Which information must be included on the muster list regarding each person during emergencies?

• A. The duties and station of each person during emergencies
• B. The person's age
• C. The last port of call
• D. The rank insignia

Answer: (A)

The essential idea is that in an emergency every person must know exactly what they are responsible for and where to report. The muster list provides each crew member’s assigned duty and the station (location or area) where they must report during emergencies. This clarity allows a quick, organized response, with people moving directly to their posts, performing their tasks, and being accountable for their actions. It supports coordinated actions like launching lifeboats, shutting off flood controls, or manning firefighting equipment. Details like age, last port of call, or rank insignia aren’t needed to guide emergency actions, so they aren’t the primary information on the muster list.
