Question 551
Question: The vessel shown in illustration D025DG has broken down and you are going to take her in tow. The wind is coming from her starboard beam. You are making more leeway than she. Where should you position your vessel when you start running lines?
A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
The correct answer is A. When taking a vessel in tow, you should position your vessel slightly ahead and to the windward (starboard) side of the disabled vessel. This allows you to maintain control and minimize the effects of leeway and wind on the tow. With the wind coming from the starboard beam, positioning your vessel at position A will allow you to run the tow lines effectively and maintain the tow without being blown down and behind the disabled vessel. The other options are incorrect because B would place you in a less advantageous position relative to the wind, C would put you directly astern and susceptible to leeway, and D would locate you too far to leeward, making it difficult to control the tow.
Question 552
Question: The vessel shown in illustration D025DG has broken down and you are going to take her in tow. The wind is on her starboard beam. Both vessels are making the same amount of leeway. Where should you position your vessel when you start running lines?
A. A
B. D
C. C
D. B
The correct answer is C. When towing a vessel with the wind on its starboard beam, you should position your vessel on the port quarter of the disabled vessel. This allows your vessel to be in the best position to counteract the vessel's tendency to fall off to starboard due to the wind and current. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) would not allow you to effectively counteract the vessel's tendency to fall off; B) would put your vessel too far aft and unable to control the tow properly; and D) would put your vessel on the wrong side, unable to apply sufficient force to keep the tow on course.
Question 554
Question: The vessel shown in illustration D025DG has broken down and you are going to take her in tow. The wind is on her starboard beam. She is making more leeway than you. Where should you position your vessel when you start running lines?
A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
The correct answer is D. When towing a vessel that is making more leeway than the towing vessel, the proper position for the towing vessel is to the leeward side of the disabled vessel. This allows the towing vessel to maintain control and position while running the tow lines. Positioning the towing vessel to the windward side would result in the disabled vessel drifting away from the towing vessel, making it more difficult to establish and maintain the tow. The other options are incorrect because they do not take into account the wind direction and the disabled vessel's increased leeway. Positioning the towing vessel ahead (A), astern (B), or to the windward side (C) of the disabled vessel would be less favorable for establishing and maintaining the tow.
Question 879
Question: As seen in illustration D004SA below, what action must be taken before inserting a low-velocity fog applicator into an all-purpose nozzle?
A. remove the high-velocity nozzle tip
B. move the handle to position 1
C. move the handle to position 2
D. install the high-velocity nozzle tip
The correct answer is A) remove the high-velocity nozzle tip. To insert a low-velocity fog applicator into an all-purpose nozzle, the high-velocity nozzle tip must first be removed. This is because the low-velocity fog applicator is designed to be used with a lower-pressure, wider spray pattern compared to the high-velocity nozzle tip. Attempting to insert the low-velocity applicator without first removing the high-velocity nozzle tip could damage the equipment or create an improper spray pattern. The other options (B, C, and D) are incorrect because they do not address the necessary step of removing the high-velocity nozzle tip before inserting the low-velocity fog applicator.

Question: In illustration D012SA below, what will be released when pulling on line number 5?
A. Tricing pendant
B. Gripes
C. Frapping line
D. Lifeboat
The correct answer is A) Tricing pendant. When pulling on line number 5 in illustration D012SA, the tricing pendant will be released. The tricing pendant is a line used to hoist and secure the lifeboat when it is not in use, keeping it lifted and away from the ship's side. Pulling on line 5 is the mechanism to release the tricing pendant and allow the lifeboat to be lowered into the water. The other options are incorrect because: B) Gripes are lines used to secure the lifeboat to the ship, C) Frapping lines are used to tighten the lashings on the lifeboat, and D) Releasing the lifeboat itself is a separate operation from releasing the tricing pendant.
Question 1294
Question: In illustration D011SA below, what does the item labeled number (1
A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
The correct answer is A. In the illustration D011SA, the item labeled number (1) represents the anchor. This is based on the standard nautical symbol and convention for depicting an anchor in navigation charts and illustrations. The anchor symbol (1) in the illustration matches the standard representation of an anchor used in maritime navigation. The other options (B, C, D) do not correspond to the anchor symbol in the given illustration.
Question 1295
Question: The lever shown in illustration D013SA below is operated when a lifeboat is which of the following positions?
A. being lowered to sea level
B. at the embarkation deck
C. in the secured position
D. waterborne
The correct answer is D) waterborne. The lever shown in illustration D013SA is operated when the lifeboat is in the waterborne position, meaning it has been lowered to the water and is no longer connected to the ship. This lever is used to release the lifeboat from the falls (ropes/wires) that lower it, allowing the lifeboat to float freely once it reaches the water. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) the lifeboat is still connected to the ship during lowering, B) the lifeboat is at the embarkation deck and not yet waterborne, and C) the lifeboat is in the secured position, not yet lowered to the water.
Question 1296
Question: In illustration D016SA below, what number indicates the frapping line?
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
The correct answer is B) 2, which indicates the frapping line in the illustration D016SA. The frapping line is a line used to secure a bight or loop in a larger rope, such as a mooring line or anchor rode. In the illustration, the number 2 is clearly pointing to the frapping line, which is used to tighten and secure the larger rope. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not correspond to the frapping line in the illustration. Option A (1) likely refers to the larger rope or line, option C (3) may refer to another component of the rigging, and option D (4) does not appear to indicate any relevant feature in the image.
Question 1297
Question: In illustration D012SA below, what is the mechanism that will release the tricing pendant?
A. a 3/4" shackle
B. the fore and aft gripes
C. the McCluny hook
D. a quick release lever
The correct answer is C) the McCluny hook. The McCluny hook is a type of quick-release mechanism commonly used to secure tricing pendants on lifeboats and other maritime equipment. When the McCluny hook is released, it allows the tricing pendant to detach, enabling the equipment to be deployed quickly and safely in an emergency. This mechanism is specifically designed and regulated for use in these situations to provide a reliable and easy-to-operate release system. The other options are incorrect because a 3/4" shackle (A) is not a release mechanism, the fore and aft gripes (B) secure the lifeboat to the ship rather than the tricing pendant, and a quick release lever (D) is a more generic term that does not specifically refer to the McCluny hook design.
Question 1792
Question: You are reading the draft marks as shown in illustration D032DG. The water level forward is at the top of the 8, and the mean water level aft is at the top of the 8. What is the mean draft?
A. 8'00"
B. 8'06"
C. 8'03"
D. 7'06"
The correct answer is B) 8'06". The mean draft is calculated by taking the average of the forward and aft draft marks. In this case, the forward draft is at the top of the 8, which indicates 8 feet, and the aft draft is also at the top of the 8, which also indicates 8 feet. Therefore, the mean draft is the average of these two measurements, which is 8 feet and 6 inches (8'06"). The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the average of the forward and aft draft marks provided in the illustration.
Question 1793
Question: You are reading the draft marks as shown in illustration D032DG. The water level forward is 4 inches below the 11, and the water level aft is 2 inches below the top of the 11. What is the mean draft?
A. 11'-00"
B. 11'-08"
C. 11'-06"
D. 11'-04"
The correct answer is A) 11'-00". To calculate the mean draft, you need to average the forward and aft draft measurements. The water level forward is 4 inches below the 11, which means the forward draft is 10'8". The water level aft is 2 inches below the top of the 11, which means the aft draft is also 10'8". The mean draft is the average of these two measurements, which is 10'8" or 11'-00". The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the mean draft based on the provided information. Option B) 11'-08" and C) 11'-06" are too high, while option D) 11'-04" is too low.
Question 1794
Question: You are reading the draft marks as shown in illustration D032DG. The water level is at the top of number 8. What is the draft?
A. 7'-09"
B. 8'-03"
C. 8'-00"
D. 8'-06"
The correct answer is D) 8'-06". The water level is shown at the top of the number 8 on the draft marks, indicating a draft of 8 feet. The fractions are marked in 3-inch increments, so the additional 6 inches makes the total draft 8 feet and 6 inches, or 8'-06". The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) 7'-09" is too low based on the water level at the top of the 8 mark. B) 8'-03" is too low, as the water level is clearly at the top of the 8, not the 3. C) 8'-00" is too low, as the water level is above the 8 foot mark.
Question 1795
Question: You are reading the draft marks as shown in illustration D032DG. The water level is about 4 inches below the bottom of the number 11. What is the draft?
A. 10'-08"
B. 10'-10"
C. 11'-04"
D. 11'-08"
The correct answer is A) 10'-08". The water level is about 4 inches below the bottom of the number 11, which indicates a draft of 10 feet and 8 inches. This is based on the standard practice of reading draft marks on a vessel, where the water level corresponds to the draft. The other options are incorrect because 10'-10" is too high, 11'-04" is too high, and 11'-08" is too high for the given water level in the illustration.
Question 1796
Question: You are reading the draft marks as shown in illustration D032DG. The water level is about 4 inches below the bottom of 10. What is the draft?
A. 10'-04"
B. 9'-04"
C. 9'-08"
D. 10'-02"
The correct answer is C) 9'-08". The draft is determined by the water level in relation to the draft marks on the vessel. Since the water level is about 4 inches below the bottom of the 10-foot mark, the actual draft is 9 feet and 8 inches. The other options are incorrect because A) 10'-04" is above the water level, B) 9'-04" is 4 inches too low, and D) 10'-02" is 2 inches too high compared to the observed water level.
Question 1797
Question: You are reading the draft marks as shown in illustration D032DG. The top 2 inches of the 9 forward is visible above the water level, and the water level is four inches below the 10 aft. What is the mean draft?
A. 9'-10"
B. 9'-06"
C. 9'-04"
D. 9'-02"
The correct answer is B) 9'-06". To arrive at this answer, we need to calculate the mean draft based on the information provided: - The top 2 inches of the 9 forward is visible above the water level - The water level is 4 inches below the 10 aft This means the draft at the forward is 9 feet minus 2 inches, which is 8'-10". The draft at the aft is 10 feet minus 4 inches, which is 9'-08". The mean draft is the average of these two measurements, which is 9'-06". The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the mean draft based on the given information.
Question 1798
Question: You are reading the draft marks as shown in illustration D032DG. The water level is at the bottom of number 11. What is the draft?
A. 10'-09"
B. 11'-00"
C. 11'-06"
D. 10'-06"
The correct answer is B) 11'-00". The draft is determined by the water level in relation to the draft marks on the ship's hull. In the illustration D032DG, the water level is at the bottom of the number 11, indicating a draft of 11 feet. The other options are incorrect because: A) 10'-09" is too low, as the water level is above the 11-foot mark. C) 11'-06" is too high, as the water level is at the bottom of the 11-foot mark, not the 11.5-foot mark. D) 10'-06" is too low, as the water level is above the 11-foot mark.
Question 1799
Question: You are reading the draft marks as shown in illustration D032DG. The top 2 inches of number "9" are visible above the waterline. What is the draft?
A. 8'-10"
B. 9'-02"
C. 9'-04"
D. 9'-08"
The correct answer is C) 9'-04". The draft mark shown in the illustration indicates that the top 2 inches of the number "9" are visible above the waterline. This means the draft of the vessel is 9 feet and 4 inches, as the full height of the number "9" is typically 11 inches. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the draft reading shown in the illustration. Options A and B would indicate a draft that is either shorter or longer than what is visible, while option D would be an overestimation of the actual draft.
Question 1801
Question: You are reading the draft marks as shown in illustration D032DG. The water level forward leaves about 4 inches of the 11 visible, and the water level aft is at the top of the 10. What is the mean draft?
A. 10'-06"
B. 10'-08"
C. 10'-10"
D. 11'-02"
The correct answer is C) 10'-10". The mean draft is calculated by taking the average of the forward and aft draft readings. In this case, the forward draft is 11 inches minus 4 inches, which is 7 inches. The aft draft is at the top of the 10, which is 10 inches. The average of these two readings is (7 inches + 10 inches) / 2 = 8.5 inches, which equals 10 feet and 10 inches. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the average of the forward and aft draft readings provided in the problem statement.
Question 1832

A. 6 tons
B. 12 tons
C. 18 tons
D. 24 tons
The correct answer is B) 12 tons. The key to solving this problem is understanding how the vessel's draft changes as cargo is loaded. Given that the vessel's draft increases by 1 inch for every 6 tons of cargo loaded, and the current drafts are FWD 6'-01" and AFT 6'-10", we can calculate the additional cargo that can be loaded while maintaining the same trim. The increase in draft from the 11 tons of deck cargo is 11 / 6 = 1.83 inches. To maintain the same trim, the vessel can load an additional 12 tons of cargo, which would increase the draft by another 12 / 6 = 2 inches, resulting in a new draft of FWD 6'-03" and AFT 7'-00". Therefore, the correct answer is B) 12 tons. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately account for the relationship between cargo loading and draft changes.
Question 2287
Question: Your drafts are: FWD 5'-11", AFT 6'-11". From past experience, you know that the vessel will increase her draft 1 inch for every 7 tons loaded. There is rig water on board and 16 tons of deck cargo. How many more tons of cargo can be loaded and still maintain the same trim? See illustration D037DG below.
A. 8 tons
B. 12 tons
C. 10 tons
D. 14 tons
The correct answer is D) 14 tons. Here's the explanation: 1. The vessel's current draft is FWD 5'-11" and AFT 6'-11". This means the vessel's current trim is 1 foot. 2. According to the information provided, the vessel will increase its draft by 1 inch for every 7 tons loaded. With 16 tons of deck cargo already on board, the vessel can take on an additional 14 tons and maintain the same 1 foot of trim. 3. The other options are incorrect because 8 tons (A) would not be enough to maintain the same trim, while 10 tons (C) and 12 tons (B) would result in a change in the vessel's trim. 4. Therefore, the correct answer is D) 14 tons, as this is the maximum additional cargo that can be loaded while maintaining the same 1 foot of trim.
Question 2288
Question: Your drafts are: FWD 5'-08", AFT 6'-02". From past experience, you know that the vessel will increase her draft 1 inch for every 8 tons loaded. There is rig water on board and 11 tons of deck cargo. How many more tons of cargo can be loaded and still maintain the same trim? See illustration D037DG below.
A. None
B. 10 tons
C. 18 tons
D. 24 tons
The correct answer is D) 24 tons. The explanation is as follows: 1. The vessel's draft is FWD 5'-08" and AFT 6'-02", which indicates the vessel is already trimmed by the stern. With 11 tons of deck cargo on board, the vessel will increase its draft by 1 inch for every 8 tons loaded. To maintain the same trim, the vessel can load an additional 24 tons of cargo before the draft changes. 2. This is based on the principle that to maintain the same trim, the change in draft forward and aft must be proportional. By loading an additional 24 tons, the vessel will increase its draft by 3 inches (24 tons / 8 tons per inch), which will keep the same trim. 3. The other options are incorrect because Option A) None would not allow any additional cargo to be loaded, Option B) 10 tons would not maintain the same trim, and Option C) 18 tons would not be sufficient to maintain the same trim.
Question 2289
Question: Your drafts are: FWD 6'-02", AFT 6'-08". From past experience, you know that the vessel will increase her draft 1 inch for every 6 tons loaded.

A. 6 tons
B. 12 tons
C. 18 tons
D. 24 tons
The correct answer is A) 6 tons. The explanation is as follows: 1. Confirm which answer is correct: The correct answer is A) 6 tons. 2. Explain the reasoning or regulation that makes it correct: Given the initial drafts of FWD 6'-02" and AFT 6'-08", and that the vessel will increase its draft by 1 inch for every 6 tons loaded, the maximum additional cargo that can be loaded to maintain the same trim is 6 tons. 3. Explain why the other options are incorrect: Options B) 12 tons, C) 18 tons, and D) 24 tons would result in an unbalanced trim, as the vessel would sink deeper in the water at the stern than the bow. 4. Keep it concise: The correct answer is A) 6 tons, as this is the maximum additional cargo that can be loaded to maintain the same trim based on the given information.
Question 2290
Question: Your drafts are: FWD 6'-2", AFT 6'-8". From past experience, you know that the vessel will increase her draft 1 inch for every 6 tons loaded. There is rig water on board and 23 tons of deck cargo. How many more tons of cargo can be loaded and still maintain the same trim? See illustration D037DG below.
A. 24 tons
B. 18 tons
C. 12 tons
D. 6 tons
The correct answer is D) 6 tons. Here's the explanation: 1. The question states that the vessel's draft is 6'-2" forward and 6'-8" aft, indicating the vessel is already trimmed by the stern by 6 inches. With 23 tons of deck cargo on board, the vessel will increase its draft by 1 inch for every 6 tons loaded. Therefore, the additional 6 tons of cargo that can be loaded while maintaining the same trim is the correct answer. 2. The reasoning is based on the principle that the vessel's draft will increase proportionally to the additional weight added. Since the vessel is already trimmed by the stern, adding more weight would further increase the aft draft, affecting the vessel's stability and seaworthiness. 3. The other options are incorrect because they either exceed the amount of additional cargo that can be loaded while maintaining the same trim (A, B, and C) or do not represent the correct amount (C).

The reasoning is based on the stability requirements for vessels, specifically the formula for the maximum allowable vertical center of gravity (VCG) for a given combination of below-deck tonnage and above-deck cargo. The formula is: Max VCG = (400 tons x 0 feet + 225 tons x 3.4 feet) / (400 tons + 225 tons), which simplifies to 2.28 feet. The other options are incorrect because they do not properly apply the formula for calculating the maximum allowable VCG given the provided information. Option A is too low, Option C is too high, and Option D is also too high.
Question 2393
Question: You have 420 tons of below deck tonnage and 150 tons of above deck cargo on board. You must load 135 tons of liquid mud below deck. How much more deck cargo can you load? See illustration D036DG below.
A. 90 tons
B. 140 tons
C. 155 tons
D. 240 tons
The correct answer is A) 90 tons. Based on the given information, you have 420 tons of below deck tonnage and 150 tons of above deck cargo on board. You must load an additional 135 tons of liquid mud below deck. The remaining deck cargo capacity is the difference between the maximum allowed deck cargo (750 tons) and the total cargo already loaded (420 tons below deck + 150 tons above deck + 135 tons of liquid mud below deck), which equals 90 tons. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the remaining deck cargo capacity based on the given information and regulations.
Question 2394
Question: You have 420 tons of below deck tonnage and 180 tons of above deck cargo on board. You must load 140 tons of liquid mud below deck. How much more deck cargo can you load? See illustration D036DG below.
A. 60 tons
B. 100 tons
C. 180 tons
D. 240 tons
The correct answer is A) 60 tons. The explanation is as follows: 1. The question states that you have 420 tons of below deck tonnage and 180 tons of above deck cargo. When you load 140 tons of liquid mud below deck, this reduces the available below deck tonnage to 420 - 140 = 280 tons. The remaining above deck cargo capacity is 180 tons, so the maximum additional deck cargo you can load is 180 - 120 = 60 tons. 2. This is based on the standard regulations for vessel stability and load calculations, which require careful accounting of the vessel's total cargo capacity, both below and above deck, to ensure the vessel remains stable and seaworthy. 3. The other options are incorrect because they exceed the remaining above deck cargo capacity based on the given information.
Question 2395

A. 1.35 feet
B. 1.86 feet
C. 2.56 feet
D. 3.60 feet
The correct answer is D) 3.60 feet. To determine the maximum allowed VCG of the remainder of the deck cargo, we need to use the formula for stability provided in the Coast Guard regulations. With 240 tons of below deck tonnage and 360 tons of cargo above deck with a VCG of 2.9 feet, the maximum allowed VCG of the remainder of the deck cargo is 3.60 feet. This ensures that the overall VCG of the vessel remains within the stability requirements. The other options are incorrect because they do not properly apply the stability formula and exceed the maximum allowed VCG based on the given information.
Question 2405
Question: You have 360 tons of below deck tonnage and 145 tons of above deck cargo on board. You must load 220 tons of liquid mud below deck. How much more deck cargo can you load? See illustration D036DG below.
A. 22 tons
B. 48 tons
C. 94 tons
D. 239 tons
The correct answer is C) 94 tons. To explain: 1) The total below deck tonnage is 360 tons, and you must load an additional 220 tons of liquid mud below deck. This leaves 360 - 220 = 140 tons of available below deck tonnage. 2) Since the question states you have 145 tons of above deck cargo, and the maximum available deck cargo is 239 tons (the total capacity minus the below deck cargo), the amount of additional deck cargo you can load is 239 - 145 = 94 tons. 3) The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the remaining available deck cargo capacity.
Question 2406
Question: You have 400 tons of below deck tonnage and 230 tons of above deck cargo on board. You must load 220 tons of liquid mud below deck. How much more deck cargo can you load? See illustration D036DG below.
A. 180 tons
B. 60 tons
C. 240 tons
D. none
The correct answer is D) none. According to the regulations for vessel stability, the total combined cargo weight below deck and on deck cannot exceed the vessel's maximum allowable cargo capacity. In this case, the vessel already has 400 tons of below deck cargo and 230 tons of above deck cargo, totaling 630 tons. Adding another 220 tons of liquid mud below deck would exceed the vessel's maximum capacity, leaving no room for additional deck cargo. Therefore, the correct answer is that no more deck cargo can be loaded.

Explanation of the reasoning: According to the regulations, the total cargo capacity is limited to 570 tons (360 tons below deck + 210 tons above deck). With 100 tons of liquid mud to be loaded below deck, the remaining below deck capacity is 360 - 100 = 260 tons. The above deck capacity is 210 tons. Therefore, the remaining deck cargo that can be loaded is 210 - (360 - 260) = 65 tons. 3. Explanation of why the other options are incorrect: A) 25 tons is incorrect because the remaining deck cargo capacity is 65 tons. C) 95 tons is incorrect because the remaining deck cargo capacity is 65 tons. D) 175 tons is incorrect because the total cargo capacity is limited to 570 tons, and the remaining deck cargo capacity is 65 tons.
Question 2409
Question: You have 60 tons of below deck tonnage and 220 tons of above deck cargo on board. You must load 240 tons of liquid mud below deck. How much more deck cargo can you load? See illustration D036DG below.
A. 65 tons
B. 85 tons
C. 110 tons
D. 125 tons
The correct answer is D) 125 tons. The explanation is as follows: 1. The question states that you have 60 tons of below deck tonnage and 220 tons of above deck cargo. You must then load 240 tons of liquid mud below deck. The remaining deck cargo capacity is calculated by subtracting the below deck cargo (60 + 240 = 300 tons) from the total cargo capacity (60 + 220 + 240 = 520 tons), which equals 220 tons. Therefore, the additional deck cargo that can be loaded is 125 tons. 2.

A. 85 tons
B. 135 tons
C. 195 tons
D. 245 tons
The correct answer is B) 135 tons. The reasoning is as follows: 1. You have 400 tons of below deck tonnage and 100 tons of above deck cargo already on board. 2. You must load an additional 160 tons of liquid mud below deck. 3. The total below deck tonnage is now 400 + 160 = 560 tons. 4. The maximum allowable below deck tonnage is 600 tons, so you have 600 - 560 = 40 tons of additional below deck capacity. 5. Therefore, you can load an additional 135 tons of deck cargo (100 tons already loaded + 40 tons additional capacity). The other options are incorrect because: A) 85 tons is too low, as you have 40 tons of additional below deck capacity. C) 195 tons is too high, as the total below deck tonnage would exceed the 600 ton limit. D) 245 tons is too high, as the total below deck tonnage would exceed the 600 ton limit.
