The upwind sailing vessel must keep out of the way of the downwind sailing vessel.
Sailing vessel B must keep out of the way of sailing vessel A.
Both sailing vessels are required to take avoiding action.
Sailing vessel A must keep out of the way of sailing vessel B.
The Master arrives on the bridge obviously under the influence of alcohol and states he is taking over the “con” of the ship. What actions should the Officer of the Watch (OOW) take in this situation?
Watch the actions made by the Master and if not dangerous, wait until the Master becomes more capable to take control or leaves the bridge.
Attempt to diplomatically avoid taking any actions that would put the ship or crew into danger and call the Chief Officer for assistance.
Tell the Master you do not think this is a good idea and retain control of the watch.

If a ship in deep water requires 2 nautical miles to “crash stop”, what will be the crash stopping distance in shallow water for the same start speed?
Similar distance to deep water.
A greater distance.
A shorter distance.
Depends on the crash stop used.
The position of the ship is found by taking a series of bearings using a magnetic compass. How should an error of 5° WEST be applied to the compass bearings?
The error should be “High” or “Low” and therefore more information is required.
Add the 5° to the bearings.
Subtract 5° to the bearings.
The same error applies to all bearings and therefore it can be ignored.

The decision should be left to the pilot who is in charge of the manoeuvre.
Two mooring lines are pretensioned equally and have the same length, same breaking strength and same directional load. However, one is made of wire (with a full load elastic elongation of about 1,5 % of its length) and the other made of nylon (with a full load elongation of about 30 % of its length). If a gust of wind increases the load on the lines, how will it be shared?

A wire for pulling fire-hoses up to the top bridge.
A wire for handling fire buckets.
A wire for securing the Fire Tug alongside a burning ship.
A tug is moving towards the bow of the ship to make fast and is in the vicinity of the ship’s shoulder, as illustrated. What specific danger should be considered when making this approach to the bow?
The positive pressure field at the ships bow may repel the tug and make the connection very difficult to establish.
The tug may be turned across the bow of the ship and also suffer a lose of stability with a danger of being turned over if touched by the ship.
The stern of the tug may be sucked in towards the bow and also suffer a reduction in the positive GM, making it very unstable.
All of the alternative answers.

Why should Ground Stabilised True Motion display mode be avoided when using the ARPA for anti-collision purposes?
The Relative Motion display and relative vectors is the only display to use for anti-collision purposes.
True motion does not provide the collision risk of other ships.
The true vector can never give an indication of collision risk with another ship.
The collision regulations are based on ship courses through the water.
The rudder is hard over with the engine at full ahead. Will the turning effect of the rudder be changed if the engine is stopped?
Yes, the turning force will be dramatically reduced when the engine is stopped.
No, the turning force applied by the rudder will be maintained within about 90 % of the turning force when going full ahead.
Yes, the turning force will be reduced to about 50 % of the original force when the engine is stopped.
No, the turning force is unaffected by the speed of the propeller.
When a ship is lying at anchor in a tidal area using both forward anchors, to what particular aspect should the officer of the watch be paying special attention?
When the ship swings to the tide the direction of swing should be controlled to avoid the anchor cables becoming wrapped round each other.
The tension on both cables should be similar, to avoid one dragging and all the weight of the ship remaining on the other anchor only.
The ship will become controlled by the tide and the wind will not be allowed to have any effect on the direction the ship lies at anchor.
The two anchors will restrict the ships swing with the tide and the ship may not lie to the prevailing current and wind.
The bridge Officer of the Watch (OOW) is plotting the ship’s position in the chartroom, when the ship is in collision with a fishing vessel. Why would the OOW be held responsible for the collision?
If the OOW is busy with the safe navigation of the ship he should have exhibited the “Not under Command” signals and made other ships keep clear.
If risk of Collision existed, the fishing boat should have contacted the larger ship over the VHF before the collision took place.
Under the Rules the fishing vessel should have kept clear of larger vessels and the OOW would not be responsible.
Under the Rules a proper lookout should be maintained at all times and by all available means.
What does this flag mean?
I wish to communicate with you.
My vessel is stopped and making no way through the water.
Yes (affirmative).
I have a diver down; keep well clear at slow speed.
The maximum rudder angle on your ship is 35°. Do you think this is the angle that the rudder is most effective?
No, the rudder is most effective at small rudder angles.
No, the most effective rudder angle is about 25 to 30°, this is because the rudder is stalling at 35° angle.
Yes, the rudder is most effective at max angle.
No, the rudder is most effective at angles between 10 and 20°.
After passage planning with ECDIS, how should the route be checked for safety?
Using the ECDIS route and geometry checker only.
Using the ECDIS route checker and by visually sighting all along it.
Transfer the ECDIS plan onto paper charts.
Investigate the displayed waypoint list after it is printed out.
In the diagram, the amount of water under the keel is indicated by the letter “C”. Which bridge instrument would measure this value?
Draught Indicator.
Echo Sounder.
ECDIS.

The Master arrives on the bridge obviously under the influence of alcohol and states he is taking over the “con” of the ship. What actions should the Officer of the Watch (OOW) take in this situation?
Attempt to diplomatically avoid taking any actions that would put the ship or crew into danger and call the Chief Officer for assistance.
Tell the Master you do not think this is a good idea and retain control of the watch.
Tell the Master you consider him incapable of taking over the responsibility of the watch and that he should retire to his cabin and sleep it off.
Watch the actions made by the Master and if not dangerous, wait until the Master becomes more capable to take control or leaves the bridge.
You are approaching a port in a snowstorm. You hear this signal. What kind of vessel is it and what is it doing?
It comes from a vessel at anchor, less than 100 metres in length.
It comes from a vessel engaged in pilotage duties and it is making way through the water.
It comes from a vessel engaged in pilotage duties at anchor, over 100 metres in length.
It comes from a vessel restricted in her ability to manoeuvre.

At the point furthest away from any danger.
At the point nearest the course line drawn on the chart.
At the point nearest to the danger, if any.
At the centre of the triangle.

True vectors.
Relative vectors, ground stabilised.
Relative vectors.
Relative vectors, sea stabilised.
Who is responsible for the number and the position of any tugs to be used during a mooring operation?
The Master, with consideration of the advice of the pilot.
The Pilot is fully responsible for the number and use of tugs within the port area.
It will be only the wind speed that will determine the required number of tugs and how they are used.
The Port Authority will dictate the tug requirements and their use within the port limits.
Which type of vessel suffers from the greatest squat effects?
Vessel with a low Block Coefficient.
Vessel with a small length to beam ratio.
Vessel with a high Block Coefficient.
Vessel with a large length to beam ratio.
Which approved publication should be used by a seafarer to help overcome any misunderstanding in communications?

The Oxford Concise Dictionary.
The (ISC) Bridge Procedures Guide.
The (IMO) Standard Marine Communication Phrases (SMCP) booklet.
The ship has a right-handed propeller and is swinging to starboard when the engines are slow ahead and the rudder is to starboard. The engines are stopped and the rate of swing rapidly slows down. How could the swing to starboard be maintained without the ship making much headway.
Transverse Thrust will reduce the swing and therefore a kick ahead is necessary with full starboard helm applied.
The only effective method is by using the bow thruster to push the bow to starboard.
Astern on the engines will allow Transverse Thrust to continue the swing.
By applying the rudder hard over to starboard and going ahead on the engines.
Which statement best describes how land moves, if at all, on an ECDIS set in North-up, relative motion mode?
This is a feature only seen on radar displays.
The land is always in the middle of the screen.
Land on the chart screen moves relative to the ship symbol.
Land is stopped with the vessel symbol moving across the sea floor.
What is the two letter signal, to be used by flags, radiotelephony or radiotelegraphy, meaning “Calling All Ships”.
TT.
CQ.
CA.
AS.
What, by definition in the International Collision Regulations, is a “vessel restricted in her ability to manoeuvre”?
A vessel which because of her draught in relation to the available depth of navigable water is restricted in her ability to deviate from her course and keep out of the way of another vessel.
A vessel engaged in underwater work, such as the laying, picking up or servicing of a pipeline, or which is in support of diving operations, performing dredging and mine-clearance or is deploying or recovering a pilot.
A vessel which from the nature of her work is restricted in her ability to manoeuvre as required by the Rules and is therefore unable to keep out of the way of another vessel.
A vessel which through some exceptional circumstance is unable to manoeuvre as required by the Rules and is therefore unable to keep out of the way of another vessel.

All of the suggested answers.
The “Dew Point” is the point at the centre of an Anticyclone.
The temperature of the water vapour in a cloud.
The temperature at which water vapour in the air forms into water droplets.
What could be the reason for the magnetic compass to swing through large angles when the ship is rolling in a seaway?
The error due to deviation is large for that ships heading.
The Coefficient B determined by the Compass Corrector at the last dry-dock was not correctly calculated.
The heeling error magnets are upside down and/or not in the correct position.
The induced magnetism from the earth’s magnetic field is very strong in that area.
What would be the effects of a ship passing into shallow water?
The vessel has a tendency to swing to port with a single fixed-pitch right-hand turning propeller.
There is no noticeable difference in performance of the ship.

The vessel’s bow is attracted by the bank.
The vessel’s bow is pushed away from the bank.
The whole vessel would continue straight towards the bank and would require a large helm order to avoid going aground.
Which of the answers best summarises the information which should be provided for the bridge Officer of the Watch within an effective Voyage plan?

That the vessel is operating astern propulsion.
That the vessel is picking up his pilot.
That the vessel is starting his engine and resuming his passage.
Why should a Ground Stabilised True Motion radar display not be used for anti-collision purposes?
Because this display is only ever used for navigation.
The true vector can never give an indication of collision risk with another ship.
The “aspect” of the target is confused, so the Regulations for Preventing Collisions cannot be accurately applied.
True motion does not provide the collision risk of targets as only true vectors are available.
Which of the answers best summarises the information which should be provided for the bridge Officer of the Watch within an effective Voyage plan?
Courses to steer; distance off dangers; parallel index lines; expected currents; prevailing winds; distance between alteration points.

All of the suggested answers.
Display the NUC signal and stop the engine(s).
Call the Master and advise them of the situation.
You are on a power-driven vessel underway in open water. You sight these lights on the port bow, on a steady bearing. The distance is closing. What are you looking at and what action will you take in compliance with the International Regulations for Preventing Collision at Sea.
This is a power-driven vessel engaged in towing, less than 50 metres in length, length of tow under 200 metres and the tow, both being restricted in their ability to manoeuvre, seen from the starboard side. Under rule 18, I am required to keep clear and will take appropriate avoiding action.
This is a power-driven vessel, more than 50 metres in length or less than 50 metres in length and showing a second masthead light, restricted in her ability to manoeuvre. The sidelight of a second vessel can be seen beyond her. Under rule 18, I am obliged to keep clear of the first vessel and will therefore take appropriate avoiding action.
I don’t know.
This is a power-driven vessel engaged in towing, more than 50 metres in length or less than 50 metres in length and showing a second masthead light, length of tow 200 metres or more, not under command. I will keep clear under rule 27.
Two ships travelling in opposite directions are to pass each other in a narrow river, as illustrated. Explain what is likely to happen as they pass each other?
Due to interaction, the bows will attract each other as they approach, then they will repel each other alongside and as they pass clear, the sterns will be attracted.
Due to interaction, the bows will repel each other, and then when alongside each other the two ships will be sucked together and finally the sterns will be repelled as they start to pass clear.
There will be very little effect between the two ships as they pass.
As they approach, rudder should be applied quickly to avoid sheering into the path of each other. Then as they are alongside they will be attracted and finally repel each other as they pass clear.
Can the OOW be the sole lookout?
Only if the ARPA radar is set onto Auto Acquisition with an audio alarm sounding when a ship is detected.
When the visibility is good and the ship is in the middle of the ocean where there is very little shipping.
Never should the Officer of the Watch be the only lookout.
During daylight when visibility and traffic allows.
How can the effects of Squat be minimized, when a ship is proceeding in shallow water?
Maintain a speed of about 6 knots and use minimal rudder when manoeuvring.
Enter the shallow water with a stern trim and proceed at a moderate speed.
Decrease the speed and keep this ship to the centre of the channel where the water is probably deepest.
Maintain a slow speed just sufficient to maintain steerage.
A ship normally turns (swings) around a point which is not the centre of gravity. What is this point normally called?
Centre of Turn.
Centre of Buoyancy.
Centre of Floatation.
Pivot Point.
If your vessel is fitted with wires on self-stowing “split drum” winches, the advantage of having these split drum winches is:
