(Enacted 1986) Cap 313R Sched 5 SYLLABUS FOR PLEASURE VESSEL MASTER GRADE I [rules 4 & 6] The examination comprises a 1 hour 50 minutes written paper on Navigation and an oral examination on Seamanship, covering the following subjects- (A) Navigation (Written) 1. To express a position on a chart in terms of latitude and longitude or bearing and distance from a charted object. 2. Given the latitude and longitude, or bearing and distance from a charted object, to plot the position on a chart. 3. Given a table of deviations to convert true courses to compass courses and vice versa. 4. To find the compass course and distance between 2 positions, and, given the vessel's speed, to calculate the estimated time of arrival (E.T.A.). 5. Given compass courses steered and distances run, to work up the dead reckoning (D.R.) position by plotting on the chart. 6. Given compass course steered, the speed of the vessel and the direction and rate of the tidal stream or current, to find the course and speed made good over the ground (ground track angle). 7. To find the compass course to steer to make allowance for leeway and/or tidal stream or current so as to achieve a specified course made good. 8. Given compass course steered, distances run or speed of ship and time intervals, direction and rate of tidal stream or current and leeway allowance, to find the estimated position (E.P.) by plotting on a chart. 9. To fix the vessel's position on a chart by simultaneous cross bearings, bearings and ranges or by radio direction finder (D.F.) bearings. 10. To find the vessel's approximate position from a line of soundings. 11. Use of clearing lines and transits. 12. Full knowledge of important chart symbols. 13. Use of tide tables, tidal stream atlas and tidal information on charts for Hong Kong waters.(B) Seamanship (Oral) 1. A full knowledge of the International Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea and to demonstrate their application. Candidates will be considered to be in charge of vessels up to 20 metres in length. 2. Berthing alongside, and unberthing from jetties and piers making due allowance for the effect or wind and tide on large pleasure vessels, both single and twin screw. 3. Action to be taken in unusual circumstances such as stranding, collision, fire, etc. 4. Assisting a person or vessel in distress, including towing and beaching of a vessel. 5. (a) To identify the permanent marking on a liferaft as regards the number of persons to be carried. (b) To know the equipment in a liferaft required under the Merchant Shipping (Life Saving Appliances) Regulations (Cap 369 sub. leg.) and its correct use. (c) Method of launching a liferaft and the precautions to be taken before, during and after launching. (d) Boarding a liferaft from a vessel or the water. (e) Righting an inverted liferaft. (f) Survival procedures.6. Fire prevention and fire fighting, including maintenance of fire fighting equipment. 7. Precautions to be taken in fog or heavy weather. 8. Ability to recognize the alphabetical flags and numerical pennants of the International Code of Signals and to know the meaning of single letter hoists and multi-flag hoists in common use in Hong Kong. Note: The examiner may ask the candidate any questions arising out of his written work, or may ask questions based on the Grade II syllabus, if he deems it necessary on account of any weakness shown by the candidate. (Enacted 1986) Cap 313R Sched 6 SYLLABUS FOR PLEASURE VESSEL ENGINEER GRADE II [rules 4 & 6] There are 3 engine types-diesel, petrol and outboard. Candidates may elect to be examined on any or all of such engines. The examination comprises a written objective test paper or an oral examination. (L.N. 327 of 1989) Introduction The engineering knowledge to be shown by a candidate is that which is required for the identification, safe use and operation of the engine and associated systems and to recognize symptoms of malfunction. Candidates will be expected to have a grasp of the basic principles of operation and to be aware of general maintenance that should be carried out. Candidates will not be required to have detailed knowledge of maintenance or engineering principles beyond showing an understanding of how to rectify simple faults that might occur when the vessel is under way. |
