    What does the night signal shown tell us about the vessel? - ProProfs

    What does the night signal shown tell us about the vessel?

    • Pilot Vessel

    • Sailing Vessel

    • Fishing Trawler

    • Power driven vessel underway

    • Vessel engaged in dredging

    Correct Answer
    A. Power driven vessel underway
    Explanation
    The night signal shown indicates that the vessel is a power-driven vessel underway. This means that the vessel is using its engine or motor to propel itself through the water, rather than relying on wind or other means of propulsion.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Fill in the blank with the appropriate answer: Every vessel shall at all times maintain a proper look-out by sight and hearing as well as by _____________ appropriate in the prevailing circumstances and conditions so as to make a full appraisal of the situation and of the risk of collision.

    • ARPA, ECDIS, and Radar settings.......

    • Appointing more people to lookout.......

    • All available means........

    • Blasting the fog horn at intervals....

    Correct Answer
    A. All available means........
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "all available means". This means that every vessel should use all possible methods and resources, such as visual observation, listening for sounds, and utilizing any technological equipment like ARPA, ECDIS, and Radar settings, to maintain a proper lookout. This ensures that the vessel is aware of its surroundings, can assess the situation accurately, and can effectively avoid any potential collisions.

    A vessel displaying a flashing blue light is __________.

    • Transferring dangerous cargo

    • A law enforcement vessel

    • Engaged in a race

    • A work boat

    Correct Answer
    A. A law enforcement vessel
    Explanation
    A vessel displaying a flashing blue light is typically a law enforcement vessel. Law enforcement vessels often use flashing blue lights to indicate their presence and authority while carrying out their duties, such as enforcing laws, conducting search and rescue operations, or patrolling waterways. This helps to alert other vessels and individuals to their presence and ensures the safety and security of the area they are operating in.

    What does the day signal shown tell us about the vessel? - ProProfs

    What does the day signal shown tell us about the vessel?

    • Power Driven Vessel Underway

    • Vessel engaged In Towing

    • Vessel Underway, Not Making Way

    • Vessel Engaged in Trawling

    Correct Answer
    A. Vessel Engaged in Trawling
    Explanation
    The day signal for a vessel engaged in trawling typically consists of two cones with their apexes together. This unique day signal indicates that the vessel is actively engaged in fishing with nets (trawling) and might have restricted maneuverability. Understanding these signals is crucial for safe navigation and avoiding potential collisions with vessels performing specific activities.

    What type of vessel exhibits the navigation light pattern of a green light on the starboard side and a red light on the port side when underway?

    • Power-driven vessel

    • Finishing vessels

    • Fishing vessel 

    • RoRo vessel

    Correct Answer
    A. Power-driven vessel
    Explanation
    A power-driven vessel, when underway, exhibits a green light on the starboard (right) side and a red light on the port (left) side. This standard navigation light pattern helps other vessels determine the direction in which the power-driven vessel is moving and ensures safe navigation, especially at night or in poor visibility conditions. This light pattern is common to all power-driven vessels regardless of their specific type or function.

    What type of vessel is it? - ProProfs

    What type of vessel is it?

    • Hovercraft

    • Passenger Ferry

    • Power Vessel under 50m

    • Ship at Anchor

    • Power Vessel over 50M

    Correct Answer
    A. Power Vessel over 50M
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Power Vessel over 50M." This is because the question asks about the type of vessel, and out of the given options, a power vessel over 50 meters in length is the most appropriate choice. The other options, such as hovercraft, passenger ferry, power vessel under 50 meters, and ship at anchor, do not fit the description of the vessel being over 50 meters in length.

    • Vessel Restricted in Her Ability To Maneuver conducting underwater operations where an obstruction exists

    • Trawling Vessel Hauling Nets

    • Vessel engaged in pilotage duties

    • Vessel Constrained by her Draft

    • Vessel Aground

    Correct Answer
    A. Vessel Constrained by her Draft
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Vessel Constrained by her Draft." This means that the vessel is restricted in its ability to maneuver because it has a limited depth due to its draft. A vessel's draft refers to the distance between the waterline and the lowest point of the vessel's hull. When a vessel is constrained by its draft, it cannot navigate in areas where the water is too shallow for its draft, limiting its maneuverability.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Please Review Rule 26 And Fill In The Blanks: (c) A vessel engaged in fishing, other than trawling, shall exhibit: (i) two all-round lights in a vertical line, the upper being red and the lower white, or a shape consisting of two cones with apexes together in a vertical line one above the other; (ii) when there is outlying gear extending more than 150 metres horizontally from the vessel, an all round white light or a ________ upwards in the direction of the gear; (iii) when making way through the water, in addition to the lights prescribed in this paragraph, sidelights and a sternlight.

    • Cylinder

    • Diamond

    • Cone

    • Star

    Correct Answer
    A. Cone
    Explanation
    A vessel engaged in fishing, other than trawling, is required to exhibit two all-round lights in a vertical line, with the upper light being red and the lower light being white. Alternatively, the vessel can display a shape consisting of two cones with apexes together in a vertical line. Additionally, when there is outlying gear extending more than 150 meters horizontally from the vessel, the vessel must display an all-round white light or a cone pointing upwards in the direction of the gear. Therefore, the correct answer is "Cone" as it represents the required light or shape to be displayed in this situation.

    Fill in the Blank with the appropriate answer: Rule 19 of Rules of the Road comes into affect when/ in_________.

    • Night time and clear visibility

    • At all times

    • Overtaking a vessel under normal conditions.

    • Visibilty is restricted

    Correct Answer
    A. Visibilty is restricted
    Explanation
    Rule 19 of Rules of the Road comes into effect when visibility is restricted. This means that the rule applies in situations where the ability to see clearly is limited, such as during fog, heavy rain, or other conditions that impair visibility. In these circumstances, specific guidelines and precautions need to be followed to ensure safety while navigating on the road or waterways.

    Please determine what side of this dredger is it safe to pass on?

    • Pass on the side with two diamonds

    • Pass on the side with two black balls

    • Neither side is safe to pass on, unless a 1nm buffer is maintained when passing.

    Correct Answer
    A. Pass on the side with two diamonds
    Explanation
    Passing on the side with two diamonds is safe because diamonds indicate that it is a safe passage. The presence of two diamonds suggests that there is enough space for another vessel to pass safely without any risk of collision. Therefore, passing on this side ensures the safety of both vessels.

    When power-driven vessels are crossing, a signal of one short blast by either vessel means __________.

    • "I intend to leave you on my port side."

    • "I intend to hold course and speed."

    • "I intend to leave you on my starboard side."

    • "I request a departure from the Rules."

    Correct Answer
    A. "I intend to leave you on my port side."
    Explanation
    In maritime crossing situations between power-driven vessels, a single short blast indicates the intention to leave the other vessel on its port side. This signal communicates the vessel's proposed course of action to avoid a collision, aligning with the rules of navigation to ensure safe passage at sea.
