Few topics that are important for Bashar Sir

*MARPOL annex 1 and 6 details. Annex 6 chapter 4 regulations.
*Drydock. Specially of Rudder and propeller.
*Read as much as you can about Rudder and Propeller. Observe the questions he asked in the past few
days about Rudder and Propeller.

names

What I think is Bashar sir prefers the answer 'Dont know' to a question than beating about the bush.
The best part of attending Oral to Bashar sir is he makes the atmosphere comfortable around you. This
has helped me a lot to calm down and think of answers to the question.
Thank you.

1. Framo Hydraulic Pump (From top plate to submerged Centrifugal pump),
2. Pressure transmitter
3. Level transmitter
4. AVR
5. Boiler safety valve
6. Maneuvering diagram

Description of diagrams, Explain maneuvering diagram in details, Explanation of Principal of capacitance

type level probe, what are the two plates of variable capacitor, how output is created, Overhead crane
maintenance, overhead crane break-holding test, documentation after unit overhaul, PMS, starting air
line red hot action while vessel approaching port, III code, MSW, and some other regualtions may be, I
even can't recall, pump room safety and other related counter questions I can't remember.

Other questions includes common questions for Oral.

My suggestion: Please ensure you have drawn good quality drawings (Better not with free hand) and
have positive attitude with clear basic. Better to make sure you have read manuals and books rather
than chotha.

Obaid basir sir

Master informed you ship grounded. what is your action.
How do you know propeller grounded or not.
How do you know shaft or propeller deformed or not at this condition
Starting air line red hot..action..you cannot stop engine..whatbis your action in this condition..
Air bottle survey preparation...
Fusable plug
How air bottle can get hot
What you do if you found pitting corrosion in air bottle
What are the checks to be carried out inside air bottle
Why copal varnish is used..

Sir was not satisfied with my answers..but sir explained me many things regarding the mindset i should
have during study..sir told me to emphasis on learning not passing...He told that we guys are lacking in
guidance regarding preparation..Thats why our answers are not arranged in the chronology that
suppose to be.
My fault i told that i will check the condition of the Er bottom floor for any damage
Sir told you shouldn’t go as you have subordinates, you should stop engine first from the engine
room,then send others for checking,infrom CE..
Normally in grounding the bottom stucture are not damaged so you should check the condition of the
DB TANKS..TURN the turning gear to check the condition of the engine..if not turning do not turn untill
ship afloat..
Air bottle survey no need enclosed space permit..
Pitting corrosion -you can use the bottle with reduced pressure.. By setting the air compressor setting..
My opinion is that i tried to take preparation as i need to say lot info..try to take preparation that you
can say from your common sense as well. But i think examinee should be relaxed and take proper
sleep before exam..
