Internal first asked me to quote the whole Rule 19 and asked me how I will
overtake in RV By the time external arrived and started
Bore tide Situation when one RAM in port bow and one NUC in Stbd bow
and another SV in Stbd quarter, what is your action? I answered the he asked
me what if restricted visibility? Trawler card Pushing vessel card In all the
situations asked me day signal and fog signal Depth 80 m and draft 18 m in
Narrow channel, will you show CBD? What is amplitude? How and when you
take amplitude? Williamson turn Creeping line search 1 or 2 more questions in
F1, not much
F3 What is Marine evacuation system? What is DMLC? Smoke from CH carry-
ing coal, action? Requirement of Free fall Lifeboat Chief cook 3rd degree burn,
action as 2nd mate? What is DOS and when you use? A few more questions

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

12
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 contin-
uous 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

F1 Course alteration why preffered? Give two reasons - Readily apparent and
Quickly make vessel out of way of the situation Tactical diameter requirement
Track reach requirement 300m vessel find tactical diameter and track reach
requirement in Nautical miles Is large alteration valid in restricted visibility So,
He explained the reason why course alteration is preffered over speed reduction

Didn’t start well as orals took place in evening and when my turn came I was
able to see n hear them even replied to my name but unable to get my camera
on for microsoft team video in both devices and surveyors were not happy abt it.
Then used via web browser in which Name went missing and INDOS number
also went wrong which further annoyed them. Had some connection issues also
due to which their instructions on scanning room with secondary device wasn’t
clear to me and Internal was quite upset.
Internal then asked me to introduce myself starting from pre sea till present day
after which he asked external to take over.
Func1: 1. Scharnov turn draw and explain ( Wants to see the drawings are made
accurately. Doesn’t appreciate rough drawings) 2. Explain track line search 3.
What lights will PD vessel towing show if length of Towing vsl is 190m, dist
between towing vsl and tow is 60m and length of towed vsl is 130m (Wants to
hear 3 masthead lights as length less than 200m) 4. Definition of towing light
5. You are in the 135° overtaking sector of tow and coming up from behind her.
If there were no obstructions which other lights would u see. ( Stern light and
Towing light of towing vessel ) 6. In above situation her speed 11kts ur speed
12 kts. Range 4 miles What’s ur action? ( As m overtaking it’s my duty to
keep clear. Said I wil overtake from stbd) He added if ur course is on port side
what will happen. ( Overtaking wil take around 5 hours N if course is port side
I wil overtake from port) 7. Coming out of port after passing last buoy u saw
red over white and green sidelight. Whats ur action? (Wants to hear since it’s
pilot vessel it may be underway but stopped or making way so I will observe
first and then take action accordingly). Then he said it’s stopped now how wil
u pass it. so I (Wil watch where it’s drifting and preferably pass astern so if he
starts engine suddenly won’t be a concern for me) 8. Drew Tgt vsl on my vsl’s
stbd beam with range 3 miles. Which situation and what action? (Wants to
hear broad alteration to stbd and it can be achieved as it’s less than my vsl’s
turning circle) Now u r on tgt vsl what is ur action. (Wants to hear if I have
to take action I wil not alter to port for PD vsl on my port side as per rule 17)
9. Above situation in RV ( When he puts u on tgt vsl in RV closely check his
drawing as the heading of the vsl is such that our vsl appears on beam but is
actually fwd of the beam) 10. Drew tgt vsl on port bow slightly out of range of
head on situation, both vsl speed 15kts and approaching with CPA 0.5 cables to
stbd and range 5miles. Master orders to maintain atleast 1mile CPA. Action?
(As per him as both vsls have to take action to avoid collision so correct action
is to wait for tgt vsl to take action n if she doesn’t then let tgt vsl come on
bow crossing heading then widely alter to port and give 5 short n rapid blasts)
11. In Narrow channel engine unavailable for next 24hrs. Depth outside stbd
side of channel is 100m and port side is 10m. Ur draft is 11m. Master dropped
anchor near stbd side. U come on bridge and find anchor dragging what is ur
action. ( Doesn’t want to hear dropping second anchor as when u say it he wil
tell u now u came on morning watch and found vsl aground all around). What
is ur action ? (After mentioning grounding actions if u mention use of tide he
wil tell u now 3m tide has refloated the vsl and it is aground further inside land

102
also vsl is fully loaded so no deballasting. (Wants to hear will call tug at night
only when dragging anchor to hold position)
Func2: 1.Details of water level detection system on bulk carriers 2. Iron ore and
concentrate loading precautions in indian ports. (Wants to hear DG circular
09/2010) 3. Action if now water level detection system is giving alarm and
1meter water in hold. (Wants to hear checking surface of cargo for liquefaction
by moisture migration) 4. The above ore cargo was discharged in Gulf and
next loading is in Mediterranean for clean cargo. How will u prepare and how
will u handle previous ore cargo residues? (Covering function 2 n 3) (Wants to
hear all cleaning procedures as u do prior loading grain after dirty cargo and
for discharge wants to hear 1. Non HME, 2. Vsl has passage in between which
falls outside both gulf and Med special area so will try to discharge there as per
non special area guidelines for residues in cargo wash water) 5. Whr is position
160402 on container ship 6. What is DOC for container ships and what will u
find in it. 7. How will u go about loading different containers onboard (Wants
to hear abt reefer and dg loading, related documents and stowage/segregation
step by step in details) 8. How will u load and secure on a RORO vessel a
flatrack trailer carrying a container on it. ( Wants to hear trailer cannot be
loaded with container on top as the load of the container will break the axle of
the trailer under stresses at sea. So we will load them separately) 9. Now how
wil u secure the above trailer alone. ( Wants to hear as using securing points
as per CSM, 1st gear engaged, tire chocked, brake applied etc) 10. Chemical
tanker has to discharge Cat X and passage from Mediterranean to Black sea to
load Cat X again. How will u go abt it. (Covering func 2 n 3) (Wants to hear
0.08% by weight criteria and tht these r not spl areas for annex 2) 10. Prewash
procedure in detail and where will u find it
Func3: 1. Have u seen ICCP system? How does ICCP system work and does it
cover rudder, propeller and bow thruster? ( Wants to hear it works on potential
difference only covers parallel body of ship) 2. What system protects the keel
area (Wants to hear anti fouling system 3. Tell me everything u know abt
antifoulimg system and paints (Wants to hear tht AFS type is mentioned in AFS
certificate including the paint used. Also why TBT was banned and upcoming

Capt. Vibhute Internal: Capt. Darodkar
Didn’t start well as orals took place in evening and when my turn came I was
able to see n hear them even replied to my name but unable to get my camera
on for microsoft team video in both devices and surveyors were not happy abt it.
Then used via web browser in which Name went missing and INDOS number
also went wrong which further annoyed them. Had some connection issues also
due to which their instructions on scanning room with secondary device wasn’t
clear to me and Internal was quite upset.
Internal then asked me to introduce myself starting from pre sea till present day
after which he asked external to take over.
Func1: 1. Scharnov turn draw and explain ( Wants to see the drawings are made
accurately. Doesn’t appreciate rough drawings) 2. Explain track line search 3.
What lights will PD vessel towing show if length of Towing vsl is 190m, dist
between towing vsl and tow is 60m and length of towed vsl is 130m (Wants to
hear 3 masthead lights as length less than 200m) 4. Definition of towing light
5. You are in the 135° overtaking sector of tow and coming up from behind her.
If there were no obstructions which other lights would u see. ( Stern light and
Towing light of towing vessel ) 6. In above situation her speed 11kts ur speed
12 kts. Range 4 miles What’s ur action? ( As m overtaking it’s my duty to
keep clear. Said I wil overtake from stbd) He added if ur course is on port side
what will happen. ( Overtaking wil take around 5 hours N if course is port side
I wil overtake from port) 7. Coming out of port after passing last buoy u saw
red over white and green sidelight. Whats ur action? (Wants to hear since it’s
pilot vessel it may be underway but stopped or making way so I will observe
first and then take action accordingly). Then he said it’s stopped now how wil
u pass it. so I (Wil watch where it’s drifting and preferably pass astern so if he
starts engine suddenly won’t be a concern for me) 8. Drew Tgt vsl on my vsl’s
stbd beam with range 3 miles. Which situation and what action? (Wants to
hear broad alteration to stbd and it can be achieved as it’s less than my vsl’s
turning circle) Now u r on tgt vsl what is ur action. (Wants to hear if I have
to take action I wil not alter to port for PD vsl on my port side as per rule 17)
9. Above situation in RV ( When he puts u on tgt vsl in RV closely check his
drawing as the heading of the vsl is such that our vsl appears on beam but is
actually fwd of the beam) 10. Drew tgt vsl on port bow slightly out of range of
head on situation, both vsl speed 15kts and approaching with CPA 0.5 cables to
stbd and range 5miles. Master orders to maintain atleast 1mile CPA. Action?
(As per him as both vsls have to take action to avoid collision so correct action
is to wait for tgt vsl to take action n if she doesn’t then let tgt vsl come on
bow crossing heading then widely alter to port and give 5 short n rapid blasts)

106
11. In Narrow channel engine unavailable for next 24hrs. Depth outside stbd
side of channel is 100m and port side is 10m. Ur draft is 11m. Master dropped
anchor near stbd side. U come on bridge and find anchor dragging what is ur
action. ( Doesn’t want to hear dropping second anchor as when u say it he wil
tell u now u came on morning watch and found vsl aground all around). What
is ur action ? (After mentioning grounding actions if u mention use of tide he
wil tell u now 3m tide has refloated the vsl and it is aground further inside land
also vsl is fully loaded so no deballasting. (Wants to hear will call tug at night
only when dragging anchor to hold position)
Func2: 1.Details of water level detection system on bulk carriers 2. Iron ore and
concentrate loading precautions in indian ports. (Wants to hear DG circular
09/2010) 3. Action if now water level detection system is giving alarm and
1meter water in hold. (Wants to hear checking surface of cargo for liquefaction
by moisture migration) 4. The above ore cargo was discharged in Gulf and
next loading is in Mediterranean for clean cargo. How will u prepare and how
will u handle previous ore cargo residues? (Covering function 2 n 3) (Wants to
hear all cleaning procedures as u do prior loading grain after dirty cargo and
for discharge wants to hear 1. Non HME, 2. Vsl has passage in between which
falls outside both gulf and Med special area so will try to discharge there as per
non special area guidelines for residues in cargo wash water) 5. Whr is position
160402 on container ship 6. What is DOC for container ships and what will u
find in it. 7. How will u go about loading different containers onboard (Wants
to hear abt reefer and dg loading, related documents and stowage/segregation
step by step in details) 8. How will u load and secure on a RORO vessel a
flatrack trailer carrying a container on it. ( Wants to hear trailer cannot be
loaded with container on top as the load of the container will break the axle of
the trailer under stresses at sea. So we will load them separately) 9. Now how
wil u secure the above trailer alone. ( Wants to hear as using securing points
as per CSM, 1st gear engaged, tire chocked, brake applied etc) 10. Chemical
tanker has to discharge Cat X and passage from Mediterranean to Black sea to
load Cat X again. How will u go abt it. (Covering func 2 n 3) (Wants to hear
0.08% by weight criteria and tht these r not spl areas for annex 2) 10. Prewash
procedure in detail and where will u find it
Func3: 1. Have u seen ICCP system? How does ICCP system work and does it
cover rudder, propeller and bow thruster? ( Wants to hear it works on potential
difference only covers parallel body of ship) 2. What system protects the keel
area (Wants to hear anti fouling system 3. Tell me everything u know abt
antifoulimg system and paints (Wants to hear tht AFS type is mentioned in AFS
certificate including the paint used. Also why TBT was banned and upcoming
amendment regarding Crybutylene) 4. Person in distress. Own vsl is only vsl
nearby and proceeding to rescue. Swell 2-3mtrs. How will u go abt launching
and recovery of boat? (Wants to hear use of on load mechanism for lowering and
use of Recovery strops and Hanging off penant for recovery) 5. Where does coal
cargo get stuck inside a bulk carrier hold? What all structures do u find inside a
bulk carrier cargo hold? (Wants to hear spiral ladders, hopper, corrugations and

107
sounding, temp sampling and gas measurement pipe guards also DB air pipes) 6.
Care and maintenance of Hatch covers (Wants to hear abt wheels, cleats, rubber
packing, drain channel, greasing points, rubber packing of ventilators, resting
pads) 7. What are compression bars, its purpose and maintenance? (Wants
to hear it is made of metal and bears max weight of hatch cover, will do light
greasing plus and other maintenance as per manufacturer instructions)
Internal Func 1: 1.Types of weather routeings 2. What are synoptic charts and
what details will you find in it?
Func 2: You are loading iron ore in monsoon in Goa. Also give details of DG
circular 09/2010 (Wants to hear the stock pile is left in the open in rain due to
which as per the circular a MMD surveyor should examine it to ensure TML is
not exceeded beyond limits
Func 3: 1. Is inspection and survey required? Where is it written? ( Wants to
hear Solas ch. 2 and Ch.12 )
2. How will u prepare for SEQ survey
Result P/P/P (Was lucky also as I got time till evening to prepare recent and
past question sets of both surveyors. Also all members of Orals Group actively
helped and replied quickly to any questions I posted in the group which helped
cover lot of questions in very less time)

Thanks everyone for posting Questions..it helps a lot .
For situation only refer Seamanic - ROR and read it thoroughly ..it will clear
all concepts.
Good luck guys ��� 3/20/22, 15:44 - Abhijeet: Disadvantages of Mercury barome-
ter : 1. It is made of glass and contains mercury. Hence, fragile and not suitable
for Merchant ships. 2. Latitude or Gravity error : As earth’s gravity is more
at poles and less at equator, the weight of mercury changes as vessel’s latitude
changes. To avoid this error, a standard weight of mercury at 450 Lat is taken
for reference. 3. Temperature error : Volume of mercury changes as per change
in atmospheric temperature, hence correction needs to be applied for same. 4.
Error due to Capillarity of mercury inside the tube and capacity of mercury
bowl causes small change in the reading. 5. Pumping error due to rolling and
pitching. 6. By using Gold Slide in which corrections for all errors ( Index,
Height, Latitude, Temperature ) are incorporated – Atmospheric Pressure can
be directly read from Mercury Barometer. 7. Barometric Tendency can not
be found out. 8. Chances of Parallax error while reading Mercury barometer.

am expecting that you have by hearted all the rules. I told him not all rules I
know by heart but yes I can give you explaination and all the points of those
rules ( especially rule 1 and 10) He said okay as we progress into the questions
I’ll test you upon that.
