CES тест онлайн по Deck Management Container Vessel

Добро пожаловать на страницу, где вы можете пройти CES тест (Crew Evaluation Test) онлайн по теме «Deck, Management, Container Vessel» (палуба/управление/контейнеровозы). Данная практика поможет вам, как морскому специалисту улучшить свои знания посредством электронного обучения и оценочной тренировки. Основанные на доказательных эмпирических данных и опыте морских специалистов, показательные и эффективные объединенные материалы CES тестов используются на практике в предметных областях.

Разработанные для оценки базовых знаний моряков CES тесты компании Seagull (после ребрендинга OTG) представляют собой онлайновый инструмент оценки, используемый для выявления потребностей в профессиональной подготовке, специфичных для областей знаний, определенных в ПДНВ.

Тип теста: STCW.
Версия: 6.0, 6.0.9.
Департамент: палуба.
Уровень: управление.
Тип судна: контейнеровоз.

В процессе отбора и набора персонала, а также для измерения уровня знаний существующих офицеров и экипажа, CES тест хорошо показал себя по всем параметрам. Ocean Technologies Group использовали для создания вопросов обширные темы, которые включают:

Управление кризисными ситуациями и скоплением людей;
Интегрированная навигационная система;
Управление балластными водами;
Обработка и укладка грузов;
Управление эксплуатацией судна и безопасностью;
Морская инженерия;
Техническое обслуживание и ремонт, и многие другие темы.

Данная страница содержит вопросы Seagull CES по теме «Deck, Management, Container vessel», собранные из тестового симулятора как для проверки компетентности команды судна, так и для личного тестирования знаний.

Тема «Управление/контейнеровозы» включает в себя теоретическую и практическую информацию, знание которой напрямую показывает профессиональность работника, занимающего соответствующую должность на борту судна. Капитан судна, главный помощник и офицеры палубы играют ключевую роль в навигации, контроле за грузом и обеспечении безопасности экипажа и судна. Они работают в тесном взаимодействии с инженерами и членами экипажа, обеспечивая согласованную работу всего судна.

Менеджмент контейнерного судна также включает в себя операционные и логистические аспекты. Операционные менеджеры отвечают за планирование маршрутов, управление грузовыми операциями и взаимодействие с портовыми властями. Логистические специалисты занимаются оптимизацией перевозок контейнеров, обеспечивая эффективное использование ресурсов и минимизацию затрат. Все эти усилия направлены на обеспечение надежной и своевременной доставки грузов, что имеет критическое значение в мировой торговле.

The most effective method of dealing with an under-deck cargo space fire on board a container ship, is to:

Boundary cool the cargo hold from the deck.

Deploy the fixed firefighting system.

Ventilate the cargo hold to remove smoke.

Use portable CO2 extinguishers exclusively.

You are a Senior Officer of the Watch on vessel «A» and are passing through the Straits of Gibraltar. The vessel's speed is 18 knots and your vessel is overtaking several other vessels, when the visibility reduces down to about 2 nm. What aspects would you consider when establishing a «safe speed» for your vessel?

Safe speed depends only on maintaining the planned voyage schedule regardless of visibility or traffic.

Deciding safe speed consider: 2 miles visibility; traffic density; manoeuvrability of vessel; effectiveness of navigational equipment (ARPA etc); state of sea and currents and navigational hazards.

Only the vessel’s engine performance and fuel consumption should be considered when determining safe speed.

Safe speed is determined solely by the depth of water and distance from shore.

Why should a Ground Stabilised True Motion radar display not be used for anti-collision purposes?

Because it consumes more power and reduces the overall efficiency of the radar system.

The «aspect» of the target is confused, so the Regulations for Preventing Collisions cannot be accurately applied.

Because it cannot display targets beyond a limited range of 1 nautical mile.

Because it automatically alters the vessel’s course without operator input.

For calling a coast-station by VHF one should preferably use:

A working channel of the nearest shore-station of that coast-station.

A special calling channel of that coast-station.

Channel 16 should always be used for all communications regardless of instructions.

Any random available channel with the least traffic should be selected.

A message is send by the Inmarsat C-set. The land earth station will:

Automatically send a positive delivery notification (PDN) to the sender.

Only send a positive delivery notification (PDN) to the sender if the sender requested, so in the send menu.

Never send any delivery notification to the sender under any circumstances.

Send a delivery notification only after manual confirmation by the receiving station.

When a coastguard-station wants to send a gale-warning by DSC it will happen in the category:

Security.

Safety.

Distress.

Routine.

When planning to cross an ocean, is it always best to use great circle sailing?

Yes - because it is the easiest sailing to compute and then follow.

No - because there could be environmental or regulatory restrictions.

Yes - because it always guarantees the safest route in all weather conditions.

No - because great circle sailing is only used in coastal navigation.

From the list below, which is among the recommended actions for a vessel to take, on entering an area known for pirate activity?

To turn off all lights.

To transit with maximum safe speed.

To reduce speed and drift to avoid detection.

To anchor and wait until the area is confirmed safe.

A container full of scrap metal is being loaded, and you sight water dripping from it. You should:

Ensure that the container is stowed on deck.

Allow loading but monitor it during the voyage.

Reject the container.

Cover the container and proceed with loading as normal.

Carriage of wet scrap steel borings, turnings and swarf in containers is generally considered dangerous, because:

The moisture will cause a huge increase in the weight of the cargo.

It can spontaneously ignite.

It will corrode the container structure during the voyage.

It will make the cargo smell and attract pests.

With regards to carriage of Calcium Hypochlorite in containers, as per IMDG Code it is not allowed to:

Carry the cargo transport units under deck.

Carry the cargo on deck in ventilated containers.

Pack and ship the cargo in bags.

Mix the cargo with dry sand for safer stowage.

Shock loads in a container lashing system are generally caused by:

Resonant rolling.

Loose cargo lashings.

Excessive fuel consumption during voyage.

Over-tightening of the container twist locks.

What immediate action should be taken if a ship unexpectedly runs aground and stops?

Sound the General Alarm.

Increase engine power to try to free the ship immediately.

Stop engine(s).

Launch lifeboats immediately without notifying the bridge.

Your vessel is in restricted visibility and you hear this signal. What type of vessel does it come from and what additional information does the signal provide?

A vessel aground, more than 100 metres in length. The additional signal indicates which side the clear water lies on.

A vessel at anchor, more than 100 metres in length. She is sounding the additional signal to give warning of her position.

A fishing vessel engaged in trawling. The additional signal indicates the direction of the nets.

A pilot vessel. The additional signal indicates that she is ready to embark or disembark a pilot.

According to the IAMSAR Manual, what is the expected survival time for a person in water of temperature over 20 degrees Celsius?

Between 18-24 hours depending upon their size.

Indefinite, depending on fatigue state.

6-12 hours depending on clothing.

Less than 3 hours without a life jacket.

The direction of wave encounter that is most likely to cause a parametric roll condition on large container ships is:

Following or quartering seas.

Head seas.

Beam seas.

Calm seas with no wind.

Stack allowable weights on a container vessel should not be exceeded because this can cause:

The lashings to be overloaded.

Excessive fuel consumption during the voyage.

Failure of the corner posts of the containers stowed at the bottom of the stack.

Damage to the vessel’s hull plating above the waterline.

Which of the following statements is the most accurate in relation to the safety depth contour setting on an ECDIS?

«The safety depth contour value is best set at a high value».

«The safety depth contour has to be set at a value to reflect the vessel’s draught».

It should always be set 5 metres shallower than the vessel’s draught regardless of conditions.

The safety depth contour is only relevant when sailing in restricted visibility.
