Q.1) A v/l steering a westerly course observes Utklippan Lt. (55° 57’ N, 15° 41’E) at a bearing of 057°(T) and 8’ off. After running 16 miles by engines on her course Hano Lt. Gp fl 3 (56° 01’N, 14° 51’E) bore 328° (T) and after running another 8 by engines, it bore true north. Find: a) Vessel’s position at
Q.1) A vessel steering 084°C allowing for a current setting 234°T at 2.4knots observed Berry Head Lt. (50° 24’N 003° 29’W) bearing 348°C and Start Pt. Lt. (50° 13’N 003° 38’W) bearing 245°C. Find the vessel’s positions and estimate the relative bearing and distance off Bill of Portland Lt. (50° 30.8’N, 002° 27.4’W) on first sighting. Meteorological visibility is estimated
Q.1) At 1100 hours a vessel observes ‘Svartgrund’ buoy (55° 14.2’ N, 014° 15.2’E) 3 miles to NE with her engines under repairs. At 1300 hours the engines were started at a slow speed of 6 knots. Set course now to have ‘Hammerode’ Lt. Ho. (55° 17.9’ N, 014° 46.6’E) right ahead when 4 miles away. When will this light
Q.1) While steering 285°C Ballycotton Island light (51° 49.5’ N 007° 59’W) was last sighted in visibility of 5 miles. H.E. = 8m. After one hour, in clear visibility, Roche’s point lt. (51° 47’N 008° 15’W) changed from white to red, current setting 140° T at 3 knots. Leeway due to Northerly wind was 4°. Calculate course and speed made
Q.1) A vessel observes Christianso Island Main Light (55° 19.2’ N, 015° 11.6’E) bear 270°(T) x 5 miles off at 1930 hours. Find the course to steer to have Hano Light (56° 00.8’N, 014° 51’E) 4 points on port bow when it is 12 miles off. At 2130 hours while on this course at a speed of 14 knots the
Q.1) At 2100 hrs, a ship observes the horizontal angle between Kingswear Light (500 21’N, 0030 34’W) and Start point Lt. (500 13’N, 0030 38’W) to be 500. It then steers a course of 2100 (T). At 2130 hrs, start point fixed Red Light was last visible. Find the ship’s position at 2130 hrs, assuming no current. From this position
Q.1) At 0800 a vessel is in position with Bill of Portland bearing 330°(T) distance 4 miles by radar. Find course to steer from 0800 hrs at 12 knots to pass Start point (50° 13.3’N, 003° 38.3’W) 6 miles off when closed. The current in the area is setting 300° at 2 knots and wind is E’ly causing leeway of
Q.1) At 2000 hrs., a vessel drops pilot at Simrishamn pilot station (55° 33.5’N 014° 24’E) and steers acourse of 071°(T) at 9 knots with the meteorological visibility being 5 miles. The vessel is to proceed to Karlsham pilot station (56° 08’N 014° 54’E). The Master decides to alter course when Simrishamn Lt. (Isp. WRG 6s) obscures (last seen). After
Q.1) At 1800 hrs from DR position lat 55° 03’ N long 016° 28’E, a vessel obtains an intercept of 2’towards on an Azimuth of 009°. She was steering a course of 330°T at 12 Kts. Thereafter the visibilitybecame poor. If the current in the area is 060°(T) at 2 Kts, when and what should be her nextalteration of course
Q.1) Your vessel is South East of Merapas Island (00°55.7’ 104°55.7’E) and steering a course of 352°(G) when the following bearings were observed. Gyro error = 2°(H).0930 hrs Merapas 1st South tip – 292°G0950 hrs Merapas 1st South tip – 262°G1010 hrs Merapas 1st South tip – 227°G1010 hrs Merapas is (01° 02.8’N 104°50.0’E) – 284°GFind i) Position at 1010hrsii)
