You notice the vessel's man overboard recovery sling or ladder is worn, stiff, or hasn't been checked in a long time. What's the right thing to do?

A. Use a length of pot rope as a temporary substitute if needed

B. Report it to the skipper and make sure it's repaired or replaced before the next trip — recovery gear has to work for someone who may be unconscious or unable to help themselves

C. Make a mental note to mention it if it's ever actually needed

D. Assume the skipper already knows, since checking equipment is their responsibility

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
