The current test includes Seagull CES questions on the topic of «Deck, Support, RoRo». These questions are designed to verify the competence of specialists in preventing accidents related to transport safety and can also be used for self-assessment.
The «Support» subject covers both theoretical and practical knowledge essential for advanced training on any type of vessel. Mastery of this information is a direct indicator of an employee's competence in their role on a RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) Cargo Vessel. Individuals in the Deck Support department on a RoRo Cargo Vessel are responsible for various tasks that ensure the vessel's efficient and safe operation. They play a crucial role in cargo handling, assisting with the loading and unloading of vehicles and other cargo. Additionally, Deck Support personnel help maintain the deck area, keeping it clean, organized, and safe for the transportation of both rolling and static cargo. They also actively participate in emergency response drills to ensure the vessel meets safety standards.
