On a single-screw vessel, when coming port side to a pier and being set off the pier, you should __________.

Correct Answer: Option C — make your approach at a greater angle than in calm weather

When environmental forces like wind or current set a vessel off a pier, the approach angle must be increased to compensate for the drift. By angling the bow more sharply toward the pier, the vessel maintains the necessary vector to counteract the set and ensure a controlled landing.
