If you wished to transmit a message by voice concerning the safety of navigation, you would preface it by the word __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Distress vs. urgency vs. safety priorities in radiotelephone procedures • Standard radiotelephony prowords used before safety, urgency, and distress calls • Order of priority for Mayday, Pan-pan, and safety messages

💭 Think About

• First, match each proword (Mayday, Pan-pan, Securite/Sécurité) with the correct type of situation: distress, urgency, or safety of navigation/important warnings. • Ask yourself: in which type of situation is there immediate danger to a vessel or life, and which proword is reserved ONLY for that? • Consider which proword is used for important safety information (like navigation hazards or weather warnings) that does NOT mean a vessel is currently in grave and imminent danger.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which call is defined as a distress call (highest priority, grave and imminent danger). • Verify which call is defined as an urgency call (urgent but not immediately life‑threatening). • Verify which call is used for safety messages about navigation or important meteorological warnings, and which word must be spoken three times to start that call.
