  1. Question 1

    Code: K11SAZsY A member of the bridge team has just seen a person fall overboard. Which of the following manoeuvres is the most appropriate to assist with a rescue?
    • Direct Turn.
    • Williamson turn.
    • Emergency Stop.
    • Full Astern.

  2. Question 2

    Code: bT4ySl8z The ship is in a shallow water starboard turn and the fore and aft Doppler log sensors show a sideways motion to port. Where would the theoretical pivot point be located?
    • At a position outside and forward of the hull.
    • At a position outside and aft of the hull.
    • At the center of the hull.
    • At a position inside the hull.

  3. Question 3

    Code: wsH8WCem A tug is connected to the bow of a vessel. Will the force exerted by it be the same at any ahead speed?
    • No, on the bow the tug uses power to run with the vessel, which reduces the available power on the towline.
    • No, when the ahead speed of the ship increases the force exerted by the tug will also increase.
    • Yes, the force will remain constant regardless of speed.
    • Yes, the tug will always exert the same force at any speed.

  4. Question 4

    Code: #rBsNgQr In the situation illustrated with a ship on even keel, how should the tug power be set to enable the vessel to be pushed sideways without changing its heading?
    • Usually there would be greater power on the forward tug than on the after tug.
    • Usually there would be greater power on the aft tug than on the forward tug.
    • The power should be equal on both tugs.
    • The tugs should not exert any power at all.

  5. Question 5

    Code: qWkpBU9Y In the situation illustrated, what should be the power distribution of the tugs to maintain the ship sideways motion with only minor changes in the ship's heading?
    • Considerably more power on the aft tug than the forward tug, while monitoring the ship's gyro heading.
    • Full power on the forward tug and the after tug ceases to push, but continuously monitor the ship's gyro heading.
    • Equal power on both tugs to maintain stability.
    • No power on either tug, allowing the ship to drift.
