While proceeding towards a distress site you hear the message "Seelonce Feenee" over the radiotelephone. Which action should you take?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of the distress traffic control signal “Seelonce Feenee” in radiotelephone procedure • Who is allowed to control and terminate radio silence during a distress incident • Difference between distress silence and normal communications on a working/guarded frequency

💭 Think About

• Think about what “Seelonce Feenee” actually announces about the status of the distress traffic: Is the emergency ongoing, or is the control of the frequency being changed? • Ask yourself whether this phrase tells all stations to stop transmitting completely, or whether it changes how the frequency may be used. • Consider what your vessel’s responsibility is once the coordinating/controlling station makes this announcement while you are still routed toward the scene.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the standard GMDSS/radiotelephone meanings of “Seelonce Mayday” versus “Seelonce Feenee.” • Check who has authority to declare radio silence and who may later cancel or relax that silence. • Confirm whether, after “Seelonce Feenee,” the guarded distress frequency returns to normal traffic use or if silence must still be maintained.
