The current test includes Seagull CES questions on the topic of «Deck Management for General Cargo Vessels». These questions assess the competence of an individual who, as a third officer on an oil tanker, is expected to carry out essential duties such as assisting senior officers in ensuring the safe navigation and operation of the vessel. The responsibilities also include maintaining accurate navigational records, conducting regular safety inspections, and ensuring compliance with all relevant maritime regulations.

The subject «Deck Management for General Cargo Vessels» covers both theoretical and practical knowledge related to the safe handling of electrical equipment. This knowledge is a key indicator of the competence required for the position on the ship. Additionally, the officer is tasked with overseeing the deck crew, managing cargo operations, and conducting regular safety drills. As a junior officer, it is crucial to learn from and support more experienced crew members while gaining valuable experience that will be beneficial in future maritime roles.
