part 1 & 2, psc inspections/CIC concentrated inspection campaign, cadet training and how to
educate them on their TARB book assignments, etc

Cleared my COC Class 1 by Mr. David

Generally lots and lots and lots of cross questions, some of them based on shipboard operations
and maitenances, so just keeps on refreshing onboard activities, he mostly not so interest in what
you have known, if you shown any aspects that not so familiar with, then will dig very deep.
1. EGE:
- Crew neglections which causing EGE faults, I explained mainly in two aspects, one is boiler
water treatment, the other is lack or improper maintenance of combustion equipments causing
soot accumulating, like FO quality control, injector, exhaust valve, TC, liner and piston ring
wear, cylinder LO timing and quantity, EGE water washing or soot blowing action etc.
- then whichever you mentioned, mostly there is a cross question, like FO injection pressure and
testing, TC performance, unit overhaul, i mentioned FO in bad quality, then ask about FO
sampling, how many samples u collect, and BDN.
- How to check and identify the EGE faults: enclosed space entry, permit to work, stop
circulating pump, then check
- How to repair the tube leak or if can not repair the leak, what is your action, leading to EGE dry
run procedures and precautions
2. Certificates carried onboard and their validity, any supplementary, windows period, then lead
to following
- SOPEP manual, stamped first page, contents, procedures, please mention SOPEP is for shore
people use, SOPEP locker content and checks, frequency and responsible person for this
- MLC and DMLC
- IOPP then OWS
- ISPP then sewage treatment plant
3. pay attention to types of your last ship, mostly the load line survey will as per your last ship
- scope and survey period
- certificate, ILLC, stability and incline test, 3 certificate in 1 form
-purpose of LL survey
-procedures, i mentioned about superstructure, deck, engine room and duct keel,
- before you answering any question, mention the safety measures first
- cross questions about: weather tight and water tight, hatch cover weather tight check, air vent
check, emergency bilge testing, sprinker testing, EEBD, fire fighting appliances, duct keel what
u check,
4. Thats all i can remember so far, not so many subjects, but for each one going very deep, from
0825 to 1245. try to answer all the questions as a CE, more assertive.
5. As he is more interest with my answers for normal questions, and also no more time, so no
drawing.( i guess because in the beginning, he asked about how long have you prepared for oral,
i said in the past two years, i studied whenever i got time, especially drawings).

By the grace of almighty god,i cleared my class 1 orals from Mr.Zulfiqur Husain.

Systems and components for windlass and mooring winch
Pump and motor systems are used for powering deck machinery such as winches and windlasses.
Pump and actuating cylinders are normally employed for hatch covers. One or more pumps will
be used to supply the volume of fluid at the pressure required to operate one or more motors.
Pumps may be classified into two groups:
1 those with a fixed delivery when running at a given speed;
2 those with a variable delivery at a given speed.
Fixed delivery pumps can have their constant output bypassed via control valves until required or
output can be matched to requirements by incorporating a relief/accumulator, then stopping and
starting, varying speed, or connecting a variable delivery pump in parallel. Variable delivery
pump output can be controlled to give full flow in either direction, and volume output can be
varied from maximum down to zero.
Fixed delivery pumps
Constant output pumps of the gear or lobe type (see Chapter 5) are precision made to provide
high pressure with minimum back leakage. The former operate on the principle that as gears
revolve, fluid is carried around the outside
t. For general hydraulic systems where the pump delivers a constant volume of oil, speed control
of the hydraulic motor can be obtained by delivering the required amount of oil to the motor
through a control valve and diverting the remainder through a bypass to the pump suction.
. The pump discharge pressure is determined by the load. Speed and direction of rotation are
controlled by a lever operated balanced spool valve
