Competency Inspect and report defects and damage to cargo spaces, hatch covers and ballast tanks
A bulk carrier has to complete loading at a draft of 10 metres. The current amidship drafts are 9.96 metres (port side) and
9.98 metres (starboard side). The sinkage remaining to maximum draft is:
0.03 metres
0.03 metres
0.02 metres
0.04 metres
A bulk carrier is loading to complete at a draught of 10.00m when in salt water. She is currently floating in dock water and the
Dock Water Allowance (DWA) is 80 mm. Her maximum draught at completion of loading should be
10.08 metres
9.92 metres
10.80 metres
9.20 metres
Before a bulk carrier can load a full cargo of grain, what additional stability information is required?
Grain loading conditions must be shown and the vessel is in possession of a Document of
Authorization
No additional conditions are required to be shown
A bulk carrier cannot load a grain cargo
The information is in a standard stability book should be sufficient to calculate a grain condition
How much liferaft capacity should be provided on a conventional cargo ship of more than 85 meters in length ?
100% of the complement if it can be readily launched on either side of the ship. If it cannot be
readily launched on either side, 100% must be provided on each side
50% of the complement on each side of the ship
25% of the complement on each side of the ship
75% of the complement on each side of the ship
It is common practice on bulk carriers to fill only one set of ballast tanks at any one time so as to
Ensure that free surfaces in ballast tanks do not become excessive during the ballasting
operation
Keep the vessel trimmed by the stern at all times during loading
Ensure that bending moments do not become excessive
Prevent excessive list from developing
Normally, a vessel sails in salt water and therefore salt water draughts are those which are referred to. If there is a change in
density however, this must be taken into account because the true draughts of the ship will change. Which of the definitions
below is that of this "Fresh Water Allowance"?
The number of millimetres by which a vessel's True Mean Draught changes when she passes
from salt water to fresh water, or vica versa
The number of millimetres by which a vessel's True Mean Draught changes when she passes
from salt water into a dock of a different water density
The number of centimetres by which a vessel's maximum draught is calculated to increase
when she passes from salt water to fresh water
The allowance assigned by the Classification Society when the vessel is built, to indicate the
compensation that may be applied during topping off to allow for dock water density
The CO2 injection lines into the designated ballast hold of a bulk carrier are sealed

The perforated plate cover of the cargo hatch bilges are normally covered with burlap, so as
To withstand flooding of any one cargo hold, a bulk carrier constructed after 1 July 1999 can be loaded to:
The raising or lowering of a crane jib, moving the head of the crane and therefore a suspended
load horizontally towards or away from the crane
The combined movement of hoisting a load and slewing the crane, employed when lifting a load
from a dockside over and into a ship's hold, or vica versa
The initial phase of hoisting a load, where the crane wire and structure takes the weight of a
suspended load
The rotating of a ship's jib in a circular movement about the crane
What facility exists under the ISM Code for the provision of individual control measures for specific work-related tasks?
What general background colour is used on warning signs which require a specific "mandatory" action, such as one which might
require the wearing of a safety harness during a particular work task?
Blue
Red
Green
Yellow
What is a "consignee"?
The planned, separated stowage of cargoes that may react dangerously with each other in the
event of leakage or other damage
The planned adjacent stowage of packaged goods, thereby confining a listed hazard within the
same area of the ship
The process of electronically transferring the data on cargoes loaded on a vessel between the
load port and the discharge port, such that import dcumentation is prepared in advance of the
vessel's arrival
The stowage of cargoes when calculated by a computerized load program
What is of utmost concern when steel cargoes are carried in a bulk carrier?
What is the name given to the special list of cargo loaded on board a ship that needs to be prepared for reporting and other
administrative purposes?
Manifest

What is this?
What kinds of checks must be carried out on slings, wires and other items of lifting equipment before they are used in routine
operations?
They must be visually inspected and ascertained, so far as is possible, as being in good working order
and fit for purpose
They do not need to be checked. They are checked under the vessel's planned maintenance system
every 12 months
They must be tested under load, to ensure they can bear the planned weight
They must be visually inspected to ensure that the ID and SWL marks are clearly legible
What name is given to the inspection and measurements at the end of a bulk carrier's loading operation, that determines the
weight of cargo lifted based on the observed draughts, any list, hog or sag, the dock water density and the calculation of
ballast and consumables on the vessel?
Draught Survey
Departure Survey
