craft” and when you would apply the remaining chapters to such vessels. (10%).

3. Explain in your own words the term “white list”, “grey list” and “black list” with regards to flag state
administration performance tables. Discuss how these tables affect the possibility of port state control
inspection of internationally trading vessels (15%).

4. Discuss why the coating condition is of great importance to a steel small craft constructed with zero
corrosion allowance for hull plating design thickness. Explain how you would deal with a situation where

major components of a
marine diesel engine, one of which should be the holding down arrangements. (20%).

8 Including a step by step working calculation for your answer, calculate the block coefficient of a non-
propelled barge shaped vessel where:
Submerged volume of the hull is 200m3
LOA =24.00m
LBP=22.00m
