🔍 Key Concepts

• General alarm meaning and purpose on a ship • Order of actions during emergency response in the engine room • Difference between automatic actions you can safely do alone vs. actions that require command from the bridge or emergency party

💭 Think About

• What does the continuous general alarm signal tell you to do in terms of reporting, mustering, and awaiting instructions? • Which of these options, if done without orders, could make the situation worse or remove vital ship capabilities (propulsion, firefighting ability, or safety systems)? • In a real emergency, what is the first thing an engineer on watch must determine before taking specific technical actions like starting pumps or releasing CO₂?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what your station bill/emergency station card says about your first duty on hearing the general alarm while on watch in the engine room. • Identify which options involve irreversible or dangerous actions (for example, releasing CO₂ into machinery spaces) that normally require explicit command and confirmation of evacuation. • Confirm which action focuses on following the emergency organization and communication chain rather than immediately manipulating machinery without information about the emergency type.
