Question 153 Deck Safety

70% to pass

Your vessel has been damaged and is taking on water, but you do not require immediate assistance. You would preface a message advising other vessels of your situation with _______________.

A Mayday-Mayday-Mayday
B Securite-Securite-Securite
C Pan-Pan
D D
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Pan-Pan. The reason Pan-Pan is the correct choice is that it indicates a vessel is in distress, but does not require immediate assistance. Mayday-Mayday-Mayday is used for a vessel in grave and immediate danger, while Securite-Securite-Securite is used to convey a safety message, such as a navigational hazard. Pan-Pan indicates the vessel is damaged and taking on water, but does not require immediate rescue, which fits the given scenario. The other options are incorrect because Mayday indicates an emergency requiring immediate assistance, and Securite is used for a safety message, not a distress situation.
