ASPIDA PRESENTS:
AN EFFICIENT 1-DAY REFUGEE RESCUE COURSE FOR SEAFARERS

The ever-increasing rates of rescuing lives at sea and the fate of refugees in distress at high seas or in territorial waters, impose a new situation that has to be managed by seafarers.Aspida offers an effcient one-day course overviewing the regulations of International Law, providing instructions and helpful insight on what to do when rendering assistance in distress.

Refugees, migrants and asylum seekers are likely to be rescued at large numbers by passing ships, especially in the:

• MEDITERRANEAN
• BENGAL BAY
• RED SEA & HORN OF AFRICA
• CARIBBEAN

It is not at all impossible that such a boat will cross your way.
What should you do? You are under an obligation to attend to the rescue.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED:

• What do I have to do during a rescue of such people in distress?

• What is considered a safe place?

• Which should be the port of disembarkation?

• Which laws, rules and regulations apply?

• Where can I find more information?

• How can I reach the relevant authorities?

LEARN HOW TO:

• Accommodate and manage rescued persons on board

• Manage the security of the ship with rescued persons on board

• Manage the safety of the crew and rescued persons on board

• Post disembarkation actions to be taken by the ship and company

• Prepare, train and organise your people to efficiently perform LSROAS

SCOPE:

• We will prepare your people to administer a refugee rescue at sea, while handling the logistics, the psychology and the regulations.
