This course was prepared by experienced former USCG Officers, Master Mariners and Chief Engineers after the analysis of last incidents and pollution in US. The course was also designed as loss prevention mean.

The root cause analysis of most of the marine incidents carried out after marine incidents occurred in US, provided the need to improve the response of the crews in terms of reaction and management. In many cases, they were late, slow, and wrong.

This course was realized to give a practical guide to the shipmaster and his officers and ratings on what to do, when and how and what is the role of the other key actors in order to move harmonized with them towards the final objective to protect the human life, the environment and the property.
