Restricted Vis
Any conditions in which the visibility is restricted by fog, mist, falling snow, heavy rain storm or any other similar condition.
CBD
due to the available depth and width of her navigable water
Give way vessel script
I will take a series of compass bearings of the approaching vessel. If the compass bearings remain the same or do not appreciably change then a risk of collision is deemed to exist.
She is the stand on vessel.
I am the “keep out of way” vessel.
I shall sound one short blast of the whistle for duration of 1 second.
I will make a bold alteration of course to STBD by 40-60 degrees.
I will monitor the situation and once she is past and clear return to original course.
Stand on vessel script
I will take a series of compass bearings of the approaching vessel. If compass bearings remain constant or do not appreciably change a risk of collision is deemed to exist.
I am the stand on vessel.
I shall maintain course and speed.
I may, however, take action to avoid collision by my manoeuvre alone
As soon as it becomes apparent that the other vessel is not taking appropriate action in compliance with the rules
I shall sound 5 short rapid blasts
Call master
Engage hand steering
If there is no response I shall sound 1 short blast and turn to STBD
If the vessel that has to maintain course and speed
Finds herself so close
That action of give way vessel alone Connor avoid collision
I SHALL take such action as will be best to avoid collision.
I shall sound 5 short rapid blasts and take any action necessary to avoid collision.
Avoid collisions and shall not impede
… risk of collision exists.
R15, R18
However, under R10 no vessel shall impede on my safe passage in the TSS.
I shall sound 5 short rapid blasts to remind her of her obligation not to impede.
If there is no response then the normal steering and sailing rules apply and will act accordingly.
CBD
…risk of collision exist.
I am the “shall not impede” vessel.
I shall take early action
To allow sufficient sea room
To allow the safe passage of the do not impede vessel.
I will sound one short blast and turn to STBD to parallel the vessels course.

How often should you fix your position?
The frequency of fixing your position depends on the proximity to nav hazards and the time the ship would take to run into danger before your next fix. It depends mainly on the ships speed, R6, safe speed.

Great circle
On any sphere the shortest distance between two points is the circumference of the circle which joins them whose center is at the center of the sphere.
What’s a Mercator projection?
When the rhumb line cuts all the meridians at the same angle

- Check if dry
- Check zipper/ lubricate
- Check retroreflective tape
- Check whistle/ light if fitted
- Practice donning

Fire Fighting starting procedure
- Get equipment from fire locker
- Turn the valve on, check Bar, if 300 bar @4L cylinder then 1200L of air/ 30 min air
- Turn valve off and make sure pressure remains the same/ no leakage
- Put boots, ff outfit, gloves and balaclava on, balaclava should be around your neck
- Put BA on, strap yourself in.
- Turn valve on with demand valve off
- Put mask on, first breath will open demand valve.
- Positive Pressure test, 2 finger under seal, air should flow out of mask.
- Allow mask to reseal, hold breath make sure there is no leak from the demand valve
- Test whistle, turn off valve and keep breathing. Bar should drop, when at 50bar then whistle should sound
- Turn back on, check pressure reading
- Adjust flash hood, fit helmet and gloves, check entry, proceed to fire
Fire Fighting Monty, quarterly, annually
Monthly
1. Check fire suits, fire extinguishers, hydrants, nozzles, hoses and in place and ready to use
2. Escape routes, doorways and stairways accessible
3. Ships fire alarm
4. Fixes fire fighting system
5. Fire pump operational
6. Sprinkler system
Quarterly
Fire extinguishers within service
International shore connection
Full inventory of fire locker
Fire doors, fire dampers and closing devices checked

All hydrants operational
Why would you be concerned when using RADAR?
- Quality of performance (performance monitor)
- Misaligned heading marker
- Small vessels, ice and objects not being picked up
- Rain interfering with echoes
- Objects like a mast creating blind sectors and shadow sectors.
- Video processing techniques should be used with caution
What is a NUC
A vessel not under command is a vessel that’s due to extraordinary circumstances can not manoeuvre according to the colregs and therefore can not stay out of the way. (Lost steering, lost engine or dragging anchor)
RAM
Restricted in her ability to manoeuvre due to the nature of her work therefore she can not stay out of the way of another vessel. Ram shall include but will not be limited to:
Vessel engaged in
1. Dredging
2. Mine clearance
3. Towing where the tow restrict her ability to stay out of the way
4. Servicing, picking up or laying nav marks, submarine cables or pipelines.
5. Replenishing of personnel, cargo or provision while underway
6. Launching or recovery of aircraft
CBD
A vessel constrained by her draught in relation to the depth and width of the navigable water and is severely restricted in her ability to deviate from her course.
Underway
When the vessel is not anchored, aground or made fast ashore.
How to monitor the accuracy of your GPS?
- Verify the number of SAT
- Check your DOP
- Verify with other means of Nav
- Use with DGPS or EGNOS
- Check for sudden accordance changes
- Be aware or its limitations
- Keep GPS up to date.
How often should you check your echo sounder against a led line?
- On completion of a refit
- When equipment has changed
- Doubt in accuracy
- Annually
Operational checks of magnetic compass
- Free moving dimple
- Float free card and level
- Bubble free
- Compass card clear and sharp
- Optical system adjusted
- Azimuth reading and illumination in working order
- No liquid leaks
- No tools in the area
- What is salvage?
- The right to salvage?
- Advantages of LOF?
- SCOPIC clause?
- What conditions need to apply for salvage?
- Saving maritime properly in danger
- Voluntary effort, not under contract with vessel being salvaged
- Agreement by radio, no signature needed, English law, maritime lien on property saved
- It’s a safety net for the owner and the salvager to resolve complex salvage situations.
- Marine peril, voluntary salvage, success or benefit, no illegal action.
