🔍 Key Concepts

• Fleet Broadband (FBB) distress procedures per Inmarsat guidance • Difference between voice SOS calls and Distress alerts with priority pre-emption • Role of a dedicated Distress button vs dialing short codes like 505

💭 Think About

• Which method guarantees that the system will automatically assign the highest possible priority and interrupt other traffic? • Does an FBB terminal rely on dialing a number for its formal distress alert, or is there a specific control or button designed for this purpose? • Look at which options involve the FBB terminal itself versus a separate connected device and think about which one is normally used to alert shore authorities directly.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how an Inmarsat FleetBroadband Distress alert is normally initiated (voice call vs data alert). • Check which equipment (FBB handset vs connected safety terminal) is specified in training materials as the primary means of sending a priority pre-emptive Distress alert. • Confirm whether 505 is associated with a general emergency/SOS voice call or a GMDSS-style Distress alert with automatic pre-emption.
