Welcome to the website where you can find answers for the CES test on the subject «Deck Management General Cargo Vessel». This site will help you as a marine specialist improve your knowledge with the help of open information, where you can find questions as well as answers for them. 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.
- Version: 5.0, 5.1, 6.0.0.
- Test type: STCW.
- Department: Deck.
- Level: Management.

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 «Deck Management General Cargo Vessel». These questions can be used to test the competence of a person who is able, as a third officer on an oil tanker, to perform the basic duties of assisting senior officers in the safe navigation and operation of the vessel. It is also the responsibility of the ship’s worker to maintain accurate navigational records, conduct regular safety checks, and ensure that all applicable maritime regulations are observed.
«Deck Management General Cargo Vessel» subject includes theoretical and practical information about safety working with electrical equipment. Knowledge of this information directly indicates the competence of the employee who holds the relevant position on the ship. In addition, the officer is responsible for supervising the deck crew, supervising cargo operations, and conducting regular safety drills and drills. As a junior officer, you must learn from and support more senior crew members while gaining valuable experience that can be applied to future roles in the maritime industry.
This page contains answers to Seagull CES (Crew Evaluation System) test about Deck Management General Cargo 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.
