SIRE 2.0 practice: Navigation and communications
SIRE 2.0 inspections look at each question through hardware, process and human factors. On navigation and communications, the officers who do well are the ones who can explain what they do and why, in their own words.
Practice prompts for navigation and communications
- Walk the inspector through how the passage plan was checked against the latest notices.
- Explain how the bridge team confirms the under-keel clearance for the next leg.
- Show how a chart correction reaches the ECDIS, and who checks it.
These prompts are our own practice material, written by former officers. They are not the programme's question text.
How to practise
Answer out loud, then check your answer against the points an inspector usually looks for. Practise by role: the questions a third officer faces are not the Master's.
The free practice tool marks your answers and shares nothing with an employer. For the fleet, Vera, the vetting colleague, builds each ship's self-check from the current edition and links the evidence.
