An emergency situation aboard a vessel is typically indicated by alarms, distress signals, or urgent announcements over the ship's communication system. Visual cues, such as smoke, fire, or water ingress, also signal an emergency. Additionally, crew members may initiate emergency procedures, including the deployment of life-saving equipment or evacuation protocols, to ensure passenger safety.
Orange smoke blowing from a boat typically indicates a distress signal, often used to signify an emergency situation where immediate assistance is needed. It may suggest a fire aboard or that the vessel is in trouble, such as a capsizing or sinking. The smoke serves as a visual alert for nearby vessels or rescue teams to locate the distressed boat quickly.
In an emergency situation aboard a vessel, a red light at the stern typically signifies that the vessel is not under command and has limited ability to maneuver. This is a signal to other vessels to proceed with caution and give way to the vessel displaying the red light. It is important for other vessels to maintain a safe distance and be prepared to assist if needed.
