2. Can voyage planning be executed on ECDIS?

A. Yes
B. No
C. Only if approved by the Flag State
D. Only if approved by the owner

3. Is it necessary to construct a passage plan,

(or voyage plan), for transiting a canal or
river, when under pilot?

A. A passage plan is always required, irrespective of the length of the

voyage, or if the ship is under pilot
B. A passage plan is required for all deep sea passages, but not for
transiting a canal under pilotage.
C. A passage plan is required only when there is no pilot on board
D. A passage plan is required from departure from port to arrival at the
pilot station at the destination.
4. Rigging of the Pilot Ladder and
embarkation/disembarkation of a pilot
should be supervised by:

A. A responsible Officer
B. An experienced AB
C. The Bosun
D. The Sen.Off.Deck only
5. SOLAS (The International Convention for the
Safety of Life at Sea) regulations, Chapter 5, deals
with the Safety of Navigation and applies to which
vessels?

A. All vessels and on all voyages

B. The Convention only applies to ships over a certain size
C. It applies to ships of over a certain size engaged in International
Voyages
D. Over 10 000 dwt

6. What is the crucial aspect in executing a

voyage in a safe and efficient way?

A. An effective detailed passage plan fully understood and followed

by a competent bridge team.
B. All navigational equipment fully functional.
C. Bridge equipment effectively operating and being used efficiently
D. The bridge equipment includes ARPA radar, GPS and ECDIS in
full and effective operation
7. What is the main purpose of VTS?

A. Increase the safety of all ships and the protection of the

environment in the vicinity.
B. Provide local information to all vessels navigating in the area
C. Improve the scheduling and traffic movement in the area.
D. Increase safety for ships participating in VTS

8. When a vessel is transiting a canal with locks and

intense bridge activities over many hours, what
management issues should the Master consider?

A. All of these answers

B. Lack of sleep and fatigue of bridge officers
C. Fully manned engine room throughout the canal transit
D. Suitable crew available for lock transits

9. When handing over the con of a vessel to a

pilot, should the Master insist in discussing the
passage plan with the pilot while he is there to
use his local knowledge and advice on the
navigation of the ship?

A. A passage plan should be discussed between the Master and pilot,

when under pilotage in the same way as discussed with the bridge
team when deep sea
B. The passage is well established and known by the pilot and a plan
is therefore not necessary
 C. A pilot is responsible for the navigation whilst on board and will be
very familiar with what is required, therefore discussing the
passage plan is not necessary
D. The pilot would probably consider it unnecessary, be more
interested in knowing the ship's characteristics and resist any
passage planning discussions with the Master.

10. When initially setting up the GPS to

provide positions for use with paper

A. Select WGS84 and when plotting on the chart apply the stated
corrections.
B. Select the datum stated on the chart in use
C. WGS78 and input the corrections stated on the chart into the GPS
D. WGS84 and plot the readout position directly on the char

11. When planning a voyage crossing large

oceans, which of the following answers
would most suitably cover the most critical
aspects to be considered when deciding the
courses to steer?

A. The anticipated weather and the need for weather routing. The
distances gained by sailing by great circle. The ship's draught and
the loadline limits
B. The anticipated weather with the possibility of encountering ice and
the need for weather routing. The prevailing currents and their
advantage to improved speeds
 C. The passage time to the destination; the anticipated bunkers used
and the need to arrive within prescribed schedule
D. The methods of determine position and avoiding areas of increased
traffic density. The limitations of the ships draught and the loadline
limits
12. Which of the following answers would best define
the term "risk"?

A. Risk is a situation involving exposure to danger and includes both

identification of the occurrence and the likelihood that it will
happen.
B. Risk is the term to identify a dangerous situation which will affect
the ship
C. Risk is the possibility that a dangerous situation is likely to occur
D. Risk means something more dangerous than normal is likely to
occur

13. While navigating using a paper chart marked

WGS84 the OOW plots the ships position by
four different methods and they all give
slightly different positions. Which of the
following would be considered the most
accurate.

A. Radar ranges from two radar destinctive headlands

B. GPS set on WGS84 datum
C. Bearing and distance from a navigation buoy close to the vessel
D. Gyro compass bearings from two lighthouses
14. Who will have the authority to take charge and make appropriate decisions
in the event of a vessel emergency when transiting the Panama Canal?

A. The Panama Canal Authority

B. The ship's Master
C. The ship's company
D. The Master and Pilot will agree the best course of action to be
taken to resolve the emergency situation.

15. You are a Senior Officer of the Watch

on vessel "A" and are passing through
the Straits of Gibraltar. The vessel's
speed is 18 knots and your vessel is
overtaking several other vessels, when
the visibility reduces down to about 2
nm. What aspects would you consider
when establishing a "safe speed" for
your vessel?
A. Deciding safe speed consider: 2 miles visibility; traffic density;
manoeuvrability of vessel; effectiveness of navigational equipment
(ARPA etc); state of sea and currents and navigational hazards.
B. Adjust my track to follow Route 1 or 2 illustrated and reduce speed
down to half speed, approximately 8 knots
C. Safe speed should be where the vessel can come to a stop within
the visible range
D. A safe speed is where a vessel can take proper and effective action
to avoid collision and be stopped within an appropriate distance
16. Your vessel is to leave a crowded
anchorage making a 180 degrees turn.
The ship has a right-handed propeller
and there is equal space either side of
the ship (as illustrated). What would be
the most suitable method to make the
turn using as little space as possible?

A. Rudder hard to port, full astern. After gaining some sternway,

rudder hard to starboard and full ahead
B. Full ahead, rudder hard to port
C. Full ahead, rudder hard to starboard
D. Rudder hard to starboard, full ahead. Rudder hard to port, full
astern. Repeating this manoeuvre until the turn has been made.
