The current test includes Seagull CES questions on the topic of «Deck, Operational, Platform Supply». These questions are designed to assess the competence of specialists in preventing accidents related to transportation safety and can also be used for self-assessment.

The «Operational» subject covers both theoretical and practical aspects of advanced training required for work on any type of vessel. Mastery of this knowledge directly reflects an employee's competence in a relevant position on a platform supply vessel. Seamen working on a deck operational platform supply vessel are responsible for essential tasks that ensure the vessel’s safe operation. They are actively involved in mooring and unmooring, managing cargo operations, and overseeing the secure loading and unloading of various supplies and equipment. Additionally, these seamen play a key role in implementing and enforcing safety procedures, conducting drills, and responding to emergencies, all of which contribute to maintaining a safe working environment on the vessel.
