Show the answer
Correct answer: a) What is your ETA at distress position?
Why it is correct
In IMO SMCP SAR communications (section A1/1.2), the location of the casualty is termed 'distress position' and takes the preposition 'at' after ETA: 'What is your ETA at distress position?'.
Why the others are not
- b) In the SMCP a distress location is called 'distress position', not 'dangerous position'.
- c) Does not follow standard IMO SMCP wording.
- d) The standard phrase is 'at distress position', not 'to the distress situation'.
How to work it out in the exam
- Estimated time of arrival at the casualty (SMCP): 'What is your ETA at distress position?'.
