Before offshore work begins, preparation starts on board. SAL recently completed a two-day emergency response training program aboard MV Lone in cooperation with the Maritime University of Szczecin Training Center.

The program was designed around operational risks crews may face at sea, including confined spaces, cargo holds, work at height, and difficult-to-access areas. In total, 29 participants trained within the vessel’s own working environment.

The sessions combined theoretical instruction with realistic rescue exercises. Training covered rope evacuations, casualty handling and rescue work inside crane structures and narrow onboard spaces.

Beyond technical drills, the program focused on building confidence, strengthening teamwork, and helping crew members act safely and decisively in emergency situations. The activity also reflected the Act Safely campaign of the Harren Group, which promotes onboard safety as a shared responsibility.

With the training completed, MV Lone and her crew are prepared for the next offshore challenge ahead.
