After an explosion, repair of emergency machinery and services should be accomplished __________.
• Emergency response priorities: life safety, fire control, flooding control, then preservation of the ship • Relationship between fire, flooding, and stability after an explosion • Purpose of emergency machinery and services (fire pumps, emergency generators, bilge/ballast systems, communications)
• In a real explosion scenario, what must be brought under control first to avoid losing the ship entirely? • How could starting repairs too early on machinery affect fire spread, flooding, or crew safety? • Think about the sequence: at what point is it safe AND useful to restore or repair emergency machinery so it actually helps the response?
• Identify which choice best reflects the standard order of priorities: protect life → control fire → control flooding → then restore/repair systems • Check which option suggests working on machinery while the situation is still unstable or uncontrolled—those are less likely to be correct • Ask: At which stage would damaged emergency machinery be safely accessible without putting repair teams in immediate danger from fire, flooding, or structural collapse?
