ASM Interview
ASM Interview
Which elements need to be considered when making stowage planning for 4 kinds
of cargoes.
- Check if vsl can load these cargo (COF, Coating manual and any restriction)
- Check compatibility of these cargo using usCG compatible chart
- Check vsl stability, strength, intact and damage stability in each leg
- Check if vessel meet all requirement for each cargo (heating capacity, venting
requirement, safety equipment..
2. COF (IBC) Tripatite agreement (MEPC II)
- Cert of fitness
- MEPC 2 : provisional categorization of liquid substances in accordance with the
Marpol annex 2 and IBC code
- International code for construction and equipment of vessel carry chemical in
bulk
3. Where to get information of each cargo.
- MSDS
- USCG chemical data for cargo transfer by shipment
- Tank cleaning guide
- IBC/BCH code
- Tripartite agreement

30. Primary venting & secondary venting (Setting pressure in Non- inert, Inerted, Vapor
return line).
- Primary venting : PV valves (200 kpa/ - 3.5 kpa)
- Secondary : pressure sensors in each tank and cargo monitoring sys and alarm sys
in ccr (non-inert :220 kpa/-3.8kpa; inert : 220 kpa/1kpa; vapor return line :
pressure 90% pv v/v, vacuum :inert 1.0 kpa, non-inert :-3.8 kpa)
31. Hydraulic jockey pump purposes.
- Maintain possitive pressure in hydraulic sys in order to prevent hydraulic oil from
contaminated by cargo
- Prevent cargo pump from ingress of cargo
- Recirculate hyd. Oil so that seperate air from oil
32. Purging cofferdam of Framo pump instructions.
- Shortly before loading
- 1-2 day after loading : if leakage found, purge this pump every day
- Shortly b4 disch
- Shortly after disch
- For long voyage, if no leakage found after loading, purge at least every fortnight
(14 days)
- Check cofferdam open or blocked
- Record quantity of leakage (cargo, Hydraulic oil, water condensate)
- Evaluate the result : - for cargo 0,5ltr/day is normal, 2 ltr /day pump should be
purge a couple of times daily and inspected for reason of leakage./// for hydraulic
oil: 0,25ltr/day is normal, higher is abnormal, pump should be inspected for
reason of leakage.
33. Safety parameters on ECDIS ( how to set on ECDIS).
- Shallow contour= ship draft
- Safety contour = draft + ukc + squat - Ht
- Safety depth = draft + ukc + squat - Ht
- Deep contour = 2* draft
- Look ahead > 3 nm
34. Which notices when passing the safety contour.
- Keep caution, keep vsl well clear of safety depth
- Check depth on echo sounder
- Monitor vessel position continuosly
35. Scamin, Catzoc .
- Scamin (scale minimm) : filter function of ecdis, will disappear some information
which is considered as not important while user zoom in order to reduce the
clutters on display
- Catzoc(category zone of confidency): indicates the accuracy of information due to
condition of surveys
36. Requirements of SOLAS for lifeboat( conventional or Free fall)- drill, launching….
- Life boat drill : monthly, within 24hr of ship leaving port if >25% of crew change
- Launching : conventional 3 months, free fall 6 months
37. Risk assessment, safety culture, PMS, toolbox talk.
RA
- Identify the hazard
- Analysis risk
- Assess the risk (risk is combination of frequency and severity of consequency
- Action control the risk (remove the risk or reduce the risk to as low as reasonably
practicable.
Safety culture
- DO RA prior to work (with all members of team)
- Safety meeting, tool box meeting prior to work
- Work permit
- Assign works to proper crew esp. work require experient
- Carry out training for crew on safety procedure
- Carry out training for crew on correct procedure to perform the critical job (cargo
gear, ballast ,cargo valve sys, mooring arrangement…)
-
38. Ship shore safety Checklist ( code A, P, R).
- A : any procedure and agreement should be in writing in the remark column,
signature of both party is required
- P : in case of negative answer, operation should not be carried out without
permission of port authority
- R : items should be rechecked at interval as per declaration.
39. Which are important notices need to exchanged with Loading master in SSSCL.
- Procedure for hose connection/disconnection, loading/disch, venting requiment
- Loading /disch rate at all stage of cargo ops
- Communication method (primary and back up)
- Emergency signal and shut down procedure
- Any special requirement of tmnl
- Maximum wind speed for cargo operation.
40. How to deal with unsafe acts ( LFI, Reflective learning).
- Stop ops immediately
- Investigate the direct cause/root cause
- Take corrective action
- Draw the learning lesson
