Welcome to the website where you can pass online the CES CBT CD-0336 test on the subject «Back Deck Safety for Seismic Vessels». Practice like this will help you as a marine specialist improve your knowledge with the help of online studying and appraisal practice. CES based on practical information and marine specialists experience.
CES tests developed for evaluating seaman basic knowledge by Seagull Company (rebranded as «OTG»), is an evaluating online-tool, used for revealing any professional preparation needed in specific fields of knowledge, defined by STCW.
CES tests have proven themselves as good tools for the selection and recruitment process, as well as advancing the level of knowledge of the current officers and crew. Ocean Technologies Group use various subjects for question creation, which includes:
Crowd and Crisis Management;
Integrated Navigation System (INS);
Ballast water management;
Handling and Stowage;
Vessel operation management and safety;
Marine engineering;
Maintenance and repair, etc.
Current test contains Seagull CES questions on the subject «Back Deck Safety for Seismic Vessels». Those questions can be used for competence verification specialist capable of preventing accidental situations related with transporting safety, or also for self-examination.
«Back Deck Safety for Seismic Vessels» subject includes theoretical and practical information about advanced training for work on any type of vessel. Back deck safety training for seismic vessels provides essential knowledge for safe operations during seismic surveys. The test focuses on the risks associated with handling seismic equipment, heavy machinery and towing systems on the back deck. Participants learn advanced procedures for safe equipment deployment, retrieval and emergency response in high-risk environments. Practical exercises include simulations of real-life situations to enhance situational awareness, teamwork and adherence to safety protocols. This training prepares crew members to work safely and efficiently on seismic vessels, ensuring compliance with international safety standards.
On this site Crew Evaluation System Test on the subject «Back Deck Safety for Seismic Vessels» contains 38 questions you need to answer with no possibility to go back to previous question. Therefore, we recommend carefully reading each question and making decision with no hurry. In case you have some difficulty answering, you have also possibility to request a hint.
