Question 192Deck Safety70% to pass
While proceeding to a distress site, you hear the words "Seelonce mayday" on the radiotelephone. Which action should you take?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Monitor the radiotelephone but do not transmit.
The phrase "Seelonce mayday" indicates that the distress situation is being handled by the appropriate authorities, and no further transmissions are required from vessels in the area. By monitoring the radiotelephone without transmitting, you can stay informed of the situation without potentially interfering with the ongoing response efforts. The other options are incorrect because they would either potentially disrupt the established procedures (A and D) or are no longer appropriate given the "Seelonce mayday" message (C).
