Question 51 QMED05 - Machinist-Pump Technician

The Correct Answer is B **Explanation for why option B ("all emergency signals") is correct:** The Muster List (often called a Station Bill, especially in maritime contexts) is the legally mandated document outlining the organization of the crew for emergency situations, particularly abandonment. While it details duties, stations, and basic instructions, a crucial element it must clearly show is the various emergency signals—such as the general alarm signal (seven short blasts followed by one long blast) and the signal for abandoning ship—so that every crew member understands what action to take when those specific signals are heard. This ensures rapid and coordinated response during a crisis. **Explanation for why the other options are incorrect:** * **A) the time each weekly drill will be held:** While drills are required and scheduled, the Muster List itself defines *what* happens during an emergency, not the routine administrative timing of when practice drills are scheduled to occur. Drill schedules are typically handled via separate operational planning. * **C) instructions for lowering the survival capsule:** This option is too specific. While the Muster List covers deployment duties for lifeboats and survival craft, detailed operating instructions for specialized equipment like a single survival capsule (if present) are typically found in the equipment's operating manual or posted near the device, not fully encompassed as a defining element of the general Muster List document itself. * **D) work schedule:** The work schedule relates to daily operations and maintenance (e.g., watch rotation, maintenance assignments). The Muster List is strictly an emergency organization chart and does not include the normal, non-emergency working hours or duties of the crew.
