What do you do at the Gangway when someone shouts it?

When someone shouts "Gangway!" it is a signal that someone is trying to move past in a hurry, usually because they need to get to a specific location quickly or are coming aboard. The purpose of this call is to alert those nearby to clear the path to allow for safe passage.

By getting out of the way, you ensure that there are no obstacles in the person's path, which helps maintain safety onboard the vessel and prevents potential accidents or injuries. This action demonstrates awareness and responsiveness to the immediate needs of others in a busy maritime environment.

The other listed actions, such as gathering supplies, preparing the vessel, or initiating a safety check, do not directly address the immediate need to clear the gangway. These tasks may be necessary at other times, but the priority when you hear someone shout "Gangway!" is to allow for safe passage by moving aside.
