🔍 Key Concepts

• Problem-solving sequence in decision-making (what comes first, then what follows) • Difference between root cause and symptoms/evidence of a problem • Why identifying what you can clearly observe is usually the first practical step on a vessel

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when something seems wrong on board, what is the very first thing you are realistically able to identify—deep underlying causes or what you can see and measure? • Think about how you would brief the Master or the Coast Guard: what do you report first—your theory about why it happened or what is actually happening? • Which of these choices best describes the concrete, observable starting point that lets you later analyze causes?

✅ Before You Answer

• Distinguish between observable signs (what you can detect right away) and underlying cause (what you figure out later). • Check which option describes something you can reliably identify before you fully understand the situation. • Eliminate any option that sounds like a later analysis step instead of the immediate first step.
