You are on watch at anchor awaiting berthing orders. Which statement is TRUE?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Anchor watch procedures and what must be monitored continuously • Use and purpose of navigation lights at anchor vs underway • Difference between being at anchor and alongside/berthed with lines out

💭 Think About

• When a vessel is at anchor, what is the main risk you are watching for, and what action best reduces that risk? • Which options describe actions that only make sense when the vessel is underway or tied up, rather than actually at anchor? • Think about what you, as the officer on watch, must repeatedly verify to ensure the ship stays safely in position.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice directly relates to continuously knowing where your ship is. • Check which options describe things you would typically do only after the ship is alongside with mooring lines. • Verify which statements match standard anchor watch duties taught in bridge resource management and seamanship manuals.
