Attempt ALL questions ‘Marks for each part question are shown in brackets SECTION A O (a) A vessel is intially upright KG 9.50 m, with a heavy lift stowed at Kg 3.00-m, 10.00 m to port ofthe centretine. Tre lift is to be transferred to starboard of the centre line to a postion Kg 2.00 m, 12.00 m to starboard of the centeline using the vessel's crane, “There are four stages to the operation as fle Stage 1 when the weight i initaly ited: Stage 2_when the crane fs slewed to starboard and is over the centretne; Stage 3 when the crane is slewed to 12.00m to the starboard of the centrale; Stage 4 when the weight has been placed in the stowage postion.
