Q

According to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), how often are fire and emergency drills to be conducted at sea and in port?

🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS Chapter III requirements for drills and musters • Difference between fire drills and abandon ship/emergency drills timing • How often drills are required regardless of being at sea or in port

💭 Think About

• Think about why SOLAS requires regular practice for emergencies and how frequently crews need to refresh those skills. • Consider whether SOLAS sets a minimum fixed interval for drills or leaves it to the company’s discretion. • Ask yourself: if drills were this far apart, would new crew members always have participated in at least one since joining?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the specific wording in SOLAS Chapter III, Regulation 19 about the frequency of fire and emergency drills. • Check whether the regulation uses terms like “at least once every…” for the interval. • Confirm that the requirement applies both at sea and in port, not just underway.
