Code: KXLA The “buckling” of strength members of an oil tanker results due

to high:

὾ Compressive forces. (+)

὾ Transverse forces.

὾ Shearing forces.

὾ Bending moments.

Code: XNIP After confirmation that there is no other radioŧraffic, we call on a

VHF working channel of a coaststation. When you don’t get any reply:

὾ You must wait 3 minute minimum before repeating your call. (+)

὾ You must wait 5 minutes before repeating the call.

὾ You can repeat your call immediately.

὾ You must wait 1 minute minimum before repeating your call.

Code: XWMR When navigating using the GPS, how does the GPS display

indicate when the accuracy of the displayed position is reduced?

὾ A large HDOP value is displayed on the screen. (+)

὾ The GPS display is always very accurate and does not give any indication of lack of accuracy.

὾ A large “Correction Factor” number is displayed on the screen.

὾ The GPS display flashes and sounds an alarm.

Code: VFJG What does this flag mean?

὾ I have a diver down; keep well clear at slow speed. (+)

὾ My vessel is stopped and making no way through the water.

὾ Yes (affirmative).

Code: FYAL If a ship requires 2 nautical miles to stop in the water from a

“crash stop” when proceeding at full ahead in deep water. What will the

stopping distance be in shallow water?

὾ A shorter distance.

Code: JWPF You are on a sailing vessel, underway in open water. This vessel

is sighted on the starboard bow, on a steady bearing and the distance is

closing. By the International Regulations for the Preventing Collisions at

Sea, what action will you follow?

὾ By Rule 18, a powerdriven vessel underway shall keep out of the way of a sailing vessel. I will maintain my course and

speed, but will continue to monitor situation to ensure the other vessel takes avoiding action. (+)

὾ Risk of collision is deemed to exist and, as the other vessel is on a steady bearing on my starboard side, I will maintain my

course and speed.

὾ This vessel is clearly a powerdriven vessel and I anticipate that the bearing will therefore close and she will pass ahead at

a safe distance.

὾ Risk of collision is deemed to exist and, as the other vessel is on a steady bearing on my starboard side, I am required to

keep out of the way. I will make a broad alteration of course to starboard.

὾ 123,8 MHz and/or 247,6 MHz.

὾ 243,1 MHz and/or 486,2 MHz.

Code: JDPH Which of the following precautions should be taken when work is

to be carried out on the radar scanner unit on the mast?

὾ Only the electrical fuses forthe radar undergoing repairs needs to be removed, allowing the ship to retain a workable radar.

὾ Only the electrical fuses for the scanner motor needs to be removed.

὾ A sign needs to be attached to all the radars warning the bridge officers of repairs and the fact the radars are “Not to be

used”.

Code: DBWC MARPOL - Annex IV. Your ship has in operation an approved
