Welcome to the NEO-COL Assessment Tool

Press start to begin.

1/20

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

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

2/20

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!

3/20

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.

4/20

Millenium is gaining ground on Auriga and as yet a risk of collision does NOT exist, should any rule should be implemented at this stage?

Yes, Rule 5. Look out. No, no rule applies at this stage. Yes, Rule 16. Action of Give Way vessel. Yes, Rule 6. Safe Speed.

5/20

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.

6/20

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.

7/20

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.

8/20

A fishing vessel is crossing ahead from port to starboard what should you do?

Increase speed to pass ahead of it. Slow down or stop to give way to the fishing vessel. Pass the fishing vessel close to his aft. Hope that the fishing vessel gives way.

9/20

A head on situation existed between both vessel, what should each vessel do?

Turn to Starboard Turn to Port Speed up Do nothing.

10/20

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

11/20

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

12/20

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.

13/20

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.

14/20

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.

15/20

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.

16/20

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!

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

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

19/20

In this collision case, the two vessels engaged in VHF radio communications, which rule requires use of the VHF radio in order to avoid a collision?

Rule 10. Rule 15. Rule 17. No Rule

20/20

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.
