Sea 1 Midterm (40 Items)

The International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships 1969 was not implemented in the same year.

Stem rake refers to the angle at which the stem (front) of a vessel inclines from the vertical line of the vessel. It is the measurement of how much the stem leans forward or backward. This measurement is important as it affects the vessel's performance and stability in different sea conditions. A greater stem rake can improve the vessel's ability to cut through waves and reduce slamming, while a smaller stem rake can enhance maneuverability.

The purpose of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is to provide rules and regulations concerning ship management. This means that the IMO aims to establish standards and guidelines for the safe and efficient operation of ships, as well as addressing environmental concerns and promoting maritime security. By providing these rules and regulations, the IMO helps to ensure the smooth functioning and regulation of the shipping industry on a global scale.

A partial container vessel uses the traverse method of cargo handling. This method involves loading and unloading cargo by moving it horizontally across the ship's deck using cranes or other equipment. Partial container vessels are designed to carry a combination of containers and other types of cargo, such as breakbulk or project cargo. The traverse method allows for efficient and flexible handling of different types of cargo, as containers can be easily moved and positioned on the vessel's deck.

The correct answer is "cargo handling gear" because it refers to mechanical devices that are used to load or discharge cargoes from vessels to piers and vice versa. This term encompasses various types of equipment such as cranes and derricks that are specifically designed for handling cargo in ports and harbors.

The two letters painted on the plimsoll line stand for the initials of the classification society. The classification society is responsible for ensuring that ships meet certain safety and quality standards. By painting their initials on the plimsoll line, the classification society indicates that the ship has been inspected and meets the necessary requirements. This helps to ensure the safety of the ship and its crew while at sea.

Lloyd's Register determines its length between perpendiculars by measuring the distance between the aft and forward perpendiculars, which is known as the LBP (Length Between Perpendiculars). This measurement is typically 96% - 97% of the summer loadline, which is the maximum allowable draft for a ship in various conditions. By using this method, Lloyd's Register can accurately determine the ship's length between perpendiculars.

LOA stands for Length Overall and refers to the maximum length of a ship from the forwardmost point on the bow to the aftermost point on the stern, including any protrusions or extensions. It is the longest length measured and provides an accurate representation of the ship's overall size. LBP (Length Between Perpendiculars) is the length measured between the perpendiculars at the forward and aft ends of the ship's hull, excluding any extensions. LWL (Length Waterline) is the length of the ship along the waterline when it is fully loaded. LLOYD'S LENGTH is not a recognized term in ship dimensions.

The question is asking which one is not in the same types of derrick riggings as the others. The options provided are single swinging derricks, stulcken derrick, butterfly rig, and cranes. Out of these options, cranes do not fall under the category of derrick riggings. Cranes are a type of lifting machine that use cables and pulleys, whereas derrick riggings refer to specific types of structures used in drilling and lifting operations. Therefore, cranes are the correct answer as they do not belong to the same types of derrick riggings as the other options.

The correct answer is "it was the idea of the international sea-borne." The formation of the IMO was initiated by the international sea-borne community, who recognized the need for an organization to address maritime safety and pollution prevention. This idea was brought forward by various stakeholders in the maritime industry, leading to the establishment of the IMO as a specialized agency of the United Nations in 1959. The organization's primary goal is to promote safe, secure, and efficient shipping on a global scale.

As a French ship owner planning to have your vessel built in Korea and classified by French authority, you should register your vessel under the classification society "Bureau of Veritas." Bureau Veritas is a well-known and respected classification society that provides services for the maritime industry, including ship classification, certification, and inspection. Registering with Bureau Veritas ensures that your vessel meets the necessary safety and quality standards set by the French authority.

The correct answer is fire line cable wire. A simple derrick typically consists of a topping lift cable wire, side guy cable wire, and cargo runner cable wire. These cables are essential for the stability and functionality of the derrick. However, a fire line cable wire is not commonly found in a simple derrick. It is more likely to be used in firefighting or emergency situations rather than in the construction or operation of a derrick.

The common factor among derrick, crane, sling, blocks, and shackle is the safe working load. Safe working load refers to the maximum weight or load that a piece of equipment can safely handle without causing damage or compromising safety. In the context of ship equipment, all of these items need to have a specified safe working load to ensure the safe and efficient operation of cargo handling and lifting tasks.

The correct answer is Indian Register. In this scenario, as a Filipino ship owner planning to have the vessel built in the Philippines, the classification society under which the vessel would be registered is the Indian Register. The letters "IR" found on the plimsoll line indicate that the vessel is registered with the Indian Register.

The correct answer is "lowest part of the vessel / SLL." When measuring the extreme draft of a vessel, the reference point is the lowest part of the vessel, which is typically the bottom of the hull. The SLL (Summer Load Line) is a reference line marked on the hull that indicates the maximum draft allowed for the vessel when it is loaded to its full capacity during the summer season. Therefore, the extreme draft of the vessel is measured from the lowest part of the vessel to the SLL.

The deadweight tonnage of a ship refers to the total weight that a ship can carry in terms of cargo, fuel, and other supplies. It is a measure of the carrying capacity of the ship. Gross tonnage, net tonnage, and light displacement tonnage are all different measurements that do not directly represent the carrying capacity of the ship. Therefore, the deadweight tonnage is the highest figure among all the given ship measurements in tonnes.

The governing body of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is the assembly. The assembly is responsible for making important decisions and setting policies for the organization. It consists of representatives from member states and meets once every two years to discuss and address various maritime issues. As the highest decision-making body, the assembly plays a crucial role in shaping the IMO's agenda and promoting safety and security in international shipping.

Tonnage refers to the total weight of a vessel, where 100 cubic feet is equivalent to 1 ton. This measurement allows for a standardized way of comparing the weight of different vessels. It does not refer to the actual weight of the vessel or its volume of confined spaces, but rather the weight capacity of the vessel.

The term given to the support wire between the two derricks of a union purchase holding them tight when strongly secured is called a slewing guy.

During the quadrennial inspection of the cargo gear, a drilling test is conducted. This suggests that the drilling test is specifically done during this inspection, indicating that the statement is true.

Ships are indeed restricted to the classification society of the country where they are registered. The classification society is responsible for ensuring that the ship meets certain standards and regulations. Therefore, a ship registered in one country will typically be subject to the rules and regulations of that country's classification society.

The statement is false because sheer refers to the upward curve of a ship's deck from bow to stern, not a longitudinal curvature.

The correct answer is "is she possess the requirements for a classification society." In order for an unclassed vessel to acquire its safety construction certificate, it must meet the requirements set by a classification society. This includes factors such as the vessel's design, strength, and compliance with safety standards. If the vessel meets these requirements, it can obtain a safety construction certificate.

The deadweight tonnage of a vessel is determined by adding all the weights of the cargo, ballast, freshwater, machinery, and provisions. This calculation takes into account the total weight that the vessel can carry, including its cargo and necessary supplies. By adding these weights together, the deadweight tonnage can be accurately determined.

When the revenue earning capacity of a vessel is known, it means that the amount of money the vessel can generate through its operations is determined. The net registered tonnage (NRT) is a measurement of a vessel's earning capacity, as it represents the total volume of cargo or passengers that a vessel can carry. Therefore, if the revenue earning capacity is known, it implies that the NRT is also known, making the statement true.

The correct answer is the classification society. The classification society is responsible for assessing and certifying the tonnage of a vessel based on international standards. They have the expertise and authority to issue an International Tonnage Certificate, which confirms the vessel's tonnage measurement and compliance with international regulations. This certificate is important for the vessel's registration, insurance, and compliance with safety requirements. The maritime authority of the country where the vessel is registered may also be involved in the certification process, but the classification society is primarily responsible for issuing the International Tonnage Certificate.

The correct answer is the hauling part comes off from the standing block. In a rigging system, the hauling part refers to the rope or line that is used to apply force or tension to move or lift an object. The standing block is a fixed point or block that provides support and stability. In order to make a rig that puts a purchase to a disadvantage, the hauling part needs to come off from the standing block. This means that the force or tension applied to the hauling part will be working against the stability provided by the standing block, making it more difficult to move or lift the object.

The correct answer is "only at the edge". This means that the thumblehome will only be drawn starting from the edge. This suggests that the thumblehome cannot be drawn from the bottom, the summer loadline, or the loadline mark. The information provided implies that the only acceptable starting point for drawing the thumblehome is the edge.

The tonnage certificate is indeed a requirement set out for a maximum freeboard. Freeboard refers to the distance between the waterline and the upper deck level of a ship. It is important to ensure that ships have sufficient freeboard to maintain stability and prevent flooding. The tonnage certificate provides information about the ship's volume and tonnage, which is used to determine the minimum freeboard required for the vessel. Therefore, the statement is true.

The correct answer is the country on the classification society's choice. When a Japanese ship owner plans to have their vessel classified by Lloyd's Register, the classification society determines the country where the vessel will be built. This means that the ship owner does not have the freedom to choose any country for the construction of their vessel, but rather it is determined by the classification society's choice.

The correct answer is hallen universal. The hallen universal rigging is suitable for raising a cargo boom to an angle up to 85 degrees. This type of rigging is designed to provide stability and support for heavy loads, allowing for safe and efficient lifting operations. It is a commonly used rigging system in the industry due to its versatility and ability to handle various types of cargo.

The net tonnage of a vessel is important because it can be used as a basis for determining the port dues. Port dues are fees charged by a port authority for the use of their facilities and services. The net tonnage, which represents the earning capacity of the vessel, is often used as a factor in calculating these fees. By considering the net tonnage, port authorities can ensure that ships are charged fairly based on their size and capacity.

The statement is incorrect because to measure the moulded draft, it should cover the distance from the base line to the lowest point of the vessel's hull, not the waterline. The moulded draft is the vertical distance between the waterline and the bottom of the vessel's hull. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Butterfly derrick rigging refers to a type of rigging system used in the maritime industry. In this type of rigging, one of the booms can be plummed on the quay side. This means that one of the booms can be aligned vertically with the quay or dockside, allowing for efficient loading and unloading of cargo from the ship. This feature makes butterfly derrick rigging advantageous for operations involving heavy lifting and cargo transfer.

The primary purpose of a classification society is to set out standards on the strength of a vessel. This means that the society establishes guidelines and regulations that ensure the structural integrity and safety of the vessel. These standards are crucial for maintaining the overall strength and stability of the vessel, which is necessary for its safe operation in various conditions. By setting these standards, the classification society plays a vital role in ensuring the quality and seaworthiness of the vessels in international trade.

The statement is false because a vessel is not said to be on its displacement tonnage by looking at its waterline on a given draft. Displacement tonnage refers to the weight of water that a vessel displaces when it is fully loaded. It is calculated by measuring the volume of water that the vessel displaces and converting it into weight. The waterline and draft of a vessel can provide information about its buoyancy and stability, but it does not directly determine its displacement tonnage.

The Stulcken derrick is the type of derrick rigging that can carry heavy cargoes.

IMO stands for the International Maritime Organization, which is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for promoting maritime safety and preventing marine pollution. IMO rules and regulations are internationally recognized and set out the standards and requirements for various aspects of maritime operations. In this case, IMO rules and regulations include the requirements for a minimum freeboard, which is the distance between the waterline and the main deck of a ship. These rules ensure that ships are designed and built with sufficient stability and buoyancy to safely navigate and withstand various weather conditions.

Gross register tonnes is a measure of the total volume capacity of a vessel in tonnes. It represents the total volume of all confined spaces within the vessel. It is not related to the weight of the vessel, but rather the volume it can hold.

The correct answer is the maritime authority where she is registered. The International Tonnage Certificate is issued by the maritime authority of the country where the vessel is registered. This certificate is used to determine the vessel's tonnage for the purpose of calculating various fees and taxes. The maritime authority is responsible for ensuring that the vessel meets all the necessary requirements and regulations to be issued this certificate. The classification society sets the standards for the vessel, but they do not have the authority to directly issue the International Tonnage Certificate.
