As stipulated in the Standards of Training, Certification and Watch keeping for seafares or STCW 1978 amendments to 1995, Survival Craft and Rescue Boat or SCRB stated in section A-VI / 2. SCRB can be interpreted as knowledge about the plane / craft safety and rescue ship. What is meant by survival craft is a boat safety of aircraft, and a rubber lifeboat. Meanwhile, rescue boats, rescue boats which are usually used in the event of incident or Man Overboard MOB (man who fell off the boat and floating on the sea). Every ship that sailed under Chapter III of SOLAS 1974, each ship must be equipped with 6 types of equipment and aircraft safety as follows:

* Life Boat (lifeboat) * Life Raft (life raft) * Life Buoy (buoy helper) * Buoyant Apparatus (tools options ~ life buoy rings, etc * * Life Jacket (waistcoat helper) * Line Throwing Apparatus (rope thrower)
Life Boat is usually made of fiberglass and equipped with motors and other safety equipment (bottled water, food / biscuit, signaling device (parachute flares, hand flares, smoke, mirrors, etc.). Depending on the size of boat life, for the average cruise ship a life boat can carry about 150 passengers at the time of emergency and can be used for tendering service (carrying passengers to and from the pier / port of the ship at anchor) with a maximum carrying 75 passengers.
Life Raft is used in ships are usually made of rubber and wrapped in a capsule, are inflatable and placed on an open deck and only tied with automatic release. Usefulness of the automatic release is to release Life Raft automatically when the ship sank beneath the sea more or less after reaching the depth of 2-4 meters. Life Raft thus may expand at sea level and can be used by the passengers who survived. There are also safety equipment on the Life Raft (life raft) as the life boat.
In the event of emergency situations such as fires or ship accident that caused the ship would sink, ship's captain / master will make an announcement through the PAS, or Public Announcement System which can be heard throughout rauangan in the boat. If the master ordered to leave the ship or abandon ship, the captain will sound the alarm as follows:

* Abandon Ship Alarm: seven short blast followed by one long blast repeated at least three times or seven short sound followed by one long sound is repeated at least 3 times. * Fire alarm: one short-one long sounded three times and repeated continously with a short announcement, or one long one is repeated three times and then followed the announcement of the continuous bridge / bridge.

After that the boat down and automatically bowsing tacle will detach from the rope after a boat hook to touch the surface of the sea.

After launching the boat in the water so the boat away from the aircraft carrier to avoid join terisapnya lifeboat into the sea when the ship sank. At the time of all passengers in the boat given seasick pills or medicine for motion sickness to avoid the passengers seasick. Then the boat pulled Life Raft and collect them into one and patrolling around about the sinking of the carrier to make sure no passengers are not safely rescued or overlooked.

Basic Safety Training or BST is one of the Certificate of Proficiency is required owned by every sailor. Based on the IMO (International Maritime Organization) information about the skills certificate sailors agreed in 1978 amendments to STCW in 1995. For sailors who worked on the ship Roro, Ferry, and Passenger STCW rules can be seen in STCW Code AV / 2. Indonesia as one of the members of IMO, the existence of these rules, each member state must monitor the sailors and educational institutions to make reports about things he had done with regard to quality education and training standards that run the IMO each year and audited fellow member states.
Some of the rules contained in about 1995 amendments to STCW Code AV / 2, namely:

* Basic Safety Training * Familiarization Training * Crowd Management Training * Crisis Management and Human Behavior Training

And all certificates issued by each member state has recorded online and is valid for 5 years (except for familiarization training, because it is done on the boat) and can validate after it expires. Basic Safety Training provides information and instructions about what should be done by each crew in emergency situations or emergency. To obtain a certificate BST every sailor must attend training from an approved institution in terms of survival techniques or Traffic in the case as follows:

* The procedure to communicate with fellow workers on the ship about safety issues.
* Understand and know the information about the symbols, signs clues, and safety signals on board.
* Knowing the procedures for the MOB (Man Overboad), fire or smoke detection and alarm to leave the ship (Abandon Ships Alarms)
* Identify the assembly (Muster) and embarkation stations (where the lifeboat was launched and entered the passenger into the boat from the deck of the ship).
* Identifying an exit route to the muster station on the ship (Escape Route)
* Knowing the location where the safety vest (Life Jackets).
* Knowing the procedures for the use of fire equipment (Fire Extinguishers).
* Knowing the fastest procedures in the accident taking action medic or other emergency.
* Knowing the operating procedures of fire extinguishers (portable fire extinguishers), weather-tight doors (steel door protecting the ship from bad weather, usually in mooring deck / open deck), and water-tight doors (steel doors that can be driven by hydraulic opened / closed manually or remotely straight from the bridge / bridge).



To obtain the certificate participants must BST average training for 8 to 10 days. Participants in the training provided learning in theory and practice. For the theory and practice schedule depends on from where we take the training. There is one interesting thing about the training that one of his teachers told me it meant BST Learning With Sleep (I'll post more about the MTC next time). But clearly if you do feel has never sail (working on the boat) I suggest you take training in Pertamina Jakarta. In addition to professional staff, the training is really based on the rules given in the IMO STCW 1978 amendments to 1995. lets imagine that classes start from 7 am and 4:30 pm was finished hours, so tired .... But Indonesia is also clear his name, would also place wherever there may be set (via the back door) with the cost of course more expensive. Easy hopefully useful for all and thanks a lot for all of you.
