    OR SCENARIOS CAN BE USED (LACK OF PERSONNEL, NON-AVAILABILITY OF EQUIPMENT…) TO IMPROVE REACTIONS
    ON BOARD AND TO IDENTIFY ANY INADEQUACIES IN THE SYSTEM.
    • ONE EXERCISE MAY BE BROUGHT TO LEAD INTO ANOTHER, FOR EG, UNCONTROLLED FIRE LEADING TO AN
    ABANDON SHIP SITUATION, COLLISION LEADING TO FLOODING LEADING TO BEACHING ETC.
    • ANY MALFUNCTIONS OR DEFICIENCIES WHICH ARE FOUND MUST BE THE SUBJECT TO IMMEDIATE CORRECTION
    AND/OR NON-CONFORMITY.
