1) You will turn your vessel in a narrow canal by use of two tugs with same power.

The wind varies in the range moderate/strong.

Where/how to use the tugs?

Pushing, made fast in the vessel

2) Your vessel is to turn in a narrow canal by use of one tug (turn to port with the bow). In which position and how would you
use the tug? (Vessels engine will be used as well).
Make the tug fast on port shoulder to pull
3) Your vessel is to unmoor. Two tugs will assist at the unmooring. Which position and how do you want to use the tugs?
Fast FWD and AFT in center lead to pull the vessel out from the jetty and make it in position for voyage
4) Your vessel is going alongside. One tug will assist at the mooring. Which position and how do you want to use the tug?
Make fast on the vessel's shoulder to push and pull
5) Your vessel is going alongside a pier. Two tugs will assist at the mooring. Which position and how do you want to use the
tugs?
Pushing on ship's flat side and make fast in the vessel for pulling if needed
6) You will anchor a VLCC at a depth of 80 meters in open water with swell. How much chain will you use?
11 shackles
7) A vessel towing with a total length of 1350 meters, expecting strong wind from starboard side. The towing wire is connected
20 meters from towing vessels stern rail. What is to be done?
Secure the wire all way aft, to prevent wire moving out of center
8) Cross Atlantic [Link] of these systems would you use?
Wire connected to chain through center lead or anchor chain
9) A vessel towing with a total length of 1200 meters. The vessel in tow is 200 meters with a draught of 12,5 meters. Towing
vessel length is 45 meters and draught 6 meters forward and 7,5 meters aft. What draught do you expect the maximum
draught of towing to be?
100 metres
10) You are berthed with a steady offshore beam wind of 30 knots. This wind suddenly increases to 60 knots. When this
happens , the force driving the vessel off-berth will be:
Quadrupled
11) Your vessel is berthed at a seaberth with an underkeel clearance of 5 times the draft and a cross or beam current of 1 knot
is acting on you with force of, let us say, 50 tons. You move to another shallower berth with your draft exactly the same as
before and with exactly the same beam current of 1 knot acting on you. However your underkeel clearance here is only 0.5
times the draft. If the current was exerting a force of 50 tons on you before, how much force will it exert now?
150 tons
12) Two lines sent out and pretensioned equally have the same length, same breaking strength and same directional load.
However, one is made of wire (which has a full load elastic elongation of about 1,5 % of its length) and the other made of
nylon (which has a full load elongation of about 30 % of its length). If a sudden gust of wind increase the load on the lines, this
increased load will be shared as follows:
Wire takes 95 % of the extra load. Rope takes 5 % of the extra load
13) Two synthetic fibre lines of the same size and material are run out and pretensioned at the berth. However one line (line
A) is secured to a shore bollard twice as far as the other line (line B). If a sudden increase in wind now causes an extra load to
come on the lines, the extra load will be shared by the lines as follows:
A will take 1/3 of the extra load. B will take 2/3 of the extra load
14) It is important that the brake holding capacity of a self stowing winch drum should not exceed the breaking strength of the
wire or rope wound onto it. A certain percentage of extra strength is therefore recommended for the wire or rope over the
brake holding capacity of the winch. So, for a winch of brake holding capacity of 60 Tons you would order a wire of breaking
strength: 100 Tons
15) If a nylon mooring rope gets wet by immersion in water it undergoes:
A decrease in strength of 20 %
16) If you are required to splice an eye on a mooring wire (using the recommended 5 full tucks and 2 half tucks) the effective
breaking strength of the wire will now be affected by the splice, and you would expect:
A reduction in strength of 10 % to 15 %
17) How do you consider the indicated speed for berthing?
Too fast

521) In ship handling terms, what is meant by 'sinkage'?
Sinkage is the change of draft experienced when moving through water

522) In which of these vessel types is 'sinkage' likely to be most pronounced?

A vessel with a high block coefficient
523) How is bank effect felt by a vessel?
The vessel's bow is pushed away from the nearest bank
524) 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 starboard
525) You are meeting another ship in confined waters. What can happen as the ships approach each other?
Initially the bows of the ships will be pushed away from each other
526) In ship handling terms, which of these overtaking situations is the most dangerous?
A large vessel overtaking a small vessel with little difference in speed between the two vessels
527) In which of these vessel types is 'squat' likely to be most pronounced?
A vessel with a high block coefficient
528) How should you minimize squat effect?
Decrease the speed
529) In relation to squat effect, which of the following statements is incorrect?
Squat results in a decrease in ship's draft
530) You are transiting a narrow channel. What can happen in this situation?
The bow could be pushed away from the bank
531) What would you say about a ship which is course unstable?
When you apply rudder, she will continue to turn long after the rudder is returned to amidships
532) 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 speed
533) A ship turns around a point called the 'pivot point'. What is the position of this point when the ship is stopped in the
water?
At the ship's centre of gravity
534) What will be the stopping distance of your ship when proceeding at 8 knots and reversing to full astern?
Check the information posted on the bridge
535) What is most noticeable about a ship with good course keeping stability?
When you put the rudder amidships, she will quickly return to a straight course
536) In which direction will the bow of a vessel move, with a single fixed pitch right-handed propeller which is turning astern?
To starboard
537) Your engine is going astern and you gather sternway. The rudder is amidships and you are operating on a single, righthanded fixed screw. How will your ship react?
You will change heading to starboard
538) A ship turns around a point called the 'pivot point'. What is the usual position of this point when the ship is at full sea
speed?
At about 1/4 of the ship's length from the bow
539) In the diagram of a ship's turning circle, what is the distance A known as?

Advance
540) In the diagram of a ship's turning circle, what is the distance B known as?

Tactical Diameter
541) In the diagram of a ship's turning circle, what is point C known as?

Pivot Point
542) The position of the pivot point when making sternway is approximately....
one quarter of the length of the ship from the stern

543) Your ship is on a course of 240 True. A person has fallen overboard on the port side and, after letting go smoke and light
floats, in order to carry out a Williamson Turn would you.....
go hard to port until you are heading 180 True, then hard to starboard until you are on 060 True.
544) In a narrow canal, a ship proceeding at half speed ahead swings towards the port bank of the channel. As the bow
approaches the bank, it would initially....
be rejected away from the bank by the pressure
545) When operating with conventional screw tugs, what is the function of the 'Gob' or 'Gog' rope?
To reduce the chance of 'girting'
546) In the diagram, B represents the start of a turning circle of a power driven ship in deep water with 20 degrees starboard
rudder. If the ship was in shallow water, the turning circle with the same rudder angle would be...

A
547) What is 'ship squat'?
The sinkage and change of trim caused when the ship is proceeding with a small underkeel clearance
548) Over what length of time should a diesel powered vessel be slowed down from full sea-speed to manoeuvring speed?
1 hour
549) Who is responsible for the numbers and use of tugs during mooring?
The master
