Transverse fixed tunnel thrusters are oriented athwart ships, usually located at
the bow of a vessel, and used for docking, undocking, and low-speed maneuvering.
2.What is the primary advantage of transverse bow and stern tunnel thrusters when
installed on ships?
3.Your ATLAS ship is dead in the water with the rudder amidships. As the right-
handed screw starts to turn ahead, the bow will tend to go __________.
to port
4.You have made a turning test on full speed in deep water. You are now going to
make a test in shallow water. Do you think the turning diameter will be the same?
5.Your ship is equipped with a single, right-handed fixed screw. Steaming full
ahead you reverse the engine to stop the ship. How will the ship react? No wind or
current.
She will most likely sheer to starboard and gradually loose headway
6.Your ship is equipped with a right-handed propeller. As you go full astern from
full ahead, the ship is sheering to starboard. Is there anything you can do to
reduce the change in heading?
Put the rudder hard to port to reduce the water flow to the right side of the
propeller
7.Your ship has right handed propeller and is on half ahead when you put her full
astern to stop her. Do you think the rudder will have any effect while the ship is
making headway?
Yes, by putting the rudder hard starboard. it will shield water flow to the
starboard. side of the propeller and vice versa to port. This will effect turning
of the ship.
8.Your engine is going astern and you pick up sternway. The rudder is midships, and
you are operating on a single, right-handed fixed screw. How will your ship react?
9.You want to stop your ship as quickly as possible without too much change in the
heading. What can you do to achieve this?
Use the rudder hard over both sides while reducing engine power, so-called "high
frequency rudder cycling".
10.You have made a turning test on full speed in deep water. You are now going to
make a test in shallow water. Do you think the turning diameter will be the same?
11.You have anchored in a mud and clay bottom. The anchor appears to be dragging
in a storm. What action should you take?
Drop the second anchor, veer to a good scope, then weigh the first anchor
12.You are sailing in shallow water, with 15% Under Keel Clearance. With full RPM,
what will your speed be compared to deep water?
slower
13.You are sailing in shallow water, with 15% Under Keel Clearance. How will the
stopping distance be, compared to deep water?
longer
14.You are preparing to relieve the mate on watch while underway at sea. The ATLAS
watch should not be transferred __________.
15.While the Pilot is maneuvering the vessel to a dock, what is the PRIMARY
responsibility of the watch officer?
Insure that helm and throttle orders given by the Pilot are correctly executed.
Maneuvering Characteristics
17.Your vessel is docking, but not yet alongside. Which line will be the most
useful when maneuvering the vessel alongside the pier?
18.A "loose" tow may cause all of the following EXCEPT __________.
19.You attach a line to a stationary barge lying off your starboard beam in order
to maneuver it into position to make up tow. The line used to do this is a
__________.
swing line
No. Forces tending to capsize a tug are as dangerous on the high seas as they are
in harbor and coastal work.
