Before taking a lone night watch, what if you were simply told the wheelhouse "has a watch alarm fitted" — based on the Crystal Stream findings, what should you specifically verify before relying on that statement?

A. Only whether the alarm has a valid certificate from its last survey, since certification is the only meaningful indicator of function

B. Whether the watch alarm is actually connected to the autopilot (per MGN 313 (F)) and is operating — test that it sounds at the set interval and genuinely requires an active acknowledgement, not just that the unit exists in the wheelhouse

C. Nothing further — if a watch alarm is fitted, that is sufficient to rely on during a lone watch

D. Whether the alarm is loud enough to be heard from the deck, as this is the only relevant test for a fishing vessel

A. Nothing — a test lift can proceed immediately after repairs

B. Testing should wait until cargo operations begin

C. The area within the grab's swing radius should be cleared of personnel before the lift

D. Only the crane operator needs to be aware the lift is happening

A. Who must remain clear of the exclusion zone while the lift takes place

B. The lunch schedule for the deck team

C. Only the weather forecast for the next watch

D. The cargo manifest for the next port
