To which station should the pointer proceed during a MOB exercise?

• A. Bridge
• B. Foredeck
• C. MOB Station
• D. Engine Room

Answer: (C)

In a man overboard drill, the person who spots the MOB needs to move to the MOB Station because this is the designated control point for coordinating the rescue. The MOB Station is where the crew organize the recovery: they monitor the overboard location, communicate with the helm, and manage the equipment you’ll use—like markers, lines, and life rings. Being at this central station keeps you connected to the action and the people who are steering the vessel, so you can relay information quickly and help execute the recovery efficiently. Going to the Bridge, Foredeck, or Engine Room would pull you away from the coordination point and slow down the rescue.
