Maritime Piracy Drill Checklist

This Master Liveaboards checklist guides crews through a realistic piracy drill scenario to strengthen ship security and response. It covers watchkeeping actions, VHF communication attempts, sounding the piracy alarm, contacting coastguards or navy, maneuvering to deter boarding, clearing decks of potential weapons, blocking boarding points and removing ladders. It directs mustering guests and crew, collecting essential documents, locking exterior doors, maintaining continuous updates with authorities, and recording outcomes. Use at least once per year, more often in high-risk areas.
