Emergency Response Awareness and Acknowledgement (ERACK)

The Emergency Response Awareness and Acknowledgement (ER-ACK) training provides theoretical and practical information about emergency response onboard in saving human lives, safeguarding the maritime environment, and reducing ship damage. Continuous training and practical drills onboard are essential in this respect, but they cannot guarantee that the crew will follow orders in the event of an emergency. This training provides how to tackle emergency situations on board ships. Although continuous training and practical exercises onboard ships may help crew members deal effectively with emergency circumstances. They must foremost be prepared of the many sorts of emergency scenarios that might occur onboard a ship. This training aids in a better understanding of the true situation and develop emergency awareness and preparedness through learning by doing.
