You skipper a small fishing vessel whose stability survey used a formula the vessel's dimensions technically fell outside the intended parameters for, requiring "special care" to be applied. What should this mean in practice?

A. Nothing extra — if the survey issued a Declaration of Compliance, the vessel's stability is confirmed regardless of the formula's applicability

B. The special care applied should be specifically documented and understood — using a formula outside its intended parameters without recorded justification leaves a real gap in whether the vessel's actual stability margins are properly known

C. Special care only applies to vessels over 15 metres

D. The formula's applicability is irrelevant as long as the vessel passed a rolling period test at any point

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
