Which term is set and maintained at sea in port outside normal working hours?

• A. Zebra
• B. X-ray
• C. Yoke
• D. RPE

Answer: (C)

Setting and maintaining a post in port after hours is about keeping the ship in a secured, ready posture for non-regular operations. The term used to designate and hold that particular state is Yoke. Once Yoke is set, the crew maintains that level of readiness and restricted access until normal operations resume, providing heightened security during off-hours. The other terms don’t describe this watch/posture state: one is a term used in other contexts, another is a piece of protective equipment, and the remaining option doesn’t relate to the ship’s posturing at all.
