Q-How do structural corrosion and structural damage affect the risk to the general safety of the
vessel? Select all of the correct options.
A-Increases the risk since the defects may act as stress raisers.
Increases the risk because the structure is weakened.

be limited or eliminated? Select all of the correct options.
A-By ensuring that all engine room personnel are adequately trained.
Correct and timely maintenance procedures.
Operating all machinery within manufacturer’s limit.

Q-What would be result of loading a vessel without a properly formulated plan, particularly at a high
loading rate terminal? Select all of the correct options.
A-It may result in excessive local stresses due to uneven distribution of cargo.
Excessive stress may result due to unusual and unacceptable still water bending.

Q-What information should be in the “Vessel Enhanced Survey File?” Select all of the correct
options.
A-A complete record of the condition of the hull and fittings including details of any previous repairs.
The survey programmed of the critical areas of the hull structure, access possibilities and minimum
thickness records.
The status of the hull structure base on previous records of surveys and reports.

Q-Who is ultimately responsible for the general condition and maintaining structural strength of the
vessel?
A-only ship owner

Q-When considering machinery risk factors, in the context of the vessel risk profile as this module,
which machinery or systems be consider to be the most critical?
A-Any piece of machinery or system which would result in loss of control of the vessel in the event of
failing.

Q-Why is there a greater risk of serious fire hazard in engine room than anywhere else on the ships?
Select all of the correct options.

Q-An experienced officer is signing on a new vessel. Immediately upon arrival, he is ordered to take
the watch on the bridge with completing a familiarization programmed. Should this be considered
acceptable?
A-No, an officer should always go through an appropriate familiarization programmed before he takes over
as the Officer of the Watch.
