第三章二副面试问题及参考答案1. what are your responsibilities as a second officer?The second officer is the navigational officer and sometimes also medical officer on board. Besides, the second officer shall assist the chief officer. His duties may include the following:(1)navigation watch keeping (from 1200 to 1600, and from 0000 to 0400);(2)chart and navigational publication corrections;(3)passage plan making;(4)usually working as the designated communications officer;(5)maintenance of communication equipment, instruments and spare parts on boardthe ship;(6)care of all the basic navigation equipment and instruments, including magneticcompasses, gyrocompasses, gyro repeaters, time changes, depth sounders and course recorder.(7)Maitenance of inventories of the stationery;(8)Medical duties, and other duties designated by the master or chief officer.(9)Some other work designated by master or chief officer.4. please briefly describle the procedure of dealing with navigational warnings. Firstly, I shall register the navigational warnings in the register book and record the warning number in the card. Secondly, I shall select the charts that are affected by the warnings. Then I shall use pens, scissors and glues to fix permanent notices. I shall also use pencils to fix temporary and preliminary notices. The charts are to be corrected according to all the concerned warnings. When I correct the chart, I shall frequently consult the geographical index.5. can you describe the charts correction procedure?Please refer to the same question for the master.Firstly, the second officer has to make sure that he has received the latest Notice to Mariner and that he has to write the notice request on time. The master shall make emergency request if the latest is not received.Secondly, the second officer has to record the notice to mariner on the correction logs on time according to the chronogical order.Thirdly, when correcting the chart, he has to make sure that the last small correction has been made on the chart.Erasure should never be made when deleting in formation crossed throuth. Instead, series of short double strokes should be used while correction fluid should not be used.Always insert information before you delete any information.6. who should draft the passage plan on board? What are included in passage plan? When you make the passage plan, what information do you need?Usually,the passage plan should be prepared by the second officer and approved by the master. During passage, when an error or mistake is found about the passage plan, it should be reported to the master first and corrected afterwards by the second officer. But during voyage the passage plan cannot be changed without themaster’s approved.The passage plan should include such information as way points, the distance between way point, courses, current, tide, weather conditions and means of communications, means of fixing position and interval and so on.Besides, the following information and publications are necessary in making the passage plan: sailing directions, pilot book, port entry guidance, tide table’s local area warning, warning from the NAVAREA areas, list of light and radio signals, admiralty notice to mariner, sea chart and catalogue of admiralty charts and other publications.7.what is the scope the passage plan cover? If you miss one ore two big or small scale charts for next voyage, can the ship give sea going or not?The passage plan should cover the sailing route from berth to berth. Lack of information for some areas may lead to some serious accidents.The ship cannot go if one or two charts are not available.8. if the signal of “three red lights vertically aligned” is found on board a ship during night voyage, what do you think is wrong with the ship? If a motor ship is mpving under the way, but not under command, what kind of signals shoud she use? On what occasion do you display two black balls during the day?The vessel is constrained by her draught. It is very hard for her to maneuver. Our vessel should give a wide and take actions to keep away from her.The motor ship should use not-under-control lights, i.e., two red lights vertically aligned during night time, and two black balls vertically aligned during day time.We shall display two black balls when our vessel cannot get out the way of another.9. please describle how you take care of the magnetic compass.The liquid magnetic compass should be regularly checked for air bubbles and it shoud always be covered when it is not in use. The deviation of the compass should be checked and observed during every watch.10. how to you set and adjust gyrocompass?The second officer should frequently check the gyrocompass, error. Actually, gyrocompass accuracy should be checked at least once a day at sea and at anchor, and for each course steered. During the watch, the simultaneous check should be made at least hourly. If there is any significant deviation error, the second officer should report it to the master and record in the compass record book and deck logbook. The electronic devices should be kept away from the compasses in a reasonable distance. The chief officer or other designated officers should test the error in the morning and evening.11.what are your responsibilities as the second officer while the vessel is in port?My responsibilities are to keep good watch, to ensure the safety of life, the ship and the cargo and to maintain good wooking orders on the vessel.During my watch I should be aware of the draft, under keel clearance, the state of ship, the mooring conditions so as to avoid dangerous listing, trim or hull stress during cargo operation. I should also make sure that de-ballastingcauses no marine pollution. I should watch and supervise the loading process and report any incident or accident to the chief officer.12. please tell me the difference between the great circle line and rhomb line?In theory, the great circle line is the shortest distance between two places, while the rhomb line is longer than the great circle line. However, it is very hard for a vessel just to take the circle line or rhomb line.13. during cargo loading, if you find cargo damages in holds, what should you do?I should record them in writing or even photograph the damages and reportthe situations to the chief officer immediately. The chief officer should report it to the tallyman and ask them to replace the cargo, if possible. At the same time, the officer on duty should make the on-the-spot record.If the damages are realy very serous, we should report to the master and ask for his instructions.14. when you usually do the chart work? When you are keeping watch, can you do thechart work?Whenever I receive the notice to mariner, I will do the correction and drawing as soon as possible.Generally, I should not do the chart work when am keeping watch. Doing chart work during watch keeping can give rise to some potential danger to the maneuvering of the vessel.15. what is the maximum blood alcohol concentraition (BAC) rate on board?According to the STCW code, the BAC shall not be more than 0.08% by weight at any time when being tested. Watch-keepers are not allowed to drink any alcoholic beverage 4 hours before their watch. Besides, when bunkering, loading and unloading, mooring and unmooring, 4 hours before and after port all, the sailor on board cannot have any alcoholic before and after port all, the sailor on board cannot have any alcoholic drinks.16. please tell me your duties as the medical officer.I am responsible for maintaining the medical inventory. I should keep a goodrecord of the use of different medicines and make sure that the aide are at proper locations. I should also be careful with the medicine locker.

When some important medicines are out of stock, I should report to the master and make requisition for supply.17. when do you call the master to the bridge?In the following situations, according to the SMS manual, I will have to call the master to the bridge:(1)when the visibility is lower than the one mentioned in the master,sstanding order;(2)breakdown of the main engine, steering gear, gyro-compass or any othercritical equipment related to the safety of the vessel;(3)when the ship,s position and sounding are unusual or strange;(4)when the navigational marks or sounding do not appear as expected;(5)when heavy weather is encountered;(6)whenthe ship is behaving in an unusual way;(7)when marine pollution is seen or suspected;(8)when distress message is received or accident observed;(9)any other situation when the officers are in observed;(10)w henever the ship is in danger;18.when RADAR and ARPAR are in use, do they relieve your duty of lookout as awatch-keeper?No, these apparatuses do not relieve the watch officer of his duty to maintaina proper lookout at all times. This is very important to the manuvering of thevessel. Accidents often arise because of the officers’ complete dependence on the RADAR,ARPAR, GPS and other equipment, especially in hazardous areas, such as the coast and port areas, low visibility area, restricted areas and heavy weather regions. All in all, the rules and regulation of the COLREG 1972 must be strictly obeyed.19. what do you know about EC and ECDIS ?EC means electrionic chart, and ECDIS means electronic chart and information system. This system usees the computer technology to provide chart details ona visual display unit, combined with an automatic indication of ship’s position,and possibly a radar image, and a navigation aide. This kind of chart needs basic computer operation skills and automation knowledge.20. can you tell me the main contents of a typical admiralty notice to mariner?How did you get the notice to mariner on your last vessel?The admiralty notice to mariners is a maritime publication issued by the hydrographic department of the united kingdom. They include admiralty nitices, Australian and new Zealand notices. They are published on a weekly basis. There is also an annual summary version.The admiralty noyice to mariner includes 6 sections. Section one, explanatory notes and indexes to section two. Admiralty notices to mariners-corrections to charts. Section three, reprints of radio navigational warnings. Section four, corrections to admiralty sailing directions. Section five, corrections to admiralty list of radio signals.On my last ship, the ship owner provided us with the notice to mariners in every major port. If they failed to give us the notice, we’ll send them a request for this.21.it is very important to get rid of the outated charts and other SMS documentson board. Why?It is very important to keep the latest revised charts(also some other ISM documents on board)in the deck and engine room, and keep away those out – of – dated charts because after a period of time, you will not be able to know what documents are the newest ones. The mixture of the old and new documents on board can easily give rise to some problems for the safety of he vessel. So it is very important to do away with the obsoletedocuments as soon as possible.22.how do you maintain the clocks?I am responsible for the vessel clocks except for those in the engine room.Before getting underway, clocks shall be compared and synchronized, and thesynchronization record shall be entered into the deck logbook.23.under what situations do you call the engine room when you are on duty?(1)whenever it is necessary to make sure that engine room and bridge clocksare synchronized;(2)at least one hour before starting or ending a sea passage;(3)as soon as it appears that engine operation maneuvers may be required, withone hour’s notice if possible;(4)whenever the ship machinery operation may be affected by weather or othercondition changes, such as shallow water approach, concentration of marinelifeor seaweed, ice in water, or change of trim or draft due to ballastingshifting;(5)one hour before inert gas system operation is required (for tanker);(6)one hour before steam is required on deck;(7)whenever the temperature falls to 2 degree centigrade to provent damage toequipment;(8)at least one hour before the standby generator is required;(9)whenever the gargo pumps are used;(10)o ne hour prior to getting underway.24.what should you do first after you join a vessel?Firstly, I shall familiarize myself with the familiarization booklet, the must lists and emergency card in my cabin. Second, I shall report to the master and get familiar with other officers and crew on board the vessel. Third, with accompaniment of the relieved second officer, I shall discuss immediately with the master on any unsatisfactions, including equipment malfunctions. I shall also take over all the documents the second officer should take care of. A good handover with the relieved second officer is the most important thing for me.25.when do you have to change from the automatic steering to manual steering?The steering mode should be change from automatic to manual mode under the following circumstances: (1) in any emergency situations; (2) in diminishing and restricted visibility, as defined by the master; (3) when the ship’s steering in shallow water; (4) when the master thinks necessary.When the steering mode is changed, the watch officers shall supervise the process.26.if ship collision happens when you are on duty, what procedure should you follow?I should follow the emergency checklist.Firstly, I will sound the alarm for emergency;Secondly, I will inform the master immediately;Thirdly, I will inform the engine room and propare engine standby;After ship collision, all the tanks should be sound be and the ship owner, manager should be informed of the accident. The accident report should also be sent to the all concerned parties and the coast country. And all the above actions, ship’s position, times, etc. should be recorded properly.27.before the ship sails to a new port, if you do not have one or two necessarycharts, what should you possibly do?If possible, I will ask for help from the master. If the master cannot help,I may ask for help from the vessels sailing in the same area. Anyway, I willtry to solve the problem before the vessel sails to the port.28.what is safety speed during sailing? What factors should you consider in decidingthe speed of a vessel during sailing in the sea?The safe speed is the speed at which the vessel can take proper and effective actions to be stopped in a safe distance. The following factors should be taken into account to achieve safe speed: visibility, number of ships in the area, the ship’s maneuverability, wind force, sea tide and and current, background lights, draught and available depth of water, proximity of navigational hadards, standart and operation of technical equipment on board, ice conditon and so on.29.when navigation in a crossing situation, as master or duty officer, whatanti-collision measures should be taken? When the vessels are proceed on head-on condition, what anti-collision rule should be observed? When a power-driven ship and sailing meet in the sea, what anti-collision rule should be observed?When to power-driven ships are crossing, the ship which has the other ship on her own starboard side shall keep out of way.

Who should draft the passage plan on board What are included in passage plan When you make the passage plan, what information do you needUsually,the passage plan should be prepared by the second officer and approved by the master. during passage ,when an error or mistake is found about the passage plan, it should be report to the master first and corrected afterwards by the second officer .but during voyage the passage plan cannot be changed without the master’s approval.The passage plan should include such information as way points, the distance between way points, courses, current, tide, weather conditions and means of communications, means of fixing position and interval and so on.Besides, the following information and publications are necessary in making the passage plan: sailing directions, pilot book, port entry guidance, tide table, local area warning, warning from the NAVAREA areas, list of light and radio signals, admiralty notice to mariner, sea chart and catalogue of admiralty charts and other publications.7. What is the scope the passage plan cover If you miss one or two big or small scale charts for next voyage, can the ship give sea going or notThe passage plan should cover the sailing route from berth to berth. Lack of information for some areas may lead to some serious accidents. The ship cans not departure if one or two charts are not available.8. if the signal of three red lights vertically aligned is found on board a ship during night voyage,what do you think is wrong with the ship If a motor ship is moving under the way ,but not under command ,what kind of signals should she use on what occasion do you display two black balls during the dayThe vessel is constrained by her draught ,it is very hard for her to maneuver. Our vessel should give a wide berth and take actions to keep away from her.The motor ship should use not-under-command lights,. two red lights vertically aligned during night time,and two black balls vertically aligned during day time.We shall display two black balls when our vessel cannot get out the way for others.describe how do you take care of the magnetic compassThe liquid magnetic compass should be regulary checked for air bubbles and it should always be covered when it is not in use .the deviation of the compass should be checked and observed during every watch.do you set and adjust gyro compassThe second officer should frequently check the gyrocompass’error. Actually,gyrocompass accuracy should be checked at least once a day at sea and at anchor, and for each course steered. During the watch, the simultaneous check should be made at least hourly. If there is any significant deviation error, the second officer should report it to the master and record in the compass record book and deck logbook. The electronic devices should be kept away from the compass in a reasonable distance. The chief officer or other designated officers should test the error in the morning or evening.are your responsibilities as the second officer while the vessel is in port My responsibilities are to keep good watch,to ensure the safety of life,the ship and the cargo and to maintain good working orders on the vessel.During my watch I should be aware of the draft, under keel clearance, the state of ship,the moring conditions so as to avoid dangerous listing,trim or hull stress during cargo operation. I should also make sure that de-ballasting causes no marine pollution. I should watch and supervise the loading process and report any incident or accident to the chief officer.tell me the difference between the great circle line and rhomb lineIn theory, the great circle line is the shortest distance between two places,while the rhomb line is longer than the great circle line .however ,it is very hard for a vessel just to take the great circle line or rhomb line.cargo loading , if you find cargo damages in holds, what should you doI shall record them in writing or even photograph the damages and report the situation to the chief officer immediately. The chief officer should report it to the tallyman and ask them to replace the cargo , if possible.

Our vessel should give a wide and take actions to keep away from her.The motor ship should use not-under-control lights, i.e., two red lights vertically aligned during night time, and two black balls vertically aligned during day time.We shall display two black balls when our vessel cannot get out the way of another.9. please describle how you take care of the magnetic compass.The liquid magnetic compass should be regularly checked for air bubbles and itshoud always be covered when it is not in use. The deviation of the compass should be checked and observed during every watch.10. how to you set and adjust gyrocompass?The second officer should frequently check the gyrocompass, error. Actually, gyrocompass accuracy should be checked at least once a day at sea and at anchor, and for each course steered. During the watch, the simultaneous check should be made at least hourly. If there is any significant deviation error, the second officer should report it to the master and record in the compass record book and deck logbook. The electronic devices should be kept away from the compasses in a reasonable distance. The chief officer or other designated officers should test the error in the morning and evening.11.what are your responsibilities as the second officer while the vessel is in port?My responsibilities are to keep good watch, to ensure the safety of life, the ship and the cargo and to maintain good wooking orders on the vessel.During my watch I should be aware of the draft, under keel clearance, the state of ship, the mooring conditions so as to avoid dangerous listing, trim or hull stress during cargo operation. I should also make sure that de-ballasting causes no marine pollution. I should watch and supervise the loading process and report any incident or accident to the chief officer.12. please tell me the difference between the great circle line and rhomb line?In theory, the great circle line is the shortest distance between two places, while the rhomb line is longer than the great circle line. However, it is very hard for a vesseljust to take the circle line or rhomb line.13. during cargo loading, if you find cargo damages in holds, what should you do?I should record them in writing or even photograph the damages and report thesituations to the chief officer immediately. The chief officer should report it to the tallyman and ask them to replace the cargo, if possible.

If a motor ship is mpving under the way, but not under command, what kind of signals shoud she use? On what occasion do you display two black balls during the day?The vessel is constrained by her draught. It is very hard for her to maneuver. Our vessel should give a wide and take actions to keep away from her.The motor ship should use not-under-control lights, i.e., two red lights vertically aligned during night time, and two black balls vertically aligned during day time.We shall display two black balls when our vessel cannot get out the way of another.9. please describle how you take care of the magnetic compass.The liquid magnetic compass should be regularly checked for air bubbles and it shoud always be covered when it is not in use. The deviation of the compass should be checked and observed during every watch.10. how to you set and adjust gyrocompass?The second officer should frequently check the gyrocompass, error. Actually, gyrocompass accuracy should be checked at least once a day at sea and at anchor, and for each course steered. During the watch, the simultaneous check should be made at least hourly.If there is any significant deviation error, the second officer should report it to the master and record in the compass record book and deck logbook. The electronic devices should be kept away from the compasses in a reasonable distance. The chief officer or other designated officers should test the error in the morning and evening.11.what are your responsibilities as the second officer while the vessel is in port?My responsibilities are to keep good watch, to ensure the safety of life, the ship and the cargo and to maintain good wooking orders on the vessel.During my watch I should be aware of the draft, under keel clearance, the state of ship, the mooring conditions so as to avoid dangerous listing, trim or hull stress during cargo operation. I should also make sure that de-ballasting causes no marine pollution. I should watch and supervise the loading process and report any incident or accident to the chief officer.12. please tell me the difference between the great circle line and rhomb line?In theory, the great circle line is the shortest distance between two places, while the rhomb line is longer than the great circle line. However, it is very hard for a vessel just to take the circle line or rhomb line.13. during cargo loading, if you find cargo damages in holds, what should you do?I should record them in writing or even photograph the damages and report the situationsto the chief officer immediately. The chief officer should report it to the tallyman and ask them to replace the cargo, if possible.

This is very important to the manuvering of the vessel. Accidents often arise because of the officers’ complete dependence on the RADAR,ARPAR, GPS and other equipment, especially in hazardous areas, such as the coast and port areas, low visibility area, restricted areas and heavy weather regions. All in all, the rules and regulation of the COLREG 1972 must be strictly obeyed.19. what do you know about EC and ECDIS ?EC means electrionic chart, and ECDIS means electronic chart and information system.This system usees the computer technology to provide chart details on a visual display unit, combined with an automatic indication of ship’s position, and possibly a radar image, and a navigation aide. This kind of chart needs basic computer operation skills and automation knowledge.20. can you tell me the main contents of a typical admiralty notice to mariner?

Section one, explanatory notes and indexes to section two. Admiralty notices to mariners-corrections to charts. Section three, reprints of radio navigational warnings. Section four, corrections to admiralty sailing directions. Section five, corrections to admiralty list of radio signals.On my last ship, the ship owner provided us with the notice to mariners in every major port. If they failed to give us the notice, we’ll send them a request for this.21.it is very important to get rid of the outated charts and other SMS documents on board.Why?It is very important to keep the latest revised charts(also some other ISM documents on board)in the deck and engine room, and keep away those out – of – dated charts because aftera period of time, you will not be able to know what documents are the newest ones. Themixture of the old and new documents on board can easily give rise to some problems for the safety of he vessel. So it is very important to do away with the obsoletedocuments as soon as possible.22.how do you maintain the clocks?I am responsible for the vessel clocks except for those in the engine room. Beforegetting underway, clocks shall be compared and synchronized, and the synchronization record shall be entered into the deck logbook.23.under what situations do you call the engine room when you are on duty?(1)whenever it is necessary to make sure that engine room and bridge clocks aresynchronized;(2)at least one hour before starting or ending a sea passage;(3)as soon as it appears that engine operation maneuvers may be required, with one ho ur’snotice if possible;(4)whenever the ship machinery operation may be affected by weather or other conditionchanges, such as shallow water approach, concentration of marine lifeor seaweed, ice in water, or change of trim or draft due to ballasting shifting;(5)one hour before inert gas system operation is required (for tanker);(6)one hour before steam is required on deck;(7)whenever the temperature falls to 2 degree centigrade to provent damage to equipment;(8)at least one hour before the standby generator is required;(9)whenever the gargo pumps are used;(10)o ne hour prior to getting underway.24.what should you do first after you join a vessel?Firstly, I shall familiarize myself with the familiarization booklet, the must lists and emergency card in my cabin.

Then I shall use pens, scissors and glues to fix permanent notice. I shall also use pencils to fix temporary and preliminary notices. The charts are to be corrected according to all the concerned warnings. When I correct the chart ,I shall frequently consult the geographical index.5. can you describe the charts correction procedures ?firstly, the second officer has to make sure that he has received the latest notice to mariner and that he has to write the notice request on time. The master shall makeemergency request if the lasted is not received.Secondly, the second officer has to record the notice to mariner on the correction logs on time according to the chronological order.Thirdly, when correcting the chart, he has to make sure that the last small correction has been made on the chart.Erasure should never be made when deleting information crossed through .instead ,seryes of short double strokes should be used while correction fluid should not be used. And allways insert information before you delete any information.6. Who should draft the passage plan on board? What are included in passage plan?

If a motor ship is mpving under the way, but not under command, what kind of signals shoud she use? On what occasion do you display two black balls during the day?The vessel is constrained by her draught. It is very hard for her to maneuver. Our vessel should give a wide and take actions to keep away from her.The motor ship should use not-under-control lights, ., two red lights vertically aligned during night time, and two black balls vertically aligned during day time.We shall display two black balls when our vessel cannot get out the way of another.9. please describle how you take care of the magnetic compass.The liquid magnetic compass should be regularly checked for air bubbles and it shoud always be covered when it is not in use. The deviation of the compass should be checked and observed during every watch.10. how to you set and adjust gyrocompass?The second officer should frequently check the gyrocompass, error. Actually, gyrocompass accuracy should be checked at least once a day at sea and at anchor, and for each course steered. During the watch, the simultaneous check should be made at least hourly. If there is any significant deviation error, the second officer should report it to the master and record in the compass record book and deck logbook. The electronic devices should be kept away from the compasses in a reasonable distance. The chief officer or other designated officers should test the error in the morning and evening.are your responsibilities as the second officer while the vessel is in port?My responsibilities are to keep good watch, to ensure the safety of life, the ship and the cargo and to maintain good wooking orders on the vessel.During my watch I should be aware of the draft, under keel clearance, the state of ship, the mooring conditions so as to avoid dangerous listing, trim or hull stress during cargo operation. I should also make sure that de-ballastingcauses no marine pollution. I should watch and supervise the loading process and report any incident or accident to the chief officer.12. please tell me the difference between the great circle line and rhomb line?In theory, the great circle line is the shortest distance between two places, while the rhomb line is longer than the great circle line. However, it is very hard for a vessel just to take the circle line or rhomb line.13. during cargo loading, if you find cargo damages in holds, what should you do?I should record them in writing or even photograph the damages and reportthe situations to the chief officer immediately. The chief officer should report it to the tallyman and ask them to replace the cargo, if possible. At the same time, the officer on duty should make the on-the-spot record.If the damages are realy very serous, we should report to the master and ask for his instructions.14. when you usually do the chart work? When you are keeping watch, can you do thechart work?Whenever I receive the notice to mariner, I will do the correction and drawing as soon as possible.Generally, I should not do the chart work when am keeping watch.

二副面试常见问题
二副面试常见问题二副面试常见问题外派船员面试的特点船员面试和其他面试一样，往往是船东筛选船员的最重要的一环。
国外船东的面试具有以下特点：很强的专业性船员工作是一个很特别的行业，主要体现在工作场所的特别（全球海洋和港口）和职业技术的特别性。
船员面试的问题一般来说不像其他面试那样广泛和不测，而是集中在船上工作的程序和技术等方面的考察上。
专业性还体现在面试语言的专业性。
船员用语、船员英语往往具有本行业的特殊性，行话很多，历史悠久，其他行业并不怎么使用。
国际性国际海运工作本身便要求船员的挑选具有很强的国际性。
其一，船员工作地点是全世界的海洋和港口，要求船员通晓一两门外语，了解世界主要海域和港口或国家的地理及风土人情等等。
其二，船员工作的船舶和船上的船员往往国籍复杂，当然货物也具有很强的国际性。
其三，船员面试是全世界船员提供国的竞争，这就决定这种面试的国际性。
其四，船东以及考官的国际性。
国际航运业本身的特点决定了很多前来中国面试的教官尽管代表某个国家的某个公司，但他们作为雇员也许不是那个国家的公民，有时，两三个考官往往来自不同的国家。
另外，有很多外来面试的公司并不是真正的船东，而是管理公司或代理公司。
竞争激烈，往往是好中选优外派船员往往在收入和待遇等方面高于在国内船舶的船员，因而对应聘者的要求也相对高一些，主要是教育背景、学历、工作经历、外语水平、管理水平等方面。
应该说，能够参加外派船员面试并有可能通过面试船员往往都是中国比较优秀的船员。
但是，面对激烈的竞争（主要是来自其他船员提供国的竞争和本国船员的竞争），往往船东最终选择的高级船员并不多。
广大应该船员了解以上特点有利于在面试前做到心中有数、有的放矢。
面试的几种方式和注意事项目前，船员面试有以下四种主要方式：口头提问和笔头回答(Face-to-face Questioning and Written Work)船员面试中，考官最基本的办法是面对面口头提问，即考官提问，船员回答。

Please briefly describe the procedure of dealing with navigational warnings.Firstly I shall register the navigational warnings in the register book and record the warning number in the card.Secondly I shall select the charts that are affected by the warnings. Then I shall use pens, scissors and glues to fix permanent notice. I shall also use pencils to fix temporary and preliminary notices. The charts are to be corrected according to all the concerned warnings. WhenI correct the chart ,I shall frequently consult the geographical index.5. can you describe the charts correction procedures ?firstly, the second officer has to make sure that he has received the latest notice to mariner and that he has to write the notice request on time. The master shall make emergency request if the lasted is not received.Secondly, the second officer has to record the notice to mariner on the correction logs on time according to the chronological order.Thirdly, when correcting the chart, he has to make sure that the last small correction has beenmade on the chart.Erasure should never be made when deleting information crossed through .instead ,seryes of short double strokes should be used while correction fluid should not be used. And allways insert information before you delete any information.6. Who should draft the passage plan on board? What are included in passage plan? When you make the passage plan, what information do you need?Usually, the passage plan should be prepared by the second officer and approved by the master. during passage ,when an error or mistake is found about the passage plan, it should be report to the master first and corrected afterwards by the second officer .but during voyage the passage plan cannot be changed without the master’s approval.The passage plan should include such information as way points, the distance between way points, courses, current, tide, weather conditions and means of communications, means of fixing position and interval and so on.Besides, the following information and publications are necessary in making the passage plan: sailing directions, pilot book, port entry guidance, tide table, local area warning, warning from the NA V AREA areas, list of light and radio signals, admiralty notice to mariner, sea chart and catalogue of admiralty charts and other publications.7. What is the scope the passage plan cover? If you miss one or two big or small scale charts for next voyage, can the ship give sea going or not?The passage plan should cover the sailing route from berth to berth. Lack of information for some areas may lead to some serious accidents. The ship cans not departure if one or two charts are not available.8. if the signal of three red lights vertically aligned is found on board a ship during night voyage,what do you think is wrong with the ship? If a motor ship is moving under the way ,but not under command ,what kind of signals should she use ?on what occasion do you display two black balls during the day?The vessel is constrained by her draught ,it is very hard for her to maneuver. Our vessel should give a wide berth and take actions to keep away from her.The motor ship should use not-under-command lights,i.e. two red lights vertically aligned during night time,and two black balls vertically aligned during day time.We shall display two black balls when our vessel cannot get out the way for others.9.please describe how do you take care of the magnetic compass?The liquid magnetic compass should be regulary checked for air bubbles and it should always be covered when it is not in use .the deviation of the compass should be checked and observed during every watch.10.how do you set and adjust gyro compass?The second officer should frequently check the gyrocompass’error. Actually,gyrocompass accuracy should be checked at least once a day at sea and at anchor, and for each course steered. During the watch, the simultaneous check should be made at least hourly. If there is any significant deviation error, the second officer should report it to the master and record in the compass record book and deck logbook. The electronic devices should be kept away from the compass in a reasonable distance. The chief officer or other designated officers should test the error in the morning or evening.11.what are your responsibilities as the second officer while the vessel is in port?My responsibilities are to keep good watch,to ensure the safety of life,the ship and the cargo and to maintain good working orders on the vessel.During my watch I should be aware of the draft, under keel clearance, the state of ship,the moring conditions so as to avoid dangerous listing,trim or hull stress during cargo operation. I should also make sure that de-ballasting causes no marine pollution. I should watch and supervise the loading process and report any incident or accident to the chief officer.12.please tell me the difference between the great circle line and rhomb line?In theory, the great circle line is the shortest distance between two places,while the rhomb line is longer than the great circle line .however ,it is very hard for a vessel just to take the great circle line or rhomb line.13.during cargo loading , if you find cargo damages in holds, what should you do?I shall record them in writing or even photograph the damages and report the situation to the chief officer immediately. The chief officer should report it to the tallyman and ask them to replace the cargo , if possible. At the same time, the officer on duty should make the on-the-spot record.If the damages are really very serious, we should report to the master and ask for his instructions.14.when you usually do the chart work? When you are keeping watch, can you do the chart work? Whenever I receive the notice to mariner, I will do the correction and drawing as soon as possible.Generally ,I should not do the chart work when am keeping watch. Doing chart work during watch keeping can give rise to some potential danger to the maneuvering of the vessel.15.what is the maximum blood alcohol concentration (BAC) rate on board?According to the STCW95 Code ,the maximum blood alcohol concentration shall not be more than 0.08% by weight at any time when being tested. But the code of federal regulations requires the blood alcohol concentration to be no more than 0.04%. watch keepers are not allowed to drink any alcoholic beverage 4 hours before their watch . besides ,when bunkering ,loading and unloading, moring and unmoring,4 hours before and after port all, the sailor on board cannot have any alcoholic drinks.16.pls tell me your duties as the medical officer.I am responsible for maintaining the medical inventory.

Section three , reprints of radio navigational warnings.section four , corrections to admiralty sailing derections.section five,corrections to admiralty list of lights and fog signals .section six , corrections to admiralty list of radio signals.On my last ship, the ship owner provided us with the notice to mariner in every major port .if they failed to give us the notice . we will send them a reqrest for this by e-mail.21.it is very important to get rid of the outdated charts and other SMS documents on board . why? It is very important to keep the lasted revised charts also some other ISM documents on board in the deck ang engine room . and keep away those out-of-dated charts because after a period of time, you will not be able to know what documents are the newest ones. The mixture of the old and new documents on board can easily give rise to some problems for the safety of the vessel . so it is very important to do away with the obsolete documents as soon as possible.22.how do you maintain the clocks?I am responsible for the vessel clocks expect for those in the engine room. Before getting underway , clocks shall be compared and synchronized , and the synchronization record shall be entered into the deck logbook.23.under what situations do you call the engine room when you are on duty?(1)whenever it is necessary to make sure that engine room and bridge clocks are synchronized(2)at least one hour before starting or endding a sea passage(3)as soon as it appears that engine operation maneuvers may be required, with one hour’snotice if possible(4)whenever the ship machinery operation may be affected by weather or other conditionchanges , such as shallow water approach, concentration of marine life or seaweed, ice in water ,or change of trim or draft due to ballasting shifting.(5)One hour before inert gas system operation is required (for tanker)(6)One hour before steam is required on deck(7)Whenever the temperature fall to 2 degree centigrade to prevent damage to equipment(8)At least one hour before the standby generator is required(9)Whenever the cargo pumps are used(10)O ne hour prior to getting underway24.what should you do first after you jion a vessel?Firstly, I shall familiarize myself with the familisrization booklet, the muster lists and emergency card in my cabin.Secondly , I shall report to the master and get familiar with other officers and crew on board the vessel .Thirdly , with accompaniment of the relieved second officer , I shall have an inspection of those items he was responsible for . I shall discuss immediately with the master on any unsatisfactory conditions, including equipment malfunctions. I shall also take over all the documents the second officer should take care of . a good handover with the relieved second officer is the most important job for me.25.when do you have to change from the automatic steering to manual steering?The steering mode should be changed from automatic to manual mode under the following circumstances:(1)in any emergency situation(2)in diminishing and restricted visibility, as defined by the master(3)when the ship’s steering in shallow water(4)when the master or duty officer think it is necessarywhen the steering mode is changed , the watch officers shall supervise the process.26.if ship collision happens when you are on duty , what procedure should you follow？I shall carry out the emergency checklistFirstly, I will sound the alarm for emergency. Secondly, I will inform the master immediately. Thirdly, I will inform the engine room and prepare engine standby; after ship collision , all the tanks should be sounded and the ship owner, manager should be informed of the accident. The accident report should also be sent to the all concerned parties and the coast country. And all the above actions, ship’s position, times,etc . should be recorded properly.27.before the ship sails to a new port , if you do not have one or two necessary charts, what should you possibly do?If possible , I will ask for help from the master . if the master cannot help, I may ask for help from the vessels sailing in the same area. Anyway I will try to solve the problem before the vessel sails to the port.28.what is safety speed during sailing？What factors should you consider in deciding the speed of a vessel during sailing in the sea?The safe speed is the speed at which the vessel can take proper and effective actions to be stopped in a safe distance. The following factors should be taken into account to achieve safe speed : visibility,number of ships in the area, the ship’s maneuverability ,wind force, sea tide and current , background lights, draught and available depth of water, proximity of navugationalhazards, standard and operation of technical equipment on board, ice condition and so on.29.when navigating in a crossing situation , as master or duty officer ,what anti-collision measures should be taken? When the vessels are proceed on head-on condition,what anti-collision rule should be observed? When a power-driven ship and sailing meet in the sea, what anti-collision rule should be observed?When two power-driven ships are crossing , the ship which has the other ship on her own starboard side shall keep out of way. To do this ,this ship can either alter course to starboard side or slow down her speed in order to avoid collision.When two power –driven ships are meeting head-on situation or near head-on situation , each ship shall alter course to starboard so that they can jpsaa on the port side of each other at a safe distance.When a ship sails at a higher speed overtakes another ship , the ship shall sails at higher speed or shall alter its course to avoid collision.A power-driven ship shall out of the way of a sailing ship,this can be done either altering its course or speed up to avoid collision.30.you are the watch officer at anchor on an 8000-tons ship which is about 400 feet long, if the weather becomes foggy and foggy , what jprecautions should you take?I would station a man forward with orders to ring the ship’s bell rapidly for 5 seconds every minutes and another man aft to sound the gong likewise.

Most of the vessels I have worked on ，are nearly 10，000 tons in gross tonnage. Now I have all the necessary certificates for bulk carriers and general cargo carrier .this is all for my introduction. Thank you!2. Can you tell me your last vessel?3. What are your responsibilities as a second officer?the second officer is the navigational officer and sometimes also medical officer on board .besides, the second officer shall assist the chief officer. His duties may include the following:(1)navigation watch keeping from 1200 to 1600 and from 0000 to 0400(2)chart and navigational publication corrections(3)passage plan making(4)usually working as the designated communications officer(5)maintenance of communication equipment , instruments and spare parts on board this ship(6)Take care of all the basic navigational equipment and instruments including magneticcompass, gyrocompass ,gyro repeaters, time changes, depth sounders ,course recorder, GPS receivers, and so on.(7)Maintenance of inventories of the stationery(8)Medical duties.(9)Some other works designated by master or chief officer.4. Please briefly describe the procedure of dealing with navigational warnings.Firstly I shall register the navigational warnings in the register book and record the warning number in the card.Secondly I shall select the charts that are affected by the warnings. Then I shall use pens, scissors and glues to fix permanent notice. I shall also use pencils to fix temporary and preliminary notices. The charts are to be corrected according to all the concerned warnings. WhenI correct the chart ,I shall frequently consult the geographical index.5. can you describe the charts correction procedures ?firstly, the second officer has to make sure that he has received the latest notice to mariner and that he has to write the notice request on time. The master shall make emergency request if the lasted is not received.Secondly, the second officer has to record the notice to mariner on the correction logs on time according to the chronological order.Thirdly, when correcting the chart, he has to make sure that the last small correction has beenmade on the chart.Erasure should never be made when deleting information crossed through .instead ,seryes of short double strokes should be used while correction fluid should not be used. And allways insert information before you delete any information.6. Who should draft the passage plan on board? What are included in passage plan? When you make the passage plan, what information do you need?Usually, the passage plan should be prepared by the second officer and approved by the master. during passage ,when an error or mistake is found about the passage plan, it should be report to the master first and corrected afterwards by the second officer .but during voyage the passage plan cannot be changed without the master’s approval.The passage plan should include such information as way points, the distance between way points, courses, current, tide, weather conditions and means of communications, means of fixing position and interval and so on.Besides, the following information and publications are necessary in making the passage plan: sailing directions, pilot book, port entry guidance, tide table, local area warning, warning from the NA V AREA areas, list of light and radio signals, admiralty notice to mariner, sea chart and catalogue of admiralty charts and other publications.7. What is the scope the passage plan cover? If you miss one or two big or small scale charts for next voyage, can the ship give sea going or not?The passage plan should cover the sailing route from berth to berth. Lack of information for some areas may lead to some serious accidents. The ship cans not departure if one or two charts are not available.8. if the signal of three red lights vertically aligned is found on board a ship during night voyage,what do you think is wrong with the ship? If a motor ship is moving under the way ,but not under command ,what kind of signals should she use ?on what occasion do you display two black balls during the day?The vessel is constrained by her draught ,it is very hard for her to maneuver. Our vessel should give a wide berth and take actions to keep away from her.The motor ship should use not-under-command lights,i.e. two red lights vertically aligned during night time,and two black balls vertically aligned during day time.We shall display two black balls when our vessel cannot get out the way for others.9.please describe how do you take care of the magnetic compass?The liquid magnetic compass should be regulary checked for air bubbles and it should always be covered when it is not in use .the deviation of the compass should be checked and observed during every watch.10.how do you set and adjust gyro compass?The second officer should frequently check the gyrocompass’error. Actually,gyrocompass accuracy should be checked at least once a day at sea and at anchor, and for each course steered. During the watch, the simultaneous check should be made at least hourly. If there is any significant deviation error, the second officer should report it to the master and record in the compass record book and deck logbook. The electronic devices should be kept away from the compass in a reasonable distance. The chief officer or other designated officers should test the error in the morning or evening.11.what are your responsibilities as the second officer while the vessel is in port?My responsibilities are to keep good watch,to ensure the safety of life,the ship and the cargo and to maintain good working orders on the vessel.During my watch I should be aware of the draft, under keel clearance, the state of ship,the moring conditions so as to avoid dangerous listing,trim or hull stress during cargo operation. I should also make sure that de-ballasting causes no marine pollution. I should watch and supervise the loading process and report any incident or accident to the chief officer.12.please tell me the difference between the great circle line and rhomb line?In theory, the great circle line is the shortest distance between two places,while the rhomb line is longer than the great circle line .however ,it is very hard for a vessel just to take the great circle line or rhomb line.13.during cargo loading , if you find cargo damages in holds, what should you do?I shall record them in writing or even photograph the damages and report the situation to the chief officer immediately. The chief officer should report it to the tallyman and ask them to replace the cargo , if possible. At the same time, the officer on duty should make the on-the-spot record.If the damages are really very serious, we should report to the master and ask for his instructions.14.when you usually do the chart work? When you are keeping watch, can you do the chart work? Whenever I receive the notice to mariner, I will do the correction and drawing as soon as possible.Generally ,I should not do the chart work when am keeping watch. Doing chart work during watch keeping can give rise to some potential danger to the maneuvering of the vessel.15.what is the maximum blood alcohol concentration (BAC) rate on board?According to the STCW95 Code ,the maximum blood alcohol concentration shall not be more than 0.08% by weight at any time when being tested. But the code of federal regulations requires the blood alcohol concentration to be no more than 0.04%. watch keepers are not allowed to drink any alcoholic beverage 4 hours before their watch . besides ,when bunkering ,loading and unloading, moring and unmoring,4 hours before and after port all, the sailor on board cannot have any alcoholic drinks.16.pls tell me your duties as the medical officer.I am responsible for maintaining the medical inventory.

All in all, the rules and regulation of the COLREG 1972 must be strictly obeyed.19.what do you know about EC and ECDIS?EC means electronic chart, and ECDIS means electronic chart and information system.. this system uses the computer technology to provide chart details on a visual display unit, combined with an automatic indication of ship’s position , and possibly a radar image, and a navigation aide.this kind of chart needs basic computer operation skills and automation knowledge.20.can you tell me the main contents of a typical admiralty notice to mariner? How did you get the notice to mariner on your last vessel?The admiralty notice to mariner is a maritime publication issued by the hydrographic department of the unitec kingdom . they include admiralty notices, australian and new zealand notices. They are published on a weekly basis .there is also an annual summary version.The admiralty notice to mariner includes 6 sections . section one, explanatory notes and indexes to section two .section two , admiralty notices to mariners-corrections to charts. Section three , reprints of radio navigational warnings.section four , corrections to admiralty sailing derections.section five,corrections to admiralty list of lights and fog signals .section six , corrections to admiralty list of radio signals.On my last ship, the ship owner provided us with the notice to mariner in every major port .if they failed to give us the notice . we will send them a reqrest for this by e-mail.21.it is very important to get rid of the outdated charts and other SMS documents on board . why? It is very important to keep the lasted revised charts also some other ISM documents on board in the deck ang engine room . and keep away those out-of-dated charts because after a period of time, you will not be able to know what documents are the newest ones. The mixture of the old and new documents on board can easily give rise to some problems for the safety of the vessel . so it is very important to do away with the obsolete documents as soon as possible.22.how do you maintain the clocks?I am responsible for the vessel clocks expect for those in the engine room. Before getting underway , clocks shall be compared and synchronized , and the synchronization record shall be entered into the deck logbook.23.under what situations do you call the engine room when you are on duty?(1)whenever it is necessary to make sure that engine room and bridge clocks are synchronized(2)at least one hour before starting or endding a sea passage(3)as soon as it appears that engine operation maneuvers may be required, with one hour’snotice if possible(4)whenever the ship machinery operation may be affected by weather or other conditionchanges , such as shallow water approach, concentration of marine life or seaweed, ice in water ,or change of trim or draft due to ballasting shifting.(5)One hour before inert gas system operation is required (for tanker)(6)One hour before steam is required on deck(7)Whenever the temperature fall to 2 degree centigrade to prevent damage to equipment(8)At least one hour before the standby generator is required(9)Whenever the cargo pumps are used(10)O ne hour prior to getting underway24.what should you do first after you jion a vessel?Firstly, I shall familiarize myself with the familisrization booklet, the muster lists and emergency card in my cabin.Secondly , I shall report to the master and get familiar with other officers and crew on board the vessel .Thirdly , with accompaniment of the relieved second officer , I shall have an inspection of those items he was responsible for . I shall discuss immediately with the master on any unsatisfactory conditions, including equipment malfunctions. I shall also take over all the documents the second officer should take care of . a good handover with the relieved second officer is the most important job for me.25.when do you have to change from the automatic steering to manual steering?The steering mode should be changed from automatic to manual mode under the following circumstances:(1)in any emergency situation(2)in diminishing and restricted visibility, as defined by the master(3)when the ship’s steering in shallow water(4)when the master or duty officer think it is necessarywhen the steering mode is changed , the watch officers shall supervise the process.26.if ship collision happens when you are on duty , what procedure should you follow？I shall carry out the emergency checklistFirstly, I will sound the alarm for emergency. Secondly, I will inform the master immediately. Thirdly, I will inform the engine room and prepare engine standby; after ship collision , all the tanks should be sounded and the ship owner, manager should be informed of the accident.

And all the above actions, ship’s position, times,etc . should be recorded properly.27.before the ship sails to a new port , if you do not have one or two necessary charts, what should you possibly do?If possible , I will ask for help from the master . if the master cannot help, I may ask for help from the vessels sailing in the same area. Anyway I will try to solve the problem before the vessel sails to the port.28.what is safety speed during sailing？What factors should you consider in deciding the speed of a vessel during sailing in the sea?The safe speed is the speed at which the vessel can take proper and effective actions to be stopped in a safe distance. The following factors should be taken into account to achieve safe speed : visibility,number of ships in the area, the ship’s maneuverability ,wind force, sea tide and current , background lights, draught and available depth of water, proximity of navugationalhazards, standard and operation of technical equipment on board, ice condition and so on.29.when navigating in a crossing situation , as master or duty officer ,what anti-collision measures should be taken? When the vessels are proceed on head-on condition,what anti-collision rule should be observed? When a power-driven ship and sailing meet in the sea, what anti-collision rule should be observed?When two power-driven ships are crossing , the ship which has the other ship on her own starboard side shall keep out of way. To do this ,this ship can either alter course to starboard side or slow down her speed in order to avoid collision.When two power –driven ships are meeting head-on situation or near head-on situation , each ship shall alter course to starboard so that they can jpsaa on the port side of each other at a safe distance.When a ship sails at a higher speed overtakes another ship , the ship shall sails at higher speed or shall alter its course to avoid collision.A power-driven ship shall out of the way of a sailing ship,this can be done either altering its course or speed up to avoid collision.30.you are the watch officer at anchor on an 8000-tons ship which is about 400 feet long, if the weather becomes foggy and foggy , what jprecautions should you take?I would station a man forward with orders to ring the ship’s bell rapidly for 5 seconds every minutes and another man aft to sound the gong likewise.

All in all, the rules and regulation of the COLREG 1972 must be strictly obeyed.19. what do you know about EC and ECDIS ?EC means electrionic chart, and ECDIS means electronic chart and information system.This system usees the computer technology to provide chart details on a visual display unit, combined with an automatic indication of ship’s position, and possibly a radar image, and a navigation aide. This kind of chart needs basic computer operation skills and automation knowledge.20. can you tell me the main contents of a typical admiralty notice to mariner? How did youget the notice to mariner on your last vessel?The admiralty notice to mariners is a maritime publication issued by the hydrographic department of the united kingdom. They include admiralty nitices, Australian and new Zealand notices. They are published on a weekly basis. There is also an annual summary version.The admiralty noyice to mariner includes 6 sections. Section one, explanatory notes and indexes to section two. Admiralty notices to mariners-corrections to charts. Section three, reprints of radio navigational warnings. Section four, corrections to admiralty sailing directions. Section five, corrections to admiralty list of radio signals.On my last ship, the ship owner provided us with the notice to mariners in every major port. If they failed to give u s the notice, we’ll send them a request for this.21.it is very important to get rid of the outated charts and other SMS documents on board.Why?It is very important to keep the latest revised charts(also some other ISM documents on board)in the deck and engine room, and keep away those out – of – dated charts because aftera period of time, you will not be able to know what documents are the newest ones. Themixture of the old and new documents on board can easily give rise to some problems for the safety of he vessel. So it is very important to do away with the obsoletedocuments as soon as possible.22.how do you maintain the clocks?I am responsible for the vessel clocks except for those in the engine room. Beforegetting underway, clocks shall be compared and synchronized, and the synchronization record shall be entered into the deck logbook.23.under what situations do you call the engine room when you are on duty?(1)whenever it is necessary to make sure that engine room and bridge clocks aresynchronized;(2)at least one hour before starting or ending a sea passage;(3)as soon as it appears that engine operation maneuvers may be required, with one hour’snotice if possible;(4)whenever the ship machinery operation may be affected by weather or other conditionchanges, such as shallow water approach, concentration of marine lifeor seaweed, ice in water, or change of trim or draft due to ballasting shifting;(5)one hour before inert gas system operation is required (for tanker);(6)one hour before steam is required on deck;(7)whenever the temperature falls to 2 degree centigrade to provent damage to equipment;(8)at least one hour before the standby generator is required;(9)whenever the gargo pumps are used;(10)o ne hour prior to getting underway.24.what should you do first after you join a vessel?Firstly, I shall familiarize myself with the familiarization booklet, the must lists and emergency card in my cabin.

Third, with accompaniment of the relieved second officer, I shall discuss immediately with the master on any unsatisfactions, including equipment malfunctions. I shall also take over all the documents the second officer should take care of. A good handover with the relieved second officer is the most important thing for me.25.when do you have to change from the automatic steering to manual steering?The steering mode should be change from automatic to manual mode under the following circumstances: (1) in any emergency situations; (2) in diminishing and restricted visibility, as defined by the master; (3) when the ship’s steering in shallow water; (4) when the master thinks necessary.When the steering mode is changed, the watch officers shall supervise the process.26.if ship collision happens when you are on duty, what procedure should you follow?I should follow the emergency checklist.Firstly, I will sound the alarm for emergency;Secondly, I will inform the master immediately;Thirdly, I will inform the engine room and propare engine standby;After ship collision, all the tanks should be sound be and the ship owner, manager should be informed of the accident. The accident report should also be sent to the all concerned parties and the coast country. And all the above actions, ship’s position, times, etc.should be recorded properly.27.before the ship sails to a new port, if you do not have one or two necessary charts, whatshould you possibly do?If possible, I will ask for help from the master. If the master cannot help, I may ask for help from the vessels sailing in the same area. Anyway, I will try to solve the problem before the vessel sails to the port.28.what is safety speed during sailing? What factors should you consider in deciding thespeed of a vessel during sailing in the sea?The safe speed is the speed at which the vessel can take proper and effective actions to be stopped in a safe distance. The following factors should be taken into account to achieve safe speed: visibility, number of ships in the area, the ship’s maneuverability, wind force, sea tide and and current, background lights, draught and available depth of water, proximity of navigational hadards, standart and operation of technical equipment on board, ice conditon and so on.29.when navigation in a crossing situation, as master or duty officer, what anti-collisionmeasures should be taken? When the vessels are proceed on head-on condition, what anti-collision rule should be observed? When a power-driven ship and sailing meet in the sea, what anti-collision rule should be observed?When to power-driven ships are crossing, the ship which has the other ship on her own starboard side shall keep out of way. To do this, this ship can either alter course to starboard side or slow down her speed in order to avoid collision.When to power-driven ships are meeting head-on situation or near head-on situation,each ship shall alter course to starboard so that they can pass on the port siode of each other at a safe distance.When a ship sails at a higher speed overtakes another ship, the ship shall sails at higher speed or shall alter its course to avoid collision.A power-driven ship shall keep out of the way of a sailing ship. This can be done eitheraltering its course or speed up to avoid collision.30.you are the watch officer at another on an 8000-ton ship which is about 400 feet long. Ifthe weather becomes foggy and foggy, what precautions should you take?I should station a man forward with orders to ring the ship’s bell rapidly for about 5seconds every minutes and another man aft to sound the gong likewise. Ship’s whistle or siren would be ready for use in case of necessity to give warning of my position to a veseel approaching. The signals for this warning shall be 3 blasts in succession.31.when should a turnover(handover)of watch be deferred or postpond?Usually, under the following situations, the turnover can be deferred or even postond: (1) if the officer on watch has reasion to believe that the relieving officer is obiously not able to carry out his duties effectively; (2) when bridge maneuver us taking place, turnover of watch must be defeered until the action is completed and the ship is in a safe condition for the relief of the watch to take place.32.under what conditions should you as officer on watch change the ship’s speed?Refer to the questions and reference answers for the chief officer.33.what actions should be taken when restricted visibility is encountered or expected?(1) call or notify the master; (2)switch on the navigational lights;(3) switch on andsound fog signal; (4) switch on ARPA and rdar; (5) shift to manual steering for maneuver; (6) post additional lookout; (7) inform and advise engine room for any emergency maneuvers. 34.what precautionary measures are to be done 12 hours before arrival at or departurefrom any port?I shall test the following before entering or getting underway: (1) primary and secondarysteering gear; (2) internal control communications and control alarm; (3) standby and emergency generator; (4) storage batteries for emergency lighting; (5) main propulsion ahead and astern.35.what should you do in case of steering failure?When there is a steering failure, I shall report to the master immediately, so that be may take whatever actions are required. At the same time, provide no further incidents occur, hoist the signals for a vessel not under command. At the same time, inform the engine room and determine the time necessary for repairs, if possible, so that the necessary preparations can be made on the bridge.36.when is great circle sailing most advantageous? Please explain briefly.Thye shortest distance between two meridians is the arc of the great circle contained between these two poits. The advantages of using the great circle sailing are most obvious in high latitudes, where there is a large difference of longitude between the points of departure and destination.37.how do you do the chart work?The chart work must be so detailed that the master or relieving officer can easily and quikly find out the ship’s last known position and from that they can determine its presentposition. Detailed chart work includes course line, DR position marked with time and distance, observed position with time and distance plus the position fixing method.Special notes like when the master should be informed and when to slow down, etc. are also needed in some dangerous areas.38.if a man is overboard, what actions should you take immediately?I should throw him a lifebuoy and follow the emergency procedure. That is to say, Ishould sound the alarm, inform the master and the engine room, make the Williamson turn and keep constant lookout.39.what is confine waters? What factor should you take into account when you makepassage plan in the confined waters?Confined waters means an area of the sea where the width of the safely navigable waterway is not more than about 2 miles, such as a strait, considering the draft of the vessel and water depth.For navigation in confined waters, I shall consider the following maters in planning a passage:(1)presence/absence of special navigational rules and items to report.(2)Information on the sailing directions, coast pilot, and so on.(3)The draft of the vessel and the navigable of the sea.(4)The effect of sinkage of the hull (squat) and keeping enough under keel clearance.(5)Tides, and a tidal current.(6)Weather conditions and counter-measures against restricted visibility.(7)Use of navigation aids to give a sign, and setting of parallel index (line for avoidingdanger).(8)Passing time of danger points (daylight/night-time)?(9)The degree of congested water-traffic, crowded area with fishing boats, andcounter-measures for the above mentioned.(10)T he vessel’s maneuvering ability.(11)N ecessary/lack of necessity for adjustment of the vessel’s speed.40.what is safety speed during sailing? What factors should you consider in deciding thespeed of a vessel during sailing in the sea?The safe speed is the speed at which the vessel can take proper and effective actions to be stopped in a safe distance. The following factors should be taken into account to achieve safe speed: visibility, number of ships in the area, the ship’s man euverability, wind force, sea tide and current, background lights, draught and available depth of water, proximity of navigational hazards, standard and operation of technical equipment on board, ice condition and so on.41.when navigating in a crossing situation, as master or duty officer, what anti-cillisionmeasures should be taken? When the vessels are proceed on head-on condition, what anti-collision rule should be observed? When a power-driven ship and sailing meet in the sea, what anti-cillision rule should be observed?When two power-driven ships are crossing, the ship which has the other ship on own starboard side shall keep out of way. To do this, this ship can either alter course to starboard side or slow down her speed in order to avoid colloision.When two power-driven ships are meeting head-on situation or near head-on situation,each ship shall alter course to starboard so that they can pass on the port side of each other ata safe distance.When a ship sails at a higher alter its course to avoid collision.A power-driven ship shall keep out of the way of a sailing ship.

应急锚地是过了放弃线而无法在继续前行是用来应急锚泊的区域，二者应该靠近设置，一般进港在引航站或灯标灯塔暗标等物标附近，划在需要紧急抛锚避险时，在放弃线远离港口一侧开阔适当水域画定的应急锚地。
9、为什么要用不同方式方法进行船舶定位？狭水道航行为什么要用“避险线”、“平行线”？答: 要用不同的方式进行船舶定位可以有效防止由于定位错误而产生的危险，不同手段核实由于人为或者其他因素产生的误差，确保船舶航行安全。
在狭水道或则岛礁区航行虽然有各种航行标志助航，但是由于区域内往往地形复杂，危险物多，来往船只频繁，水深与水流变化较大，特别是在夜间或者天气恶劣的条件下，仅仅靠目测导航是十分困难的，而利用雷达的平行线和方位距离避险就较直观和方便。

先研究资料，查始发港和目的港的位置；之后察看进港指南、航路指南、船舶定线、无线电信号表、世界大洋航路和航路设计图等资料对两港间的水道情况和港口情况进行进一步了解，仔细研究并了解航次气象、到港期间的水文气象，根据气象、海况条件结合船舶载货和船员应变能力选择航线。
选择航次用图时要选择最新版的海图，在选图时尽可能选择大比例尺的海图保证海图能够覆盖全部航线和其毗邻区域如船上的海图不足应尽快向代理申请；并将海图改到最新再将有效的临告和预告、航行警告等信息改正到海图上。
设计航线时先在总图上构思大致的航线，尽量选择推荐航线和熟悉的航线，选择好航线后将航线画到总图上；本船具备电子海图，可在电子海图上先输入大致航线，可估算出航程，再根据航速估算航行时间，初步确定通过重要和水道的时间，将航线分段考虑，拟定航行措施，航法、定位、避险、和遭遇恶劣天气的对策。
在电子海图上把航线制定好后可将各航路点打印出来，在画在纸质海图上，尽可能使用大比例尺海图，海图信息更加全面、可靠。
航线画好后要进行检查，由于电子海图上的信息与纸质海图有时又区别，应以纸版海图信息为准，当然在条件许可的情况下，尽量避开两种海图上的所有的浅点，沉船，危险物标，油井等碍航物；如有不合适的地方及时修正，修正时需在两种海图上都得改正，不得疏漏；在航线画好之后还应将航路点、水道的重要信息和总的航程，预计航行时间交船长检查；船长同意后开始整理航线，将报告点、报告线及报告内容，放弃航线点、定位间隔，定位方式，施舵点，应急锚地、禁航区和避险线等信息标注在海图上。
航次计划和风险评估上必须有的信息1）航线上的水文气象资料2）所需要的航行出版物和必备的海图3）潮汐和港口情况4）航行中须注意到的危险点和标记5）报告点和到港后的联系方式内容对象6）所有的航路点和航程7）意外事故的应急行动8）UKC富裕水深情况9）驾驶台各种情况对应的值班等级和值班安排等14、何为PMU，为什么每班要进行PMU测试？简述一下“海浪抑制”、“雨雪干扰”在功能使用上有何不同？答：（雷达性能测试）PMU测试,每班接班30分钟内做PMU测试，PMU测试可以通过雷达屏幕的光斑形状显示来判断雷达的性能，保证航行安全。
