Safety is in the human production process, the operation of the system state of human life, property, the environment may produce damage control in human acceptable level below the state.

Just past the shipwrecked Korean ship? The shipwrecked South Korean ship, the SEWOL, was a passenger ship by ship classification standards. According to the ship classification standard is a passenger ship, which is what is a passenger ship? The so-called roll-on/roll-off ship, refers to the cargo can be carried by its own power in and out of the warehouse and at the same time carry passengers on board the ship, mostly used for inland waterway ferries, medium and short-range sea transportation.

Roll-on/roll-off ships are characterized by high loading and unloading efficiency, fast turnover of ships and convenient direct intermodal transportation. But its shortcomings are high center of gravity, poor stability; less cross-grid bulkheads and affect the anti-submergence, the strength of the deck is also affected.

At present, the passenger ship transportation generally has a long route, risk factors, etc., its security standards are no less than the aircraft, which is to ensure the safety of travelers to and from the important initiatives. In order to facilitate the safe and convenient travel of passengers, passengers traveling by passenger ship should pay attention to the following eight matters for:

1, before traveling to grasp the weather forecast in advance, so as not to delay the trip. The Ministry of Transportation does not allow passenger ships to sail over the wind level, in order to reduce the risk of travelers in windy conditions. At present, the Bohai Bay passenger ship wind level of the largest for 8, gusts of 9 and above weather, the maritime department will cancel all passenger ships 8 hours in advance of the sailing program, therefore, before traveling to know the weather forecast for the next few days in advance.

2, luggage packages to have a choice. Traveling by boat and taking the same plane, have to pass the security checker check. Travelers are strictly prohibited from carrying flammable and explosive dangerous goods and control knives, alcohol more than 24 degrees of alcoholic beverages are not allowed to carry; see others carrying prohibited goods, but also to be dissuaded or reflected to the ship's service personnel to ensure that the lives and property of all the ship personnel security.

3, driven with the ship's vehicle may not contain prohibited goods. On the one hand, the vehicle to go through a large security checker and manual security check; on the other hand, the vehicle carrying dangerous goods shall not be deliberately concealed. For the concealment of the investigation, the competent party will be sentenced to 2-10 million administrative penalties and administrative detention, once the vehicle boarding due to concealment of the accident caused by the roll-on/roll-off ship, but also face a huge amount of economic compensation and criminal liability.

4, after boarding the ship must be familiar with the surrounding environment of the cabin. Focus on remembering to the deck of the safety channel, the passenger ship all channels below the obvious arrow logo, in case of emergency, according to the direction of the instructions can be arrived at the passenger concentration point. Each cabin has a sufficient number of life jackets, the passengers boarded the ship to familiarize themselves with the wearing method, so that once the situation occurs, can be used as soon as possible.

5, passengers should raise the awareness of fire. Cabin are installed with automatic sprinkler system, each deck conspicuously installed fire extinguishers, fire hydrants, etc., and has a centralized smoking room, travelers are prohibited from smoking in the cabin, but also do not drink too much alcohol. In case of localized fire, water leakage or other signs of insecurity, you should report to the cabin crew as soon as possible and take remedial measures immediately. Before you can't figure out the situation, you can't make a loud noise, so as not to cause the whole ship to panic or affect the rest of other passengers.

6, passengers do not violate the security regulations. In addition to the Bohai Bay Roll-on Roll-off Vessel in accordance with the "Domestic Security Rules" with 5-10 passenger police patrol with the ship, but also in the vital parts of the video surveillance system. In this regard, passengers are reminded not to stay in the escape channel so as not to block, do not climb the boat pole into the restricted area; do not lean against the side of the boat or stand on the edge of the deck to look down at the waves, in order to prevent dizziness or loss of footing and fall into the water.

7, in case of emergencies to be calm. Boat in the sailing encountered large wind and waves, there will be bumps, then do not have to panic, to listen to the command of the crew, do not run around, loud noise, so as not to cause confusion of the whole boat. Once an accident occurs, we should be under the guidance of the crew, and the whole ship personnel unity, calm and decisive to take strong measures, and strive to eliminate dangerous situations as soon as possible. At present, the Bohai Bay has a three-dimensional rescue capability of land, sea and air, not as a last resort, travelers do not easily jump into the sea to escape, that will be more dangerous, but also increase the difficulty of rescue.

8, the occurrence of serious accidents need to leave the ship, in accordance with the unified command of the crew, wear a good life jacket, orderly life-saving facilities to evacuate the ship. To the spirit of women, children, the elderly, the sick and disabled priority evacuation principle, do not you scramble, chaos, that will delay the precious time, so that more people lose the opportunity to escape.

The survey found that those who are lucky to be alive in the big accidents, most of them are in front of the difficulties of a clear mind, fearless, as well as the courage to fight with the grim reaper.
