Marine Automation Quiz

Why is marine automation essential in maritime operations?

• It increases human labor involvement

• It slows down ship functions

• It enhances safety, efficiency, and sustainability

• It eliminates the need for regulations

One of the key safety benefits of marine automation is:

• Encouraging manual control

• Reducing the need for training

• Minimizing human error

• Increasing human error

Which of the following best describes a closed-loop system?

• A system with no feedback

• A system that performs actions without monitoring results

• A manually operated system

• A system that uses feedback to adjust performance

An example of a closed-loop system in a ship is:

• Light switch

• Air conditioning with a thermostat

• Manual valve operation

• Bell alarm system

Which system operates based on a fixed sequence of steps?

• On-off system

• Sequential control system

• Continuous control system

• Open-loop system

Which of the following best describes the relationship between marine automation and environmental sustainability?

• It increases carbon emissions

• It has no impact on environmental monitoring

• It optimizes fuel consumption and enables environmental monitoring

• It only affects vessel speed

What kind of control system is used for maintaining a variable value like temperature or pressure over time?

• Sequential

• On-off

• Continuous

• Open-loop

When implementing sequential control in marine systems, what is a primary consideration?

• Random execution of steps

• Predetermined order of operations

• Elimination of all automation

• Continuous operation only

What is the role of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) regarding automation?

• Hiring automation experts

• Supplying spare parts

• Building ships

• Setting international standards and regulations

Which of the following best defines an open-loop system?
