Determine risk of collision

Assessed in: MT-4253 Watchkeeping using Full-Mission Bridge Simulator

Condition

On a ship underway, a full mission ship simulator, or using approved laboratory equipment, and using a gyro-compass repeater and an azimuth circle, bearing circle, alidade, or other device for taking bearings, and a marine radar or ARPA meeting IMO performance standards set on the 12 mile scale and the targets more than 8 miles away.

Behavior

Determine if risk of collision exists with approaching meeting, crossing and overtaking vessels.

Standard

  1. Two visual bearings of an approaching vessel are taken using an azimuth circle, bearing circle or alidade to determine if the bearing to the approaching vessels is appreciably changing..
  2. Two electronic bearings of an approaching vessel are taken on a radar or an ARPA to determine if the bearing to the approaching vessels are appreciably changing.
  3. Correctly determines if risk of collision exists.
