About this title

Synopsis

Crisis and Crowd Management at sea is not primarily a technical discipline. It is a leadership discipline.

Passenger vessel emergencies develop rapidly. Information is incomplete. Emotions escalate. Decisions must be made under pressure.

In those moments, systems assist — but visible command preserves structure.

This book presents a practical and operational framework for Crisis and Crowd Management (CCM), focusing on leadership, communication, passenger behaviour and decision-making in maritime emergencies.

Drawing on decades of maritime command and instructional experience, it bridges the gap between regulatory compliance and real-world behaviour onboard passenger vessels.

Inside this volume you will explore:

• Command presence under pressure
• Crowd dynamics and passenger behaviour
• Communication when clarity is limited
• Decision-making in the first critical minutes
• Minimal-crew crisis doctrine
• Leadership during escalation and evacuation
• Debriefing and professional recovery after serious incidents

Written for masters, officers, maritime students and training organisations worldwide, this book supports modern STCW-aligned Crisis and Crowd Management training while addressing the human realities of command at sea.

Because when uncertainty spreads onboard, people do not follow procedures. They follow leadership.
