SETS (Seafarer Evaluation Training System) Test Online for Seamen on ES1: Pumping Operations (Basic)

Join Our Telegram (Seaman Community)

Welcome to the website where you can pass online the Seafarer Evaluation Training System (SETS) test on «Pumping Operations (Basic)». Practice like this will help you as a marine specialist improve your knowledge with the help of online studying and appraisal practice. SETS based on practical information and marine specialists experience.

SETS tests developed for evaluating seaman basic knowledge by company “Naval Education Services” is an evaluating online-tool, used for revealing any professional preparation needed in specific fields of knowledge, defined by STCW Section A-V/1-2.

SETS 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.

Current test contains SETS questions in area «Pumping Operations (Basic)». Those questions can be used for competence verification specialist capable of preventing accidental situations related with transporting safety, or also for self-examination.

«Pumping Operations (Basic)» subject includes theoretical and practical information about advanced training for work on any type of vessel. The test assesses fundamental knowledge of different pump types, including centrifugal, reciprocating, and screw pumps used aboard vessels. A practical section evaluates the ability to perform correct startup, shutdown and priming sequences for various pumping systems. Candidates must demonstrate their understanding of key performance parameters, such as flow rate, pressure and cavitation. Several questions focus on the operation of essential shipboard systems, including ballast, bilge, firefighting and cargo pumping arrangements. This test includes troubleshooting scenarios for common issues like loss of suction, reduced discharge pressure, and excessive pump vibration. A thorough knowledge of associated piping systems, valves, filters and strainers is mandatory for successfully completing the test. Safety procedures, particularly for isolating equipment and preventing pollution during transfer operations, are a critical component of the assessment. Success in this test confirms the foundational competency required to manage and maintain basic pumping operations on any type of vessel.

On this site SETS on the subject «Pumping Operations (Basic)» contains 21 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.
