Emergency could be for real or just a drill. Emergency has codes on ships as on any other transportation means. On real cases, could be a fire, man overboard, flood or really bad weather, when all personnel gather to solve the situation using a proven system. Could be medical, as someone on the ship gets sick or even dies. In that case, the doctor and his team are called to fulfill their duties. A special party is used when, on bad weather some other ships are in trouble and they call for help. Could mean a lot of things, but in general, is just a drill, training people to respond in real emergency situations.
