🔍 Key Concepts

• Master and Pilot relationship during docking and undocking maneuvers • Role of the Officer of the Watch (OOW) when a pilot has the conn • Difference between executing orders and questioning or countermanding them

💭 Think About

• When a pilot is on board and has the conn, who is actually giving the helm and engine orders to the helmsman/engineer, and who checks they are carried out? • In a critical evolution like docking, should the watch officer be focused on paperwork/records, appearance/etiquette, or on the ship’s actual movements and orders? • Under what circumstances, if any, would the watch officer directly countermand a pilot’s orders, and is that their primary duty in normal operations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option best reflects active monitoring of conning orders during a maneuver • Eliminate options that focus mainly on administrative or ceremonial tasks during a high‑risk evolution like docking • Consider the normal chain of command: pilot advises, master commands — where does the watch officer fit in that structure?
