Question 22 MODU03 - Ballast Control Operator

The Correct Answer is C **Explanation for Option C (all emergency signals):** The muster list is a vital statutory document required on ships (per SOLAS regulations) that ensures every person knows exactly what to do in an emergency. Beyond identifying the muster station, assigned duties, and basic instructions, the list must explicitly include and define **all emergency signals** (general alarm, fire alarm, man overboard, etc.) so that personnel can immediately identify the type of emergency being signaled and proceed with their assigned duties. This ensures a prompt and correct response during a crisis. **Explanation for Incorrect Options:** * **A) work schedule:** While important for daily operations, the work schedule (or watch bill) is a separate administrative document and is not a required component of the statutory emergency muster list. * **B) the time each weekly drill will be held:** The muster list identifies *who* does *what* and *where* during an emergency. The schedule for drills is posted separately, usually on the ship's notice board or in the plan of the day, and is not a permanent fixture of the emergency muster list itself. * **D) instructions for lowering the survival craft:** Detailed instructions for operating and lowering the survival craft (LSA procedures) are typically posted near the craft itself (LSA operating manuals/posters) and are not reproduced in their entirety on the general muster list. The muster list specifies *who* is assigned to *which* boat and their *duties* (e.g., "Boat Deck Crank Handler"), but not the full step-by-step operating manual.
