1. A method for distributed muster for ocean-going vessels, the method comprising:
associating in memory of a computing system, each of different mobile computing devices both with a corresponding passenger amongst a set of passengers of the one of the multiplicity of the ocean-going vessels, and also with an assigned one of a multiplicity of muster locations of one of a multiplicity of ocean-going vessels;
streaming over a computer communications network to selected ones of the passengers in the set, a muster safety video;
initiating a time period in memory of the computing system during which a muster drill must be completed by all of the passengers in the set for the one of the multiplicity of the ocean-going vessels;
during the time period, as each one of the mobile devices is sensed within a geographically defined area of a correspondingly assigned different one of the muster locations, displaying in a user interface of the one of the mobile devices, a set of questions pertaining to the muster safety video, receiving answers to the questions in the user interface and recording in the memory a visitation by the corresponding passenger of the one of the mobile devices to the correspondingly assigned different one of the muster stations along with the answers to the questions for each one of the mobile devices; and,
subsequent to a lapsing of the time period indicating a completion of the muster drill, querying a video review database to determine those of the passengers not having been recorded as having visited the correspondingly assigned different one of the muster stations and displaying in a display of the computing system, a listing of any of the set of passengers not recorded in the memory as having both visited a correspondingly assigned different one of the muster stations and also having provided answers to the questions.
