MSDS data of methane (told generic contents like physical, chem properties, hazards, first aid measure) 3. Density of methane (0.440 t/m3) 4. Molecular weight of methane (I didn't know this. He shouted at me saying what kind of c/o are you, how are you doing calculation. I told LNG doesn't need molar weight for calculation.) Ans is 16.04 g/mol. 5. How to calculate Molar weight (wasn't able to ans, he sneered saying 12th mein science padha tha ki nahi). Ans - it's the sum of the weight of all atoms in a molecule. 6.

Damage stability criteria for bulk carriers (Answered as per ILLC for type B ships. He crossed question saying type A nahi hota ILLC mein? I replied type A is for ships carrying liquid cargo like tankers, their damage stability is as per Marpol Annex 1 Reg 28, not as per ILLC. He finally seemed satisfied). 9a. What is difference between damage stability of tanker & bulk carriers (angle of heel due to asymmetric flooding is 25, max 30 for tanker & 15, max 17° for bulk) 10. What are type A & type B ships 11. Performance standard of VDR (as per Res A 333) 12. What you know about shipping casualty (started as per MSA Part 12 - then described each section from 358 onwards. By the time I reached section 366 he changed question). 13. What is NAP (told him as per MSA sec 342 foreign ships need to appeal to chief surveyor of GOI within 30 days.

VHM, how to calc (gave definition, then stated it's mentioned in grain stability booklet in tabular or graph format for partial & filled compartment, talked a bit of void space. Still he wasn't satisfied. Again asked what's the formula. Told him it's product of volume of shift of grain with distance between the initial & final centre of gravity). 16. VGM (shipper to give data of weight of container to vsl & terminal after 1st July 2016 onwards. And the 2 methods of calculating it) 17. Heel due to turn (told him about couple created due to centripetal & centrifugal force. He specifically wanted to know where these forces are acting. On centre of gravity & centre of buoyancy. Then gave the formula). 18. Wind heeling criteria (started as per IS code Part A Ch 2.3. then gave him all the angle of heels description, area B Reqmnt & formula for LW1 & LW2, also for which vsl's they apply - psngr/cargo ship of 24m length, administration may require it got fishing vsl of 45m length or more) 19.

Flag will then inform IMO as per module in Gisis). 25. CO2 bottle maintenance: couldn't recall the circular no. So just gave a brief description of monthly/annual/intermediate/renewal checks. He then asked bottle pressure, told him I can't recall but I have studied it. Again he shouted saying you are useless, how can you not know. I told our ship doesn't have CO2 system. 26. Pressure on N2 pilot cylinder for DCP (as I'm on gas carrier): 150 bar. 27. Cyber security: Couldn't quote any circ number. Just gave generic answer on the basis of what we do on ship.
