Your examiner asks: "What is the onboard Training Manual required by SOLAS Chapter III, and how does it differ from the muster list and the SSP?"

A. The Training Manual is a document (or in some cases audio-visual aids) required to be carried and made available to crew — typically in the crew mess room, recreation room, or similar accessible location — that explains, in practical instructional terms, how to use the ship's life-saving appliances and survival techniques: donning lifejackets/immersion suits, launching and boarding survival craft, operating davits and release gear, using pyrotechnics, and similar hands-on instruction. This is DISTINCT from the muster list (which assigns individual emergency duties and stations) and the SSP (which is a SECURITY document, not a safety/survival training document) — the Training Manual's purpose is instructional/educational, teaching crew HOW to use the equipment, rather than telling them WHERE to go or WHAT their specific assigned role is.

B. The Training Manual and the muster list are the same document under different names, and SOLAS III has no separate requirement for any instructional material on survival equipment use.

C. The Training Manual is a security document restricted to the master and SSO, kept confidential from the rest of the crew in the same way as the SSP.

D. The Training Manual is required only on passenger ships and has no application to cargo ships under SOLAS Chapter III.

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
