As a chief engineer, which of the following instructions would most appropriately be written into the chief engineer's night orders due to the non-routine nature of the special instruction?
• Difference between routine standing instructions and special non-routine instructions in night orders • Role of the OICEW (Officer in Charge of an Engineering Watch) under STCW for normal vs exceptional conditions • Which items describe ongoing expectations versus one-off / temporary situations
• For each option, ask yourself: Is this something that is true every watch, every day, or only during a specific, unusual situation? • Which option clearly refers to a temporary condition that will not exist once the situation is over? • Which instructions sound like permanent standing orders that belong in the general watchstanding instructions rather than in a one-night-only night order?
• Identify which choices describe continuous duties of the OICEW (these are usually standing orders, not night orders). • Identify which choice clearly involves a specific event and follow‑up action that ends once completed—this is more typical of a night order. • Check that the selected instruction reflects a non‑routine, special condition rather than a normal watchkeeping responsibility.
