The maneuvering information required to be posted in the wheelhouse must be based on certain conditions. Which of the following is NOT one of these conditions?
• 46 CFR maneuvering information requirements for wheelhouse posting • Assumptions used when determining stopping distance and turning circles • The difference between environmental conditions and vessel condition when trials are run
• Think about which options describe conditions that affect how the ship physically performs during standard maneuvering trials. • Ask yourself: which of these conditions is usually a variable outside the ship that can change from place to place, instead of being a controlled trial condition? • Consider which conditions must be standardized so that different ships’ maneuvering data can be compared in a meaningful way.
• Check which trial conditions are specified in 46 CFR Part 164 (maneuvering information) or current equivalent regulations. • Verify which conditions are required to be as close to ideal and repeatable as possible when establishing maneuvering data. • Identify if any option describes a situation that is not typically standardized during sea trials for posted maneuvering information.
