Welcome to the NEO-COL Assessment Tool

Press start to begin.

1/20

As Millenium was the overtaking vessel and therefore should have implemented Rule 13., is there any Rule that Auriga should have implemented?

Yes, Rule 5. Look out. Yes, Rule 7. Yes, Rule 9. No.

2/20

This collision resulted from a Head on approach from both vessels. Which rule was not implemented?

Rule 6. Rule 9. Rule 16. Rule 14.

3/20

Could proper use of the Radar by either vessel helped to avoid the collision and if so which Rules should have been implemented?

Yes, Rule 3, 5, 6, and 10. No, the Radar should only be used in fog. Yes, Rules 5, 7, 13, 15 and 6. Yes, Rule 12

4/20

Both vessels where equipped with VHF Radio, could it be used to avoid a collision? Which answer is correct?

The VHF Radio must always be used in collision avoidance. Most Government Maritime authorities disapproves the use of VHF Radio in collision avoidance. Never Only if the skipper is asleep.

5/20

A target vessel is showing a CPA (Closest Point of Approach) of 0.5NM on the ships Radar, what should you do?

The rules do not include the use of Radar so it dose not matter! Turn to starboard, slow down or stop. Speed up! Turn left and have a race!

6/20

As the build up to the collision unfolds, and a Risk of collision now exists, which rule did Millenium not follow?

Rule 14. Head on Situation Rule. 9. Narrow Channels. Rule 13. Overtaking Rule 19. Conduct of Vessels in restricted visability.

7/20

As the risk of collision increased and as Josephine Mearsk failed to implement Rule 15 and Give Way, what action should Spring Glory adopt?

Take evasive action to avoid collision Speed up. Hold course and Speed. Check the phone for messages.

8/20

A power driven vessel is heading towards us and the radar has calculated a CPA (Closest Point of Approach) of 0.5NM, what should you do?

Rule 5-Look out- Call on the vhf radio to check that the oncoming vessel is aware of the situation. Rule 14: Head On Situation: Turn to starboard. Rule 14: Head On Situation: Turn to port. Rule 18: Hampered Vessels: Carry on and miss the other vessel by 0.5NM in order to not be hampered.

9/20

Another vessel up ahead is crossing from right to left and there is a risk of collision. What should you do in this situation?

Rule 6: Safe Speed- Keep the speed the same and turn to Port and come along side the other vessel before slowing and turning back on course. Rule 15: Crossing situation- Slow down. stop or turn to starboard and pass behind the other vessel Rule 5 : Keep a good look out should be implemented now as a risk of collision exists. Call the crossing vessel on vhf radio and agree a plan of action to avoid a collision.

10/20

What is the CPA function of the Radar and how would it help in potential collision situations?

The CPA means Call Police Always when vessels are speeding. CPA means Closest Point of Approach and can be used on selected targets to determine how close another vessel might pass The CPA function helps with the sound of the sea. The CPA means Caught Passing Ahead and it dosen't help with anything.

11/20

In this situation you are the Spring Glory skipper. What would you do is this situation?

Turn to Port Speed up. Stop, slow down or turn to starboard. Do nothing.

12/20

A Fishing vessel is crossing from right to left and there exists a risk of collision, what should you do?

Speed up and cut in front of the fishing vessel in order to get passed quickly. Call on the vhf radio to discuss options? Call on the radio and ask what fish he has caught? Slow down or stop and allow the fishing vessel and his lines or nets to pass safely.

13/20

In a traffic separation Scheme what are the Rules in a Head on Situation?

Follow Rule 14. Follow Rule 10 only. Follow Rule 9. Follow Rule 13.

14/20

What is the VRM function on the Radar and what help could it have provided to either vessel prior to the collision?

It is the Velocity Round Mileage and would only help with day time situations. The Variable Range Marker would show a distance and bearing to another target. The VRM is for weather forecasting. It is Vector for Rounding-up Meters.

15/20

What can the Radar offer in a Head on collision Situation?

Nothing unless it is dark Early warning of other vessels in the area Help with Rule 15 Help with Rule 18.

16/20

What is the MARPA function on the RADAR?

It is a Fishing Association. Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid Maritime and Rescue Professional Association Sea Map

17/20

A Sailing vessel is up ahead we are planning to overtake, at present we are the give way vessel. When do we become the stand on vessel?

We don't because we are power and he is sail. When we are very close behind and he waves us past. When we are beyond abaft the beam. When we can the whites of there eyes.

18/20

What is the ARPA function on a RADAR?

Automatic Radar Plotting Aid Arial Room Photo Accent All Round the Pub for Ale Automatic Running Propeller Act

19/20

With the view above from the bridge of the Spring Glory, Who should Give Way and what action should be taken?

Spring Glory is NOT the Give Way vessel and should therefore speed up. Spring Glory is NOT the Give Way vessel and should therefore turn left. Spring Glory is the Give Way vessel and should therefore slow down or turn to starboard. Josephine Mearsk is the Give Way vessel and should therefore call the other vessel on the VHF Radio.
