🔍 Key Concepts

• Mustering and abandon ship signals under SOLAS and typical company station bills • Difference between signals for boat stations/prepare to abandon ship and commence lowering lifeboats • Use of ship's whistle and general alarm for emergency signals

💭 Think About

• First recall what signal is used to CALL everyone to the lifeboat/boat stations. Then ask yourself: is that same signal also used to BEGIN lowering the boats, or is a different, simpler signal used? • Think about practicality: when crew are standing by in the boats, which length and number of blasts would be easiest to hear, recognize quickly, and not confuse with other standard emergency signals? • Compare each choice with the well-known general alarm/abandon-ship signal. Which option clearly is NOT the standard general alarm pattern?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify the standard general emergency/abandon ship signal pattern and eliminate that option from the choices. • Ask: which pattern (long vs short, single vs multiple) is commonly reserved for a distinct, follow‑up order such as starting lowering after everyone is embarked? • Verify that the signal you pick would be simple, unmistakable, and not easily confused with other whistle signals (like maneuvering signals in the COLREGS).
