The vessel should be flying her ensign and also her signal letters and the requisite pilot signal when approaching the pilot station. The international signals, as well as any local port signals, can be found in the Sailing Directions, which is also known as the Pilot BookWhen a pilot is required most ports now require due notice of the vessels ETA to be sent in by radio. However, this does not relieve the ships obligation to display the pilot signal (G by any of the methods of signaling ) until the pilot is aboard when H flag will be flown. If the master or first mate of the vessel has a pilotage certificate for the district then the above is unnecessary, in such case the pilot flag (white and red horizontal halves, as on the pilot vessel) will be flown.005.

LTPassage 3-03The basic concept of the GMDSS is that on-shore Search and Rescue authorities, in addition to shipping in the immediate vicinity of a ship in distress, will be alerted rapidly to an incident so that they can assist in co-ordinating a search and rescue operation with the minimum of delay.The system will also provide for urgency and safety communications, and the dissemination of Maritime Safety Information (MSI) including Navigational Warnings and Weather Messages.GMDSS applies to all ships of 300 G.R.T. or larger, to all passenger ships and all ships on international voyages, which are subject to the SOLAS Convention 1974, as amended 1988.GMDSS has been adopted by the IMO.009.

Global Maritime Distress Satellite SystemB. Global Maritime Distress and Safety SystemC. Global Marine Distress Satellite SystemD.

This force causes the ship to move ahead through the water or to go astern. Because of her shape，a ship will move ahead through the water more easily than going astern.The transverse thrust is the sideways force of the propeller as it rotates. The transverse effect of the propeller blades at the top near the surface of the water is not strong enough to counteract the opposite effect of the lower blades. For right-handed propellers this cants the ships stern to starboard and her bow to port，when the ship is going ahead. The effect is small and can be corrected by the rudder. When the engines are put astern，the effect is the opposite and the stern cants to port. This effect is stronger and cannot easily be corrected. Vessels with left-handed propellers behave in the opposite way.013.The force that causes the ship to move ahead through the water or to go astern is known as_. A. axial thrust B. transverse thrust C. the transverse effect of the propeller blades at the top near the surface of the water D. the transverse effect of the lower blades of the propeller near the bottom of the water014.A left-handed propellers，when the ship is going ahead，will cant ships stern to_. A. starboard B. port C. to move ahead D. move astern015.The transverse thrust of the propeller is stronger when the ship is_. A. going a stern B. going ahead C. stopped D. making no way through the water016.The transverse thrust of the propeller can mainly be overcome by _. A. the rudder B. the propeller itself C. the nautical instrument D. wind and tidePassage 3-05The task of a helmsman is to steer the ship precisely according to the instructions of the officer of the watch. On passage, these instructions take the form of a course to be held, regardless of wind, sea or other sources of deviation. At other times, the instructions will call for the ship to be turned to port or starboard, or to be prevented from turning, or to be lined up on a particular heading.A good helmsman uses the least rudder deflection to maintain a steady course. He must learn quickly at the beginning of each trick whether the ship is carrying port or starboard helm.Most ships now set and steer courses in degrees on the full scale of 0-360degrrs. This system replaces the traditional use of the compass scale divided into cardinals and points. Nevertheless, every seaman and navigator must be familiar with the older system, since the necessary for obtaining certain qualifications (e.g. the Certificate of Efficiency as lifeboatmen); points are also used for indication wind direction.017. Nowadays, the “helmsman” is also called _ onboard.A. Ordinary seaman B. Bosun C. Able seaman D. Carpenter018.What was used for indication the ships course in traditional navigation_ .A. Adegrees on the full scale of 0-360 B. cardinals and points of compassC. sounding in metersD. distance in miles019. When dose the helmsman has to steer the ship precisely _ .A. according to the instructions of the officer of the watchB. when the ship to be turned or to be prevented from turningC. when the ship to be lined up on a particular headingD. all above are correct020. According to points are also used for indication wind direction, please predict how to indicate the set of the current_ . A. degrees B. points C. centigrade D. Beaufort scale Passage 3-06While every effort is made to ensure that the data provided through the Notices to Mariners service is accurate，the user needs to be aware of the risks to corruption of data. It is important that the user should only use the data on suitable equipment and that，other applications should not be running on the users machine at the same time. Users should exercise their professional judgement in the use of data，and also consult the Mariners Handbook (NP100) for further details. The user needs to be aware that there is a possibility that data could be corrupted during transmission，or in the process of display or printing on the users equipment，or if converted to other software formats，and is accordingly advised that the UKHO cannot accept responsibility for any such change，or any modifications or unauthorised changes，made by licensees，or other parties.021.The data may become corrupted in any of the following process except _.

Cargoes to be carried by this type of ship are pre-packed into containers before being loaded aboard the ship.Containers are sealed after being packed with cargoes. Made of metal or other durable materials，they are watertight after sealing and can therefore be stowed on deck whilst being carried. One of the features of container ships is that some of the containers are usually stowed on deck.The container ship is becoming increasingly popular in trading circles，and the trend is that the tonnage thereof will grow at a faster pace in future.025.What does innovation in the first paragraph mean? _.

A. decreasing B. increasing C. remaining the same D. changingPassage 3-08Nautical charts are indispensable to mariners. They，however，are subject to frequent changes，such as those of navigational aids，of waterways due to the dredging and construction，of depths of water，and of removal or appearance of wrecks. In order to keep up-to-date and reliable，nautical charts have to undergo correction. Changes of importance are generally promulgated by weekly edition of Notices to Mariners，which enable mariners to correct the charts by hand. If major changes make it impracticable to do so，the Notices will provide a reproduction of a small area，which is also called block，to be pasted onto the chart in its correct position.029.Nautical charts need correction because _.

Those in force at the end of the year are reprinted in the Annual Summary of Notices to Mariners. A list of corrections in force is published in Section of the Weekly Edition for the last week of each month.It is recommended that corrections be kept in a file with the latest list of corrections in force on top. The list should be consulted when using the parent book to see if any corrections affecting the area under consideration are in force.It is not recommended that corrections be stuck in the parent book or current supplement，but，if this is done，when a new supplement is received care must be taken to retain those corrections issued after the date of the new supplement，which may be several months before its receipt on board.033._ are reprinted in the Annual Summary of Notices to Mariners.

On a large scale chart，for example，full details of all lights and fog signals are shown，but on smaller scales the order of reduction of information in elevation，period，range，until on an ocean chart of the area only lights with a range of 15 miles or more will normally be inserted，and then only their light-star and magenta flare.
