Welcome to the NEO-COL Assessment Tool

Press start to begin.

1/20

Could correct use of Radar have helped avoid the collision and if so why?

Yes, because the Radar will help see rocks under the water. Yes because the radar can detect rain. Yes because the Radar, used correctly has a number of functions that will detect, calculate and warn the user of other targets that could be dangers No. Yes because the Radar only works in the dark.

2/20

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.

3/20

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.

4/20

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.

5/20

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.

6/20

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.

7/20

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

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

8/20

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.

9/20

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.

10/20

You are gaining on a power driven vessel which is ahead to the port quarter and your Radar has calculated a CPA of 0.5 NM to his Starboard side in 37mins, what should do?

Rule 6- Safe Speed-Speed up and pass quickly hoping the other vessel stays on his course. Implement Rule 13. Follow Rule 14. Rule 5-Look out- Keep checking the situation at regular intervals and see if a close pass is possible.

11/20

Should Radar be used to help in collision avoidance?

Yes Only if its Dark Only if its Night time and Foggy No

12/20

A fishing boat is fishing with long lines from her stern and is crossing from right to left, who is the give way vessel and what action should you take?

The fishing vessel is the give way vessel and should stop fishing and give the fish a chance to breed! The fishing vessel should give way and stop. We are the give way vessel and should slow down or stop. Fishing vessel are always the give way vessels and should do some fishing somewhere else!

13/20

A fishing vessel is crossing from your starboard side and there exists a risk of collision. Which rules apply?

Rule 15, Rule 14, Rule 16, and Rule 6 Rule 15 and Rule 7. Rule 3, 7, 10 Rule 16, 17 and 19.

14/20

Another cargo vessel is crossing from left to right, if no risk of collision exists who is the give way vessel?

Me Them Both Nobody

15/20

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.

16/20

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

17/20

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.

18/20

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.

19/20

A cargo ship is up ahead and you plan to over take, there is no risk of collision but who is the give way vessel at this stage?

The other vessel is the give way vessel because he is going slower. The other vessel is the give way vessel because he is in the way. We are the give way vessel until we are beyond abaft the beam of the other vessel. Both vessels should give way.

20/20

A target vessel is showing on our Radar screen and the rings are set to 6NM range. At what time intervals should you plot its position?

Every 6 minutes or every 3 minutes Every 5 mins or 10 mins Every 2 mins or 4 mins Every 10 minutes.
