Merchant ships are designed to carry cargoSome are also designed to carry passengersThey can operate as linersThese are employed on regular routes on a fixed timetableA list of their arrival and departure dates is published in advance and they sail whether full or notLiners can be classed as either deep-sea liners or short-sea linersThe former carry mainly containerized cargo across the oceans of the worldthe later carry containerized or conventional cargo on shorter routesFerries are also classed as linersThese offer a daily or weekly service for passengers and vehicles across channels and narrow seasA few ships are still employed as passenger linersThey not only carry passengers but also some cargo on routes from Europe to North America and to the Far EastNowadays the passenger trade is very small and passenger liners usually operate as cruise ships for part of the year

The deep-sea liners ____A____

Bcarry mainly conventional cargo

Coffer a daily or weekly service for passengers and vehicles

Dsail across channels and narrow seas

The Liners ___B_____

Aalways sail full

Bsail regularly even not full

Calways sail in ballast

Dwill not sail if not full

A list of the arrival and departure dates of liners ___D_____

Awill be published weekly

Bwill be published when they sailwhether full or notfrom Europe to North America and to the Far East

Dis published prior to their departure

It is implied in the passage that ____A____

Athe number of passenger ships is small

Ball passenger ships will carry some cargo in near future

Cit is not necessary for liners to sail in regular time

Dcontainer carriers should carry some passengers

Nowadaysmost merchant ships are built to carry cargoesAnd they mainly operate as trampsThese vessels do not sail on regular routes or keep to a fixed timetablebut are employed where there is cargo for them to carryTramps can be classed as deep-sea tramps or short-sea trampsA number are classed as coastersThese ply on coastal routes and up rivers to inland portsThe traditional tramp cargoes are dry bulk cargoesbut some are designed to carry general cargoes

A large number of merchant ships operate as specialized vesselsThese are designed to carry a particular type of cargoThere are several types of specialized vesselThe most common are oil tankersThey are owned by the major oil companies or by independent operatorsTwo other types of liquid bulk carrier of growing importance are chemical carriers and liquefied natural gasLNGcarriers

The axial thrust of the propeller is the force working in a fore and aft directionThis force causes the ship to move ahead through the water or to go asternBecause of her shapea ship will move ahead through the water more easily than going astern

The transverse thrust is the sideways force of the propeller as it rotatesThe transverse effect of the propeller blades at the top near the surface of the water is not strong enough to counteract the opposite effect of the lower bladesFor right-handed propellers this cants the ship's stern to starboard and her bow to portwhen the ship is going aheadThe effect is small and can be corrected by the rudderWhen the engines are put asternthe effect is the opposite and the stern cants to portThis effect is stronger and cannot easily be correctedVessels with left-handed propellers behave in the opposite way

For navigationradar is of incredible valueIt provides the navigator with his positionhis distance from ships or obstructions nearby and other accurate information to prevent collision and ensure the safety of the shipRadar can display all objects within its working range clearlyeither in clear weather or in thick fogIn additionif the radar information is correctly interpretedthe navigator can easily work out the speed and direction of an approaching object and take proper measures to keep his ship from any danger

Shore-based radar also plays an important role in shippingIf ship's radar is in troublethe radar observer at the stations will use VHF radio to alert them to other traffic in the vicini

Radar surveillance systems ___D_____

Amay provide all ships of their technical conditions

Communications over relatively short distances can be made by visual or sound signalsVisual signals can be sent by using flags or an Aldis lampAn Aldis lamp is an electric lamp used for flashing messages in Morse codeThe traditional method of signaling from one ship to another is by using flagsThere are different colored flags for each letter of the alphabetThere are also pennant-shaped flags for numbersand a long pennantknown as an answering or code pennantThree other flagswhich are burgee-shapedare known as substitutesThese show that the flat or pennant is being repeatedBesides standing for a letter of the alphabeteach flagwhen hoisted alonghas another meaningFor exampletheWflag also means I require medical assistanceFlags can also be hoisted in combinations of twothree or fourSirenwhistlebell or other sound signals can be used in fog and similar circumstances when visual signals can not be seen

Communications over relatively short distances may be made by ___D_____
