2ND ATTEMPT

FUNCTION 1

1. Indos no.in phonetic

2.what is today's date

3.15-20 cards ( 10 cards of Iala buoyage.....nuc card..ram cards... aground vessel card...)

4.u are doing westerly course ...u see a South cardinal mark.... what's your action...
5.draw the diagram of TSS properly with seperation zone ... inshore traffic zone...and mark the
lanes...and also show the North South East West direction...

6.after above diagram he ask me to show the path of a vessel joining TSS from east direction and has
to join the lane in South direction....

7.Then form above diagram....he tell me that there is northerly wind and southerly current.....so is
there any change in heading....he basically wants to hear the u have to cross TSS on heading ....

8. Then from above diagram he ask that a fishing vessel is crossing TSS in front of you from starboard
Side ....so who is responsible to take action....and if fishing vessel is not taking action ....then what's
your action...

9.then he ask that u r taking action in above situation and there is raining outside and so which rule
u apply....ans rule 19...

10.then he ask which all rules apply in resticted visibility....

11.all rules in section 1 of part B only name of rule...

12. Ecdis safety settings....and then ask cross questions on safety depth and safety contour...

13.then he ask if u r doing north course and a man overboard from starboard side ...tell me then
action u r going to do..

.then he tell that u have to do Williamson turn ...show ur action with proper direction in diagram...

14.u r on bridge u read reading on aneroid barometer 1016 mb...then what is mb ....and if height is
30 metre ....so what is the reading after correction....

15.if compass reading is 100 deg and gyro error is 1 deg low...and variation is 5 deg west...and
deviation is deg east....so what is magnetic compass reading...and from where u get variation and
deviation...
16. Master order to abandone the ship and u r on bridge so when u activate the epirb and
sart......then he ask why u activate the ebirb immediately ....and ans

is that meanwhile we lowered life boat may be ship sinks so we have to activate eprib
immediately......

17. And then ask the batt.longivity of

sart...and when u activate sart in lifeboat.....ans is when we see the light or sound signal on vessel
nearby...

18.. draw the diagram of radar screen when there is activated sart nearby...

19. Navtex and egc..... details of message in navtex......diff between navtex and egc

12/6/21, 8:33 PM - Rakesh: Seaworthiness is the fitness of a vessel to encounter ordinary perils of
the sea contemplated for the voyage.

A vessel is considered seaworthy if :

1) Hull and machinery is in good order.

2) Safe Manning complied

3) All certificates in order and valid.

12/7/21, 2:28 PM - Rakesh: <Media omitted>

12/8/21, 10:00 AM - Rakesh: In its broadest sense seaworthiness means the fitness of the vessel to
encounter the ordinary perils contemplated for the voyage. The term is mainly used in the legal
context and is often found in contracts entered into by the Company, e.g. charterparties and bills of
lading

depends on navigation, cargo ops, training , manning

: operation at sea like fire and safety rounds, day to day activities and specially whether crew is
complying with all the convention rules and regulation or not

What are the conditions under which you can make departure from ROR(wants to hear in the form
of examples)

Your vsl hdg 090,another vsl stbd abaft the beam,how will you know that it is crossing or
overtaking,what will b the brng for it for that case

Why alteration of course is preferred than changing spd if sufficient sea room

What is scamin

What is catzog
What is advance

Imo criteria for tact dia and full crash stop(track reach)

Why advance and transfer are significant over track reach

He said pass

Internal

What are sound signals for vsl aground

If u have a vsl on 2pt stbd bow and both masthead lts in line and both side lts visible,action(what's
to hear that it is cqs as max rng for side lt is 3M so alter port pass round stern)

Same situation in RV,radar inoperational and intensity of fog horn increasing,action

Who is nav area 8 coordinator,I said india but wants to hear exactly who in india(didn't know)

Now u r transiting from Colombo to Dubai,u r in deep sea far from land and receive distress alert,u r
only vsl in nearby so u r to respond,but problem is u don't have enc permit for that area and it's
night time,company and agents,suppliers are sleeping/not responding,"HOW WILL YOU GET ENC
PERMITS FOR THAT AREA IN SUCH A CASE".(didn't know)

Asked me to wait In lobby with answers ready for last two questions u didn't know

After an hour:

As for navarea 8,indian hyd dept. Dehradhun

Now what is metarea and who is the coordinator for metarea 8(wants to know which place in India) I
said iho dehradhun , Said wrong answer

Then as for ECDIS questions I gave various answers like distress relay,chartco,contact via mrcc etc all
wrong according to him

Gave another chance to find out for 10 min:

I said WMO is resp for overall performance of metarea and india for N and mauritious in S in
metarea 8,then where in india(didn't know)

Then for ECDIS,I gave via ukho website,wasnt convinced

Then started asking

Sound Signals for Pilot vsl in underway and anchor

What is the posn of fwd mast head lgts form ships bow

What is the height criteria for fwd masthead lts

From where this ht is taken(wants to hear uppermost continuous dk)

Can we take this ht form any other place(wants to hear from gunwale for vsls less than 20 m)

Vertical dist btw fwd and aft masthead lts

You see a whight lt on head(basically ror card 9),action???

And my god from the very first question till the end it was all LNG. Went very deep. No questions
from any other type of ships.

Started by asking boil off, full ESD explanation, then vapouriser, compressor and many many more
all technical questions. Wasn't satisfied with my answers as he wanted better explanation and to the
point answer.

F1 Pass. F2: Fail.

LNG guys please study cargo part very carefully.

help! All the best!
