... including a Basic Safety Training at MA-CO in Hamburg.
Here, all new crew members receive training on safety on board. How should I act as a crew member in case of emergency?
From Monday to Saturday, everything revolves around safety. What is the Crew Alert, what does General Emergency Alarm mean, and much more.
Extinguishing fires, rescuing people, or getting into the lifeboat through the evacuation slide. How do you act in a lifeboat in open water?
As I said, these were only exercises for us, but it was ensured that we as new crew members were well prepared.


Day 1: Basics

What does it mean to be a sailor? How is an AIDA ship structured? Fire zones, fire doors, water-tight doors, starboard, port, etc.

Day 2: Crowd Management
What does it mean to deal with a large crowd in case of emergency? What types of people are there (panic, fear, calm, etc.) What is my role on the ship in my position? One thing is certain: Everyone has a fixed task on board in a fixed team.

Day 3: Firefighting on board

Today, everything revolved around fire. How does fire start? What safety functions are there on board? How do I extinguish different types of fires... Besides a lot of theory, there was also practice. :-) I can tell you, it was really fun to play firefighter for a day.

Day 4: Survival training in water
In the nearby swimming pool, we first had to put on our swimwear and wear a nice overall. We jumped from the 3-meter diving board with clothes and life jackets, and then paddled a bit in the water. Afterwards, we were shown how we can survive as a group in the open sea. Our life raft also played an important role here.


Day 5: Lots of tests :-)


After the training, we received our certificates and our sailor ID card.
So, let's get started.
