Beating the Odds: Onboard Emergency Drills

Prudent mariners take nothing for granted. They prepare for emergencies by conducting frequent emergency drills.
Beating the Odds: Onboard Emergency Drills demonstrates not only what is required for U.S. commercial fishing vessel drills, but also how to conduct drills and what to look for in post-drill debriefings.
This video is divided into sections. It can be stopped and each drill conducted before going on to the next section:
