Denmark Fiskeskippereksamen af 1. grad foundations · Understand the traps and how to avoid them.
Treating two screens sharing one GNSS as independent position evidence
Both can repeat one underlying error, so agreement alone does not provide an independent check.
What to do instead
Cross-check using suitable radar, visual or other genuinely independent observations and reassess the actual passage margin.
Assuming a competency certificate automatically supplies quota or fishing access
The person’s qualification and the fishing operation’s permission address different legal conditions.
What to do instead
Check the actual vessel permission, allocation, species, area and gear conditions separately.
Discarding covered catch solely because it is unmarketable
Commercial value does not establish a legally defined exception to a landing obligation.
What to do instead
Apply the actual covered-catch rules, records and verified exception conditions rather than inventing a general exemption.
Treating positive initial GM as complete stability approval
Other righting criteria, downflooding, loading, free surface and operational conditions remain relevant.
What to do instead
Use the approved full stability information and actual loading condition, not one value alone.
Changing towing speed to a fixed recipe after one unexpected tension reading
A tension change can have several causes, including gear state, seabed contact or measurement error.
What to do instead
Assess the available evidence through the actual controlled procedure before a consequential adjustment.
Searching for a hydraulic pinhole leak with the hand
A high-pressure fluid jet can penetrate skin and cause a serious injury despite a small visible mark.
What to do instead
Keep clear and use the competent isolation and inspection procedure; do not place a hand in a suspected jet.
Switching off every radio after an accidental distress alert
The alert can remain unresolved while rescuers continue acting on it, and listening capability is lost.
What to do instead
Use the actual proper cancellation procedure, identify the vessel and maintain the required listening response.
Treating significant wave height as the largest possible wave
It describes a statistical measure; individual waves can be larger and local current changes can steepen them.
What to do instead
Assess height, period, direction, current, uncertainty and the vessel’s actual condition together.
