There is clearly a desire by shipping companies to increase efficiency of the seafarer by the introduction of ECDIS. This increased efficiency can be achieved “on watch” by heaving all the navigational information in a central source “off watch” it is increased by reducing the time taken to complete chart updating and passage planning. The MAIB report identifies fatigue of the watch-keeping a one of the main causes of marine incidents. If ECDIS reduce fatigue by improving efficiency both on watch and off watch, the system will directly contribute to safety.

The same report also stated that the hydrographic community should band together to promote ECDIS as a factor to improve safety and efficiency. In fact, new, ECDIS-enable procedures may allow many shipping companies to better manage their core operations, from better weather routing to increased voyage optimization and increased integration to other shipboard systems that affect operational efficiency.

One of the major problems is that flooding of a hold space may occur without the knowledge of the crew，particularly in heavy weather conditions where visibility may be minimal and any changes in the response of the ship may be masked by the storm．The influence of flooding No.1 hold on a bulk carrier carrying ore，from a naval architecture point of view，is of course to create a significant trim by the head．It is considered that on a well maintained ship this should be a survivable situation．In the event that flooding progress to the adjacent No.2 hold then the consequent trim can immerse the deck forward and the survivability of the ship under storm condition becomes doubtful．Another is also important and if this is a consequence of transverse watertight bulkhead failure then the shock loadings，both in terms of over and under pressures could create a chain reaction involving hatch covers being displaced，bulkheads collapsing，etc．，within a few seconds resulting in an almost instantaneous loss of hull buoyancy and the ship sinking．Knowing when the holds are taking in water is，therefore，considered very important．

(1) The following _______ is not the reason that flooding of a hold space may occur without the knowledge of the crew．
A．that the visibility may be too poor at the moment
B．that changes in the response of the ship may be masked by the storm

A．will result in an almost instantaneous loss of hull buoyancy and the ship sinking
B．will create a chain reaction involving the hatch covers being displaced，bulkheads collapsing
C．will progress to the adjacent No.2 hold
D．is normally a survivable situation
(3) If _______，the consequent trim can immerse the deck forward and the survivability of the ship under storm condition becomes doubtful．
A．No.1 hold is flooded
B．No.2 hold is flooded
C．both No.1 and No.2 hold are flooded
D．either both No.1 or No.2 hold is flooded

13. Which one of the following should not be paid attention to as to accommodation for seafarer? .
A. Communication
B. Heating and ventilation
C. The size of rooms and other accommodation spaces
D. Noise and vibration and other ambient factors

At sea, wet and dry bulb ambient temperatures should be taken and compared regularly with hold temperatures as a matter of routine to gauge whether ventilation is necessary. If a falling ambient temperature causes the temperature of the ship’s structure to drop below the dew-point of the air in the hold, condensation will form on the hold frames and plating. These accumulations, known as “ship’s sweat”, may subsequently drip or run on to the cargo. By monitoring both hold and ambient temperatures this situation can be predicted, and the development of ship’s sweat may be prevented or minimized by timely ventilation.

Should the steel be loaded in conditions where the ambient temperature is lower than that might be encountered later on in the voyage, the hold should not be ventilated. If the cargo is exposed to warmer air having a dew-point higher than the temperature of the steel, “cargo sweat” will form on the surface of the goods. Since much, if not all, of the steel in the hold will be affected in such circumstances, the consequences of cargo sweat are potentially more damaging than the effects of ship’s sweat.
