🔍 Key Concepts

• Muster and boat station signals used on merchant ships under SOLAS • Difference between general emergency alarm and whistle/ship’s whistle signals during boat launching • Standard sequence of commands for manning, preparing, and lowering lifeboats

💭 Think About

• Think about what stage of the abandon ship process you are in if you are already AT your lifeboat station and then hear two short blasts. • Ask yourself: is this signal more likely to start an action, stop an action, or completely end the evolution? • Consider the usual order: general alarm → report to stations → prepare boats → adjust or change the status of lowering. Where would two short blasts logically fit?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the standard meanings of short blast signals in lifeboat drills in your training materials or company/shipboard station bill. • Check which command would be given before any boat is moved and which would be used to halt or modify an ongoing operation. • Confirm that "abandon ship" is normally signaled by a general alarm and whistle pattern, not just two short blasts.
