Your vessel is not the first on scene but arrives to assist an ongoing SAR operation coordinated by an MRCC. What should you do before independently choosing your own search area?

A. Immediately begin searching wherever seems most convenient based on your own judgement alone

B. Establish communication with the MRCC or the designated On-Scene Coordinator, obtain your assigned search area/pattern and any datum updates, and conduct your search within that coordinated plan — searching independently without coordination risks duplicating effort in already-searched areas while leaving other areas unsearched

C. Wait offshore and take no action until directly hailed by name

D. Search only the area closest to your current position regardless of instructions

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

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

C. Testing should wait until cargo operations begin

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

A. Only the weather forecast for the next watch

B. The lunch schedule for the deck team

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

D. The cargo manifest for the next port
