What is a common and avoidable mistake when approaching a berth, particularly for less experienced skippers?

A. Preparing fenders and mooring lines too far in advance of arrival

B. Approaching at too high a speed for the conditions and available sea room, and not having fenders and lines rigged and ready before the final approach — both leave far less margin to react if wind, current, or another vessel changes the picture at the last moment

C. Using too many fenders rather than too few

D. There is no meaningful difference in risk between approach speeds when berthing

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
