Your towboat has just been involved in a collision. Which is the FIRST action you should take?
• Hierarchy of emergency actions after a collision • Purpose of a general alarm on board • Immediate actions to protect life, vessel, and environment
• Right after a collision, what must everyone on board be able to do within seconds, before any external communication or secondary systems are used? • Which option most directly alerts all crew simultaneously that there is a potential emergency requiring their immediate response? • Which actions can safely wait until after the crew has been warned and the situation is initially assessed?
• Identify which choice is the fastest way to notify all personnel on board of a potential emergency • Check which actions are internal vs. external responses (shipboard vs. office/authorities) • Consider which systems should be activated only after the nature of the damage (fire, flooding, loss of control) has been confirmed
