Your examiner asks: "What is the ongoing (not just newly-joined-crew) drill participation requirement under SOLAS Chapter III, and how often?"

A. Every crew member must participate in at least one ABANDON SHIP drill and one FIRE drill EVERY MONTH. This is a standing, recurring obligation independent of the 24-hour/25%-crew-change trigger — even a stable crew with no recent joiners must still be drilled monthly, every month, for the duration of their service on board, not just once on joining.

B. Abandon ship and fire drills are required only once per crew member's entire contract, typically during the first week on board, with no recurring monthly obligation thereafter.

C. The monthly drill requirement applies to fire drills only; abandon ship drills are required just once per calendar year regardless of crew stability.

D. Drill frequency under SOLAS III is left entirely to flag state discretion with no baseline international minimum frequency specified for abandon ship or fire drills.

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
