Welcome to the NEO-COL Assessment Tool

Press start to begin.

1/20

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.

2/20

The radar rings are set to 0.5 mile range and a another vessel is heading towards our vessel at a distance of 8.5 miles. What should you do?

Rule 18: Hampered Vessels. As we are being hampered by the oncoming vessel and there is a risk of collision the hampering vessel should give way. Rule 18: Responsibilities between vessels. Except where Rule 9, 10, and 13 are in effect. Allows the north bound vessel right of way! Proceed at a safe speed and see what happens at regular intervals! Turn to starboard - Rule 14 Head on situation.

3/20

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.

4/20

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.

5/20

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

6/20

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

7/20

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.

8/20

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.

9/20

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.

10/20

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.

11/20

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.

12/20

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.

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

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 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.

16/20

Should Radar be used to help in collision avoidance?

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

17/20

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.

18/20

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!

19/20

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.

20/20

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.
