Welcome to the NEO-COL Assessment Tool

Press start to begin.

1/20

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!

2/20

Which Rules should always be obeyed at all times?

Rules 1, 2, 3, 4 (which applies to 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) None, unless there is a risk of collision. All the Rules The Rules in Fog

3/20

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!

4/20

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.

5/20

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

Turn to Starboard Turn to Port Speed up Do nothing.

6/20

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.

7/20

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.

8/20

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.

9/20

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.

10/20

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

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

11/20

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.

12/20

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.

13/20

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.

14/20

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

15/20

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.

16/20

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.

17/20

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.

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

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

What is ECDIS and can it be used in collision avoidance?

ECDIS is an electronic geographic information system used for nautical navigation and Yes. ECDIS is a European Directive and therefore No. ECDIS is Electronic Coastline Data Identity System and yes ECDIS is East Central District Identity System and yes.
