In the early hours of a November morning, the fully laden 42,259gt Panamanian registered container vessel Ambassador Bridge was inbound to the English Channel, and had closed the south Devon coast to embark a pilot off Brixham.
In preparing to embark the pilot at the port side pilot station situated some 2m above the waterline, a seaman was detailed off to rig the pilot ladder and stand by to receive him. He made a radio check with the bridge when he arrived, but when the bridge tried to contact him again as the pilot boat approached, there was no reply. Chief officer was sent down to investigate.
The chief officer found the pilot door wide open, the ladder unrigged, water sloshing around the station deck, but no sign of the seaman detailed off to prepare the ladder for embarkation.
The body of a man, later identified as the deceased seaman, was recovered from the sea some four hours later.He was not wearing a lifejacket. 69.Ambassador Bridge was not ______.
A. an inbound vessel to the English channel B. a Panamanian registered container vessel
C. in ballast
D. near the Devon coast
70.Of the following, ______ is not correct.
A. the vessel was receiving her pilot who was to come down from the pilot station which was 2m above the sea
B. the deceased did not rig the pilot ladder
C. the deceased reported to the bridge as soon as he arrived there

D. the vessel was receiving her pilot at port side
71.The body of the deceased seaman was recovered by ______.
A. the C/O B. the Pilot C. a salver D. someone not mentioned 72.It can be concluded that the deceased seaman ______. A. wore a lifejacket but lost it when overboard in the sea C. dropped into the sea to catch the pilot ladder
D. was given instructions in detail before being sent to his station 第二组：第一次
While berthed alongside in Tenerife, the cruise ship Arcadia was carrying out a lifeboat drill. One lifeboat was successfully launched and as it was being recovered, the winch hoisting it failed. The lifeboat was still connected to the falls and it dropped back into the sea.
To investigate what had happened, the crew had to wind the falls back onto the winch drum. The lifeboat was disconnected while the crew tried to restart the winch. They were unsuccessful because of a fault on the hand crank cutout switch.
The crew then attempted to wind the falls back on using the hand crank, but because of the time and effort involved, the cutout switch was bypassed and power restored to speed up the operation. The crank handle was left in place.
The winch was started. It began to turn and so too did the handle which hit one of the crew over the head.
The investigation found that the winch failed in the first place because the oil used in the winch gearbox was not one recommended. It was too viscose and would have prevented the coupling locking mechanism from operating correctly.
7
B. committed suicide
73.It was the fault on the ________ that caused the failure to recover the lift boat A. crank handle B. hand crank cutout switch C. power system D. falls 74.It was the ______ that hit the crewmember on his head.
A. falls B hand crank cutout switch C. crank handle D. winch drum 75.The cause of the accident was that______.
A. the oil used in the winch gearbox was too viscose connected with the falls C. the life boat was too heavy crew
76.The lesson from this accident is that ______.
A. seafaring is not all about facing unforeseen situations
D. the bypass to the cutout switch was misused by the
B.
the
winch
drum
was
B. it is not necessary to wear hard hats to prevent sore heads C. the wrong oil can not have serious repercussions
D. do not start lifeboat winch motors with the crank handle in place

Modern bulk carriers are normally designed to carry a variety of cargoes in order to provide operational flexibility. For cargoes such as coal or grain the ship would have all hold s filled with the cargo (homogeneous loading condition) and be down to maximum draught. If heavy cargoes, with a stowage rate of about one third of that for coal were to be carried in the homogeneous condition each hold would only be about
8
one third full. In that condition the ship would have a large metacentric height and a low centre of gravity resulting in a very “stiff” ship.
Modern bulk carriers, intended for the carriage of ore, are designed for the carriage of ore cargoes in alternate hold s and in larger ships only the odd numbered hold s are loaded with ore. The advantages in this are that it is easier to achieve a satisfactory trim on the ship and a reduced time spent in port. However, the disadvantages are that the alternate hold loading pattern greatly increases the stresses in the double bottom structure and the shear forces in the side shell. The double bottom, hopper and topside tanks are arranged for the carriage of water ballast with the double bottom and hopper tanks often being inter-connected, by vertical trunks or pipes, with the topside tanks. 69.The homogeneous loading condition refers to loading pattern that ______. A. all cargo hold s are fully loaded to the maximum of both volume and weight capacities
B. each hold would only be about one third full
C. only the odd numbered hold s are loaded D. all cargo hold s are loaded with cargoes
70.“Stiff” ship is the condition that _______. A. she has a large metacentric height
B. she has a high centre of gravity
C. her metacenter above baseline is high D. her centre of gravity is low 71.The ______ are not arranged for the carriage of ballast water.
A. double bottom tanks B. topside tanks C. hopper tanks D. vertical trunks or pipes
72.The disadvantage of the alternate hold loading pattern is that ______.

A 1,300gt general cargo vessel was on passage from the Medway to Antwerp and
was starting to cross the Dover Strait traffic separation scheme at 8 knots and very nearly right angles on a course of 120°.
At approximately the same time a 40,000gt container ship had joined the
south-west traffic lane some 4 miles to the north and steadied on a course of 215°at a speed of 14 knots. She was seen by the master of the smaller vessel who quickly assessed that a risk of collision existed. The smaller vessel was, by the 'Rules', the stand on vessel.
When the distance between both vessels had reduced to 2.75 miles and there was
no sign of any avoiding action by the larger ship, the smaller ship's master reduced speed to half ahead and sounded five short and rapid blasts to attract attention.
When the distance between both vessels had reduced further to 1.5 miles the
smaller ship's master stopped his engines. He was unable to alter course to starboard because of other traffic and was unwilling to alter to port in case the container vessel altered course to starboard at the last minute.
She did not, and passed ahead at a range of 5 cables.
