3. ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENTS
A. GPS- also known as the Global Positioning System is based on the use of
satellites on earth that transmit information which allows to measure the
distance between the satellite and the users.
B. Blind sector of a radar or the blind spot can be assessed on the radar by lowering
the range and the clutters.
C. The advantage of the stabilized radar is it gives a clear picture thn the non
stabilized radar.
D. The two system that makes the gyro north seeking : Top Heavy and Bottom
Heavy
4. METEOROLOGY
A. Circulation of low atmospheric pressure
Strong winds and a change in the direction of swell
Circulating motion of thunder clouds
B. Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)
C. By using Buy’s Ballots Law

5. A. Chart Catalogue
B. –Mariner’s Handbook
-Admiralty List of Radio Signals
-Admiralty List of Lights
-Sailing Directions

7. COLLISION REGULATIONS
A. Every vessel shall at all times maintain a proper look out.
B. Proper look out can be by sight and by hearing or by any available means
appropriate in the prevailing circumstances and conditions so as to make a full appraisal of
the situation and of the risk of collision.
 C. This rule applies to vessel not in sight of one another when navigating in or near an
area of restricted visibility.
D. A succession of small alterations of course and or speed should be avoided.

8. The assignment of duties when working within the bridge team is for the team members
to know their duties and responsibilities during drills and in the event of actual emergency.

9. The working principle of ARPA is it gives the OOW the data such as bearing, ranges, CPA,
BCPA, speed and course. ARPA is a very useful for collision avoidance.

10. A. ECDIS –Electronic Chart Display and Information System

B. ECDIS provides continuous position and navigational safety information. The system
generates audible/visual alarms when the vessel is in proximity to navigational hazards.

11. The precautions to be undertaken for the protection and safety of passengers if an
emergency occurs are to ensure that the passengers are well briefed on the things needed
to do during emergency. They must also be guided on donning the lifesaving equipment
properly. Appropriate measures in keeping the passengers calm must also be taken to
avoid commotion.

12. When a vessel receives a distress message, the vessel is obliged to render assistance to
the distressed vessel. She must head directly to the position of the vessel in distress.

13. Now heading “course steered”

14. – A gun or other explosive signals
- A continuous sounding of any fog signaling apparatus
- Rocket or shells throwing red star fired one at a time.
-A signaling method consisting SOS
- signal sent by radiotelephone
-International Code of Signals used by NC
-a signal consisting of square flag

15. The pivot point is the point on a vessel generally at 1/3 of the ship’s length from the
bow when moving ahead and between 14 ship’s length from the stern and rudder post
when going astern.

16. Securing of dangerous/hazardous harmful cargoes is in the securing manual of the

vessel, dangerous cargoes are stowed forward and adjacent to other cargoes loaded and
should not be together with non-IMDG cargo.

17. The dynamic forces are caused by the movement of the vessel as well as the external
forces while static forces are from within the vessel.

18. Pollution prevention from OIL

Pollution prevention from NOXIOUS SUBSTANCES
Pollution prevention from HARMFUL SUBSTANCES
Pollution prevention from SEWAGE
Pollution prevention from GARBAGE
Pollution prevention from AIR

19. Call the master, inform VTS and RCC, take soundings from the tanks, announce the
emergency through public address, conduct mustering and take preventive measures.

20. Keel – backbone of the ship, this structural member runs longitudinally along the center
of the bottom of the hull from stem to stern.
Bulkhead – a dividing wall or barrier between compartments in a ship
Beams – also referred to as the width of a ship, a structural element that primarily
resists loads applied laterally to beams axis.

21. The purpose of conducting fire drills onboard a ship is to have the crew familiarized
with their specific duties during emergency onboard. Drills onboard will train the crews
further on how to locate emergency escapes and even acquaint them on how to operate the
emergency firefighting equipment available onboard the vessel.

22. Things to do following abandon ship from a distressed vessel:

Activate the EPIRB, bring the SART and turn it on, place it on a favorable spot in the
survival craft for maximum detection. Each crew abandoning the ship must bring their
designated equipment if the circumstances permit. Extra food and water must be secured
also. And most importantly head count must be started to ensure everyone is present, once
you board the survival craft, deploy sea anchor to reduce your drift rate and stay in the
general direction of the distress vessel.

23. First aid onboard the ship provides the candidate with the skills and knowledge to be
able to react appropriately in an emergency situation where a casualty has been injured or
is acutely ill.

24. The main objective of MARPOL 73/78 is force at present id to achieve the complete
elimination of intentional marine environment pollution by hydrocarbons and to reduce
the accidental discharging of such waste substances.

25. Shipboard personnel management onboard a ship is all about governing officers who
have bigger responsibilities because they are the ones who make decisions. They represent
the administration staff and it is their role to integrate the crew with the technical aspects
so that the relationship between the officers and the crew will improve.
