🔍 Key Concepts

• List signals for lifeboat launching on passenger/merchant ships • Difference between slight list and dangerous list for using chutes/davits • What it means when a signal light is shown on the high side vs low side of a listing vessel

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is one white light used to indicate a serious list that interferes with launching, or a small list that is still manageable? • Which options describe how many degrees of list would be important to know before deciding how to direct chutes or launch lifeboats? • Look at the answer choices that mention the side of the vessel where the light is shown—what is that light really telling you: degree of list, side to launch from, or that there is effectively no list?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what one white light (by itself) means in standard list signal codes used on SOLAS passenger ships. • Check whether the list degree that triggers a list signal is normally very small (about 1°) or more pronounced (over 5°). • Confirm whether the light’s position (high side vs side lit) is meant to tell you which side is higher/lower or how to direct chutes.
