Welcome to the website where you can pass online the CES CBT CD-0092 test on the subject «Introduction to MARPOL». Practice like this will help you as a marine specialist improve your knowledge with the help of online studying and appraisal practice. 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.
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 «Introduction to MARPOL». Those questions can be used for competence verification specialist capable of preventing accidental situations related with transporting safety, or also for self-examination.
«Introduction to MARPOL» subject includes theoretical and practical information about advanced training for work on any type of vessel. It is important for seamen to know MARPOL (International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships) because it sets regulations to prevent pollution of the marine environment by ships from operational or accidental causes. Understanding and adhering to MARPOL standards is crucial for seamen to ensure compliance with international environmental laws, protect marine ecosystems, and avoid legal penalties for their vessel.
On this site Crew Evaluation System Test on the subject «Introduction to MARPOL» contains 44 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.
