New crew joining a vessel must be familiarised with safety equipment, emergency procedures, and their department duties before standing watch. This checklist covers documentation verification, safety familiarisation (SOLAS III/19.4), department-specific handover, shipboard procedures, and ISM Code awareness — ensuring nothing is missed in the critical first 24 hours aboard.

Documented familiarisation is a legal requirement and is checked during port state control inspections and ISM audits.
