🔍 Key Concepts

• Man overboard (MOB) immediate actions in standard seamanship practice • Difference between protecting the person in the water versus maneuvering the vessel • How time-critical actions differ from follow‑on recovery maneuvers

💭 Think About

• Which single action, taken in the first second or two, most directly increases the person’s chance of survival? • If the person is on the starboard side, how would using rudder or engines immediately affect their safety—could it move the propeller closer to them? • Which options are about vessel positioning and which are about keeping the person afloat and in sight right away?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is instantly possible without delay, regardless of vessel type or speed • Ask which action does not risk pulling the person toward the propeller or under the hull • Confirm which action is focused on immediate life-saving support rather than maneuvering for later recovery
