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 «Container Ships, Securing Cargo Arrangements». Those questions can be used for competence verification specialist capable of preventing accidental situations related with transporting safety, or also for self-examination.
«Container Ships, Securing Cargo Arrangements» subject includes theoretical and practical information about advanced training for work on any type of vessel. The test delivers in-depth knowledge of electrical and electronic systems found aboard various types of vessels. This course delves into the specific procedures and planning involved in securing cargo effectively on container vessels. This specialized training is part of a broader program of advanced maritime education that encompasses the operation and maintenance of various vessel systems, including complex electrical and electronic setups. The curriculum focuses on the practical aspects of planning and executing cargo securing arrangements, taking into account vessel stability, cargo characteristics and anticipated voyage conditions. Participants gain a thorough understanding of different lashing and securing equipment, their proper application and the forces they are designed to withstand. The test covers detailed calculation methods for determining the number and type of lashings required for various cargo configurations, in line with international regulations. While primarily focused on the physical aspects of cargo securing, the course also acknowledges how failures in other systems, such as electrical power supply, can indirectly affect cargo safety. Practical exercises, simulations and the development of cargo securing plans are used to reinforce theoretical knowledge and build practical skills. Completion of this course ensures that maritime professionals are equipped to plan and execute secure cargo arrangements, crucial for the safe operation of container vessels and the protection of cargo, crew and the environment.
On this site Crew Evaluation System Test on the subject «Container Ships, Securing Cargo Arrangements» contains 12 questions you need to answer with no possibility to go back to previous question.
