2.9.2 REFUGEES
In certain sea areas a more vigilant lookout should be maintained for refugee
boats which are usually small and difficult to see. Refugees are mainly found
close to areas of political and civil unrest. Should refugees be spotted, the
Master and his/her officers should refer to the vessel’s SMS and SSP.
Further guidance on the handling of refugees can be found in section 3.13 Refugees.
