A group of figures under an arrow, marking where to gather before evacuating a ship.
Also known as: Assembly station sign, Ship muster point sign, Lifeboat muster sign
A muster station symbol marks the place on a ship where passengers gather to be counted, briefed and, if necessary, allocated to survival craft. It is not an exit and not simply a safe outdoor space: mustering is a controlled step between leaving a cabin and boarding a lifeboat, which is why the station is a named place printed on a cabin door card and on the back of a cabin key. The sign belongs to the green safe-condition class and usually carries a station letter or number.
Marks a controlled step rather than a destination: passengers gather to be counted and briefed before any allocation to survival craft, which is why the station carries a letter or number and appears on the cabin door card.
