A person has gone overboard from the port side while the vessel was making way. What is the purpose of a Williamson Turn in this situation?

A. It is a turning manoeuvre (turn hard toward the side the person fell from, then reverse the turn after a set heading change) that brings the vessel back onto a reciprocal track close to the position where the person entered the water — useful especially when the casualty cannot be kept in sight continuously

B. It is a manoeuvre used purely to slow the vessel down before stopping

C. It requires the vessel to come to a complete stop before starting the turn

D. It is only used for picking up dropped equipment, not persons

A. Nothing — a test lift can proceed immediately after repairs

B. Testing should wait until cargo operations begin

C. The area within the grab's swing radius should be cleared of personnel before the lift

D. Only the crane operator needs to be aware the lift is happening

A. Who must remain clear of the exclusion zone while the lift takes place

B. The lunch schedule for the deck team

C. Only the weather forecast for the next watch

D. The cargo manifest for the next port
