Question 352 Deck Safety

70% to pass

If another station sent you the signal "KG", what would this indicate?

A telling you he has flooded a hold
B telling you he found an aircraft wreckage
C asking you if you needed a tug
D telling you to stay clear
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) asking you if you needed a tug. The signal "KG" is a procedure signal used in maritime communication, which typically indicates a request for assistance. In this case, the signal "KG" would be requesting whether the receiving station (you) requires the assistance of a tug or towboat. This is a standard communication protocol for vessels needing help or support from other vessels or shore-based resources. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the meaning of the "KG" signal. The signal does not indicate a flooded hold (A), the finding of an aircraft wreckage (B), or a directive to stay clear (D). These interpretations do not match the established meaning of the "KG" procedure signal in maritime communications.
