lifeboat drill
Ship emergency practice
A lifeboat drill is a practice exercise aboard a ship where passengers and crew rehearse emergency evacuation procedures—locating life jackets, proceeding to muster stations, and boarding lifeboats.
Maritime regulations require these drills, typically conducted shortly after departure: The captain announced a lifeboat drill for all passengers at 4 p.m.
