An oiler was badly burned and you are communicating with a passenger ship that has a doctor and hospital on board. You want to rendezvous in a certain position so the oiler can be evacuated for medical treatment. Which code should your message contain?

A MAA
B MAF
C MAB
D MAE
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) MAB. The code "MAB" is used to request a medical evacuation or rendezvous for a medical emergency. This code indicates that there is a medical situation requiring urgent medical assistance or transport to a medical facility. The other options are incorrect: - MAA is the code for a general distress signal, which is not specific to a medical emergency. - MAF is the code for a medical advisory, which is used to provide information about a medical situation but does not request a rendezvous or evacuation. - MAE is not a recognized code in the International Code of Signals used for maritime communications.
