Timber why less fbd? Wasnt satisfied with cargo loaded all along the length and breath of the ship and it adds to

cargo.

Container loading as per which code.

Heavy wind effect on container ships. Told him about high windage area, not satisfied.

Told him about parametric and synchronous rolling, he said wow. Made a reaction as if he didnt know what those
rollings are.

Inverted triangle symbol on ship side of bulk carrier. Told him load density not to exceed, not satisfied.

Lashing of containers on general cargo ships. He said two types of lashings are there. I didnt know. But i drew the
lashings. He said you should know the name. �

Max gm of container vsl. Told him as per guidance notes on trim and stab booklet, wasnt satisfied.

Dg manifest as per which convention

Content of css code.

Boat note

Sharda, no body knows exactly what he wants. Its totally about luck. Coz for timber i told him the regulation and
the exact statement as to which why timber are assigned less fbd. He still didnt agree.

F1:
- ROR situation: RV own vessel on starboard quarter of target vessel, i said i will take radar bearings and if it’s
constant then ROC exist he said ok then I replied i would alter course to starboard and overtake with good CPA,
he said why not port,, i knew that in overtaking situation we can overtake from port also but if in this case port
alteration was not the option then he was going to tell me to quote rule which were out of my brain’s syllabus so i
took so long time to think that he started doing something on his mobile, than i came up with the fact that as i am
on her stbd qtr so it won’t alter to stbd but it could alter to port so it would become dangerous he said very
good,, then he placed one extra ship on stbd side then i said now i would overtake from port and i am aloud to do
so,, i think i took so long time in one situation that he didn’t dare to waste time on another situation,, so he started
with cards, buoy cards he would not show he would tell you to draw with shape and colour coding then he will
ask colour of light and rhythm.. 6-7 buoys all went right (thanx to @�Ankit Sharma���) then he took paper and
drew vessel with heavy weather from ahead, I thought he gave me paper to draw which side TRS would be so I
started with it showed him TRS anti-clockwise in NH and DSC and SSC actions to avoid everything about TRS
situation,, he replied politely “beta mene TRS ka kuchh nahi puchha bas ye puchha hai ki heavy weather from ahead
and action) i felt so embarrassed �,, then i told him that i would reduce speed and make sure that spulling pipe is
covered and cemented then i started with story when i faced rough weather in Bay of Biscay master didn’t reduce
speed and because our spurling pipe was not cemented so water entered in chain locker and from locker to frwd
store because during last inspection manhole was not made watertight, he asked master didn’t ordered
cementing, i said we were on fixed route and on such voyage officers onboard take it for granted that nothing
happens but one day it happened,, so i said what all things were required to be done in heavy weather situation i
know it’s importance now,, he stopped my oral there,, he said Capt. Poswal would ask you some questions,,,

Capt. Poswal: you tried very hard but collided with fishing vessel action:

I started with inform master

He said ok but be very carefull with sequence of actions

I said then stop vessel

He said that’s a boat

I said i would give them immediate assistance and if unable then will send distress relay msg,,

He said you are like engine takes time to get warm but works so giving you F1 come again for F3

During my first attempt also when i got F2 Poswal asked only one question, I didn’t give answer to Poswal he had
to took it out of me,, so would say don’t be afraid of poswal he is extremely cool if external is impressed from you,,

Int.- Capt. Rajender PoswalResult- Pass

1. Overtaking in RV as per which rule ?

As per 19 d(i) can overtake from both side but preffer stbd side as rule says "avoid alteration of course to port
othertha a vessel being overtaken".

2.Rule 2 in your own words and your understanding.

In short you are always obliged to these rules and no vessel is relieved of his obligation and

Main moto is no collision shall happen even if required any action to be taken in violation of these rules but if
collision happen than you are lialbe as this departure from these rules applicable only of you save a collision.

3. Lots of changes of structure steel in drydock .Do you callibrate your magnetic compass and what else is
required after caliberation?

Ans- yes caliberation is required and deviation curve is also required to renewe.

4. What all correctors of magnetic compass you see on monkey island ?What for those 2 sphere and flinder bars
are meant for ?

Ans - flinder bars for induced b due to c rod and spheres for Dand E

5.collision with fishing vessel/pdv action?

Ans- mainly want to listen

Stopp engine at once and call master and than add whatevere best you can do.

6. What all information youwill exchange after collision with collided vessel ??

Ans - Vessel details ,port of registry,crew onboard,cargo onboard,whether need assistance ,stability status etc
etc

Above all question was asked by internal surveyour

External surveyour asked only one card and one situation thats all . all from his set.And he is very genuine for

Function 1:

~ Nuc & Aground card (2Red & 1 white light in straight vertical line)

~ Action? (Told him alter to stbd for NUC and alter to stbd and reverse course for aground)

~ What is your action, will you reverse course or not (He asked this after I said the above answers �)

~ How do you know she is NUC or aground? - Vector

~ You can see only two mast head lights on your port bow, action?

~ Visibility of mast head lights? - 6NM

~ You see a vessel at 5 miles on your port side (about 5 points), your action? - Maintain course and speed

Target 4 miles - Maintain course and speed and attract attention.

~How to attract attention? I said by sound and light.

~ What is range of sound signal? I said 2 miles is minimum but I can also attract attention by light.

~ Which light? Manoeuvring light-5 miles is the range.

~ She declares NUC on VHF, action?

I’ll wait for her to come to 3 NM, visually see the NUC signal then alter course to port and pass her astern.
~ Find aspect- own course 060 Tgt course 040. Why will you overtake her from the port side?

~ Quote rule 6

~ What are the values of VBW & HBW (VBW: 15-30, I told him 15-20 but he didn’t say anything and corrected me
HBW: 0.6-2.0)

~ Why VBW is more (To counter for rolling and pitching)

~ How will you assist master in navigation

a: Told him that I should have sufficient knowledge to interpret meteorological data, he said master doesn’t know
who to read it?�

b: Told him that I will assist master in aspects of lookout like traffic, Nav hazards and VTS, he said master is alone
on the bridge?� aren’t there other officers to do this work?

c: Told him that I would have sufficient knowledge of manoeuvring characteristics of the vessel to assist him in
Rough weather and critical navigation, he said “you are saying that master doesn’t know how to manoeuvres the
vessel and you will tell him how to do it?�

I smiled when he said that �

~ What are hazards of ice navigation, he didn’t cross question on this one

~ Why celestial PL are perpendicular and terrestrial are on the Azimuth?

a. Told him that the we get the Postion circle from celestial body and the circle is so big that on charts it is
plotted as a straight line, he again repeated the question.

b. Told him that the body and observer are on the same line with reference to each other on terrestrial but not in
case of celestial, he again repeated the question ��♂

~ Info from surface analysis chart?

Told him all, then he said how do you find direction and strength of the wind?

a) Direction: draw a line parallel to the nearest isobar, then draw another line about 30 towards the right of the
original line, this is the direction of wind you will face on the ship. The deflection is due to coriolis effect.

~ What is buys ballot law?

He said ok fine, imagine you are on that ship facing true wind, you will expect the low on 8-12 points on your right?
So then how is it justifiable?

I couldn’t answer this !

~ Factors to be taken in passage planning? Told him Draft, Current, Tide, Traffic, size of vessel, available
searoom, weather. He said “chief officer banke bologe - chalo chalo chalte hai Maine sab dekh kiya hai��� I
laughed when he said that

~ Principle of Gyro - Told him conservation of angular momentum. And explained that a gyro keeps on pointing in
one direction even if the base or mounting is tilted. He said isse kya faida hoga? I said I can make it north seeking
correcting for errors and will help me in navigation. He said why do you keep answering me from the notes ��♂

Function 2:

~ What type of ship and what cargo? Oil tanker & Naphtha

~ Hazards of naphtha

~ What is SF & Load density?

~ What is angle of repose?

~ What are hazards of bulk cargo? - When I told Wet shift, he said can you load a cargo more that TML? I said no sir
but an exemption can be there if there are suitable arrangements made to restrict the shift.

~ Nop? What are the cases? Told him that when the vessel arrives after laycan.

~ What is difference between laycan and laydays?
