Question 190 Deck General

The correct answer is C) plot the vessel's position on the chart. After the anchor has been let go, the next step is to plot the vessel's position on the chart. This is a critical task to ensure the ship's safety and compliance with regulations. By plotting the position, the officer on watch can verify that the vessel is anchored in the planned location and monitor any drift or movement of the ship. The other options are incorrect because: A) Stopping the engines is not necessary after anchoring, as the engines should already be secured. B) Escorting the pilot is not the immediate next step after anchoring. D) Making a round of the weather decks can be done later, but the primary focus should be on verifying the vessel's position.
