Question 26 MODU03 - Ballast Control Operator

The Correct Answer is D. **Why Option D ("all emergency signals") is correct:** The Muster List (often called the Station Bill) is a mandatory document required under SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) regulations. Its primary purpose is to ensure that in an emergency, every individual knows exactly where to go and what to do. Beyond assigning stations and duties, the Muster List must clearly define and describe the various emergency signals used aboard the vessel (e.g., general alarm, fire alarm, man overboard, and abandonment signal) so that personnel can immediately recognize and react appropriately to the specific type of emergency. **Why the other options are incorrect:** * **A) work schedule:** A person's standard work schedule is maintained by the department head (e.g., engineering log or crew list) and is not a necessary component of the official, posted emergency Muster List. * **B) the time each weekly drill will be held:** While drills are mandatory and their timing is scheduled, the Muster List itself typically does not dictate the schedule of future drills. It focuses on procedures and assignments *during* an actual emergency or drill, not the administrative scheduling of the drills. * **C) instructions for lowering the lifeboats:** While crew members assigned to lifeboats must be trained in lowering procedures, the full, detailed, step-by-step instructions for operating the lifeboat davits are typically found in separate operating manuals or displayed near the davit itself, not fully reproduced as a main component of the generalized Muster List for the entire crew. The Muster List simply directs the assigned person to the lifeboat and specifies their duties (e.g., "Coxswain," "Operator," "Brake Release").
