Your answer is correct:

Sometimes, since reduced visibility can be seasonal in some places and an increased likelihood of its occurrence can be predicted.

Correct answer:

Yes, it makes it easier to know that the vessel has arrived at that position.

Your Answer:

Yes, it will always be significant to any changes in the direction of the current and the allowance to the course to steer.

Your answer is correct:

The main consideration is to reduce the overall steaming distance between departure and destination ports.
9

When Voyage Planning, what other information, if any, is provided by standard Routeing Charts in addition to suggested routes through the area covered by the chart?

Correct answer:

Traffic separation schemes and prevailing weather patterns are provided.

Your Answer:

Weather particulars the vessel will experience are provided.
10

When Voyage Planning, where is information found about how to navigate in the vicinity of a Traffic Separation Scheme?

Your answer is correct:

International Regulations for the Prevention of Collision at Sea.

Your answer is correct:

No, the vessel should be brought back to the planned course in convenient manner, without radical alterations.
13

When executing a Voyage Plan, which suggests the use of “parallel index” techniques, is it correct to reduce the interval of taking positions?

Correct answer:

No, the frequency of position fixing should be maintained.

Your Answer:

Yes, the parallel index line continuously monitors the ships position.
14

When executing a Voyage Plan, how often should the position of the ship be obtained and marked on the chart?

Correct answer:

It depends on the location and how close the ship is to danger.

Your Answer:

When the Officer of the Watch has the opportunity and there are good visual navigational marks.
