As 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?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — Ship's signals for fire and emergency and abandon ship.
Safety Familiarization, as required by STCW and 46 CFR, mandates that all new crew members must understand emergency signals, muster stations, and basic survival procedures within their first few days. Knowing the fire and abandon ship signals is critical for immediate response to life-threatening emergencies on board.
