In the maritime and maritime industries, damage control is the control of emergency situations that could lead to sinking of water vessels.

The example is:

• rupture of pipe or stomach especially below water level and
• damage from grounding or docked against the dock.
• temporary fixes of bombs or explosive damage.

Simple steps can stop flooding, such as:

• locks the damaged area of ​​the other ship compartments;
• blocked the damaged area by binding the box around the tear in the hull of the ship,
• put a thin sheet of steel band around a tear in the pipe, bound by a clamp.

More complicated steps may be required if repairs have to take pressure from boats moving through water. As an example:

• Thermal spear cuts around the rupture.
• Welding of oxyacetylene or electric arc welding from plate above fracture.
• Fast dry cement is applied under water on top of the rupture.

Damage control training is carried out by most seafarers, but the most experienced technical staff in making long-term improvements.

The damage control is different from the fire department. Fire damage control methods are based on ship class and serve the delivery of special equipment on board.
