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 «TOTS 1A-Enclosed Spaces and Tank Atmosphere». Those questions can be used for competence verification specialist capable of preventing accidental situations related with transporting safety, or also for self-examination.

«TOTS 1A-Enclosed Spaces and Tank Atmosphere» subject includes theoretical and practical information about advanced training for work on any type of vessel. The training focuses on the inherent dangers associated with working in confined or enclosed spaces on vessels. This specialized course provides in-depth knowledge about the potential hazards present in tank atmospheres, including oxygen deficiency, flammability and toxicity. Participants learn to identify and assess the risks associated with various types of enclosed spaces, such as cargo tanks, ballast tanks and fuel tanks. The curriculum emphasizes the importance of proper entry procedures, including atmospheric testing, ventilation and the use of permits to work. The training covers the use of specialized equipment for working in enclosed spaces, such as breathing apparatus, rescue harnesses and communication systems. Practical exercises simulate real-life scenarios, allowing participants to practice safe entry, rescue procedures and emergency response in a controlled environment. The course addresses the regulatory requirements and industry best practices for enclosed space entry, ensuring compliance with international maritime standards. Successful completion of the training demonstrates a commitment to safety and prepares individuals to work safely in these challenging environments.

10 minutes.

30 minutes.

Briefly, while the tests are being carried out.

The ventilation should be run continuously.

For what purpose would you use a personal gas detector?

To monitor atmospheric conditions during an enclosed space entry.

To check the atmosphere of an enclosed space before entry.

How long should ventilation be continued after the atmosphere of an enclosed space has been found suitable for entry?

Continuously while the space is occupied, and even during temporary breaks.

For at least one hour after successful testing.

It can be stopped when testing shows that the space is suitable for entry.

It should be continued after testing until the space is actually entered.

How many different locations within a tank should be sampled to test the atmosphere before entering a tank?

As close as possible to the centre of the tank.

At various depths, and through as many openings as possible.

At least three locations.

In one position, at a minimum of three levels.

How many people should be allowed to enter an enclosed space to carry out routine work?

Only the number actually required to carry out the work.

Only two people.

The number required to carry out the work, plus one extra watchman.

The number required to carry out the work, plus the person in charge and one extra watchman.

What action must be taken if the presence of a toxic gas is suspected for which no specific testing equipment is available?

Only allow entry after further ventilation.

Test the space for a similar gas using any available equipment, following the procedures according to COSWP 17.6.

Test using an Explosimeter, and allow any necessary conversion factors.

Treat the space as unsafe and follow the procedures according to COSWP 17.11.

What action must be taken when an enclosed space entry permit expires?

The space must be vacated and closed.

Additional crew should attend for assistance.

The work must be completed as soon as possible.

Work can continue until it has been completed.

What action should be taken if personnel working in an enclosed space get into difficulties?

All personnel should be instructed to leave the space immediately.

The general alarm should be sounded and the rescue team should enter using breathing apparatus under the direction of the Person In Charge.

The first person on the scene should immediately enter the space to give assistance.

The Watchman should immediately enter the space to give assistance.

What actions must be taken to isolate a tank before entry?

Blank off the pipelines to the tank, close and secure all valves and inform the Officer of the Watch.

Request the Officer of the Watch to stop all cargo and ballast pumps.

Stop all cargo and ballast operations.

Stop all ventilation and inform the Officer of the Watch.

What equipment is required to be kept at the entrance of an enclosed space during entry?

A resuscitator or escape breathing set.

Enough escape breathing sets for all personnel in the space.

Why could an unprotected steel space, which has been closed, produce a hazardous atmosphere?

Because hydrocarbons could be liberated from rust scale in the tank.

Because the level of nitrogen in the atmosphere would be increased by corrosion.

Because oxygen in the atmosphere may be depleted by reacting with the steel (i. e., corrosion).

Because toxic gases may be given off by the process of corrosion.

Why could an unventilated ballast tank fitted with Cathodic Protection contain a hazardous atmosphere?

Because hydrogen is produced by the Cathodic Protection.

Because hydrocarbons could be produced by the Cathodic Protection.

Because the Cathodic Protection could produce an oxygen enriched atmosphere.

Because the Cathodic Protection would increase the level of nitrogen in the atmosphere.

Why must the enclosed space atmosphere be sampled at a variety of positions?

To allow for the density of the gas and to check for any gas pockets which may have accumulated in blind spots.

To ensure that enough gas is drawn through the equipment to avoid it remaining in the sampling line.

To make sure that the detection equipment is working correctly.

To obtain an average reading throughout the tank.
