An incident at sea soon becomes everyone's business. In today’s era of instant global communication, the world soon learns of both the successes and the challenges.
Reporting and ongoing liaison with the authorities is almost the easy part.
ISM and ISPS have well-defined responsibilities for the DPA and CSO and these, along with our Emergency Response Team, regularly run exercise drills in order to improve our own and the yacht’s ability to manage incidents.
Our dedicated Emergency Response Room is fully equipped for its intended purpose, ready for use at all times and forms the focal point of any incident, be it media, pollution, safety or security related.

We take a comprehensive approach to incident response using our own staff and the technical resources, facilities and expertise of the Döhle group of companies to deal with any maritime incident.
