    WHAT IS VARIATION AND DEVIATION?

    COMPASSAn instrument used to indicate heading of the ship and to obtain bearings. Two type ofcompasses:

    Gyro compass.Magnetic compass.

    COMPASS ERROR: The difference between in the direction indicated as north by the compassand the true north is compass error. In other words the difference between the compass northand the true north is the compass error.Compass error named East or West:Three methods determining compass error:Azimuth: true bearing of the heavenly body calculated at a given time in GMT.Amplitude: True bearing of the heavenly body calculated at a given time in GMT made whenbody is on the horizon, rising or setting.

    Transit: A bearing is one in which to conspicuous terrestrial object are in line, one in front of theother.Gyro compass: Advantages:Its reference point is true north.Can be connected to any amount of equipments which requires compass feeding.Disadvantages:Complicated mechanical device.requires constant power supply.Gyro compass error referred to high or low.

    MAGNETIC COMPASS:

    Advantages:No mechanical moving parts.Does not require electrical power.Effected by two errors: deviation and variation.By using transmitting magnetic compass(TMC). It is possible to feed magnetic compass to anynumber of equipment requires compass feeding.Method of steering(four methods):Automatic(auto pilot)Manual(by Helmsman)Remote steering (with extended cord)

    Emergency steering.

    CARE AND MA INTENANCE ON W IRES AND ROPES, BREAKING STRESS, AND HOW

    WOULD YOU KNOW WHEN TO RENEW THE SAME?

    Care Of Ropes1) Examine The Ropes For Chafing, Cutting And Internal Wear.2) Keep Away From Direct Sunlight, They Should Be Stored Under deck For Long Voyages ButIf Kept Outside They Should Be Kept Covered With Tarpaulins Or On Gratings.3) Ropes Should Never Be Stowed Away Wet To Prevent Rotting.4) They Should Be Free From Grease Oil stains And Paint Marks Etc.

    5) They Should Never Be Surged To Prevent Wear And Tare Due To Friction, Some RopesHave A Low Melting Point And Can Permanently Fuse And Get Damaged.6) Wire Ropes Should Be Regularly Lubricated With Patent Lubricants Such As Oily Fluid OrWire Grease.7) For A Wire Rope Care Should Be Taken While Breaking A New Coil As The Rope May GetKinked Or A Person May Get Injured Due To Faulty Handling.

    WHAT IS SQUAT & INTERACTION?

    Bodily sinkage of a vessel when underway and m/wMost noticeable in shallow water.ionIts value will vary proportionally to the square of the speed of the vessel.Forward draft increases and trim changes when m/w through water

    Steering becomes critical.Speed of the vessel has the strongest influence on the amount of squat.

    INTERACTION

    Interaction is the reaction of the ships hull to pressure exerted on its under water volume.Interaction occurs in following cases:Overtaking.Between two vessels on reciprocal courses.Between a bank and the vessel.Between vessels hull and seabed in shallow waters.In narrow channel- between a moored vessel and passing vessel.

    WHAT ARE LIMITATIONS OF RADAR?

    Limitations of radar techniques for the detection of small surface targets in clutter.

    WHAT ARE SPRING AND NEAP TIDE?

    SPRING TIDE: spring tide relatively large range and rate which occurs near the full moon andnew moon. It is strong tides. they occur when the earth the sun and the moon are in one line,once in conjunction and once in opposition, so then gravitational forces of the sun moon bothcontributes to the tides.NEAP TIDE: neap tides relatively small ran and rate. These are especially weak tides. Theyoccur when the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun are perpendicular to one anotherwith respect to the earth. Neap tides occur during quarter moons.

    WHAT IS IG AND WHY IS IT NECESSARY TO INERT TANKS?
