1. What works should you do when you are on duty of navigation?

In general, the watch officer must keep constantly in mind that while in charge of the bridge ,the safety of the ship and ship’s personnel are entirely in the watch officer’s hands .

The watch officer is charged with observing the practices of good seamanship. The watch officer must be alert and attentive to duties at all times and ensure that the subordinates on watch are equally

vigilant and attentive to their duties. He is responsible to the master and for the safe navigation of the vessel and strict compliance with the rules of the road .he must obey all written and spoken orders of the master and must comply with all regulations and standing orders .the watch officer must call the master at any time the vessel appears to be standing into danger and in various other situations. for example , the watch officer shall at all times maintain a proper look-out by sight and hearings s well as by all available means appropriate in the prevailing circumstances and conditions so as to make a full appraisal of the situation and of the risk of collision .including frequently fixing position and checking it 、checking other aids of navigation 、Gyro-compass and compass 、making sure that master compass and repeater synchronizing 、 in time receiving navigation warnings and so on .

In a word , making sure of safe navigation of the vessel .

2. How do you keep proper lookout?

According to <international regulation for preventing corrosions at sea 1972> P ( B ) section rule 5 look-out ::Every vessel shall at all times maintain a proper look-out by sight and hearings as well as by all available means appropriate in the prevailing circumstances and conditions so as to make a full

appraisal of the situation and of the risk of collision . Between the lines, we should strictly comply with <rules 5> and other articles. it is the most basic method that we look out by sighting at anytime . and we can make use of ARPA 、telescope 、sound signals and our eyes . we should frequently look out stern 、port and starboard side between two wings . if vessels is in condition of restricted visibility , the power-driven vessel will have her engines ready for immediate man oeuvre , and radar\ARPA equipment shall be proper use , including long-range scanning to obtain early warning of risk of collision and radar plotting or equivalent systematic observation of detected objects .

6 if you are find fire in forepeak store room or else where, how do you take action? if that is electrical fire ,what type of fire fighting equipment do you use?

Sound a fire out signal first. Them notice to the bridge. Sound fire signals under the rule. if that is electrical fire, we will use the dry power extinguisher equipment or CO2 extinguisher equipment for fire fighting.

7 what precaution do you take before loading?

This is to certify that before loading, the vessel’s tanks and facilities such as pipelines, pump have been

duly inspected. They are found to be dry and well drained, suitable for loading the cargo.

8 please sate the wind direction in somewhere in high or low pressure?

In the north hemisphere, in low pressure the wind backing and the high-pressure the wind veering. in the south hemisphere ,in low pressure the wind veering and the high pressure the wind backing.

9how do you calculate the compass error?

TC-CC= △C (TC: true course CC: compass course △C: Compass error)

10 how do you think of (the international regulation for preventing collisions at sea 1972) special of rule 6 safe speed, rule 7 risk of collision, rule 8 action to avoid collision, and role 19 conduct of vessels in restricted visibility?

Every vessel shall at all times proceed at a speed so that she can take proper and effective action to avoid collision and be stopped within a distance appropriate to the prevailing circumstances .in determining a safe speed the following factor shall be among those taken into account.

Every vessel shall use all available mean appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions determine if risk of collision exist .if there is doubt such risk shall be deemed to exist.

Any action taken avoid collision shall .if the circumstances of the case admit, be positive made in ample time and with due regard to the observance of good seamanship.

This rule applies to vessel not sight of one another when navigating or near an area of restricted visibility.

11 what are the signals for the motor in fog?

In or near of restricted visibility, whether by day or by night, the signal prescribed in this rule shall be used as follow:

(a)A power driven vessel making way through the water shall sound at intervals of more than 2 minutes one prolonged blast.

(b) a power driven vessel under way but stopped and making no way through the water shall at intervals of not more than 2 minutes two prolonged blasts succession with an interval of 2 second between them.

(c) a vessel not under command ,a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver ,a vessel constrained by her draught ,sound at intervals of not more than 2 minutes three blasts in succession namely one prolonged followed by tow short blasts.
