Question 194 Deck Safety

70% to pass

While proceeding towards a distress site you hear the message "Seelonce Feenee" over the radiotelephone. Which action should you take?

A Do not transmit over the radiotelephone.
B Resume base course and speed because the distress situation is over.
C Relay the initial distress message to the nearest shore station.
D Resume normal communications on the guarded frequency.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Resume normal communications on the guarded frequency. The term "Seelonce Feenee" is used in radiotelephone communications to indicate that the distress situation is over and normal communications can resume on the guarded frequency. This means that the distress has been resolved, and you can return to your regular radio operations without interfering with the distress communications. The other options are incorrect because A) would prevent you from communicating even though the distress is over, B) would be the wrong action since the distress is no longer ongoing, and C) would be unnecessary since the initial distress message has already been relayed.
