Si se estima que cualquier parte del mensaje que enviamos justifica, por su importancia, que se verifique, se dirá …..:Under IMO SMCP procedure, if any part of a message we transmit is considered important enough to need safeguarding/verification inside the message, which word is inserted?
Show the answer
Correct answer: a) Repeat.
Why it is correct
Under IMO SMCP General 5.3 (Repetition): 'If any part of the message is considered sufficiently important to need safeguarding, use the word "repeat"' (e.g. 'My draft is 12.6 repeat one-two decimal 6 metres'). By contrast, 'Say again' is used by the receiver to request repetition of an unclear message.
Why the others are not
- b) 'Say again' is used by the listener to ask the sender to repeat a message.
- c) 'Important' is not an SMCP procedure word.
- d) 'Notice' is not the procedure word used to safeguard critical figures.
How to work it out in the exam
- SMCP General 5.3: to safeguard an important part of an outgoing message, insert the word 'repeat'.
