Study Notes
Safety and Navigation
- Automatic sprinklers in accommodation are required to protect against fire according to SOLAS II-2/12.4.
- The Block Coefficient refers to the ratio of the volume of a ship's hull to the volume of a rectangular block of the same length, breadth, and depth.
Bridge Operations
- When the Master and Pilot are on the bridge, the Officer of the Watch is responsible for navigating the vessel.
- To ensure familiarity with navigational and safety equipment, a new deck officer should inspect the equipment, read the manuals, and ask questions.
Search and Rescue
- When an assisting aircraft flies across a vessel's stern rocking its wings during a search and rescue activity, it typically indicates that the aircraft has located the vessel in distress.
- International aeronautical distress frequencies (amplitude modulation) carried by designated SAR aircraft and civil aircraft are 121.5 MHz and 243.0 MHz.
Rescue Operations
- When launching a rescue boat, the best heading of a ship is downwind to minimize environmental effects.
- A tug can use a grappling device to get a line aboard a disabled vessel in bad weather, when it is dangerous for the tug to get too close.
Collision Regulations
- When a ship is being overtaken by another while proceeding along a river, the required procedure according to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions is to port-to-port passing.
Ship Operations
- A spade rudder is the most common type of rudder.
- To increase the rate of turn but not the forward speed of a ship that is turning slowly with the rudder hard over and the propeller stopped, the propeller can be started in the astern direction.
Oil Tankers
- Oil tankers are only allowed to load maximum 98% of the tank capacity when loading oil to prevent overflow and environmental damage.
- When documenting Crude Oil Washing operations in the Oil Record Book, the following must be included: date, time, location, and volume of oil washed.
