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;

Marine engineering;
Maintenance and repair, etc.
Current test contains Seagull CES questions on the subject «Transas ECDIS, Assessment». Those questions can be used for competence verification specialist capable of preventing accidental situations related with transporting safety, or also for self-examination.
«Transas ECDIS, Assessment» subject includes theoretical and practical information about advanced training for work on any type of vessel. This comprehensive course offers an in-depth exploration of the Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) by Transas, catering to the needs of maritime professionals seeking advanced skills. Participants will learn to utilize ECDIS for efficient voyage planning, real-time navigation and effective decision-making in various maritime scenarios. The training covers a wide range of vessel types, allowing attendees to adapt the system’s functionality to their specific operational requirements. By the end of the course, sailors will have gained practical experience in optimizing ECDIS settings, managing electronic charts and integrating additional data sources for a more informed and secure navigation experience. This program is designed to empower mariners with the expertise needed to navigate confidently using state-of-the-art technology.
On this site Crew Evaluation System Test on the subject «Transas ECDIS, Assessment» contains 50 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.
