🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS Muster List requirements for duties during emergencies • Difference between man overboard, fire emergency, and abandon ship signals and actions • Typical engine room responsibilities when a general alarm or continuous alarm is sounded

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: What does a continuous sounding of the general alarm usually indicate about the seriousness and type of emergency? • Which action would normally follow the master’s order to abandon ship, especially for engine room personnel? • Which options describe actions that are too specific to one type of emergency, versus a general emergency/abandon ship response?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what the general alarm and any continuous sounding usually signal according to the muster list and emergency instructions posted on board. • Check which option matches the normal response for abandon ship (think: lifejackets and assigned station). • Eliminate choices that relate specifically to man overboard or only fire-fighting duties rather than a full abandon-ship response.
