Even as the Sea Launch Commander leaves land behind, the first activity is already underway, with the call to assigned muster stations. This is a mandatory drill for all hands, so that the process of donning a life jacket, finding the assigned muster station, taking roll call and boarding assigned life boats are experienced and remembered, in the event of an emergency.

Second Officer Hans-Arne Bakkelund takes roll call at Muster Station #4. Each muster station is a gathering location.

Following roll call, everyone heads to the life boats.
