Question 152 Deck Safety

70% to pass

The radiotelephone safety message urgently concerned with safety of a person would be prefixed by the word _______________.

A Mayday
B Safety
C Pan
D Interco
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Pan. The Pan-Pan urgency signal is used to indicate that there is a situation of urgency, but that immediate assistance is not required. This type of message is used when there is a person in distress, but their life is not in immediate danger. The Pan-Pan prefix is used to alert other vessels or stations that there is a safety-related issue that needs to be addressed, but it is not as urgent as a Mayday distress call. The other options are incorrect because Mayday is used for life-threatening emergencies, Safety is not a standard prefix for radiotelephone messages, and Interco is not a recognized prefix for maritime emergency communications.
