A table top discussion after the drill covered topics like preparing a collision mat and the possibility of the ship becoming embedded.

    not done are mentioned in bold. This effort of carrying out the drill in a new manner was
    adopted after discussion with all the senior officers on board and the designated person ashore
    to close the observation made by the external office auditor and at the same time make the
    drills more effective and practical.

    Due no definite duty the crew was initially found to be disoriented. The drill was carried out
    during day light situation. The problems, difficulties and the additional operations that would
    have been required to perform for a night situation were discussed in details. Some useful tips
    were received form the crew as well. All items taken out of the fwd store, life boats, etc were
    squared up and drill called off by 1200 hrs. All timings noted by 3/O as received reports on the
