Improve your cruise ship's safety in 5 ways white cruise ship neededinthehome

Many tourists are willing to pay handsome amounts to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime adventure aboard a cruise ship. If you own or manage one, it's upon you to ensure that your guests will have a safe and unforgettable journey from one port to another.

Fortunately, some companies offer marine crew management services to cruise ships who need specialized assistance in various ship management aspects. With such companies, you can source qualified ship crews to take care of your cruise ship's different operational requirements – from those operating the engine to teams who serve food to guests.

While cruise ships are generally rated as very safe vessels, it's no reason to be complacent and throw common sense out the window. In short, ship owners and managers should still ensure that all safety precautions are in place at all times.

Speaking of ship safety, here are five ways on how you could make your cruise ship a safe one for everyone aboard:

 

Provide personal safety gears to your crew

Your crew should have appropriate and ample safety gear, especially those who do high-risk jobs. Among others, your crew members should have the following personal protective equipment…

Invest in fire management systems and equipment

Fire incidents in cruise ships can happen, which is why you must invest in fire management systems and firefighting equipment. These should include CO2 and mist systems, as well as fire hoses and extinguishers.

Be sure to pay particular attention to areas where fire incidents are most likely to occur, such as the engine room and kitchen. Ensure that you are using the proper cabinets to store flammable chemicals. Invest in both automated and manual fire suppression systems if you can to ensure fail-proof fire safety nets.

Maintain ship hygiene and cleanliness

Diseases and viruses can, and at times do, break out even in cruise ships. Knowing this, ensure that good health and sanitation are observed and maintained in your vessel at any given time.

Pay specific attention to areas and spots that guests frequent or come in contact with, such as the buttons of the elevator, doorknobs, and railings. Common colds can be easily spread through these, but periodic disinfecting can efficiently address such threats.

 

Crew Protection

Ensure that your crew sets an example of health and safety. Put them through training to ensure they are using the cleanest standards when coming in contact with anything or anyone.  If any of the staff are ill, or some of the guests are ill, each member of the crew should wear a face mask to ensure all members of the cruise are protected. Also, for those staff that need to clean the rooms of the ill parties, the should definitely wear high-quality disposable gloves to ensure they're protected. They could go to Unigloves to find what sort of gloves are available to effectively protect staff and guests.

 

Mind the weather

While cruise ships are typically well-built ocean vessels, they are not unsinkable in the same vein that Titanic never was. And out in the high seas, the weather can go from nice and sunny to bad and stormy in no time.

You can avoid a head-on collision with violent weather by making sure that your ship's crew regularly monitors weather forecasts and real-time weather reports through the ship's onboard weather station. For particularly nasty weather conditions, always do evasive maneuvers to avoid putting everyone's safety at risk or forego trips until the weather has calmed down.

 

Enforce emergency drills for passengers and safety training for crew members

During emergencies, everyone aboard your ship must know what to do or how to react. Their chances of survival increase if done so.

As such, make sure that all guests will participate in on-board drills facilitated by ship crews. Also, your crew members should be adequately trained to handle various emergencies aboard the ship, whether whole still docked or out in the open seas.

 

Aside from these tricks, there are other ways to beef up your cruise ship's security and safety. With a reliable and competent manning agency, you can have the right people to work on your vessel so that your guests could have a safe journey on your cruises.
