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

C. Using too many fenders rather than too few

D. 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

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

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

C. Testing should wait until cargo operations begin

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

A. Only the weather forecast for the next watch

B. The lunch schedule for the deck team

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

D. The cargo manifest for the next port
