PLANNING FOR RECOVERY
The circumstances you find when you arrive at the scene will differ from incident to incident; but general planning can, and should, be done.

- Who will manage the ship in the meantime?
- What can be done to help people prior to recovery?
- The means of recovery available to you;
- Where on the ship the survivors should be taken after recovery;
- How they will be looked after once they are aboard; and
- How you will keep your own crew and passengers informed of what’s going on.
