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)

In this kind of setting, ships use concise, codified terms to communicate the current watch or operating status quickly and clearly. The term designated for being in port after hours is Yoke. Setting Yoke tells everyone aboard that the ship is not in full operation but still has a controlled, limited watch and security posture in place. It establishes what level of activity and access is permitted and keeps the crew aligned on duties until normal working hours or underway resume. Once established, that status is maintained to preserve consistency and safety across all departments. The other terms aren’t used to designate this post‑hours in-port condition and don’t carry the same meaning for the ship’s after-hours watch posture.
