  Vessel emergency codes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In addition to distress signals like mayday and pan-pan, most vessels, especially passenger ships, use some emergency signals to internally alert the crew onboard, and in some cases also the passengers.
These can be in form of blasts on alarm bells, sounding the ship's whistle or code names paged over the PA system.
Fire and emergency, continuous ringing of the general alarm bell for ten seconds and a continuous sounding of the ship's whistle for ten seconds.

 Distress signal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Certain radio frequencies are preferred for emergency calls.
Emergency beacons aboard aircraft and surface ships may be activated upon a crash or contact with water (as in a sinking).
Modern beacons transmit a radio frequency signal at 406 MHz, while older beacons transmit signals at 121.5 MHz or 243 MHz for civil and military purposes, respectively.

 Research Vessel Safety Standards - Revised March 2003
Recognizing that research vessels and ocean research in general should be in the forefront of contributing to maritime safety, research vessels should take every opportunity to participate in innovative research, procedures, and equipment operation evaluations which would enhance the practice of safety at sea.
Masters of all oceanographic vessels have the responsibility for maintaining the watertight integrity of these vessels.  This responsibility involves the careful maintenance of all watertight closures and associated systems and the assurance that their functions, operation and status in various normal and emergency conditions are clearly understood by members of the crew and science party.
All uninspected vessels have a responsibility and should maintain a capability to recover a person in the water.  There is no requirement for uninspected vessels to carry rescue boats however consideration should be given to types of operations the vessel will be conducting, vessel maneuverability, and vessel freeboard.

 Transponder Signals and Prefix Codes
Because transponder codes are normally broadcast over subspace, they can be used to locate a ship over very long distances, and therefore overcome many of the limitations of sensor systems.
Transponder codes can be extremely useful when a group of ships are acting together, since they enable the fleet's commander to instantly identify each vessel under his or her command and to see exactly how they are deployed.
This code is known as the prefix code and is designed to prevent an enemy vessel from remotely taking control of the Federation vessel's computer systems.
