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;

Current test contains Seagull CES questions on the subject «Work on Container Vessel». Those questions can be used for competence verification specialist. Knowledge of this information directly shows employee’s competence who holds a relevant post on a vessel. A sailor working on a container ship requires a high level of professionalism and physical endurance. Their primary task involves overseeing the loading and unloading of containers, necessitating precise distribution of weight loads to ensure the vessel’s stability. Sailors must also be well-versed in all technical aspects of the ship and capable of promptly responding to any emergency situations.
Furthermore, container ships often operate on international routes, entailing extended periods at sea and limited time ashore. This demands a high level of resilience to stress and adaptability to varying onboard living conditions. Sailors must adhere to strict international safety and environmental protection standards, as container ships carry substantial cargo volumes, making it crucial to avoid any potential accidents or mishaps. Overall, the job of a sailor on a container ship is challenging but vital for global trade and commerce.
This page contains answers to Seagull CES (Crew Evaluation System) test about Deck, Support, Container Vessel, and serve as a database of questions and answers, using which seafarer can prepare to exams for getting certificate of competence, or just to challenge yourself with knowledge in this theme.
