What should be done if there is a mechanical breakdown?

  1. Continue at full speed

  2. Alter course and speed, investigate the problem

  3. Ignore the problem

  4. Immediately evacuate the vessel

The correct answer is: Alter course and speed, investigate the problem

Other options are incorrect because continuing at full speed could potentially worsen the mechanical breakdown or cause additional damage to the vessel. Ignoring the problem is also not a suitable option as it could lead to further malfunctions and potentially put the safety of the vessel and its passengers at risk. Evacuating the vessel immediately is also not necessary unless the mechanical breakdown poses an immediate danger. Altering course and speed and investigating the problem is the best course of action as it allows for potentially resolving the issue and ensuring the safety of the vessel and its passengers.
