Question 994 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) 53. The symbol 53 represents an international shore connection on a Fire Control Plan, as per the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and the associated Fire Safety Systems (FSS) Code. This type of connection allows the ship's fire main to be connected to the shore-based water supply, enabling the use of land-based firefighting resources in an emergency. The other answer choices do not represent the international shore connection symbol. Option B) 51 is the symbol for a fire hydrant, C) 49 is the symbol for a sprinkler system, and D) 54 is the symbol for a fire main.
