You should sign on new crew members and sign off the crew members who have already

disembarked the vessel. Each person should read all instructions and watch all video clips and
complete the final test with 100% score at least once during the first 30 days while being
onboard the vessel as per NYK's PCC Quality instruction (PQI 017) dated July 15 th, 2005.

To use PCC STARS on the Chief Officer's Computer you have to do the following:
1. Open : “Network Places” (upper left corner of the screen)
2. Right click on "CHARTCO" and left click on "Connect with Remote Desktop Connection"
3. Change User name to "CHART_CO" and Password to "c6yo9" (small letters).
4. When you see the desktop of the CHARTCO Computer, Run:
"PCC-STARS Shipboar Module.exe"
To login as an Administrator the Admin ID is "admin" and Password is "pccadmin".
To login as a Crew member use the Seamen’s book number of that person.

In order to keep the crew list up to date you should do the following:
1. Login as an Administrator
2. Press “Crew Registration” and then fill in all the fields and press “Enter” (Keep in mind that
there is no Electritian rank and you must use Apprentice Engineer instead, and that the
enginners’ ranks are Chief, 1st,2nd & 3rd ).
3. If you encounter an error saying “A crew with the same passport number exists !" that
means the person have already been onboard the vessel. In order to register such person you
should login with his passport number and choose the embarkation date and press “Enter”.
4. To sign off crew members press “Sign Off and Edit Crew Information” -> press “Search” ->
choose the members by ticking in the sign off fields on the right side -> press “Next” -> edit
the sign off date -> press “Enter”

After registering all new crew members you should login as a crew member and do the
following procedure for every single manual :
Open manual -> Close the manual -> Right click on the clock -> Left click on "Adjust
Date/Time" -> Left click on "Change date and time..." -> Advance the time with several
minutes (the number of minutes depends on the length of the manual) -> Apply -> Open next
manual -> Repeat the above procedure until you read them all.
After you have opened all the manuals for the person you should login as an Administrator
and check that crew member's information. To do so you must press on “Crew’s Training
Information” and then press the “View” button in the “Manual” column for the respective
member. If everything is ok and there are dates next to all manuals (there are no RED rows)
then you should proceed with taking the final test.
In order to take the final test login as a crew member and press “Take Test” -> “Click Here
to Take the Test” -> “Click Here to Start taking the test”. Fill in the correct answer and
press “Proceed to the Next Question”. You should do this for all the questions and at the end
press “Finish”. You are going to see a message saying that you have completed the test. Press
“Ok” and you are going to see the result. At last press “Complete & Close”. All the correct
answers are printed / written on several pages situated in the bottom drawer on the right
side of the Chief Officer's computer.

If you open a manual and it does not show its content but it shows a blank page instead that
means that the system has found an error and it will not count the opening of the manual. In
order to fix the problem you have to restart PCC Stars, relogin and read it again. This error
occurs if you skip more than 19minutes between the manuals.

In order to update PCC-STARS with file received from the office you have to do the
following:
1. Copy the file on a flash drive.
2. Go to CHARTCO computer and open C:\pccstarship\webapps\pccstarship\upload\
3. Paste the file from the office in the above mentioned folder.
4. Run: "PCC-STARS Shipboar Module.exe" and login as an Administrator.
5. Click on "Import Data from NYK" and choose "Import Single File"
6. Click on "Browse" and open the above mentioned folder and choose the new update file and
then click on "Upload File". After short period of loading time the program will show you a
message confirming the successful update. After updating the program new manuals will
appear for each person and you have to read them for everyone in order to negate the
alarms.
