Discussion over it. No specific area. (I spoke wrt CLC,
navigation, reportings, cargo, not much, then to next question).
6. Additional certificates on board oil tanker, just specific to oil
tankers.

in tons using trim n stability booklet. Wasn't sure after
hydrostatic draft.
11. DD preparation wrt stability.
Some more questions, then told me to wait outside and wait for
Capt Panda as he went for a meeting.
very practical and very helpful nature.
Since he asked just 12-15 questions in 20-25 mins, also could
not answer last two questions properly, thought its 'next time'
again.
But thanks to Almighty God, Capt Panda too asked few
questions and that made my day.
Capt Panda,
Last vessel, certificates carried, CLC, persistent oil, last cargo
(fuel oil), so CLC applicable to fuel oil? bunker certificate
whether carried on your last ship? Insurance certificates
onboard. P and I and its functions ie covers provided, in detail.
And few more practical questions.
That's all, making my day a memorable day of my life.....
He penned down the capital 'P' in my EXN form.
Both the examiners are very practical and supportive.
