Question 48 QMED02 - Electrician-Refrigerating Engineer

The Correct Answer is A **Why Option A ("all emergency signals") is correct:** The Muster List (or Station Bill) is a mandatory document on ships that assigns every crew member to specific duties and locations during emergencies, particularly abandonment. To ensure immediate and correct action, the list must clearly outline not only the duties and station assignments but also the means by which the crew will be alerted. Therefore, listing **all emergency signals** (such as general alarm, fire, and man overboard signals) is essential so that personnel know exactly what each distinct signal means and can proceed to their assigned muster stations immediately. This is a core regulatory requirement (SOLAS V/24 and related IMO standards). **Why the other options are incorrect:** * **Option B ("work schedule") is incorrect:** While the crew has a work schedule, this operational detail is kept separately and is not a function of the emergency-focused Muster List. The Muster List is purely for emergency assignments. * **Option C ("instructions for lowering the survival capsule") is incorrect:** While instructions for lifeboat deployment are necessary, they are typically found in the boat’s specific manual and in procedural placards near the station. The Muster List itself provides the personnel assignments and basic actions (e.g., "report to lifeboat 1," "release the brake"), not the full, detailed technical instructions for lowering the craft. * **Option D ("the time each weekly drill will be held") is incorrect:** The timing of drills is an administrative/operational detail. The Muster List is a document detailing *what* duties and *where* to go during an actual emergency; it does not set the schedule for routine training exercises.
