🔍 Key Concepts

• Damage control priorities on board a vessel (people, vessel, environment) • How loss of buoyancy and stability from flooding affects survival time • Relationship between firefighting actions and potential for increased flooding (e.g., from firefighting water)

💭 Think About

• Which casualty—fire or uncontrolled flooding—will usually make you lose the entire vessel the quickest if not controlled? • If you focus on restoring services or fighting fire first, what could happen to the vessel’s stability and ability to remain afloat? • In a real emergency, what must be preserved before anything else on the ship can be safely restored or controlled?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you consider buoyancy and stability as the foundation for all other emergency actions. • Think about whether restoring services or fighting fire is useful if the vessel is already in danger of sinking. • Ask yourself if waiting to address flooding only when a threat exists makes sense once damage has already occurred.
