70% to passOn a vessel classed for a periodically unmanned engine room, which of the below listed events will trigger the annunciation of the engineer's assistance needed alarm?
AFailure of the duty engineer to conduct a machinery space round every four hours.
BFailure of the duty engineer to acknowledge an ECC alarm in a reasonable period of time.
CFailure of the duty engineer to contact the bridge watch in the agreed-upon time.
DLoss of the backup power supply to the ECC alarm system.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Failure of the duty engineer to acknowledge an ECC alarm in a reasonable period of time. On a vessel with a periodically unmanned engine room, the engineer's assistance needed alarm is triggered when the duty engineer fails to acknowledge an alarm from the Engine Control Center (ECC) within a reasonable period of time. This is a safety requirement to ensure that any machinery issues or emergencies are promptly addressed, even when the engine room is temporarily unattended. The other options, such as failure to conduct routine rounds or contact the bridge, are not directly tied to the triggering of the engineer's assistance alarm.
