11/20

As both vessels were equipped with Radar what range should the rings be set to?

As both vessels were close to land the range of the rings should have been set to maximum distance. As both vessels are within 10 miles of each and within 10 miles of the coast the rings should be set where the outer ring should include all targets and hazards, say 12 miles. The Minimum range offered by the Radar system. The range rings should be not visible.

12/20

At 22.41 both vessels had not yet sighted each other and had no reason to consider any risk of collision. What Rule should be implemented anyway?

Rule 5. Rule 13. Rule 9. Rule 14.

Your motor cruiser has a sailing vessel crossing from left to right and there is a risk of collision. What should you do?

Slow down or stop to avoid the collision and allow the sailing vessel to cross. As Power gives way to Sail and the other vessel is in sight we should speed up and turn to Starboard. Rule 16: Giving Way: As the Give way vessel we must not hamper the stand on vessel so we should speed up and turn to Port. Call on the VHF radio and ask the sailing vessel to identify itself and get out of the way.

14/20

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.

15/20

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.

16/20

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.

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.

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