You're setting your vessel's lone-watchkeeping policy. Which approach best reflects good practice, based on what happened to Solong?

A. A blanket rule allowing single-handed watchkeeping at all times outside of port approaches

B. A policy that requires additional lookout resource specifically when visibility, traffic density, or navigational complexity increase — assessed dynamically, not fixed to a static day/night or open-water rule

C. Lone watchkeeping is acceptable any time the vessel is in open water, regardless of visibility

D. The decision to add a lookout should be left entirely to the discretion of the officer on watch, with no company policy

A. Security levels only apply to passenger vessels

B. No action needed until the vessel actually arrives in port

C. Only the Master needs to be informed; no operational changes are required

D. Implement the additional security measures specified in the Ship Security Plan for Security Level 2 (e.g. increased monitoring of restricted areas, additional checks on visitors/stores, more frequent security patrols) before arrival, and acknowledge/report the change as required

A. To control access to areas where security-sensitive information, equipment, or cargo is held (e.g. bridge, engine room, security equipment stores), preventing unauthorised access that could compromise the security of the ship, crew, passengers or cargo

B. To give crew somewhere private to relax

C. They are purely for fire safety, unrelated to security

D. Restricted areas are only required on vessels carrying dangerous goods
