70% to passAs chief engineer, you are discussing fire safety with a new unlicensed crew member. What would you expect the crew member to know having been onboard the vessel for two days?
AThe starting procedures for the ship's fire pump.
BShip's signals for fire and emergency and abandon ship.
CThe procedures to secure the fire detection system.
DThe release procedures for the low-pressure CO2 system.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Ship's signals for fire and emergency and abandon ship. As a new crew member, the person would be expected to know the basic emergency signals and procedures, including the ship's signals for fire, emergency, and abandon ship. This is a fundamental piece of safety knowledge that all crew members should have, even those who have been onboard for a short time. The other options, while also important, require more specialized knowledge that would not necessarily be expected of a new unlicensed crew member after only two days onboard.
