Passenger and crisis management

• Seafarers on passenger ships who, according to the ship's alarm instructions, have the task of assisting passengers in an emergency. 
  
  
• Master on board vessels operating in 12 pax business

For those who maintain their competence on board, and do not complete courses at a course centre, the company must issue a separate course certificate. It must be stated that the participant has maintained his/her competence in passenger and crisis management by having 12 months' seagoing service from a passenger ship during the last five years, and that the course certificate must also contain name, date of birth, date of issue, "valid to date", reference to Section 60 of the Regulations relating to qualifications and certificates and the current course description.

The NMA shall not apply for renewal of the passenger and crisis management course.

If you are tasked with assisting passengers in an emergency, you will have a course in passenger and crisis management.

There is no requirement for passenger and crisis management if you have on board:

• colleagues who are employed by you who will be transported to and from the location
• personnel from fish health, administrative staff, etc.
• persons who will be present during the voyage to do a job on board the vessel itself or at the location. e.g.: electrician or other service people

Other persons who join on board outside of a work situation, for example as part of recreation or viewing (school classes, delegations with elected representatives, etc.), fall under the passenger concept, and the driver must have a course in passenger and crisis management in order to carry these.
