- 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 «Electric Propulsion, Fundamentals». Those questions can be used for competence verification specialist capable of preventing accidental situations related with transporting safety, or also for self-examination.
«Electric Propulsion, Fundamentals» subject includes theoretical and practical information about advanced training for work on the ship. Knowledge of this information directly indicates the competence of the employee holding the relevant position on a vessel that operates on electric traction. The term “vessels with electric propulsion” refers to ships in which one of the elements of the system for converting fuel energy into mechanical energy of rotation of the propeller shaft is an electric machine. One or more electric motors are connected to the propeller shaft directly or through a gearbox.
