🔍 Key Concepts

• General alarm and how it is sounded on ships • Difference between signals for fire/emergency, abandon ship, and man overboard • How long the ship’s whistle and bells are typically used for each type of emergency

💭 Think About

• Think about which emergency requires getting everyone’s immediate attention no matter where they are on the vessel. • Which situation would most likely use a different, more localized or verbal signal rather than a prolonged ship’s whistle? • Consider standard shipboard emergency drills: when you hear the continuous alarm and whistle, what are you normally told to muster for?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how the general alarm is defined in your training materials or SOLAS-based drills. • Check which emergencies use continuous ringing/whistle for at least 10 seconds rather than short or repeated blasts. • Confirm which option corresponds to the initial response signal that sends crew and passengers to their emergency/muster stations.
