Modern ships are extraordinarily seaworthy craft, built to exacting standards of construction and outfitted with amazing technology. Even the best ships can capsize or sink with terrifying speed, however, and equipment is only as good as the men and women who operate it.
These realities are reflected in the Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) that have been adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and its member nations. Competence in Personal Survival is one of four core elements of the Basic Safety Training that all ships are now required to provide, and all seamen are obligated to achieve.
