| AGARWAL | 3-FEB-20 | Cards reg – Preferred channel to port/ Stbd, Towing vessel, Fishing Vessel.Situations.RV, when own vessel slow down there is a vessel right behind so cannot slow down and vessel on starboard side very close. So justify going to port using 2b.OV in TSS crossing vessel from starboard side. So in TSS normal rules apply i.e own vessel to give way.Above situation but in Narrow channel then own vessel becomes stand on vessel.CBD vessel. CBD has PD vessel on starboard bow. So has to know CBD does not have right of way and has to reduce speed, however the PD vessel may give way depending on the situation but is not required.Towing vessel. Towing vessel on port bow. So has to know that own vessel is stand on vessel unless towing vessel is showing RAM lights.PD vessel being overtaken by FV.

Vsl less than 150m fog signal hearing distance. What do u mean by height above the hull how it’s measured…what is upper most continuous? deck is it measured from deckline…what about timber vsl who has raised poop deck. Sailing vsl rule in detail. Which rules apply to sailing vsl…what does it tells. Sailing vsl situations. What is root cause analysis? Manouvering light…how do u use it what are the requirements? RV rules in brief….fog signal of making way and underway. What is the difference btw dem… In rv where is it mentioned u can’t alter yo port and for which vsl u can. How do u define overtaking in rv… How will u come to know u r overtaking a vsl inoperational radar both. Ok now u decided not to overtake …u tawo and freq increased…and port bow u hear fog signals of two vsl and stbd side two fog signal of two vsl…what will u do…fog signal inoperational and radar inopt…u already took tawo…ok now astern propulsion but still u r doing some speed how will u avoid the risk of collision… Again annex 1 about sidelights separation. Why in sailing vsl rule..the wind to the port side of the vsl has to keep clear…why not stbd… What is barometer? What is barometer dip? What if pressure is dropping? How u know TRS is developing and how is it approaching? Where u can’t use buys ballots law? Diurnal range. | F1 |
| VAZ | 18-OCT-19 | Rules of section 1,2 & 3 None were direct questions. No situations, no cards. He wants to see your understanding of the rules and wants you to connect all the dots between the sections. A lot of Cross questioning. Will rule 19 apply when you sight the vessel or a light just less than 1 mile? Ans – yes rule 19 still applies because restricted visibility is a general term and not to be used for one to one situations. Also too many cross questioning to check if you stay confident with your answer. How will you determine risk of collision in r.v (He wants to hear all available means) I answered Radar, Ais, sound signal, VHF. He said I missed out one, he didn’t tell me the answer.

| VAZ | 21-JULY-17 | What is SBCM What all A3 gmdss equipment are maintained by the maintaining company and by what authority Batteries for portable VHF wt Also for uhf wt Alternative of navtex, I said egc He said can u transmit emergency message on egc I said yes, he said wrong and many more believe me guys kuch samajme nahi aaya par phir bhi I managed to tell jo aa raha hai wo Phir pucha interco ka latest edition kab ka hai and many more very high level He was impressed told me I’ll give u func 1 par NITIN bhi toh one and only hain unhone bola make historical wreck banao Batao all round light vertical distance- I said 1 and also 2 2 or 3 situation | F1 | |
| VAZ | 21-JULY-17 | 1) your radar is on 24 miles.. u can see a land which is 50 miles away… How? 2) when 2 or 3 lights carried out separtion between them…. I told him 2m and 1m thing as per annex1…. He said wrong 3) he asked me from where height of light taken…. I said above hull… Then what is above hull….i said upper most continuous deck….. He said wrong….. 3) manoeuvring light distance…. I said as per annex…. Said wrong…. Then i showed him ror book….. He said don’t argue….. 4) rv situation one vessel fwd of beam and fishing vessel starboard beam action? I said reduce speed…. He said wrong take wide alteration to port and pass ahead….. I said as per 19d wrong said don’t argue…. Please listen to errol Fernandez speech… 5) difference between raster and vector charts….

| VERMA | 9-SEPT-20 | crossing situation, reducing CPA , at what point you will take action as stand on ( he wants us to take action when 6-7 miles before close quarters situation as a stand on vsl), in between was asking the understanding of the situation as per the rules ( no need to quote word by word, if u can explain it better using important key words), then overtaking situation with understanding of rules, and then restricted visibility situation with understanding of rules. ( All the situation my vsl is stand on & also while giving your action, when he said range is more than 4 miles, Don’t blindly say ‘5 short & rapid blasts’ as its range is only 2m) He was satisfied with my situations analysis, so didn’t ask much. Passage plan from Mumbai – Antwerp (Belgium) using Chart and ECDIS (wants practical knowledge only) – start with rough passage route, then from chart catalogue see the positions and the required chart to be needed, small scale and large scale, then check what all charts u have, what needs to order and are they corrected till latest NTMs, rest all you can add as per your knowledge, ( don’t rush up take it slow and explain as much as u can, he will forget what was his question and he will move on to next)…wants to hear how to plot T&P correction practically ( with pencil ), what are nav warnings how to plot, where to get.

| VIBHUTI | 18-DEC-17 | He will ask u so many situation,and when you will answer he will also try to confuse you but just stand by to ur answers don’t panic. Situation like crossing, overtaking and rv and so many. Ur gyro failed action at sea. What do you mean by Compasses compared,courses checked. Gave a question related to Mag. Heading ,gyro heading and now ur gyro fails what course will you steer. What is true vector and what is relative vector. When will the true and relative vector be same. How will u know a pilot vessel is underway or making way. Radar not working bearing constant, range decreasing a target near the horizon how will determine her movement.

| VIBHUTI | 11-SEPT-17 | 1] You see a pilot ship right ahead seen from stbd side. Master on bridge no time to take bearing how to find if Roc exist. Ans: From true and relative vector on radar. 2] true course 300 mag 305 var 1e and gyro fails action. Chart change var 1w what will u steer Ans 305 3] vessel 3 points from port bow bearing constant range decreasing. Ans: it is an overtaking situation but I stated it as a crossing situation 4.] a ship from stbd side u can c her masthead and sidelights both which is again 4 points on stbd bow. Ans] I said as per rule 14b head on and so alter course stbd bt it was wrong and he said no roc exist so maintain course and speed. 2 3 more questions bt all from his previous set of questions. He gave only 5 and said depends on internal if he considers you. | F1 | |
