🔍 Key Concepts

• Anchor handling procedures when getting underway • Why anchor chain markings are used on deck • What information a mariner needs before securing the anchor after heaving up

💭 Think About

• When the anchor is coming up and about to be secured, what information do you most need to know about the chain itself? • Which option is directly related to knowing how much chain is out or has just been recovered, rather than maintenance or hardware checks? • Think about what you would report to the bridge as the anchor is aweigh and being secured.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is about situational awareness rather than equipment maintenance • Confirm which task is routinely done every time the anchor is hove up, not just periodically • Ask which option helps the officer on watch know how much chain is in use or has been used
