    A vessel is said to be in sight of one another when you can see the navigational lights at night

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When a vessel is said to be in sight of one another, it means that the navigational lights of both vessels are visible to each other at night. This is an important safety measure to ensure that vessels can avoid collision and navigate safely. Therefore, the statement "A vessel is said to be in sight of one another when you can see the navigational lights at night" is true.

    A vessel shall proceed to a safe speed to stop within a distance appropriate to a prevailing situation

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    This statement is true because it is a basic rule of navigation that a vessel should always be able to stop within a safe distance in order to avoid collisions or other dangerous situations. The speed at which a vessel can safely stop will depend on factors such as the size and maneuverability of the vessel, weather conditions, visibility, and the presence of other vessels or obstacles. By proceeding at a safe speed, a vessel can ensure that it has enough time and distance to react and take appropriate action if necessary.

    An overtaken vessel is relieved of her obligation to keep clear if the overtaking vessel is past and clear

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When a vessel is being overtaken by another vessel, the overtaken vessel is required to keep clear and allow the overtaking vessel to pass safely. However, once the overtaking vessel has successfully passed and is no longer in a position to collide with the overtaken vessel, the overtaken vessel is relieved of its obligation to keep clear. Therefore, the statement is true.

  • 6. 

    A vessel that came from an angle more than 22.5 degrees forward of the beam of the overtaken vessel is said to be an overtaking vessel

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When a vessel approaches another vessel from an angle greater than 22.5 degrees forward of the overtaken vessel's beam, it is considered to be an overtaking vessel. In other words, if the approaching vessel is coming from a position that is more towards the front of the overtaken vessel rather than from the side, it is classified as an overtaking vessel.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    When risk of collision exists a vessel may reduce speed provided it will not result to another close quarter situation

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When there is a risk of collision, a vessel may choose to reduce its speed in order to avoid a close quarter situation with another vessel. This means that if slowing down will help prevent a potential collision, it is a recommended action. However, it is important to note that reducing speed should only be done if it will not create another hazardous situation.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Vessel constrain by draft is an example of a R.A.M. vessel which is unable to keep out the way of another to avoid collision

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because a vessel constrained by draft refers to a ship that is limited in its ability to maneuver due to its draft or depth in the water. These vessels are often large and have a deep draft, which restricts their ability to change course or avoid collisions easily. Therefore, they may be unable to keep out of the way of another vessel to avoid a collision, making the statement true.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Limitations of the other vessel may be a reason for your vessel to depart from the rule

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is suggesting that if another vessel has limitations, it may be necessary for your vessel to depart from the rule. This implies that there are situations where following the rule may not be feasible or safe due to the limitations of another vessel. Therefore, the statement is true as it highlights the possibility of departing from the rule under certain circumstances.

    • Rule 19

    Correct Answer
    A. Rule 7
    Explanation
    This topic is best discussed under Rule 7 of the International Rule on Preventing Collision at Sea. Rule 7 states that every vessel shall use all available means to determine if risk of collision exists, including the use of radar. If a vessel is observed on radar and its bearing does not change while closing in, it indicates a potential risk of collision and the appropriate actions should be taken to avoid it.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    When can a sailing vessel be treated as a power driven vessel

    • When she is on propulsive power

    • She will remain to be a sailing vessel

    • When she is underway

    • When her draft is to the maximum

    Correct Answer
    A. When she is on propulsive power
    Explanation
    A sailing vessel can be treated as a power driven vessel when she is using her propulsive power. This means that she is no longer relying solely on wind power to move and is instead using her engine or motor to propel herself. In this state, she will be subject to the rules and regulations that apply to power driven vessels rather than those that apply to sailing vessels.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    You are a vessel engaged in fishing, which part of the traffice separation scheme you are allowed to lay your net

    • Traffic lane

    • Inshore traffic zone

    • Traffic separation lane or zone

    • Anywhere provided you follow Rule 18

    Correct Answer
    A. Traffic separation lane or zone
    Explanation
    As a vessel engaged in fishing, you are allowed to lay your net in the traffic separation lane or zone. This is because the traffic separation scheme is specifically designed to separate opposing streams of traffic and ensure the safe and efficient flow of vessels. However, it is important to note that you must still follow Rule 18, which requires you to avoid impeding the passage of other vessels and take necessary actions to prevent collisions.

    Rate this question:

    The term underway includes vessel totally stopped on the water

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the term "underway" refers to a vessel that is in motion or moving on the water. It does not matter if the vessel is completely stopped or moving slowly, as long as it is on the water, it is considered underway.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    Rule 17 directs a give way vessel to take action by maneuver alone when a stand on vessel fails to take an action to avoid collision

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Rule 17 of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) actually states that the stand-on vessel must maintain its course and speed unless it is apparent that the give-way vessel is not taking appropriate action to avoid a collision. In this case, the stand-on vessel may take action to avoid the collision. Therefore, the given statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    How are you going to cross a traffic scheme from the side

    • At an angle enough to maneuver

    • At right angle

    • At a small angle

    • At right angle to the opposite traffic lane

    Correct Answer
    A. At right angle
    Explanation
    To cross a traffic scheme from the side at a right angle means to approach the intersection perpendicularly to the opposite traffic lane. This ensures a safer and more efficient maneuver as it allows for better visibility and reduces the risk of collisions with oncoming traffic. By crossing at a right angle, the driver can navigate the intersection smoothly and minimize the chances of causing any disruptions or accidents.

    What is the best description of a vessel engaged in fishing

    • From the nature of her work is unable to keep out the way of another

    • They are fishing convoy

    • They are restricted to keep clear because of some exceptional circumstances

    • She is restricted to maneuver due to her fishing gear

    Correct Answer
    A. She is restricted to maneuver due to her fishing gear
    Explanation
    A vessel engaged in fishing is restricted to maneuver due to her fishing gear. This means that the fishing gear, such as nets or lines, can limit the vessel's ability to change direction or avoid obstacles. The fishing gear may be spread out in the water, making it difficult for the vessel to navigate freely. Therefore, the vessel is unable to keep out of the way of another vessel or maintain a clear path.

    Rate this question:

    Who is the stand on vessel between a mine clearance vessel and a fishing vessel in a crossing situation

    • Fishing vessel if she comes from the starboard side of the mine clearance vessel

    • Mine clearing vessel because of her condition

    • Mine clearance vessel because she is a naval vessel

    • Fishing vessel because of her condition

    Correct Answer
    A. Mine clearing vessel because of her condition
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "mine clearing vessel because of her condition." In a crossing situation, the stand on vessel is typically the vessel that is less maneuverable or restricted in its ability to change course or speed. Since the mine clearing vessel is involved in a specific task and may have limited maneuverability due to its equipment or operations, it is considered the stand on vessel in this situation.

    • A sound signal of 2 long blasts followed by 2 short blasts

    • 3 short blasts

    • One long one short one long one short

    • 5 short blasts

    Correct Answer
    A. One long one short one long one short
    Explanation
    In an overtaking situation in a narrow channel, the sound signal of one long blast followed by one short blast, repeated in the same sequence, is used. This signal indicates that the overtaken vessel agrees with the overtaking vessel's intention to pass and gives its consent for the maneuver.

    Rate this question:

  • 35. 

    How does an action by give way vessel be effective

    • When she alter course to port

    • When they are insight with one another

    • When done early and substantial

    • When a stand on vessel failed to act

    Correct Answer
    A. When done early and substantial
    Explanation
    When an action by a give way vessel is done early and substantial, it means that the vessel takes prompt and significant measures to avoid a collision. By altering its course to port (left), the give way vessel effectively shows its intention to yield and allows the stand on vessel to maintain its course and speed. This early and substantial action helps in preventing a potential collision and ensures the safety of both vessels.

    Only vessel navigating safely in the fairway of a narrow channel is allowed to use the channel

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The correct answer is False. This statement is incorrect because multiple vessels can navigate safely in the fairway of a narrow channel. The fairway is designed to accommodate the passage of multiple vessels, and as long as they are following the proper rules and regulations, they can all use the channel safely.

    Rate this question:

  • 37. 

    What appropriate action should you take when you are approaching an obscurred bend and found another vessel on the other side of the channel on opposite direction

    • Maintain course and speed and sound one long blast to indicate your presence

    • Alter course to starboard and give a wide room to another vessel

    • Make a 180 degrees turn to avoid collision

    • Sound a five short blast to warn the vessel of her intention

    Correct Answer
    A. Maintain course and speed and sound one long blast to indicate your presence
    Explanation
    When approaching an obscured bend and encountering another vessel on the opposite side of the channel, it is appropriate to maintain course and speed. By doing so, you are indicating that you will continue on your current path and are making your presence known to the other vessel. Additionally, sounding one long blast will further alert the other vessel of your presence and help prevent a potential collision.

    Rate this question:

  • 38. 

    In determining safe speed, all of the following factors shall be taken into account except one

    • Presence of background light

    • State of visibility

    • The length and width of the vessel

    • Maneuverability of your vessel

    Correct Answer
    A. The length and width of the vessel
    Explanation
    When determining safe speed, factors such as the presence of background light, state of visibility, and maneuverability of the vessel are important to consider. However, the length and width of the vessel itself does not directly impact the safe speed. The size of the vessel may affect other aspects such as stability and handling, but it is not a determining factor in setting the safe speed.

    Rate this question:

  • 39. 

    You see a vessel who is required to keep out the way of another is taking an appropriate action in a crossing situation, what will be your possible action as stand on vessel

    • Maintain your course and speed

    • Avoid altering course to port towards the other vessel

    • Increase your speed

    • Sound an appropriate signal for a crossing situation

    Correct Answer
    A. Maintain your course and speed
    Explanation
    As a stand on vessel, your possible action would be to maintain your course and speed. This is because the vessel who is required to keep out of the way of another is already taking appropriate action in the crossing situation. By maintaining your course and speed, you are allowing the give-way vessel to navigate around you safely. Altering course to port towards the other vessel or increasing your speed could potentially create confusion and increase the risk of a collision. Sounding an appropriate signal for a crossing situation is not necessary in this scenario as the other vessel is already taking appropriate action.

    Rate this question:

  • 40. 

    What light or lights can be seen from the overtaken vessel when you are within the 22.5 degrees abaft the beam

    • The masthead lights

    • The sidelights

    • Either the green or the red lights

    • The stern light

    Correct Answer
    A. Either the green or the red lights
    Explanation
    When a vessel is overtaking another vessel, it is required to exhibit either the green or the red lights. These lights are known as the sidelights and are visible from the overtaken vessel when the overtaking vessel is within the 22.5 degrees abaft the beam. The purpose of these lights is to indicate the direction in which the overtaking vessel is approaching from. Therefore, the correct answer is either the green or the red lights.

    Rate this question:

    In an overtaking situation, what rule shall prevail when a vessel cross your bow from an overtaking situation

    • Overtaking situation

    • Overtaking followed by crossing rules

    • Crossing situation

    • Responsibilities between vessels

    Correct Answer
    A. Overtaking situation
    Explanation
    In an overtaking situation, the rule that shall prevail is the overtaking followed by crossing rules. This means that the vessel that is overtaking another vessel has the responsibility to keep clear and avoid crossing the bow of the vessel being overtaken. The vessel being overtaken has the right of way and should maintain its course and speed. This rule helps to ensure safety and prevent collisions during overtaking maneuvers.

    Rate this question:

  • 42. 

    You are an officer on navigational watch, how can a vessel be in sight

    • A vessel seen from the radar with heading and speed know

    • A vessel which you hear a for signal

    • A vessel that can be seen from the bridge visually

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. A vessel that can be seen from the bridge visually
    Explanation
    A vessel can be considered "in sight" if it can be seen visually from the bridge. This means that the officer on navigational watch is able to physically see the vessel with their own eyes. This is the most reliable way to confirm the presence of another vessel and ensure safe navigation.

    Rate this question:

  • 43. 

    Which of the following conditions does not define a vessel constrain by draft

    • The draft is a little less than the depth of the water

    • When she experienced squat

    • When she is in deep water

    • The bottom is near the sea bottom

    Correct Answer
    A. When she is in deep water
    Explanation
    This condition does not define a vessel constrained by draft because being in deep water does not impose any restrictions or limitations on the vessel's draft. The draft of a vessel refers to the vertical distance between the waterline and the deepest part of the vessel below the water's surface. In deep water, the vessel has sufficient depth to navigate without any concerns about draft limitations. Therefore, this condition is not relevant to defining a vessel constrained by draft.

    Rate this question:

  • 44. 

    You are in a restricted visibility and you hear a for singal forward of your port beam, what will be your possible action to avoid collision

    • Sound the appropriate fog signal for the prevailing situation

    • Maintain course and speed

    • Slacken your speed

    • Alter course to port

    Correct Answer
    A. Slacken your speed
    Explanation
    Slackening your speed would be a possible action to avoid collision in restricted visibility if you hear a fog signal forward of your port beam. By reducing your speed, you give yourself more time to assess the situation and react accordingly. This can help prevent a potential collision and give you more control over your vessel in the limited visibility conditions.

    • You are the stand on vessel

    • The vessel that has no sea room for maneuver

    • The vessel that is slow in speed

    • The vessel constrain by draft is the stand on vessel

    Correct Answer
    A. The vessel constrain by draft is the stand on vessel
    Explanation
    The vessel constrained by draft is the stand on vessel because it is restricted in its ability to maneuver due to its draft. As a power-driven vessel, you have the responsibility to give way to the stand on vessel. This is because the stand on vessel has the right of way in this situation.

    What is your best action to take as a give way vessel knowing that a stand on vessel has made an avoiding action on a crossing situation

    • Maintain course and speed

    • Give a wide space

    • Sound the appropriate signal for crossing situation

    • Alter course o starboard towards the vessel on your starboard side

    Correct Answer
    A. Give a wide space
    Explanation
    In a crossing situation, when a stand on vessel has already taken avoiding action, the best action for the give way vessel would be to give a wide space. This means that the give way vessel should alter its course or speed in order to create a significant distance between the two vessels, ensuring a safe passage and avoiding any potential collision. This action allows both vessels to navigate the crossing situation without any risk or interference.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    In a crossing situation, the stand on vessel is indeed relieved of her obligation to give a wide space after a give way vessel has made an action. The stand on vessel has the right of way and the give way vessel must take appropriate action to avoid a collision. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    What will be your action after knowing that another vessel is 5 degrees on your port bow having the same heading with you and closing in a narrow channel

    • Alter course to starboard and pass port to port

    • Maintain course and speed

    • Alter course to port and sound the appropriate signal

    • Alter course to starboard and give way to the vessel on your port bow

    Correct Answer
    A. Alter course to starboard and give way to the vessel on your port bow
    Explanation
    When another vessel is 5 degrees on your port bow, it means that the other vessel is approaching from the left side of your vessel. In this situation, the correct action is to alter course to starboard and give way to the vessel on your port bow. This means that you should steer your vessel to the right and allow the other vessel to pass on your left side. This action helps to avoid a potential collision and follows the standard rules of navigation for vessels encountering each other in a narrow channel.
