🔍 Key Concepts

• Shock loading on the towline when increasing speed • Maintaining a steady, controlled speed once the tow is in hand • Difference between bare steerageway and a practical safe speed for towing

💭 Think About

• Which action will minimize sudden strain on the towline and fittings when you first get underway? • After you have the tow under control, do you want to keep changing speed a lot, or hold a consistent, moderate speed? • Is there a practical reason you might need a bit more than bare steerageway when towing, especially in wind, current, or seas?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any choice that involves rapid acceleration or sudden power changes after connecting the tow • Check which option talks about both how you get up to speed and how you keep it during the tow • Ask whether "bare steerageway" is always realistic for maintaining control of both vessels in all conditions

Once a towline is connected between the towing vessel and the disabled vessel, the towing vessel should take which action?

Come up to speed quickly, then cut back power considerably to ease the strain

Take a strain as soon as you can to control the tow

Not exceed bare steerageway during the transit

Come up to speed very slowly and maintain a "safe speed"
