PDF, with the strongest emphasis placed on Apply advanced navigational techniques including
celestial and electronic methods to determine position and plan routes, Evaluate weather systems
and sea states to make informed passage decisions, Demonstrate command-level seamanship,
safety and and emergency response in complex scenarios. Every item follows the wording style
and level of reasoning you meet in the real paper, and each one is paired with a clear rationale so
the correct choice is never a guess. Work through the set at your own pace, mark the questions
that slow you down, then come back to them until the reasoning feels automatic. Learners who
revise this way walk into the exam room recognising the pattern behind the questions instead of
meeting them for the first time. Keep going - steady, honest practice is what turns a difficult paper
into a comfortable pass.
Q1 APPLY ADVANCED NAVIGATIONAL TECHNIQUES INCLUDING CELESTIAL AND
ELECTRONIC METHODS TO DETERMINE POSITION AND PLAN ROUTES
A vessel is on a starboard tack close-hauled in the Northern Hemisphere. The wind
shifts 15° to the right (veering). To maintain the same true wind angle, what is the
most appropriate course adjustment?
A. Bear away 15°. CORRECT
B. Head up 15°.
C. Hold course and adjust sail trim.
D. Bear away 7.5° and then head up 7.5°.
RATIONALE: A veering wind (shifting right) means the wind direction moves clockwise, so to
maintain the same true wind angle, the vessel must bear away (turn away from the wind) by the
same amount. Heading up would decrease the true wind angle and risk luffing. Holding course
would change the apparent wind and require sail trim but not maintain the true wind angle. A
partial adjustment would not achieve the desired true wind angle.

, Q2 APPLY ADVANCED NAVIGATIONAL TECHNIQUES INCLUDING CELESTIAL AND
ELECTRONIC METHODS TO DETERMINE POSITION AND PLAN ROUTES
Under COLREGS, two power-driven vessels are crossing with risk of collision.
Vessel A is on the starboard side of Vessel B. Which vessel is the give-way vessel
and what action should it take?
A. Vessel A; it must alter course to starboard and pass astern of B.
B. Vessel B; it must alter course to starboard and pass astern of A. CORRECT
C. Vessel A; it must maintain course and speed as stand-on vessel.
D. Vessel B; it must maintain course and speed as stand-on vessel.
RATIONALE: According to COLREGS Rule 15, when two power-driven vessels are crossing, the
vessel which has the other on her starboard side is the give-way vessel. Here, Vessel B has
Vessel A on its starboard side, so B is give-way and must alter course to starboard to pass astern
of A. Vessel A is stand-on and must maintain course and speed. Options A, C, and D incorrectly
identify the give-way/stand-on roles.
