calculate how many cargoes can be carried. For
example, if one ship
’
s
capacity is 12000 cubic meters and a
kind of cargo
’
s stowage
factor is 1.5 cubic meters per ton, we
calculate that ship can carry the cargo
8000 tons in weight. Of course, the
ship
’
s net dead weight is
equal or bigger 8000 tons.
When we use
cargo
’
s stowage factor to
calculate s ship
’
s capacity,
we must consider the broken
space and
ship
’
s net dead weight. We
also should consider that how many holds the ship
has and
the kinds of cargo. As us
usually, we arrange these cargo, which has small
stowage factor, in low
hold, and those
cargo, which has big stowage factor, in the tween-
deck.

damaged before discharging,
others is
not been responsible by the carrier.
According
to
the
charter
party,
the
damaged
cargo
must
be
surveyed
on
the
spot.
When
you
handle
cargo damaged, you had better submit the case to

risk of collision,
The features of radar observation are
as follows: (1) limitations of the radar
equipment, small
vessels,
ice
and
other
floating
objects
may
not
by
detected
by
radar
at
an
adequate
range;;
(2)
imposed by the radar range scale in
use; Weather and other sources of interference;
(3) the more
exact assessment of the
visibility that may be possible when radar is used
to determine the range
of vessels or
other objects in the vicinity.
The advantages of visual
lookout are as follows: (1) It is the based means
of looking
–
out; (2)
the situation can be readily apparent,
and so on.
There
are
many
tools
and
technologies
to
be
used
in
look-out,
for
example,
when
you
use
a
radar, you
should switch the radar standby first, then you
should proper adjust it, include range,
tuning, gain, contrast, anti-clutter
sea, anti-clutter rain. You can detect the bearing
and distance of
a object with radar.
4. Describe the differences between
navigating in a narrow channel and in traffic
separation
scheme.
a) The
rules in navigating in a narrow channel.
b) The rules in navigating in a traffic
separation scheme.
c) The major
differences in terms of technical navigation.
If you are a
driven power vessel and you are proceeding along
the course of a narrow channel,
you
shall keep as near to the outer limit of the
channel, which lies on your starboard side as, is
safe
and practicable. You shall avoid
cross a channel and anchor in a channel.
If you are a driven power
vessel and you are using a traffic separation
scheme, you shall proceed
in the
appropriate traffic lane in the general direction
of traffic flow for that lane You shall avoid
cross lane and anchor in lane, traffic
line or separation zone.
In traffic separation scheme, there are
traffic line or separation zone, but in narrow
channel not.
6. List some position
fixing methods used in coastal water.
a) Alter course to avoid collision

the open sea .

ship
’
s data

9. Describe the proper way of using VHF
a) How to operate VHF?
b)
General rules of using VHF.
c) Rules of
using VHF channel 16.
When you operate VHF, you should comply
with the radio regulations. If you want to speak,
you should push the button, and if you
want to listen, you should release the button.
The general
rules of using VHF are as follows: (1) calling on
channel 16 for the purpose other
than
distress
urgency
and
very
brief
safety
communication;
(2)
communication
not
related
to
safety and navigation on port operation
channels and non-essential transmissions will
never been
permitted to broadcasted on
channel 16; (3) the important messages should be
repeated; (4) the
first 3 should be
listening every half an hour.
10.
Please describe the
Captain
’
s duties for
preventing collision.

1. Describe
the procedures of search and rescue operations.
a) The ways to transmit distress
alerts.
b) The procedures for emergency
responding.
c) The patterns of search
and the ways to implement a SAR mission.
The
distress
alerts
can
be
transmitted
by
VHF,
DSC,
2182,
RADIO,GMDSS
equipments,
EPIRB, NBDP, and so on.
Distress alerting is the
rapid and successful reporting of a distress
incident to a unit which can
provide
assistance. When an alert is received by an RCC,
normally via a coast station, the RCC
will relay the alert to SAR units and
to ships in the vicinity of the distress incident.
A distress alert
should indicate the
identification and position of the distress and,
where practicable, its nature and
other
information, which could be used for, rescue
operation.
