Welcome to the website where you can pass online the CES CBT CD-0287 test on the subject «Inspection of Mooring Lines». 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 «Inspection of Mooring Lines». Those questions can be used for competence verification specialist capable of preventing accidental situations related with transporting safety, or also for self-examination.
«Inspection of Mooring Lines» subject includes theoretical and practical information about advanced training for work on any type of vessel. This training covers the essential techniques for inspecting mooring lines to ensure their integrity and safety. Trainees learn to identify common wear and tear, as well as potential hazards that could compromise the lines. Emphasis is placed on understanding the materials and construction of mooring lines, as well as proper maintenance and storage practices. Advanced training also includes the latest industry standards and regulations for mooring line safety.
On this site Crew Evaluation System Test on the subject «Inspection of Mooring Lines» contains 24 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.
