🔍 Key Concepts

• Post-collision priorities: life safety comes first, then preventing loss of the vessel and pollution • Damage control basics: how to determine if the hull has been breached or if flooding is occurring • Regulatory vs emergency actions: paperwork (e.g., CG-2692 report) timing compared to immediate safety actions

💭 Think About

• After you have sounded the alarm and accounted for your crew, what is the next logical step to protect the boat from sinking or further damage? • Which choice helps you quickly determine whether the collision caused damage below the waterline or endangered the vessel’s buoyancy and stability? • Which options are more about longer-term/administrative actions versus immediate emergency response actions?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option directly checks the vessel’s integrity and risk of flooding right after a collision • Separate actions that are immediate emergency responses from those that are follow-up or investigation/reporting steps • Ask yourself which choices could actually make the situation worse or are unsafe practices in damage assessment (especially involving fuel systems)
