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

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?

2
 DPKP

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 a paper
chart, what Chart Datum should be selected?
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 chart

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
5
 DPKP

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.
