The bridge wheelman has not reported for duty and there is a suspected "Man Overboard" situation on your vessel. The ship has been searched and there is one seaman missing? The vessel turns round and retraces the course back, calling for assistance from other vessels in the vicinity. What should be the focal point for any search pattern to be established?
The focus of the search should be from the present position as he probably went overboard when proceeding to the bridge for his watch.
Determine when the seaman was last sighted and concentrate the search round the course line between the last sighting and present position, taking into account any prevailing current.
The last sighted position should be the focal point of any search pattern and all ships should keep a good lookout in that vicinity, moving outwards to the present position.
Determine the drift and leeway of own ship and take this deviation from track into account on the return course. The search should focus around this return track back to the last sighted position
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?

The two anchors will restrict the ships swing with the tide and the ship may not lie to the prevailing current and wind
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 Captain has complained about the catering department overtime and the amount of food being left over and wasted. The Cook suggests that he cooks a large amount of rice in one go, keeps it warm during service at the evening meal, places any left over in the refrigerator overnight and then re-heats it for the lunch-time meal it the next day. Is this acceptable practise? (Select the most correct answer).
Yes, it will minimise cooking time and cut down wastage. As the rice has not been mixed with any other ingredients, it will remain pure and fresh.
Yes, it will save overtime and cut down wastage. Being rice, it poses no health risk.

Modern medium speed diesel engines normally have relatively short crankshafts with large diameter pins. How do these design features affect the reliability of crankshaft deflection readings?
The design of the crankshaft has very little effect on the readings when compared to the inaccuracies that arise due to human error.
Very short, stiff crankshafts do not deflect even when the engine is running so the readings are unaffected.
They increase the risk of inaccurate readings due to the 'stiff' shaft having very small natural sag which may therefore result in 'floating journals' in the static condition.
They reduce the risk of inaccurate readings as the large diameter pins result in a relatively heavy shaft which will reduce the risk of 'floating journals'.
