Q

Which is TRUE if you are transmitting a distress message by radiotelephone?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Distress radiotelephone procedures in the GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) era • Standard language requirements for distress and safety communications at sea • Difference between plain language distress calls and coded systems like the International Code of Signals

💭 Think About

• When a vessel is in distress and using voice (radiotelephone), what language is required so that all stations and rescue authorities can understand? • Does a modern radiotelephone distress call normally rely on code groups (flags or groups of letters), or on clearly spoken words and phrases? • Which options describe older or non-voice signaling methods, and which describe the standard voice distress procedure?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what language is specified for distress, urgency, and safety communications by radio at sea • Check whether the International Code of Signals is primarily for visual/flag and coded signaling or for normal voice radiotelephone distress calls • Confirm if an alarm signal is automatically associated more with DSC (Digital Selective Calling) and not necessarily with every spoken distress message
