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;

Maintenance and repair, etc.
Current test contains Seagull CES questions on the subject «JRC ECDIS». Those questions can be used for competence verification specialist capable of preventing accidental situations related with transporting safety, or also for self-examination.
«JRC ECDIS» subject includes theoretical and practical information about advanced training for work on any type of vessel. The subject is designed to provide advanced training for maritime professionals working on various types of vessels. It combines knowledge with skills to ensure proficiency in using Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS). The course focuses on the operation and maintenance of JRC ECDIS equipment, a critical tool for modern navigation. Participants learn how to interpret electronic charts, plan routes and monitor vessel positions effectively. Practical training includes hands-on exercises using JRC ECDIS simulators to mimic real-world navigation scenarios. The subject emphasizes compliance with international maritime standards, such as those set by the IMO and SOLAS. Completing the test training enhances a seafarer’s ability to ensure safe and efficient vessel operations. This advanced training is essential for professionals aiming to work on any type of vessel equipped with ECDIS technology.
On this site Crew Evaluation System Test on the subject «JRC ECDIS» contains 59 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.
