Find the compass error and position of the vessel. From this position find a compass course do
steer to pass Hammerodde lighthouse 55O 18’N, 014O 47’E 2 miles off counteracting a current
060O x 2 knots and a strong northerly wind causing 5O leeway. (30)

Q.4 While steering a course of 228O(T) Olands Sodra Grund Racon light (56O 04’N 016O 42’E) was
last sighted at 2100 hrs, when visibility was 5M only. At 2200 hrs, Utklippan Lt. (55 O 57’N, 015O
41’E) was first sighted, visibility remaining the same. Current was known to be setting 013 O(T) at
2.5 knots throughout. Find the vessel’s position at 2100 hrs and 2200 hrs and also the time and
position when Utklippan light will be last sighted.

Q.2 A vessel steering 185O(T) observed following bearings of Christianso South Lt. Ho. (55O 19’N 015O 11’E):
1900 hrs: 222O(T), 1925 hrs: 260O(T) and 2015: 321O(T). If current was estimated to set 125O(T) x 2 kts, find
CMG, engine speed and position at 1900 hrs and 2015 hrs.

Q.3 a) At 1300 hrs Utklippan Lt. Ho (55O 57’N 015O 44’E was bearing 031O(T) and distance by radar 5 NM. From
1300 hrs find true course to steer to pass Hammeroddde Lt. ho (55O 18’N 015O03’E) by 4 NM on port side.
Current was estimated to set 095O(T) X 3 kts, wind E’ly X leeway 4O. Ship’s Engine speed 14 Kts.
b) If vessel continued as per part (a) find time, and true bearing when Hammerodde Lt. Ho will be raised.

Q.4 On a vessel at anchor following gyro bearings were observed at 2330 hrs:-
i) Hano ls Major Lt. (56O 01’N 014O 50’E) 250O(G)
ii) Tarno ls Lt. Ho. (56O 08’N 014O 58’E) 315O(G) and
iii) Gasefetan Lt. (56O 09’N, 015O 13’E) 0

Q.2 At 0800 hrs a vessel was equidistant from Hammerodde (55O 18’ N, 014O 47’ E) and Christianso Lt (55O
19.3’ N, 015O 11.5’E) houses. She was steering a course 325O(T) at 12 kts, current was estimated to set SW’ly
at 2 kts. At 09300 hrs Stensuvud Lt Ho bore 300O(T). Find the position of the vessel at 0800 hrs and 0930 hrs.

2100 hrs, when visibility was 5 n.m. At 2200 hrs Utklippan Lt (55 O 57’ N, 015O 41’ E) was first sighted, visibility
remaining same. Current was known to be setting 013O(T) at 2.5 kts throughout. Find the vessel’s position at
2100 hrs and 2200 hrs. Also find time and position when Utklippan light will be last sighted, if visibility remain
same. Eng. spd – 12 kts, HE 12m.

Q.4 At 2000 hrs, a vessel drops pilot at Simrishamn Pilot Station (55O 33.5’ N, 014O 24’E) and steers a course of
071O(T) at 9 kts with Meteorological visibility being 5 n.m. Master decides to alter course when Simrishamn Lt
(Iso WRG 6s) is last seen. After altering course she is to pass Hano Lt (56O 01’ N, 014O 51’E) 3 n.m. on her port
side. If current was setting 120O(T) at 2 kts, find the time and position when (i) Vessel alters course towards
