🔍 Key Concepts

• Radio distress traffic control procedures under GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) • The meaning and proper use of "Seelonce Mayday" and who is authorized to impose radio silence • Standard IMO/ITU distress phrases versus non-standard or incorrect procedures

💭 Think About

• Which option reflects an internationally recognized phrase specifically used to control radio traffic during a distress situation? • Who normally has the authority to order silence on a distress frequency, and under what circumstances can another vessel do it? • Do any of the choices involve non-standard phrases or methods that are not part of ITU/IMO distress communication procedures?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which phrases are officially defined in distress and urgency communication procedures (ITU/IMO/USCG) • Eliminate any options that rely on made-up words or letter codes that are not standard for distress traffic control • Confirm that the chosen action helps to reduce interference with the distress traffic rather than add to the congestion
