It should be about 55 %.
It should be about 50 %.
What are the main advantages to the Navstar, Glonas and Galileo satellite navigation systems?
These satellite systems give world-wide coverage 24 hours a day.
Satellite navigation systems also give information about weather and wave conditions.
If a vessel uses any one of them, there is no need to practice other forms of navigation.
They are all made specifically for ships and marine operations.

The density of the water.
During an STS operation with one ship at anchor, should an anchor watch be maintained?
Anchor watch responsibility rests with the discharging vessel which would be the vessel which is anchored.
Both ships have normal anchor watch responsibility in addition to watching ship to ship fendering, mooring etc.
Anchor watches are not kept as the duty officers will be on deck conducting the cargo operations.
Anchor watch responsibility rests with the vessel which has its anchor down and the ship to ship connections is the responsibility of the other vessel.
What is the purpose of a sea anchor?
To keep the lifeboat in a position close to the vessel.

To give a better signals to any aircraft searching for survivors.
To keep the lifeboat steady against the sea/wind.

Manoeuvring signals will be given only on the forward whistle; warning signals will be given on both whistles simultaneously.
They shall first be given on the forward whistle, followed by the after whistle, with a 5 second interval in between.
They shall be given on one whistle only.
When fastening synthetic fibre ropes such as polypropylene on bitts, for safety and better rope control it is recommended to:

Make it fast on the second bitt alone, fig. 2.
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.
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.
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.

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?
The wire and rope will share the load equally.
Wire takes 45 % of the extra load. Rope takes 55 % of the extra load.
Wire takes 55 % of the extra load. Rope takes 45 % of the extra load.
Wire takes 95 % of the extra load. Rope takes 5 % of the extra load..

Slow down if possible without losing steerage and be prepared for prompt application of rudder to counteract any swing as they approach and pass each other.
The ship is required to be stopped in the water as quickly as possible, but without major changes to the ship’s heading. What is the most effective method to achieve this?
Put the engine full astern and keep the rudder amidships.

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.

The rudder can be put from side to side in a “Rudder Cycling” movement.
The rudder can be put to Hard to Port to reduce the water from to the right side of the propeller.
