🔍 Key Concepts

• EGC (Enhanced Group Call) Distress priority messages and their mandatory nature for SOLAS ships • Obligations of masters under SOLAS Chapter V – Safety of Navigation, especially responding to distress and SAR (Search and Rescue) situations • Role of the RCC (Rescue Coordination Center) in coordinating SAR and how ships are tasked or released

💭 Think About

• Does an EGC Distress message simply provide information, or does it trigger a duty to take specific actions on board? • What are you required to do immediately on the ship (alarm, master, logging) versus what actions are decided and directed later by the RCC? • Is an individual ship always free to decide on its own whether to participate, or is there a formal process for being assigned or released from SAR duties?

✅ Before You Answer

• Carefully note that Distress priority is different from Safety or Routine – does this change your obligation to respond? • Identify which option includes both immediate onboard actions (alarm/master) and coordination with RCC, rather than acting independently. • Verify that the choice you select matches the idea that the RCC coordinates and controls which vessels will participate in the SAR and when they are released.
