Q. 1) What do you mean by squat ?
X
The squat effect is the hydrodynamic phenomenon by which a vessel moving quickly through shallow water creates an area of lowered pressure that causes the ship to be closer to the seabed than would otherwise be expected. This phenomenon is caused when water that should normally flow under the hull encounters resistance due to the close proximity of the hull to the seabed. This causes the water to move faster, creating a low-pressure area with lowered water level surface
Q. 2) Can you overtake a vessel in TSS and narrow channel
X
yes we can,but it is possible only if the vessel to be overtaken permits.through a appropriate sound signal

Q. 5) Inerting ?
X
Inerting is a method of introducing Flue Gas into the cargo tanks to maintain the C.O.T within non Flammable Range.
inerting is the process of mixing inert gases produced by M/E exhaust.into the cargo tank of the vessel to maintain the level of oxygen as well as to provide positive pressure while unloading the cargo.
Q. 6) When do you say a vessel s overtaking
