While reading the muster list you see that "3 short blasts on the whistle and three short rings on the general alarm" is the signal for ________.
• Muster list emergency signals used on SOLAS-compliant vessels • Difference between signals for fire and emergency, abandon ship, and man overboard • How the general alarm and ship’s whistle are combined for standard emergency signals
• Think about which emergency requires the crew to go to their emergency stations but not immediately leave the ship. • Recall the internationally standardized pattern for the abandon ship signal and compare it to the pattern in the question. • Ask yourself: which emergency signal is usually announced by voice or PA system rather than only by a specific whistle/general alarm pattern?
• Verify the standard pattern for abandon ship (number and length of blasts/rings). • Check what your muster list or STCW/SOLAS training states for fire/emergency response signals. • Confirm which situations (fire/emergency, man overboard, abandon ship) require mustering at stations versus immediate localized response.
