Practice questions
Preparation prompts derived from this entry, not an official inspector interview script.
1Are the source’s wind/current figures permission to remain anchored up to those values?
No. They describe assumptions in a cited design explanation, not universal safe operating limits.
Where a finding may arise
Missing evidence, defects or gaps in familiarity against these checks may prevent a satisfactory answer. These are derived preparation concerns, not additional explicit finding criteria or reported past observations.
Past observations for practice
Anonymised reports, manually reviewed before publication. These are reported experiences, not additional inspection requirements.

Remove vessel, company and inspector names, report numbers, exact dates and confidential information. Do not paste a complete inspection report.
Source clarification
The source cites a 2010 explanation using 2.5 m/s current, 25 m/s wind and scope 6–10. These values do not establish current universal Class criteria or an operating envelope for the individual ship.
