At hatch corner.
Next question
Reporting in PIMS of the results from the inspection is very important Checklist and Narrative reports. Consider you have carried out an inspection in a ballast tank. The tank was found in order except for an indention in the ship side, which has caused a slight buckling of two side longitudinal. How would you report this?
Fill in the checklist, take some photo and make a narrative report where you describe the indent and location.
Fill in the checklist and take some photos.
Fill in the checklist.
Next question
Similar to Classification Society, the Owner also has acceptance criteria to be used when deficiencies are found. These acceptance criteria should normally be somewhat stricter than the class. Where do you find Owner’s acceptance criteria?
In the working guidance by chief officer.
In the PIMS manual on board.
In the ISM system Reg. 10.
Next question
Some areas of minimal attention with respect to coating, during inspection of ballast tanks are:
Inside edge of cut-outs.
Edge part of stiffeners.
On the web of stiffeners.
Welding beads.
Next question
The class society has acceptance criteria for different types of deficiencies, such as: which two alternatives are not correct?
Coating breakdown.
Corrosion.
Cracks.
Buckling.
Next question
The coating condition in the ballast tanks may be rated as: indicate which of these coating conditions require annual follow up of the ballast tank in question by the class surveyor?
Good.
Fair.
Poor.
Next question
The fore ship may suffer damage due to impact from the sea. Which structural element will then suffer the most significant damage?
The shell plating.
The stiffeners from the shell plating.
The web frames and girders.
Next question
The function of a loaded beam is to transfer loads towards the end supports (in shear). Which part of beam has this function?
The flange.
The web.
Both web and flange.
Next question
The hull girder of a container ship is as other ships subject to tension and compression due to the loads from the lightweight and cargo, and the counteracting buoyancy loads. Since the container ship normally operates in a hogging loading condition, where would you expect tension stresses in the hull girder?
In the deck area.
In the bottom area.
Next question
The pressure testing to prove strength and tightness is not required for which of the following items?
Piping systems.
Tank boundaries.
Cargo holds.
Next question
This is another example of good condition but what do we call the deficiency you can see on the coating? Click on the right option:
Delamination.
Cracking.
Blistering.
Next question
What is assumed by the class for retention of class?
Owner/manager to ensure adequate handling and manning of the ship.
Owner/manager to ensure adequate maintenance, handling and manning of the ship.
Owner to ensure adequate maintenance.
Owner to ensure that the vessel is presented for surveys.
Next question
What is the Integrated Survey Program (ISP)?
A maintenance program for cargo ships.
A hull inspection and maintenance program for container ships.
A maintenance system for machinery on container ships.
