Shipping is by nature a genuinely international activity, with strict requirements for harmonized and equal training, regardless of where it is conducted. In this respect IMO provides guidelines to those performing the training through model courses, codes and conventions such as the STCW –95. However, each signatory party to the convention is free to set its own standards for the training. Around the world this has led to the unfortunate situation where there is not only variation in form, but also in content of the actual training that is being performed. One of the measures initiated by IMO in the aftermath of the Estonia catastrophe was the demand for Crowd and Crisis Management training for officers and staff on board passenger vessels. This type of training, a few years back almost non-existent within our industry, has been made mandatory for officers on board certain vessels. The training is offered by a large number of training institutions and suppliers around the world in as many various ways as there are countries where it is performed. The project Securitas Mare or “Safe Seas” has been promoted through the EU: s Leonardo da Vinci program, and has run for 30 months from December 2002 until July 2005, to address this particular problem and aims to create a common European standard for this particular type of training. One of the main objectives with a course of this nature is to prepare the course participants for various emergency situations and to enable them to perform and conduct a full-scale evacuation as safe and sound as circumstances allows for. This paper is dealing with the aims and results of the course and describes the 15 partners to the project and the future aim for specialized training also for shore side staff and other categories of seagoing personnel not covered by today’s requirements.
