2 Muster list

  2.1 The PSCO may determine if the crew members are aware of their duties indicated in the muster list.

  2.2 The PSCO may ensure that muster lists are exhibited in conspicuous places throughout the ship, including the navigational bridge, the engine-room and the crew accommodation spaces. When determining if the muster list is in accordance with the regulations, the PSCO may verify whether:

  • .1 the muster list shows the duties assigned to the different members of the crew;

  • .2 the muster list specifies which officers are assigned to ensure that life-saving and fire appliances are maintained in good condition and are ready for immediate use;

  • .3 the muster list specifies the substitutes for key persons who may become disabled, taking into account that different emergencies may call for different actions;

  • .4 the muster list shows the duties assigned to crew members in relation to passengers in case of emergency; and

  • .5 the format of the muster list used on passenger ships is approved and is drawn up in the language or languages required by the ship's flag State and in the English language.

  2.3 To determine whether the muster list is up to date, the PSCO may require an up-to-date crew list, if available, to verify this.

  2.4 The PSCO may determine whether the duties assigned to crew members manning the survival craft (lifeboats or liferafts) are in accordance with the regulations and verify that a deck officer or certificated person is placed in charge of each survival craft to be used. However, the Administration (of the flag State), having due regard to the nature of the voyage, the number of persons on board and the characteristics of the ship, may permit persons practised in the handling and operation of liferafts to be placed in charge of liferafts in lieu of persons qualified as above. A second-in-command shall also be nominated in the case of lifeboats.

  2.5 The PSCO may determine whether the crew members are familiar with the duties assigned to them in the muster list and are aware of the locations where they should perform their duties.
