Question 1 of 2066636eee28f7522a1c51f5ec

While a vessel is underway in periodically unmanned engine room condition, No.2 SSDG is to be down for repairs for at least the next 24 hours. Since the vessel is nearing US navigable waters, as chief engineer you wish the bridge be immediately informed of the availability of No.2 SSDG to support the electrical power requirements of maneuvering. How would you best insure that the bridge be so informed?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Bridge–engine room communication requirements during critical navigation phases (arrival, departure, maneuvering) • How standing orders / night orders are used on ships, and who actually reads and follows them • Reliability of different methods for passing along safety‑critical information (written vs posted vs word of mouth)

💭 Think About

• Which method guarantees that the navigational watch officers on the bridge will definitely see the information in time for maneuvering? • Which choices depend on a single person remembering or noticing something, and which choices become part of the ship’s formal communication system? • If the engines are in periodically unmanned mode, what written instructions or logs are normally checked at the start of each bridge watch?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure the option you pick is aimed directly at informing the bridge watch, not just engineering staff. • Check which method would be part of a standard, formal routine that every new watchkeeper must review. • Verify which choices could easily be overlooked or forgotten (e.g., notes on doors, panels, or relying on word‑of‑mouth).
