🔍 Key Concepts

• International Code of Signals (INTERCO) and how two-letter hoists are used for special meanings • Special signals for icebreaker operations and how they inform nearby vessels about the stage of assistance • Difference between a vessel’s condition (e.g., trapped) and the status of support operations (starting, ongoing, or completed)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Does this two-letter signal describe what the icebreaker is physically experiencing (like being stuck), or what stage of assistance it is providing to others? • Consider how an icebreaker would logically inform nearby traffic when they should start forming up or can disperse after an escort. • Think about which options describe a temporary operational status versus a more long‑term condition of the vessel.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how two-letter INTERCO hoists are commonly used for standardized operational messages, not detailed narratives. • Check which choices describe an operational phase (start/finish of support) rather than a problem state (stuck or icebound). • Be sure you distinguish between an icebreaker that is unable to move and an icebreaker that is ending its organized support to other vessels.
