contract of carriage and may prejudice Club cover．Assertions are sometimes made by cargo interests that rust on a particular shipment is normal and will not affect its market value．Such comments should be disregarded．In all cases where a steel cargo is found to be rusty，it is imperative that remarks are made on the bills of lading，irrespective of the apparent severity of the rust．The bills of lading should also be claused to reflect any physical pre-shipment damage to the steel and/or wrappers（bends，tears，crimps，dents，deformation，crushing）．Selecting the most appropriate clauses to describe pre-shipment damage is not always easy，and the attending surveyor should be consulted for advice．Where possible，the clausing should list the identification marks of the damaged GOODs，failing which the number of coils or packages should be quantified．Percentage estimates regarding the number of damaged pieces should not be given．If it is not possible to identify the damaged GOODs specifically，the words“some”or“several”may be acceptable．Any differences found between the ship and shore tally or ship and bill of lading figures must be noted on the bill of lading in the usual manner．1)The clausing on B/L is to reflect and make notation of ________ the cargoes and/or their wrappers．A．all damages incurred during the carriage by sea toB．all possible damages to and/or losses ofC．physical pre-shipment damages toD．pre-shipment damages to2) The pre-shipment rusts for which there are assertions made by cargo interests that they are normal and would not affect the cargo's market value shall ________．A．be claused on the Bill of LadingB．not be claused on the Bill of LadingC．be disregardedD．not be disregarded3) The proper topic of this paragraph is ________．A．The Principles for Clausing on Bills of LadingB．Losses of and Damages to Steel CargoesC．Legal Actions to Be Taken When Losses of and Damages to Cargoes Incurred D．The Functions of Clauses Made on Bills of Lading4) This paragraph is most likely compiled to protect the interests of ________．A．the carriersB．the shippersC．the merchantsD．the cargo owners2、MV Magellan was inbound from Rotterdam to berth 207at Southampton Container Terminal．At 0530the pilot boarded the ship at the Nab Tower pilot station．The pilot's and the master's passage plans were exchanged and the ship's pilot card was given to the pilot．The passage continued along the East Solent，during which time there were various VHF radio conversations between vessels and Southampton VTS，about restricted visibility．The VTS officer gave the pilot a countdown from 5 to 2 cables to the Gurnard buoy．This was given so that the pilot could judge the timing of the wheel-over manoeuvre for the 141° turn into the narrow Thorn Channel．The wheel-over occurred at about 0652 and the ship began to turn．At this time，the W Bramble and NE Gurnard buoys，which are at the entrance to Thorn Channel，could not be seen because of restricted visibility．Various helm and engine movements were made during the turn．However，when W Bramble and NE Gurnard buoys appeared，the pilot realized that the ship was in the wrong position for the heading she was on．Despite further helm and engine orders，the vessel grounded soon after，at 0700．It was not until about 0710 that the escort harbor launch informed VTS of the grounding．With the assistance of two tugs，the ship was refloated near the time of high water，and she safely berthed at 1232．1）MV Magellan applied wheel at ________ to turn into the narrow Thorn Channel．A．0530B．0652C．0700D．07102）The important navigational mark or marks at the entrance to the Thorn Channel is （are）________．A．Southampton Container TerminalB．the East SolentC．the Nab TowerD．the W Bramble and NE Gurnard buoys3）The suggestion of a countdown from 5to 2cables to the Gurnard buoy is ________．A．for the pilot to judge easily when the wheel should be used to make the turn into the narrow Thorn ChannelB．to remind the pilot that the depth around there is not sufficient for MV Magellan C．to inform the pilot that the visibility around the buoy is reduced furtherD．to request the pilot that further consideration should be given to the wheel-over manoeuvre for the 141° turn4）It can be concluded that the cause of the grounding was that ________．A．the Bramble and NE Gurnard buoys were disappearedB．the VHF radio conversations between vessels and Southampton VTS，about restricted visibility，were insufficient and improperC．Thorn Channel was too narrowD．there was an error of judgment by the pilot during the execution of the turn into Thorn Channel3、The endorsement of a nonnegotiable bill does not make the bill negotiable or give the transferee any additional right．A person to whom a nonnegotiable bill has been transferred by delivery and agreement to transfer title to the bill or to the GOODs which it represents acquires the title to the GOODs as against the transferor．The transferee may also notify the carrier of the transfer to him，and the carrier is then obligated directly to the transferee for any obligations the carrier owed to the transferor immediately before the notification．More specifically，the carrier is liable to the owner of GOODs transported under a nonnegotiable bill，subject to the right of stoppage in transit．Besides having to be the owner of the GOODs covered by the nonnegotiable bill，the claimant in such a case must have actually relied in GOOD faith on statements made by the carrier on the bill．The carrier is liable for having stated on the bill that he received GOODs when in fact he had not，and for having delivered the GOODs in a quantity，kind，weight or condition other than as stated on the bill．In general，the carrier must deliver the GOODs on demand of the consignee named in a nonnegotiable bill of lading．However，on the endorsement of a nonnegotiable bill，the GOODs may be delivered to a party entitled to their possession．The carrier is liable toward the person having title to，or a right to possession of，the GOODs for delivering them to a party not entitled to their possession．1）The endorsement of a nonnegotiable bill transfers ________．A．the title to the GOODs from the transferor to the transfereeB．the title to the GOODs from the transferee to the transferorC．in no way the title to the GOODs from the transferor to the transfereeD．the GOODs to the party entitled to their possession2）The transferee of a nonnegotiable bill acquires the title to the GOODs ________．A．by taking delivery of the bill and entering into an agreement to transfer title to the bill or to the GOODsB．by having the carrier actually delivered the GOODs to himC．by having the transferor endorsed the nonnegotiable billD．in no way3）In the event of a nonnegotiable bill has been actually transferred，if the carrier stated on the bill that he received GOODs when in fact he had not，________ is liable．A．heB．the transferorC．the transfereeD．the person having title to，or a right to possession of，the GOODs4）If the GOODs were thus transferred，and the carrier delivered the GOODs in a quantity，kind，weight or condition other than as stated on the bill，________．A．he is liableB．he is not liableC．it can not be determined whether he is liable or notD．whether he is liable or not is to be determined by the law of the ship‟s flag4、1620070900 LTMASTER

board RFA Argus was loaded beyond its safe working load of 18.4 tonnes．There were no injuries to any personnel，or material damage to the ship or its equipment．During a planned stay in port，500compressed CO2cylinders were required to be landed．These were normally stowed on a lower deck and needed to be transferred to the weather deck before being taken ashore．Before the vessel's arrival in port，the planned operation was discussed between various officers and senior ratings，one of whom was to supervise final discharge of the cylinders from the ship．Once in port，a senior rating gave instructions to three juniors to transfer a number of cylinders to the weather deck．He then left them alone to load the cylinders onto the platform of an aircraft lift．The cylinders weighed 19.95 tonnes，which was greater than they had been instructed to load．In addition to this excess weight they added a fork lift truck weighing 5.5 tonnes．The lift was then raised．When it reached the weather deck，the lift was unable to stow at the correct level．When investigated it was discovered that the load of both CO2 bottles and the fork lift truck was greater than its safe working load（SWL）and this had prevented the locking cleats at the flight deck（weather deck）engaging．The lift was taken out of service for testing and inspection．1）The safe working load of the aircraft lift is ________ tonnes．A．18.4B．19.95C．5.5D．5002）The aircraft lift was overloaded by a weight which is ________ more than its SWL A．1.55B．3.95C．5.5D．7.053）It was the ________ that had prevented the locking cleats at the flight deck （weather deck）engaging．A．fork liftbottlesB．CO2C．overloaded weightD．the three juniors4）It is implied in the passage that ________．A．the lift should be raised slowly to avoid the accidentB．the aircraft lift on board RFA Argus should be driven by super powerC．the senior rating should give instructions in more detail to the three juniors to transfer a number of cylinders to the weather deckD．if the unloading operation was supervised by an officer who has sufficient experience of the loads，lifting equipment and the overall operation，the accident would had been avoided7、Coastal conditionsThe area described in the volume presents the mariner with a generally adverse combination of navigational factors which are outline below．Local Topography．The Dover Strait is shallow and only is 18miles wide at its narrowest point．Passage through the strait is further constricted by a series of narrow banks，running NE-SW．The seabed is also littered with wrecks．Natural Conditions．There are strong tidal streams in the strait．Sea level may differ from that predicted and in particular may be lower than expected due to negative tidal surges．The area is also subject to gales and poor visibility．Risk of Collision．There is a high risk of collision caused by the density of vessel traffic on passage through the strait，including deep-draught vessels，and crossing traffic，including ferries and high speed craft．Mine danger areaThere are two areas off the N coast of France，which remain dangerous because of mines lied in the war of 1939-1945．Due to the lapse of time the risk to surface navigation is now considered to be no more dangerous than that the ordinary risks of navigation but a very real risk still exists with regard to anchoring，fishing or any form submarine or seabed activity．1）The crossing traffic in the Dover Strait is probably running ________．A．NE-SWB．SE-NWC．N-SD．E-W2）According to the passage，the risk of collision in the Dover Strait is caused by ________．A．gales and poor visibilityB．a series of narrow banksC．the density of vessel traffic on passage through the strait and crossing trafficD．a generally adverse combination of navigational factors3）It is inferred that ________．A．although the tidal streams in Dover Strait is strong，there were few ships sunk in it B．most of the wrecks in Dover Strait were deep-draught vessels，ferries and high speed craftC．the wrecks are not dangers to surface navigationD．there were many ships sunk in Dover Strait4）It is implied in the passage that ________．A．mine is not a danger to surface navigation in Dover StraitB．the width of Dover Strait is not so narrowC．the natural conditions in Dover Strait are too serousD．collision with deep-draught vessels or ferries or high speed craft in Dover Strait is hardly avoidable8、The contract of carriage of GOODs by sea is usually concluded as between theshipper and the carrier，either directly or through their respective agents．Consequently，by virtue of the historic principle of privity of contract，only the shipper and the carrier have the right to take action against one another under the contract of carriage．The only clear exception to the rule was where the party having the right to sue assigned that right under a separate agreement to another party．On the other hand，when GOODs are sold（as they typically are）prior to shipment，the terms of sale generally resultin the risk in the GOODs passing from the seller（the shipper）to the buyer（the consignee or endorsee，in the case of a bill of lading，or the party entitled to take delivery under a waybill）when the GOODs cross the ship's rail in the port of loading．Therefore，although the law recognizes that the shipper alone has the right to sue the carrier in contract for subsequent cargo loss or damage occurring while the carrier had charge of the shipment，the shipper is not usually the party who actually suffers that loss．Frequently，also，depending on the terms of sale，the shipper will no longer be the owner of the GOODs at the time when the loss or damage occurs，and so will be unable to sue the carrier in tort．1）The contract of carriage of GOODs by sea is usually concluded as between ________．A．the seller and the buyerB．the shipper and the consignee or endorseeC．the carrier and the consignee or endorseeD．the shipper and the carrier2）When GOODs are sold prior to shipment the risk in the GOODs passes ________．A．from the shipper to the carrierB．from the seller to the buyerC．from the carrier to the shipperD．from the buyer to the seller3）It is concluded ________ that only the shipper and the carrier have the right to take action against one another under the contract of carriage．A．by maritime lawsB．by a mainstay of the common law in particularC．by virtue of the historic principle of privity of contractD．by shipping practice4）When GOODs are sold prior to shipment the shipper ________．A．is not usually the party who actually suffers the subsequent lossB．is usually the party who actually suffers the subsequent lossC．will still be the owner of the GOODs at the time when the loss or damage occurs D．will be responsible for the loss of or damage to the cargo he shipped9、The 4，426gt Swedish vessel Skagern sailed for her next port，Strood，with a draught of 5.95m．The master soon realized，however，that he would not make the tide for berthing if he proceeded to the Medway as planned，to pick up the pilot at the North East Spit．He therefore decided to change the passage plan by shortening the distance and embarking his pilot at the Sunk light vessel．The officer on watch，2/O，was told to make the necessary adjustments and lay off the new courses．The 2/O made the original plan based on waypoints calculated and entered by another officer．These had been marked on the various charts and had already been entered into the GPS navigator．When he amended the passage plan he used the GPS to calculate a new course from a waypoint off Lowestoft direct to the Sunk pilot station．In doing so，he didn't realize he had missed out a pre-programmed waypoint in the GPS for a position to the east of the East Shipwash buoy．He didn't notice that his course line intersected the 5m depth contour to the west of the East Shipwash buoy．The master did not check the amended passage plan and Skagern continued with her passage．2/O came on watch again four hours before the vessel was due to arrive at the pilot station．One hour before arrival at the Sunk 2/O prepared to embark the pilot．He saw the North Shipwash buoy and passed about three cables to the east of it．Shortly afterwards he saw two more buoys ahead of him，the East Shipwash on his port bow and the North-West Shipwash on his starboard．It did not occur to him that anything might be wrong．Shortly afterwards，Skagern ran aground at a full speed of 14 knots．He had found the Shipwash Bank．Although two tugs were dispatched from Harwich to standby，the master was able to de-ballast his vessel and refloat her successfully with the aid of the main engine．There was no pollution and there appeared to be no damage．1）To embark the pilot earlier Skagern ________．A．speeded upB．shortened the distance by adjusting the planned passageC．made the tideD．engaged trade every two weeks2）The grounding was caused by the reason of ________．A．the second officer missed a waypoint when steaming to the pilot stationB．the depth around the pilot station is 5.95m which is not sufficient to allow the vessel to keep always afloatC．the GPS had something wrong when calculating the courseD．the vessel did not make the tide due to her late arrival3）The vessel was refloated ________．A．with the aid of reverting her main engine and pressing up slack ballast tanks B．herself by pumping out some of her ballast and the aid of her main engine C．with the aid of her main engine and the two tugs from HarwichD．with the aid of tide and tugs4）The lessen of this accident is that ________．A．without proper planning of the ballasting and de-ballasting programme the vessel is likely to be involved in such accident as groundingB．a vessel should be well prepared for grounding when proceeding toward pilot stationC．when grounded，a vessel should try to contact the nearest coast station to apply for the aid of tugsD．in this age of the GPS and push-button navigation，it is all too easy to be lulled into a false sense of security and assume the position indicated is correct10、The Company should establish a safety and environmental protection policy which describes how the objectives will be achieved．The Company should ensure that the policy is implemented and maintained at all levels of the organization both ship based as well as shore based．If the entity who is responsible for the operation of the ship is other than the owner，the owner must report the full name and details of such entity to the Administration．The Company should define and document the responsibility，authority and interrelation of all personnel who manage，perform and verify work relating to and affecting safety and pollution prevention．The Company is responsible for ensuring that adequate resources and shore based support are provided to enable the designated person or persons to carry out their functions．To ensure the safe operation of each ship and to provide a link between the company and those on board，every company，as appropriate，should designate a person or persons ashore having direct access to the highest level of management．The responsibility and authority of the designated person or persons should include monitoring the safety and pollution prevention aspects of the operation of each ship and to ensure that adequate resources and shore based support are applied，as required．The Company should clearly define and document the master's responsibility with regard to：implementing the safety and environmental protection policy of the Company；motivating the crew in the observation of that policy；issuing appropriate orders and instructions in a clear and simple manner；verifying that specified requirements are observed；and reviewing the SMS and reporting its deficiencies to the shore based management．The Company should ensure that the SMS operating on board the ship contains a clear statement emphasizing the Master's authority．The Company should establish in the SMS that the master has the overriding authority and the responsibility to make decisions with respect to safety and pollution prevention and to request the Company's assistance as may be necessary．1）The Company should ensure that the policy is implemented and maintained at all levels of the organization both ship based as well as shore based．The ORGANIZATION refers to ________．A．IMOB．SMSC．the AdministrationD．the construction of the Company2）The overriding authority and the responsibility to make decisions with respect to safety and pollution prevention is on the part of ________．A．the highest level of management of the CompanyB．DPC．the master of the shipD．the owner or the entity who is responsible for the operation of the ship3）________ are/is not the master's responsibility defined and documented by the Company．A．reviewing the SMS and reporting its deficiencies to the shore based management B．motivating the crew in the observation of the safety and environmental protection policy of the CompanyC．issuing appropriate orders and instructions in a clear and simple manner and verifying that specified requirements are observedD．providing a link between the company and those on board4）This passage is probably extracted from ________．A．IMDG Code B．ISM CodeC．SOLAS D．Marpol11、The tug Vegesack was towing a barge engaged in“stone-fishing”in the vicinity of the Beach End buoy in Harwich Channel．Tug and tow were part of a dredging programme．During the dredging contract，the practice was for the dredging craft，Vegesack，to nominate the passing side for vessels．The barge was difficult to control in tidal and traffic conditions，and the master needed to exercise considerable skill and anticipation，as well as having to liaise closely with VTS and passing vessels．The German master had been issued with a pilotage exemption certificate and had been operating in the channel for nearly two months before the incident．The ferry Dana Anglia was outbound from Harwich in daylight and GOOD visibility．When she was close to North Shelf buoy，VTS called Vegesack and agreed that Vegesack，who was in the middle of the channel，would move to the north side．This would enable both Dana Anglia and Bencomo，an inbound vessel currently passing No5 buoy，to pass to the south．VTS gave this passing information to the two vessels．While passing Platters buoy，Bencomo called Vegesack，requesting her to move to the north．Vegesack said she was going to move to the Harwich（or south）side，and instructed Bencomo to pass to the north．VTS then intervened and confirmed with Vegesack that she wanted both vessels to pass to the north．At this time，Dana Anglia was approaching North West Beach buoy and could see Vegesack heading south，in。

These are employed on regular routes on a fixed timetable. A list of their arrival and departure dates is published in advance and they sail whether full or not. Liners can be classed as either deep-sea 远洋 liners or short-sea liners 近海. The former carry mainly containerized cargo across the oceans of the world; the later carry containerized or conventional cargo on shorter routes. Ferries 渡船 are also classed as liners. These offer a daily or weekly service for passengers and vehicles across channels and narrow seas. A few ships are still employed as passenger liners. They not only carry passengers but also some cargo on routes from Europe to North America and to the Far East. Nowadays the passenger trade is very small and passenger liners usually operate as cruise ships 游轮 for part of the year. 商船设计得能运载货物。

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 Book"When a pilot is required most ports now require due notice of the vessel's ETA to be sent in by radio. However, this does not relieve the ship's 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.

All above are wrong010. The "G.R.T." refers to ________ .A. Gross Register TonnageB. Gross Registered TonnageC. Gross TonnageD. Gross River Tonnage011. GMDSS applies to ________ .A. all ships of 300 G.R.T. and over 300 G.R.T.B. all passenger shipsC. all ships on international routeD. all above are correct012. The full name of GMDSS is ________ .A. Global Maritime Distress Satellite SystemB. Global Maritime Distress and Safety SystemC. Global Marine Distress Satellite SystemD. Global Marine Distress and Safety SystemPassage 3-04The axial thrust of the propeller is the force working in a fore and aft direction. 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 ship's 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 thrustB. transverse thrustC. the transverse effect of the propeller blades at the top near the surface ofthe waterD. the transverse effect of the lower blades of the propeller near the bottomof the water014.A left-handed propellers，when the ship is going ahead，will cant ship's stern to________.A. starboardB. portC. to move aheadD. move astern015.The transverse thrust of the propeller is stronger when the ship is________.A. going a sternB. going aheadC. stoppedD. making no way through the water016.The transverse thrust of the propeller can mainly be overcome by ________.A. the rudderB. the propeller itselfC. the nautical instrumentD. 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 seamanB. BosunC. Able seamanD. Carpenter 018.What was used for indication the ship's course in traditional navigation________ .A. Adegrees on the full scale of 0-360B. 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. degreesB. pointsC. centigradeD. Beaufort scalePassage 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 user's 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 user's 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 _______.A. during transmissionB. in the display or printing on the user's equipmentC. in converting to other software formatsD. in air mail delivery to the readers022.The use of the data is advised to consult _______ for further details.A.

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. making changesB. the introduction of an antigenic substance into the body against a specificdiseaseC. The act of introducing something new.D. revolution026.Containers are sealed after being packed with cargoes.A. filledB. loadedC. stuffedD. closed officially or under the supervision of notary public027.Of the following，________ is not the feature of the container ship?A. Some of the containers are usually stowed on deck.B. It is easy for handling and quick turnover of the cargoC. The container ship is becoming increasingly saferD. Cargoes are pre-packed into the container028.The tonnage of container ship is ________.A. decreasingB. increasingC. remaining the sameD. 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 ________.A. navigational aids are sometimes indispensable.B. there are always some mistakesC. wrecks may appear or be removedD. they could never be reprinted030.Correction to charts are made by crew members in accordance with ________.A. Notices to MarinersB. Sailing DirectionsC. Guide to Port EntryD. Supplement031.In the passage，Blocks are ________.A. large scale chartsB. representations of chartsC. reproductions of portions of chartsD. small scale charts032.The purpose of correction to charts is to ________.A. keep them up-to-dateB. make the charts brand-newC. keep the charts available to all mariners in the worldD. keep the charts free from mistakesPassage 3-09Corrections to Sailing Directions are given in Section Ⅳ. 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 Ⅳ 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.A. The Sailing DirectionsB. The corrections to Sailing DirectionsC. The effective corrections to Notices to MarinersD. The Weekly Edition034.The parent book is ________.A. The Sailing DirectionB.

All of those Cautionary Notes give the mariner facilities to ensure safe navigation，such as to avoid running aground in shallow waters and making damages to nearby fishing gears，and to keep off any hazards in areas where submarine frequently exercises. Furthermore，they are of good help to mariners，as to the reliability of the navigational aids especially in congested waters or narrow channels，to prevent any possible accidents.045.What is the main topic of this passage? ________.A. Regulations of the harborB. Details in the Sailing DirectionsC. Rules of the terminalD. Description on Admiralty Charts046.According to the passage，you must pay attention to ________ while using a chart.A. Cautions，Warnings and NotesB. Reports，Symbols and ChartsC.

Damages，hazards and injuries047.Cautionary Notes are helpful for mariners ________.A. to run aground in shallow watersB. to make damages to nearby fishing gearsC. to keep off hazards in areas where submarine exercisesD. to keep the reliability of the aids to navigation in congested waters or narrowchannels048.Cautions，Warnings，Notes，etc. are likely inserted in some parts of a chart where ________.A. submarine frequently exercisesB. there are fishing gearsC. the waters is congested and the channels are narrowD. the spaces are rather blank and there are no symbols of any kindPassage 3-13Logbooks required by law，to be filled out by masters or officers on duty of every ship，the forms of which must be proved by the shipping companies or marine authorities.Logbooks are used to record the events occurring during the ship's stay in a harbor，at anchorage，or underway，and they are also requested to produce evidences in case officials inquire about accidents.On completion of the voyage the logbook must be submitted to the superintendent of the owner or the marine authorities for justification，checking or approval. Therefore，everything recorded in the logbook must be true and accurate.When a misentry has been made in the log，a red line would be drawn on those parts. The correct entry with signature should be made near or above them. No erasures or cuts are to be allowed.049.The best title for the passage is " ________ "A. The forms of logbooksB. The use of logbooksC. Characteristics of logbooksD. How to check logbooks050.When a misentry has been made in the log，________.A. erasures or cuts are to be allowed.B. it is to be corrected out by masters or officers on duty of every shipC. it is to be produced in case officials inquire about accidents.D. a red line would be drawn on those parts，with correct entry with signaturebeing made near or above them.051.The forms of logbooks must be proved by ________.A. officials who inquire about accidents.B. the shipping companies or marine authorities.C. masters or officers on duty.D. the superintendent of the owner.052.The logbook must be submitted ________ to the superintendent of the owner or the marine authorities for justification，checking or approval.A. on completion of the voyageB. in a harborC. at anchorageD. underwayPassage 3-14For navigation，radar is of incredible value. It provides the navigator with his position，his distance from ships or obstructions nearby and other accurate information to prevent collision and ensure the safety of the ship. Radar can display all objects within its working range clearly，either in clear weather or in thick fog. In addition，if the radar information is correctly interpreted，the navigator can easily work out the speed and direction of an approaching object and take proper measures to keep his ship from any danger.Shore-based radar also plays an important role in shipping. If ship's radar is in trouble，the radar observer at the stations will use VHF radio to alert them to other traffic in the vicinity as well as to advise their position. Up to now，many radar surveillance systems have been installed in most large seaports. They are intended to smooth and control the flow of traffic to and from the harbor.053.For navigation，the radar is ________.A. of no valueB. very importantC. so expensive that people don't know how much it isD. valueless054.Which of the following statements about radar's function for marine purposes is incorrect? ________.A. It provides the navigator the ship's positionB. It provides information to protect ships from collisionC. It displays all the objects at sea clearlyD. It displays the observer's distance from ships and obstructions nearby 055.If the ship's radar is in trouble，the shore-based radar ________.A. may provide the ship of her positionB. should be installed with surveillance systemsC. shall advise the ship to use VHFD. will be put into use immediately056.Radar surveillance systems ________.A. may provide all ships of their technical conditionsB. should be installed with VHFC. shall be correctly interpreted，D. are intended to smooth and control the flow of traffic to and from the harbor.Passage 3-15Communications over relatively short distances can be made by visual or sound signals. Visual signals can be sent by using flags or an Aldis lamp. An Aldis lamp is an electric lamp used for flashing messages in Morse code. The traditional method of signaling from one ship to another is by using flags. There are different colored flags for each letter of the alphabet. There are also pennant-shaped flags for numbers，and a long pennant，known as an answering or code pennant. Three other flags，which are burgee-shaped，are known as substitutes. These show that the flat or pennantis being repeated. Besides standing for a letter of the alphabet，each flag，when hoisted along，has another meaning. For example，the "W" flag also means: "I require medical assistance". Flags can also be hoisted in combinations of two，three or four. Siren，whistle，bell or other sound signals can be used in fog and similar circumstances when visual signals can not be seen.munications over relatively short distances may be made by ________.A. visual signalsB. sound signalsC. Morse CodeD. Either visual or sound signals058.An Aldis lamp is used for ________.A. transmitting Morse codeB. flashing flagsC. sending flag signalsD. sending sound signals059.Burgee-shaped flags are used as substitutes to show ________.A. "repeating"B. "answering"C. "code" pennantD. "I requiring medical assistance"060.________ are used in fog and similar circumstances when visual signals can not be seen.A. Visual signalsB. SubstitutesC. Pennant-shaped flagsD. The ship's siren，whistle or bellPassage 3-16When the senders of goods have large shipment to make，and especially when bulk cargo is concerned，it is advisable that they have some ships at their disposal. Some of the big companies set up a fleet of their own，but the rest may find it more profitable to hire instead of building or buying ships. This is called "chartering". The chartering of the ship is usually done through the intermediary of brokers，who，when hired，will go through all the necessary formalities on behalf of the charterer. In London there is a special center "the Baltic Exchange"，where the brokers operate in much the same way as stock and share brokers on a stock exchange. But it is easy for home shippers to hire Chinese or foreign ships through China National Chartering Corporation，which takes care of chartering business on orders from various import and export corporations.061.When large shipment is concerned，________ is not the way for the sender to have ships at their disposal.A. to charter shipsB. to build shipsC. to buy shipsD. to scrape ships062.In chartering all the necessary formalities are performed through ________.A. the intermediary of agentsB. the intermediary of brokersC. the charterersD. the "Baltic Exchange"063.The function of "the Baltic Exchange" is ________.A. to deal with stocksB. to exchange cargoesC. to operate on sharesD. to charter ships064.China National Chartering Corporation takes care of chartering business for home shippers. "To take care of " means ________.A. to pay attention toB. to be concerned withC. to be liable forD. to take charge ofPassage 3-17A tropical storm is not so extensive as the depression of higher latitudes but，within 75 miles or so of the center，the wind is often far more violent，and the high and confused seas near the center may cause considerable damage to large and well-found ships，while small vessels (for example，destroyers) have foundered. The danger is still greater when ships are caught in restricted waters without adequate room to maneuver. Within 5 to 10 miles of the center the wind is light or moderate and variable，the sky is clear or partially so，and there is a heavy，sometimes mountainous，confused swell. This area is known as the "eye" of the storm. After passing through the relatively windless center of the storm the wind will suddenly，and with great violence，commence to blow from a direction opposite to that experienced on the other side of the windless center. Due to torrential rain visibility near the storm center is almost nil.065.Within ________ of a tropical storm center，the wind is violent.A. no more than 75 milesB. not more than 75 milesC. 75 miles or a greater distanceD. about 75 miles066.Among the following，________ one may not be found in the "eye" of the storm?A. The visibility is moderate or goodB. The wind is light or moderateC. The sky is clear or partly cloudyD. The swell is low or moderate.067.In the passage，"a well-found ship " means ________.A. a ship has been found in any placeB. a ship has been found in good visibilityC. a ship with all the necessary equipment properly maintainedD. a ship in huge size068.The visibility near tropical storm center is ________.A. Very poorB. PoorC. ModerateD. GoodPassage 3-18By turning the GAIN control clockwise，the gain of the receiver increases and the observing range of the target expands.

One type carries dry cargo，the other carries liquid cargo; however，an OBO ship is designed to carry both. A traditional dry cargo ship is the multi-deck vessel. Her holds are divided horizontally by one or two 'tween decks，because these make stowage of individual packages easier. Dry bulk cargo is carried in bulk carriers. These do not have 'tween decks ascargo is carried loose. The most modern type of dry cargo carrier is the container ship. They carry containers of standard dimensions，consequently stowage is easier. Fruit，meat and dairy produce are carried in refrigerated冷冻ships. Oil tankers are the most common type of liquid cargo carrier. They are often very large，because huge quantities of oil need to be transported and one large vessel is more economical经济的to operate than two smaller ones. Two other types of liquid bulk carrier of growing importance are the liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier and the chemical carrier，although chemical can also be carried in drums in general cargo ships.货船可分为两种基本类型。
