Current test contains Seagull CES questions on the subject «Deck, Support, LPG». Those questions can be used for competence verification specialist capable of preventing accidental situations related with transporting safety, or also for self-examination.
«Support» subject includes theoretical and practical information about advanced training for work on any type of vessel. Knowledge of this information directly shows employee’s competence who holds a relevant post on LPG tanker. Individuals in the Deck Support department on an LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) Carrier perform crucial tasks related to the safe operation and cargo handling of the vessel. Their responsibilities include assisting in the loading and unloading of LPG cargo, ensuring proper securing and monitoring of cargo during transit. Deck Support personnel on an LPG Carrier also contribute to safety drills, emergency response procedures, and play a role in maintaining the cleanliness and orderliness of the deck area, adhering to strict safety protocols associated with the transportation of liquefied gases.
On this site Crew Evaluation System Test on the subject «Deck, Support, LPG» contains 66 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.
The test includes three modes. In the Training mode, you go through 60 questions with the option to take a hint, while in the Exam mode, this option is not available. We have also developed another mode – Wild, where you can answer all the questions available in the test at once. Enjoy!
