Who is responsible for ensuring that all passengers are informed about emergency procedures on vessels?

The captain or master of a vessel is primarily responsible for ensuring that all passengers are informed about emergency procedures. This includes conducting safety briefings and providing information about emergency exits, life jackets, and evacuation protocols. Additionally, crew members play a crucial role in assisting with these briefings and ensuring that all passengers understand the procedures clearly. Compliance with safety regulations also mandates that vessels conduct regular drills to reinforce this knowledge.
