Commercial passenger vessels are required to have documented plans to prepare for and respond to emergencies. Proposed amendments to SMS regulations will further codify this requirement. Our extensive experience in emergency preparedness will enable us to create robust procedures  tailored to your vessel and operation.

If your operation requires  ISPS compliant vessel security plans we can conduct and submit for regulatory approval  a Vulnerability  Assessment then draft a Vessel Security Plan that will meet your compliance obligations. 

The Transportation Safety Board has recommended commercial passenger vessels adopt explicit risk management process. We can assess routine and non-routine activities for risk with a assessment tool that will identify hazards, rank their probability of causing an injury, and rate the potential severity. The resulting Risk Ratings  will guide the final Corrective Action Plans. 

Each operation is unique and presents unique challenges. Embark consultants have developed many custom operating plans and navigated the regulatory approval process necessary to put them into action. We can help you develop comprehensive  operating plans that will allow you to deliver the service you want while still maintaining regulatory compliance.
