What information is included on the muster list (Station Bill)?

• A. Each person's lifeboat station, duties during abandonment, basic instructions, and all emergency signals
• B. The ship's speed and course
• C. Crew members' contact numbers
• D. Medical fitness certificates

Answer: (C)

The muster list (station bill) is a tool for immediate, organized action in an emergency. It records each crew member’s assigned station (lifeboat or muster point), their duties during abandonment, and the basic instructions and signals needed to perform those tasks. This combination ensures everyone knows where to go, what to do, and how to respond to alarms or instructions, enabling a quick and coordinated evacuation or emergency response. Personal contact numbers or unrelated documents aren’t part of this list; those belong in other records. The muster list focuses on how the crew will operate together when the ship is under distress, in line with SOLAS requirements for orderly evacuation and safety management.
