Tiivistelmä
The maritime industry plays a pivotal role in global trade and transportation, with ships serving as crucial vessels for the movements of goods and people across the world's oceans. Ensuring the safety of maritime operations is paramount, and one of the most significant threats to this safety is the occurrence of fires onboard ships.
The purpose of this thesis is to discuss and explore the importance of fire drills onboard a ship. Taking into consideration the safety of both the crew members, the vessel and cargo. The primary objective of this thesis is to find out to what extent do safety drills contribute to the crew members’ preparedness for real emergencies. This thesis also focuses on aspects such as training, because it plays a vital role in safety drills.
In this thesis qualitative research method was used, this was done by asking questions directly to the crew, while the author writes down the answers from the participants, it is more of a discussion session.
These theses follow the case study research design process, because this process will allow one to conduct a more detailed study of the topic in question and it will help one to be able to focus on gaining a holistic understanding of the case. This method also helps one to use knowledge from previous research papers and make congruent conclusions.
Results show that fire drill and Fire prevention systems are designed to eliminate possible fire threats, while fire protection minimizes damage and aids in the safe evacuation of the scene.
