MEPC.54(32) Amended by Resolution MEPC.86(44) - 3 Non-Mandatory Provisions:
3.10. Plan testing: The Plan will be of little value if it is not made familiar to the personnel who will use
it. Regular exercises will ensure that the Plan functions as expected and that the contacts and
communications specified are accurate. Such exercises may be held in conjunction with other
shipboard exercises and appropriately logged. Where ships carry response equipment, hands-on
experience with it by crew members will greatly enhance safety and effectiveness in an emergency
situation. Procedures for training and exercise may be defined.
