🔍 Key Concepts

• Distress, urgency, and safety levels of marine radio calls on VHF Channel 16 / 2182 kHz • Standard internationally recognized voice signals: MAYDAY, PAN-PAN, SECURITE • The difference between being in grave and imminent danger versus needing help without immediate danger

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which word is reserved only when there is an immediate threat to life, vessel, or environment? • Which signal is used to alert others to important safety information, such as navigational warnings or weather messages, but not specifically to request help for your own vessel? • Which signal is specifically for urgent situations requiring prompt assistance, but where there is no immediate danger to life or the vessel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which term is defined as a distress call in marine communications procedures • Confirm which term is associated with safety messages like navigation or weather broadcasts • Identify which term is matched with urgency (needing quick help but not in immediate peril) in radio operations guidance
