🔍 Key Concepts

• EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) normal operation and how/when it activates • SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) purpose and how it is used with survival craft • Manufacturer/USCG guidance on manual vs. automatic activation of distress equipment when abandoning ship

💭 Think About

• Think about what you want search and rescue units to see and hear once you are already in the survival craft. What actions would make you easier to locate? • Consider whether these beacons always work automatically in every scenario, or whether best practice is to take positive action with them once you are in the raft or boat. • Ask yourself: which option describes a realistic, simple action that trained crew would be expected to carry out right after boarding a liferaft or lifeboat?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how an EPIRB is normally secured and whether it always self-activates in every abandonment scenario. • Check how a SART is supposed to be used with a radar-equipped rescue vessel and whether it must be placed in any particular mode or position. • Eliminate any choice that assumes no action is needed if that conflicts with standard abandon‑ship and survival craft procedures.

Question 1 of 20

Which step should be taken, if possible, when the vessel must be abandoned because of a distress situation?

Alert the U.S. Coast Guard by using the survival craft's portable INMARSAT unit.

Place the SART and EPIRB in the "ON" position and secure them to the survival craft.

Program the SART and EPIRB to transmit the vessel's location and situation.

No additional steps are needed as the SART and EPIRB will both automatically float free and operate properly.
