Q

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND If you saw flames aboard a vessel but could see the vessel was not on fire, what would this indicate?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Annex IV – Distress Signals of the Navigation Rules • Use of flames on the vessel as a visual signal • Difference between normal operations vs. emergency/distress indications

💭 Think About

• When would someone intentionally show visible flames on a vessel if the vessel itself is not burning? • Which of these options describes a situation where immediate help from other vessels or authorities would be appropriate? • Do aircraft identification lights or pilot boat signals normally involve open flames, or something else?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option clearly represents a distress / emergency condition • Confirm that flames on a vessel are listed in Navigation Rules Annex IV as a recognized signal • Eliminate any answers that describe routine or non‑emergency activities rather than an urgent situation
