Score two points per correct answer for questions 1-2
1. You are excused from using radar when it will not assist in making a full appraisal of the situation and risk of collision. This might include when the radar is defective, or when there is no one able to operate it effectively. Or when it will not help, but when the power it would use needs to be preserved.
2. No. You could still collide if either or both of you are altering course or speed or both, or if it is such a large vessel that the bearing of the bow is changing one way and the bearing of the stern could be changing the other, (in which case you will hit it somewhere in the middle!)
3. A sailing vessel is required to keep out of the way of an ordinary power driven vessel:-
When the sailing vessel is overtaking the power driven vessel
When the power driven vessel is confined to a narrow channel or fairway
When the power driven vessel is following a traffic separation scheme
When both vessels detect each other by radar alone
Score one point for one answer, two points for two answers, four points for three answers, and six points for four answers.
4. A cup of coffee
The sole watchkeeper on the overtaking container ship was doing the ship’s accounts, working on the ship’s computer, in the chartroom at the back of the bridge.
Score five points for anything along the lines of “administration”, “paperwork”, or “using a computer”.
