Shenoy. Attempted only F2. External - 1. Load density and reason how is it useful 2. Definition of stowage factor and units. How is it used. And what else is needed along with Stowage factor for loading pallets etc. on a general cargo ship ( He wants to hear Broken Stowage and how to use BS) 3. Calculations of FSC and calculation of GM without loadicator 4. If you are loading cargo for car carrier from Australia to Dubai, what all will you check. (He wants to hear Stability calculation and that vsl is compliant throughout the voyage) 5. Loading and securing of Cars in car carrier 6. Heavy lift checks and how will you calculate the stability. (He wants to hear that you will calculate stability of the ship and how and where the G moves). 7. When you go from SW to river, how does the water line wrt loadline move and why? Will it go up or down and to what level. And how is it calculated. ( He wants to hear FWA). 8. Contents of IMSBC code 9. Contents of CSS code and what is CSM 10. Contents of Capacity Plan. Is loadline marks given in the plan? 11. Draft survey and corrections, reasons for the corrections. To what we will apply First trim Correction and Second trim Correction. 12. The values provided in hydrostatic particulars is given what condition and what drafts? ( Even keel condition and drafts at Centre of floatation in SW). 13. Can we use the displacement to find the other information from the booklet. 14. Difference between voyage charter and time charter. What is bareboat charter. 15. Claims that can be charterer can get from owner in time charter (Not complying with Speed, fuel declared while signing the agreement, break down of the vsl (Off hire). He said there is one more.

Cargo pump room ventilation- Supply and exhaust type difference. 19. Types of gas ships and carriage temperature of propane and butane. 20. How is the cargo calculation done in gas ships. I told him will note down the sounding of the tanks and then additionally will calculate average temperature of the cargo and pressure of the tanks. He asked how will I take average. I replied we generally take 5 temperature readings for port and stbd side each and then depending on the liquid level, we will calculate average temperature of vapour and average temperature of liquid. Then he asked if we calculate cargoes quantities manually these days. I told him we put the noted values in loadicator along with the correct density received from the terminal. And this gives us the cargo figures. He asked if I know how to calculate. I replied I had learnt it but don't recall now. He is like how will you do it on ship then. Will you tell the master the same- that you had learnt but don't recall now. I replied no sir we will find worked out examples in stability booklet. He seemed ok after that. He was annoyed earlier.
