The yacht regularly operates in a region prone to sudden, localised thunderstorms with strong gusts ("squalls") that are difficult to forecast precisely. What operational measures help manage this risk?

A. Only relevant for sailing yachts, not motor yachts

B. Monitoring weather radar/satellite imagery where available for approaching cells, briefing the bridge team and deck crew on squall procedures (reducing sail/awnings, securing loose items, increasing engine readiness, briefing guests on water activities if relevant), and having a low threshold for suspending water sports or tender operations if conditions are deteriorating

C. No special measures are needed since squalls cannot be predicted anyway

D. Squalls only affect vessels at anchor, not those underway

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
