Q.1) At 0530 hrs, a vessel was in position with Lundy Island South bearing 030°(T) and 6’ off. Shesteered a certain compass course and her engine speed was 9 Knots. After one hour she altered hercourse to due north and increased her engine speed to 12 knots. At 0700 hrs, the bearing of LundyIsland North was observed to 120°(T). The

Q.1) While steering 060O(T) at 12 knots in meteorological visibility of 2NM, a vessel bound for Carmarthen Bay last sighted St. Gowan Lt. (51O 30.5’N, 004O 59.5’W) at 2200 Hrs. At 2245 Hrs/ Caldey Island Lt (51O 38’N, 004O 41’W) first became visible. The current was known to set 330O(T) at 3 knots. Determine the ship’s position at 2200 hrs
Q.1) A vessel while steering a course of 232°(T) observes the following bearings of Utklippan Lt. (55°57’N 015° 42’E), 1900: 282°(T), 1930: 311°(T), 2015: 023°(T). If the current is known to be setting020°(T), find the position of the vessel at 1900 and 2015 hrs. Also find the course and speed madegood. Answer: 1900 Hrs. – 55°55.5’N; 015°55.3’E2015 Hrs. – 55°52.5’N;
Q.1) At 0200 hrs straight Pt. Lt. (50° 36.6’N & 003° 21.7’W) bore 300°(T) when the vessel crossed 30 m contour. Find the ships position, from this position find the course to steer to pass bill of Portland Lt. (50° 31’N, 002° 27’W) 9’ off port. Engine speed 12 kts, vessel experiencing a NE’ly wind causing a leeway of 5O
Q.1) A vessel Steering compass course observes the following bearings at 1900 hrs:Govan’s Head Point (37) (51° 35.8’N, 004° 55.4’W) – 257° CCaldey Is. Lt. (51° 37.9’N, 004° 41.0’W) – 077° C Same time i.e. at 1900 hrs St. Govan Lt. Vessel (51° 30.6’N, 004° 59.7’W) – 30° on starboard bow. At 1930 hrs finds the same Lt. Vessel 60°
Q.1) A container vessel dropped Pilot at Cork Harbour Pilot station (51O 45’N, 008O 15’W) at 1000 hrs,plan a passage to joint East bound Traffic Lane (TSS) off Tuskar Rocks, taking into account tidal streamdata at ‘H’, ship’s speed 16 kts, HW at KOBH 0600 (Spring tide), ship’s draft 12m, all navigationalequipments are in working condition. Courses, way points, distances
Q.1) The following bearings of Bill of Portland light (50° 30.8’N, 002° 27.4’W) were observed by a ship. At 1000 hrs 325°(T), at 1030 hrs; 355°(T) and at 1100 hrs, 025°(T). If in above duration she had steered a course of 258°T and current set N’ly. Find her course and speed made good and rate of the current experienced. Engine
