How will you use tidal atlas

2. What info regarding tidal stream can u get frm charts
3. Wreck marking buoy- when it is used ans : The emergency wreck marking buoy will remain in
position until: a) the wreck is well known and has been promulgated in nautical publications; b) the
wreck has been fully surveyed and exact details such as position and least depth above the wreck
are known; and c) a permanent form of marking of the wreck has been carried out.
4. Safe water mark where it is used (fairway buoy)

How does an ice breaker work?
Ans. Ice breaker has powerful engines and a additionally strengthened bow. It does not cut
through the ice, instead the bow is made to climb over the ice and the ice breaks under the
weight of the vessel. Sufficient trim is maintained to achieve this.
2. Weight of your cargo exceeds load density of your deck, how will you go about loading such a
cargo?
Ans. Increase the surface area over which the load is applied by using dunnage.
1. Emergency Wreck Marking buoy?

BUOY
8. WHEN DAY & NIGHTS ARE EQUAL AND REASON OF IT
1. Why I.G not required in bunker tanks and required when same is carried in cargo tanks. (i said
about flash point and potential difference funda. Lot of cross questioning. I also explained him what
capt. Kohli told us during the classes at oceans XV about a mattress company named J.A.T. which
produces mattresses to keep people at earths potential. But still not satisfied. Then cross
questioned that during internal combustion we dont use that principle. He agreed for flash
point funda but said there is more to it. Was happy on the mattress part but was not happy on ans

6. Can you pump out clean ballast alongside?
7. Discharge criteria for crockery.
8. How many classes are there in IMDG? I said 8+1. Ok why they have classified miscellaneous

13. INDSAR requirements. Answered well.
14. HSSC in details.
15. what is close up syurvey?

2.How can a Bulk Carrier load without DOA
3.Loading Veg oil which annex and catg.
4.Diff Between LPG & LNG Ship.
5. Wat all conditions - any 4 - u will note a protest
1)latest M notice?
2)difference between M & MS notices
3)what is MS notice?

value).
2. wat is a stulken derrick? wat is the SWL of a stulken derrick?
3. Wat is Jumbo derrick?
4. why is there no inerting arrangements in bunker tanks even though if we load the same fuel oil as
cargo(in which case inerting is required)...
i had heard that it was because of some potential difference between the earth and the tank(but it
is wrong)...
