He does not necessarily have any knowledge of the peculiarities of a particular ship, the capabilities of its crew or, for that matter, its present tactical situation. If his efforts are to be fully effective then all these relevant points must be brought to his attention as soon as he arrives on the bridge and before he legal duty towards the pilot, not only to prepare for his arrival by planning the pilotage stage of the passage, but also during the pilotage to monitor progress and support the pilot in his con. The time available for the transfer of this data is generally quite short, and consequently it is important to have as much as possible prepared beforehand i n plan, there should be the ship’s maneuvering characteristics in diagrammatic form and a standard checklist of items relating to the ship, its equipment and crew status. Only after this procedure has been completed can the pilot take up his duties in safety and only then with the full back-up of the bridge team.69.….. but also during the pilotage to monitor progress and support the pilot in his con.Here “con” means _____.a. connectionb. supportc. confidenced. steering70.What does “peculiarities” mean in the paragraph?a. particularsb. presencec. characteristicsd. necessity71.It is ______ that the pilot can take up his duties in safety.a.after this procedure has been completed and with the full support of the bridge teamb.only after this procedure has been completedc.only with the full support of the bridge teamd.only with the full back-up of the bridge team72.This paragraph is talking about ______.a.handing over the watch to pilotb.taking over the watch from pilotc.handing over the watch to captaind.taking over the watch from captainPASSAGE TWOOvertiredness of bridge team members has been identified as contributing towards several incidents, and regulations are pending that will require positive action to be taken to combat fatigue and ensure that watch-keepers are capable of performing their duties. Judicious planning and man management should, in most cases, alleviate this particular problem.If the extent of high level manning or degree of overwork could not be foreseen, the effect of fatigue on the passage plan must be assessed and acted upon. To press on regardless of the increased risks is like making excessive speed in fog, and could seriously threaten the whole voyage.73. … and regulations are pending that will require positive action to be taken to combat fatigue and ensure that watch-keepers are capable of performing their duties.a. suspendedb. to be settledc. settledd. decided74.

This passage is likely to be under the heading of .A. FORECASTB. GALE WARNINGC. SYNOPSTSD. STORM WARNING PASSAGE FOURThe certainty with which the ship’s position in coa st waters can be known at any moment depends very much on the frequency with known objects can be observed, the accuracy of the techniques used in making the observations, and the accuracy with which the navigator estimate. forces( such as the wind and the tidal stream ) that might set the ship off her desired course. The navigator should always try to reduce the uncertainty in his observations, or at least to recognize the possibility of uncertainty in the techniques be is using. Thus, for example, a range taken by radar is more accurate than a radar bearing, particularly on the bow, a transit of objects marked on the chart has greater certainty than a magnetic compass bearing: a vertical sextant angle and a bearing carries less uncertainty than two bearings: and son on. The prudent navigator masters all the techniques of coastal navigation and at any given moment selects those which give the greatest certainty to his fix or DR position.077. The certainty of ship’s position in coastal waters dep ends on .A. the frequency of known object being observedB. the accuracy of the techniques used in making the observationC. the accuracy of officers’ estimating forces, such as wings and currentsD. All of the above078. How should the nav igator do when observing ship’s position in coastal waters?A. He should uso radar ranges instead of radar bearings, if possibleB. He should always try to make the uncertainty low in his observationC. He should know the possibility of uncertainty in the techniques he is usingD. He should take A, B and C into account079. Which one of the followings is incorrect?A. Winds and currents may deviate your vessel from your desired courseB. A magnetic compass bearing has less uncertainty than a transit of objects marked on thechartC. A vertical sextant angle and a bearing has greater certainty than two bearingsD.
