Q

What is required to be posted in the pilothouse of a vessel?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for posting information on the bridge/pilothouse • What information the master and watch officers need immediately available for safe navigation and shiphandling • Difference between certificates that must be carried on board vs. items that must be posted

💭 Think About

• Which of these four items would directly help the officer on watch handle the vessel safely in an emergency or close-quarters situation? • Which documents are normally kept in the captain’s office or file cabinet rather than physically posted in the wheelhouse? • Think about what the regulations want the watch officer to be able to see at a glance without leaving the bridge.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which item is specifically tied to shiphandling and stopping/turning behavior of the vessel • Eliminate any answers that are mainly administrative or paperwork rather than operational safety tools • Recall that some certificates must be on board but not necessarily posted in the pilothouse
