The Muster List, also known as the Station Bill, is a document that outlines emergency duties and assembly stations for all crew members. Key features include:

1. Crew member names and positions

2. Assigned emergency duties for various scenarios

3. Designated muster stations for each crew member

4. Emergency signals and alarms

5. Location of emergency equipment

This document is used to organize and coordinate the crew’s response to various emergency situations, such as fire, collision, or abandoning ship. It ensures that each crew member knows their specific role and where to report during an emergency. The Muster List is crucial for maintaining safety on board and complying with SOLAS regulations. It is typically posted in prominent locations throughout the ship for easy reference. Regular drills based on the Muster List help familiarize crew members with their emergency duties and improve overall emergency preparedness. The document is regularly updated to reflect changes in crew composition or emergency procedures. Overall, the Muster List plays a vital role in shipboard safety management and emergency response.
