1. You are the Navigating Officer of BNS ABU BAKR on 08 May 2024 deployed on
Operation Treasure Shield, ship was patrolling in position Mongla Fairway Bouy
190°-6 nm at 0300 hrs, she was doing course 095°-10 Kn.
2. Considering tidal stream 2340-4 kn, What will be EP of your ship at 0400 hrs.
3. At 0500 hrs ship in position Lat 21° 17ˈ N Long 089° 56ˈ E, after fixing alter course
1000 speed 15 knot (Tide negligible).
(a) Show fix at 0500 hrs (with appropriate symbol).
5. At 0600 hrs gyro failed onboard ship (variation as per chart & deviation 20 W).
8. After fixing proceed to Chattogram outer anchorage for boarding of NAIO staff in
position Lat 22° 10.40 N Long 091° 40.00 E, with max speed (Tide negligible).
Expected boarding time 1300.
(a) Indicate time and dist of SANGU Gas Field when you pass her on your port
beam.
9. After boarding NAIO staff, at 1300 hrs you ordered to alter 1800 speed 12 kn.
10. At 1400 hrs following Radar observations were made:
Kutubdia North tip 9.5 miles, Kutubdia South tip 13.5 miles & Kutubdia light bears
1170.
11. At 1530 hrs, observation HSA Kutubdia Island (North tip) 070 0 Matarbari Island (West
tip), Cox’s Bazar Lt 0400.
(a) What will the beam dist from Elephant point at present course?
(b) CO wants to pass Elephant Point at 3 nm abeam to port. He asked you to alter
course accordingly. What alteration of course in necessary to pass the Elephant
Point at 3 nm?
15. At 1845 alter course to 1800. At 1930 hrs you observe St Martin’s Lt on brg 1200 &
2030 hrs same Lt bears 0800.
16. At 2100 hrs ship in position Lat 20° 33ˈ.00 N Long 092° 14ˈ.00 E. After fixing alter
course to 0900 & proceed towards St Martin’s anchorage.
(a) Show fix (with appropriate symbol).
During anchoring you are doing course 2900 speed 10 kn, Relative wind direction
observed from anemometer is green 30 at speed 7 kn.
