1.

How should team members apply safety training during pre-voyage lifeboat drills?

a)

Practice evacuation procedures for mechanical failure scenarios

b)

Perform speed adjustments to match critical navigation settings

c)

Update safety margin calculations for the approved route

d)

Provide engine crew updates on propulsion needs

2.

How should officers apply GPS for ensuring alignment with the approved voyage plan during navigation?

a)

Wait for real-time updates from AIS to validate GPS

b)

Cross-check GPS data with ECDIS to confirm the vessel’s position

c)

Use GPS exclusively for shallow-water navigation

d)

Record GPS coordinates only after completing each leg of the voyage

3.

How should ECDIS alarms be applied to support safe navigation during coastal transit?

a)

Disable alarms to focus on manual route monitoring

b)

Use alarms only to track speed violations

c)

Respond promptly to alarms and cross-verify with radar systems

d)

Record alarm data for post-voyage review

4.

In a situation with poor visibility, how should radar data be applied for safe navigation?

a)

Track shorelines and obstacles to adjust the vessel’s course

b)

Use radar solely to monitor the position of nearby vessels

c)

Disable radar to avoid signal clutter during heavy weather

d)

Focus exclusively on landmarks for positional accuracy

5.

How can depth sounder readings be applied to ensure safe passage in shallow waters?

a)

Stop the vessel until the seabed depth stabilizes

b)

Use sounder data to adjust the vessel’s draft and speed

c)

Ignore sounder readings and rely on GPS data alone

d)

Record depth readings only after passing hazardous areas

6.

How can cross-verification of navigational data be applied to detect misrepresentation in ECDIS?

a)

Compare ECDIS data with manual position fixes and GPS readings

b)

Ignore discrepancies if radar data matches the voyage plan

c)

Conduct error detection only at pre-determined waypoints

d)

Focus exclusively on ECDIS alarms for identifying errors

7.

Continuous route monitoring ensures deviations from the planned course are ignored until the next waypoint is reached.

a)

True

b)

False
