🔍 Key Concepts

• General emergency alarm signals under SOLAS and company emergency manuals • Differences between alarms for fire, man overboard, and collision/flooding • Use of the ship’s whistle plus general alarm bells together vs bells only or voice announcements

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which situation requires alerting everyone on board immediately to report to their emergency stations? • Think about what signal is used during boat drills and printed on the emergency muster card on cabin doors. • Consider which emergencies might use other methods (like repeated voice announcements, three long blasts, or specific PA messages) instead of one long continuous combined signal.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check what your muster station card / station bill says for the ‘general emergency’ signal. • Verify which emergency uses a continuous signal of not less than 10 seconds, rather than a series of short or long blasts. • Confirm which option describes an emergency that normally triggers muster and preparation for possible abandonment, not just local response.
