Unlike an emergency situation on land, when a ship faces a crisis at sea, Masters cannot simply dial the emergency services for instant assistance. They take responsibility for dealing with the situation, acting decisively to protect lives and prevent or minimise damage to the ship, environment and cargo.

The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) and the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) have worked in partnership to provide a guide for Masters. "Peril at Sea and Salvage: A Guide for Masters" outlines the actions a Master should take when confronted with an emergency. It also explains the importance of prompt notification to relevant parties with onshore support, particularly coastal States and the company Peril at Sea contains information on the initial response to an incident, implementing the emergency response plan, updates and follow-up actions, and towage and salvage.
