🔍 Key Concepts

• Man overboard maneuvering priorities (immediate helm vs. marking the position) • Difference between conning orders (rudder commands) and recovery actions (lifesaving gear) • Which actions the helmsman vs. the crew on deck would normally take first

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: As the person on the wheel, what type of order will you hear first—rudder command or lifesaving equipment command? • Which option would most quickly begin turning the ship’s head toward or around the person in the water, considering they went over the starboard side? • Think about classic Williamson turn / Anderson turn concepts: which initial rudder direction is used when the casualty is on the starboard side?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which actions are helm orders (rudder commands) versus deck actions (throwing equipment). • Check which rudder direction will initially place the ship’s stern and propeller away from the person who fell over the starboard side. • Confirm that the first command you’d expect as helmsman is about the rudder position, not about what someone on deck does with lifesaving gear.
