Question 386Deck Safety70% to pass
You are preparing to take another vessel in tow. Which signal indicates, "Hawser is made fast"?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Firing of a green star signal.
This signal indicates that the hawser (tow line) has been made fast between the towing vessel and the vessel being towed. The firing of a green star signal is the standard visual signal used to communicate this information, as per the regulations and guidelines for towing operations.
The other options are incorrect because they do not correspond to the specific signal used to indicate the hawser is made fast. Three white star rockets, a red star signal, and an orange smoke signal have different meanings and are used for other purposes during towing and signaling operations.
