GUIDE QUESTIONNAIRES for Seafarers MANAGEMENT – DECK REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION MARITIME INDUSTRY AUTHORITY STCW OFFICE GUIDE QUESTIONNAIRES for seafarers The Annual Publication of Database of Questionnaires is mandated in Republic Act 10635 or the Act Establishing the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) as the Single Maritime Administration Responsible for the Implementation and Enforcement of the 1978 International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as amended and International Agreements or Covenants related thereto and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. These sample questions have been reviewed and validated by our respective Board of Examiners which may serve as a guide for the review of aspiring Marine Deck and Engineering Officers, towards the successful completion of the Theoretical Examination. The following sample questions do not reflect the actual set of database of questions given during the theoretical examination. Examinees are encouraged to study the contained sample questions and probable answers as they are intended to give an indication of the format and difficulty level of the theoretical examination. You may access these guide questionnaires with your smart gadgets anywhere and anytime at your convenience. Please consider the environment before printing. Thank you.

  • Container Crane Transport Options: Self-Propelled Ship Versus Towed Barge
    Marine Heavy Transport & Lift 21-21 September 2005, London, UK CONTAINER CRANE TRANSPORT OPTIONS: SELF-PROPELLED SHIP VERSUS TOWED BARGE F. van Hoorn, Argonautics Marine Engineering, USA SUMMARY Container cranes are rarely assembled on the terminal quays anymore. These days, new cranes are delivered fully-erect, complete, and in operational condition. In today’s world economy, these fully-erect container cranes are routinely shipped across the oceans. New cranes are transported from manufacturers to terminals, typically on heavy-lift ships either owned by the manufacturer or by specialized shipping companies. Older cranes, often removed from the quay to make space for newer, bigger cranes, are relocated between ports and typically transported by cargo barges. Although the towed barge option is less expensive from a day rate point of view, additional expenses, such as the heavier seafastenings, higher cargo insurance premium, longer transit time, etc. need to be included in the cost trade-off analysis. Some recent container crane transports on ships and barges are discussed in detail and issues such as design criteria, stowage options, seafastening, etc. are addressed. Figure 1: Heavy-lift ship Swan departing Xiamen, China, with 2 new container cranes for delivery to Mundra, India 1. INTRODUCTION fully-erect container cranes are now routinely transported across the oceans. Most are new cranes, transported from New container cranes are on order for delivery to many their manufacturer to the ports of destination on heavy-lift ports around the world. With quay space a valuable ships either owned by the crane manufacturer or by commodity, the cranes are no longer assembled on the specialized shipping companies.

  • Branch's Elements of Shipping/Alan E
    ‘I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in shipping or taking a course where shipping is an important element, for example, chartering and broking, maritime transport, exporting and importing, ship management, and international trade. Using an approach of simple analysis and pragmatism, the book provides clear explanations of the basic elements of ship operations and commercial, legal, economic, technical, managerial, logistical, and financial aspects of shipping.’ Dr Jiangang Fei, National Centre for Ports & Shipping, Australian Maritime College, University of Tasmania, Australia ‘Branch’s Elements of Shipping provides the reader with the best all-round examination of the many elements of the international shipping industry. This edition serves as a fitting tribute to Alan Branch and is an essential text for anyone with an interest in global shipping.’ David Adkins, Lecturer in International Procurement and Supply Chain Management, Plymouth Graduate School of Management, Plymouth University ‘Combining the traditional with the modern is as much a challenge as illuminating operations without getting lost in the fascination of the technical detail. This is particularly true for the world of shipping! Branch’s Elements of Shipping is an ongoing example for mastering these challenges. With its clear maritime focus it provides a very comprehensive knowledge base for relevant terms and details and it is a useful source of expertise for students and practitioners in the field.’ Günter Prockl, Associate Professor, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark This page intentionally left blank Branch’s Elements of Shipping Since it was first published in 1964, Elements of Shipping has become established as a market leader.

Why? Because our pensions depend on the decisions of the next generation. Julie Lithgow It’s no secret that we face numerous challenges in attracting, training and retaining the people we need in our industry at sea and ashore, but the solution is more nuanced than simply recruitment and retention. For example, if the European Commission succeeds in expanding the Blue Economy initiative, an increase in jobs could also create a shortage in skills. While external training initiatives are good steps in overcoming the skills gap, our industry needs new ways of attracting smart, talented and ambitious people, including those who are considering a career change. Perhaps our best move is to create a better culture within our Companies must invest in their staff’s learning potential companies for talented people to pursue careers in our sector. To make this happen, we need an environment of professional OVERCOMING CHALLENGES development, and access to education and training. Of course, this has its challenges, not the least of which is Most importantly, we need to appreciate that meeting the institutional.
