1. How many chart folios are maintened on board your ship and how are they named or
numbered
Answer no.1
The name of the chart folio at the last conspicuous place and it is placed in such
away as to not interface with any navigational information guest on the chart. All
navigational charts on board are generally grouped into folios which can be divided in to
three categories, such as Standard folio, Local folio, and Special folio.
On board my ship, we maintained our charts according to their numbers. My ship
is not liners so we are going Indonesian sea (Ocean going). That is why it is maintain as

- a. AMVER is a word while voluntary vessel reporting system operated by USA Coast
guard to promote safety of life and property at sea. AMVER’s mission is to quicly
provide SAR authority and domond, accurate information on the position &
characteristic of vessel near a reported distress. There are a types of AMVER reports
sailing plan, position report, deviation report, & arrival report.
- b. EPIRB is float free divice using polar-orbit-satelite and the equipment transmit
distress signal to cospas/sarsat satellite, the signal received by the satellite and
sendback to erath st. which discriminates the location and the identification signal of
merchat ships and informs Rescue Coordination Centre of those data. Those installed
after Nov 1994 in add to radio wave to satellites, radio wave used for homing aircfart
transmitted.

QUESTION NO 11
11. If your height of eye is 12 meters,the estimated visibility is 15 miles, disregarding height
of tide, at what range should he Lizard Light (A0060) be sighted? The elevation of the
light is 70 metres and the nominal range is 29 miles.
Answer no.11
- First we should be calculate the actual distance light is visible:

Actual to the Nautical Almanac we can find formula:
Actual distance light is visible = 2,083×(
√ height of eye−sea∈m+ √height of LH ∈m¿
= 2,083×(√ 12+ √ 10 ¿
= 2,083×11,83
= 24,64 NM.
Because the estimated visibility is 15’, you still can see the lizard light because the
actual distance light because the actual distance light is visible 24, 64’, so the condusion
you can look very well the lizard light about15’ because your visibility just only 15’,
you just only see lizard light 15’, not more.
Reference formula Nautical Almanac P 33B
MAJOR : NAUTICA
QUESTION NO 12
12. Given the same stuation as in Question 1 but with the visibility now down to 5 miles at
what range should the light be sighted.
Answer no.12
- As I mentioned in answer no 11, actual distance light is visible at range 24,64 NM, so if
our visibility only 5’ it means that we only can see the lighthouse starting at range 5’ or
less.
MAJOR : NAUTICA
QUESTION NO 13
13. Coming from the eastern Mediterranean, find the raising distance of the Europa Light.
Answer no.13
- = 2,083×(√ height of eye−sea∈m+ √height of LH ∈m¿

= 2,083×(√ 10.5−2 m+√ 36 ¿
= 2,083×( √ 8.5−2m+√ 36)
= 18,8 NM.

15.00 at 6,5m
MAJOR : NAUTICA
QUESTION NO 15
15. Explain vely briefly why tides rise to an abnormal height in certain areas like the Bay of
Fundy
Answer no.15
- Tides rise to an abnormal height in certain areas like the bay of fundy because the
meteorological condition whinch differ from the average. Variation in tidal height in bay
fundy are mainly causes by strong or prolonged wind and by unusually high or low
barometric pressure because a different average in bay of fundy about 34 mb can cause a
differerent in height of about 0,3m. A low barometers winds tend to rise sea level and
high barometer will tend to depress it, and the area of bay of fundy have a topography
where wind will raise sea level in the direction toward which it is blowing and that’s
make an abnormal height condition in are Bay of Fundy
MAJOR : NAUTICA
QUESTION NO 16
16. Define: flood tide, ebb tide & slack water.
Answer no.16
- Flood tide : The incoming or rising tide because the gravitational attraction for the sun

sun and moon are what cause a failing tide
- Slack water : Transision between flood and ebb tide.

relatively bright & horizon still can see but for 2nd and 3rd adjustment is better & more
easily use star rather than horizon because star more accurate and also for 2nd and 3rd
adjustment possibly sky is already, so impossible looking adjustment where sky is dark
with horizon.
- Because star is more accurate and it is not moving out of the earth and horizon. It is

- The differences in the compass bearing of two objects taken from the some repeather
will also give the horizontal angle between the objects two such readings can also be
used to ship the ship position
- Advantages of horizontal sextant angle

 These are more accurate tha a compass fix as sextant can be read more
accurately than compass bearings
 These are independent of compass errors – this two when taking a compass
bearing at the angle remains the some even if the error is not applied
 Angles can be taken from any port of the ship

diary.
Answer no.52
- Using sextant, take a vertical angle of lighthouse and a bearing with the angle 74° with
the sun and bearing 32°. The difference is 2° with the data obtained from computer. Or
Using sextant, take vertical angle of LH, result is 74° with the sun and bearing result is
32°, then plotted to paper chart and compare the difference with the postion obtained
from GPS.
Obtaining a vertical sextant angle:

- Hold the sextant vertically with the index bar
- Look at the top of the L/H or the objects whose vertical angle is to be taken throught the
teleshope
- Turn the micrometer slowly such that the reflected image of the top of the L/H concides
with the base of L/H or the object being observed
- Read the micrometer, reading this will give you me vertical sextant angle of the object
- To eliminate only index error of the sextant the readiness should be taken bar, the top of
the object brought to the base and the base of the object brovent up to the top. The mean
of these two observations will be free of errors
Comtinue Answer No. 52

of Sun’s UL was 49°10.2’. If the IE was 3,2 off the arc and HE was 12,9 meters. Find
the latitude and position line
Answer no.64
- NN SMT Long 024°45’W = 20,2

D = 30° - 24°4’S = 6°1’S = 6° × 4 + 15’ × 4
= 24m + 60s

- ZE = SMT NM = 25m

UTC = ZE + ZN = 11.35 + 02.00

GHA corr = 24°32.3’

- Hc = arc sin (sin lat.sin dec + cos lat.cos dec.cos dec.cos LHA)
= arc sin (sin 20°15’.sin 20°51.2’ + cos 20°15’.cos 20°51.2’.cos 12.7)
= 86°41.5
HE = 49°10.2’
IE = -3.2’ –
49°07.0’
- HA = 49°07.0’
Corr = 16.6’
ht = 48°44.1’
Dh = ht – he
= 48°44.1’ - 89°21.9’
= 40°37.8’
- Lat NN = z + Dec
Z = 90° - ht
= 90° - 48°44.1’

- ANNEX IV : Prevention of oil by sewage from ship

This annex lays down regulations for sewage (which is also considered of pollutant),
discharged from ships into the maritime environment. The annex also contains
regulations regarding the form and issue of certificates the duration of certificates,
reseption facilities. Dimensions of the standard distance connections resqueed into the
sea is permitted only if:
 Sewage is comminuted and disinfected discharged more than 4 minute
 Sewage is not comminuted and disinfected discharged more than 12 NM from
the nearest land
 Instantanecus rate of discharge to be approve by the appropriate administration
 The ship is procedding en route at a speed of more than 4 knots
 The enfluent shall not produce visible floating solids in non cause disclaration, of
the surrounding water
- The ship has a holding tank fitted with standard discharge connection to enable pumping
out of sewage to store receiption facilities. Not with standing the fact that, this regulation
is not yet in force and currently being revised, some states prohibit the discharge of non
treated sewage into their hangows (E.G Grect Lakes).in such case either the ship must
have functional sewage treatment plant on board or has to temporaly more provision for
vitting of portable vaccum toilets on board, where the sewage is collected and later
loaded ashore for caspocal
