🔍 Key Concepts

• GMDSS distress procedures and the role of ship stations vs. coast stations • The responsibility of the Master (or person in charge) when a distress alert is received • Difference between distress, urgency, and safety (navigational warnings) traffic priorities

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when a ship receives a DSC or other distress alert, what is the very first obligation on board before any external transmissions are made? • Consider who is formally responsible for deciding what action the ship will take after receiving a distress alert. • Think about which type of traffic (distress, urgency, safety, routine) has the highest priority, and where navigational hazard warnings fall in that order.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option mentions informing the Master/person responsible and how quickly that must be done. • Check whether GMDSS procedures require ships to immediately transmit acknowledgements/relays, or whether that is normally coordinated first by a coast station/RCC. • Confirm that distress traffic has absolute priority, and compare where navigational hazard (safety) messages fit in the priority list.

Which statement is true regarding the receipt and acknowledgement of Distress alerts by ship stations?

Ship stations in receipt of a Distress alert should acknowledge it immediately to assist the coast station in responding to the Distress alert.

A ship station that receives a Distress alert must, as soon as possible , inform the Master or person responsible for the ship of the contents of the Distress alert.

Ship stations that receive a Distress alert from a vessel in their vicinity must immediately send a DSC relay to inform the RCC.

Alerts concerning navigational hazards are second only to Safety traffic.
