三幅船员面试英语及面试问题总结

就船上的值班和所承担的任务分工来看，三副也是甲板部非常重要的职位。

但是，考虑到三副毕竟在船上的工作时间不会很长，经验也不会很多，所以考官对三副的问题一般不会很复杂，主要是集中在职位范围内的一些问题，如救生、消防设备的维护和保管、吃水的测量、应急反应、值班时应注意的问题等等。

也可能会问及《国际安全管理规则》（ISM）以及《公司安全管理体系》方面的知识和问题。

有些公司的三副可能还要承担一些二副的工作职责，所以，三副也应该参考一下二副的问题。

1. Can you tell me about your educational background and working experience as a seaman?For example: I graduated from Dalian Maritime University in July 1999. Since April, 1999, I began my seamen career. I have worked on two ships. On the first ship, I worked as a deck cadet for 10 months. On the second ship, I worked as a 3/O for nearly a year.2. Can you tell me about your last vessel?My last ship was a general cargo sailing globally, but mainly from European ports to the US and Canada port. I worked on that vessel for 13 months as third officer.3. What are your responsibilities as a Third Officer?(1) To perform sea watches and cargo watch, from 0800~1200 and 2000~2400 hours(2) To assist the Chief Officer in supervising cargo handling operation(3) To measure the draft at the discretion of the Chief Officer or the Master(4) To assist the Master on the bridge with anchoring and mooring and unmooring operation is underway(5) To inspect communication systems and important items related to the navigational system and other department before leaving port or shifting anchorage(6) To maintain the life-saving appliances and fire fighting equipment and make records in the maintenance log and inventory book(7) To do some paper work and other jobs assigned by the Master4. When do you call the Master to the Bridge?If the master were not in the bridge room, according to some rules and my experience, I would call the master to the bridge under the following circumstances.When I do not know the correct actions to take.When the giving away vessel does not give away as a rule and cannot get into contact with it. When navigational equipment fails to respondWhen receiving the distress callWhen navigational marks are missing or in the expected time, and did not see the marksWhen the depth sounding do not have expected resultWhen entry into heavy traffic, low visibility areasWhen main engine speed decreases or breakdownWhen approaching the poor visibility areasAnd when the vessel is in danger and I am not sure how to react.5. Who is responsible for the LSA and FFE equipment on board a ship?LSA means Life Saving Apparatus; FFE means Fire Fighting Equipment. The Third Officer is responsible for the maintenance of all these apparatus. The maintenance records should be logged.6. How often and what do you inspect the lifeboats?Usually I inspect and test the important parts of the lifeboat on a weekly basis. My checking points include attachment to the hull, lifeline, handrail, and the condition of rudder, fuel oil tanks, freshwater, and food and so on. After checking, I make records in the maintenance book and log book.7. What actions should you take while you find fire in the cabin?I should sound the fore alarm first, and then inform the bridge, the engine room and the Master immediately. And I will use the portable fire extinguisher to put out the fire the soonest possible if the fire is not that serious. The same time, I shall watch the fire carefully and wait for the fire-fighting team assistance. When the fire fighting team is in their respective position, I will come to my position on the Fire Muster List.8. What do you know about ISM code? What are DOC and SMC?For answer to the first question, please refer to the Questions and Reference Answers for the Master.DOC means Document of Compliance. It is issued to a shipping company by a classification society or a maritime administration. SMC means Safety Management Certificate. It is issued to a ship by a classification society or a maritime administration.9. Why must you check the compass error between the gyro and magnetic during the watch?The duty officer should check the difference between the two compasses at least every hour. If significant error between magnetic and gyrocompass is found, compasses must be adjusted and corrected immediately. If there the gyrocompass breaks down, I shall immediately report it to the Master.10. How do you check the ship’s position when you keep the anchor watch and which way is the best?I can use three ways i.e. Radar fixing, GPS fixing, landmark fixing to get the vessel’s position and define the anchor position. But I think the best way is radar fixing because it is more precise and reliable. For the sake of safety, instead of using only one means, all the other ways available should be used. At the same time, lookout is still very important.11. What preparations should you make in anticipation of the PSC inspection on board the ship?I should check very carefully the FFE and LSA to make sure they function well. I should also make sure that all the logs and records of the FFE and LSA and the drills are available for inspection.12. How do you check the CO2 System?The CO2 system is the fixed fire fighting system. I do the checks according to the checklist. First, the date of last service, CO2 pipelines and bottles should be checked. The air blow test should be carried out to make sure that the system works well enough. Certificates also need to be checked to make sure they are up-to-date. The weight of the CO2 in the bottles should be tested at regular interval.13.

But watch-keepers are not allowed to drink any alcoholicbeverage 4 hours before their watch. Anyway, I shall refer to the SMS manual of the company to get some more detailed regulation in this regard.15. When RADAR, ARPAR and other positioning system are in use, does the use of these apparatus relieve your duty of look-out as a watch-keeper?No, the working of these apparatus does not relieve the watch officer of his duty to maintain a proper look-out at all time. You can not depend on the machines too much. Lookout (deck watch) is always very important, especially in some passages, in side the port and in some dangerous sailing areas. Delayed actions will possibly give rise to big accidents.16. When the vessel departs the port, what preparation shall the Master do?(1) He shall make various principal calculations such as the tide, current and the time of sun-rise and sun-set that is necessary for securing safety during port entry of departure.(2) Check to see that the disembarkation of the visitors and the embarkation or disembarkations of supernumeraries in accordance with the safety management records.(3) Check to see that the deck crews are on board.(4) Prepare and check signal flags, make sure that Port Clearance and other formalities are well prepared.(5) Make sure that the pilotage and tug service are prepared.17.

When you join a vessel, what should you do first?First, I shall report to the master and familiarize myself with the Emergency Card in the cabin and the Muster Lists, and crewmen including the master the other officers and seamen on board the vessel. Second, with accompaniment of the relieved the 3/O, I shall have an inspection of those items the 3/O is responsible for. I shall discuss immediately with the master on any unsatisfactory conditions, including equipment malfunctions. I shall also take over all the documents the 2/O shall take care of. Lastly, I shall prepare for getting underway. I shall test the draft of the vessel and report the result to the C/O.A good handover with the relieved 3/O is very important thing for me.20.

I should not use excessive weight for the cable.The length of the cable must be decided by the master in advance.No matter how deep the water is , at least two shackles should remain on board.26.i f water depth is more than 80 meters, is it possible for you to drop theanchor?Except in an extreme emergency situation, dropping anchor in this depth of water is very dangerous. So, if the anchor has to be dropped, the geographical condition(sea bed and adjacent area), weather condition must be carefully studied beforehand. If possible, you should have a discussion or meeting with relevant crew before the work is done.27.h ow do you keep proper ventilation during the voyage? Your ship isloaded with steel coil at constantsa in December and the cargo is to be discharged in Singapore.In order to prevent rust formation on the surface of the cargo, I mustmake sure the temperature in holds is higher than the dew point at any times. Ventilation is to be made on the condition of dew point and try to lower the dew point.Under the above situation, no ventilation is needed because the ship sails from a cold place to a hot place.28.h ow do you maintain the minimum under keel clearance (UKC) whenthe vessel during passage /in fairways/inside ports?Refer to master’s answer.29.i n case of cargo damage (for example, before the vessel arrives at thedischarging port, when opening the hatch, you find the quality of the surface cargo has changed), how do you handle it?Well, I have to know the quantity of the cargo whose quality has changed. If the cargo is a small quantity, I shall dispose it myself. If it is a large quantity, I shall ask for decision from the master.30.w hat are sensitive cargoes as defined by the P&I club/the cargoes that are particularly susceptible to moisture and damage are called sensitive cargoes. For the sensitive cargoes, special attention shall be required. The P&I CLUB defines the following cargoes as sensitive cargoes: cement, grain, and sugar.31.h ow do you judge whether the cargo holds are fitted for loading?According to the requirements of the voyage instructions or the charter party, I shall first see if it meets the charterer’s demands. ThenI will make my own judgment . if the holds are not suitable for loadingany type of cargo, I shall report this to the master and ask him to decide on this.32.c an you please briefly explain the general requirements for grain cargocarriage?1)hold preparationthe hold should be very clean and free from scale and odor. All bilges should be clean and dry. The tank top should be clean, stainless and dry. The front and rear sides of the brackets and beams, piping etc. should be completely washed and clear of all residues and dust from the previous cargo. And if the ship carried grain in the previous voyages and insects are found in the hold, the holds should be fumigated with insecticide.2)ventilationgrain can self heat, condense and absorb moisture. Without good ventilation, the cargo can easily deteriorate. In case of bulk grain, air is to be blown to the surface of the grain continuously on a daily basis in order to remove the air from the cargo. The temperature of the cargo shall be tested by thermometer on a daily basis and be recorded in the logbook.3)for detailed answer, please refer to the IMO grain rule.(IMORESOLUTION A.714 CODE OF SAFE PRACTICE FORCARGO STOW AGE AND SECURING.)33.h ow to conduct ventilation for hygroscopic cargo from warm to coldarea voyage, and from cold to warm voyage? How about the non-hygroscopic cargo?In case of carrying hygroscopic cargoes from a warm place to a cold place, ventilation is very critical. It should be as strong as possible in the beginning so that eventually the outside dew point will be too low.This is a very difficult voyage situation in which to arrange satisfactory ventilation. From cold to warm voyage, the ventilation is not necessary.In case of carrying non-hygroscopic cargoes from a cold place to a warm place, no ventilation is needed, and cargo sweat would occur on the surface of the stow if relative warmer moisture laden air was admitted. From the warm to the cold voyage, no ventilation is needed because ship sweat is inevitable but cargo will be unaffected unless condensation drips back on the stow.34.h ow to prevent cargo from being damaged by rain or seawater?Before the voyage, I will check the hatch cover to see if it is properly closed that tight water condition is in good order. To make sure suction boxes and manholes are properly closed; to check the bulkhead of adjacent ballast tank.35.w hat preparations should you make before the pilot comes on board?Preparation should be made in the following steps:First, the duty officer is to contact the pilot station to confirm the availability the pilot;Second, the master is to contact the coming pilot and discuss with him the vessel’s heading position and speed at the time of his boarding;Third, the duty officer should supervise the embarkation and disembarkation of the pilot to ensure his identity and safety;Fourth, the pilot ladder must meet the standards of the USCG and the IMO;Fifth, the deck crew is to prepare the ladder well and hoist the G flag; Last, when the pilot is on board, H flag should be hoisted.36.w hen you pass through the PANAMA canal, what should you payattention to? Why?The turn of bilge radius should be made known to the pilot. According to the regulations, the turn of bilge radius of the vessel cannot be over12.04 meters in the fresh water area. No bilge water is allowed to bepumped.As a precaution, we should check with the MR notice and apply for correction if on time. We should also prepare for the safety inspections by the boarding officers.Seven days before the ship’s estimated time of passing by the canal, we should report to the canal authority on the vessel condition.37.w hat material and information do you need when you make thepassage plan?The passage plan shall contain all the charts required and shall locate all the information concerning the intended area. The information needed for the passage plan shall be found from the sailing direction, list of lights, tide tables, tidal stream table, guide to port entry, deep draft vessel planning guide, the IMO ship route guide, guide to tanker port, various ports’ information booklets, government and port regulations, navigational warnings, pilot charts, notice to mariners, weather information, and so on.38.do you often change the ballast water? What should you pay attention to when changing the ballast water?Yes. The ballast water change is required by most port authorities in the world.Ballasting and de-ballasting on time is very important to keep the stress of the vessel in good condition. Under heavy weather conditions, it is necessary to test the ballasting and bilge water more often to make sure of the stability of the vessel.39.what should you pay attention to when the vessel is loaded with coal? Trimming is very important to make sure that the cargo is evenly loaded. Since coal is liable to get fire, you have to make sure that the deck is free from any source of fire. Fire-fighting equipment should beavailable at any time. Air in the cargo space should be regularly checked. Bilge water should be tested systematically to see whether there is any water leakage.Ventilation is not allowed during the voyage. Reasonable ventilation is to be carried out when the cargo temperature is above 55 degrees centigrade or the methane concentration is abnormal.Also, you have to measure the cargo temperature at least once every day . if the temperature and methane are abnormal, I will report to the owner for instruction.40. what are the function of a B/L? what is a clean B/L and what is unclean B/L?A B/L has three important functions. It constitutes evidence of the terms of the contract of carriage—a promise to carry and deliver the cargo. It constitutes the apparent order, condition, and quantity or weight of goods at the time of shipment. It is also a document of title(property) of the cargo.A clean B/L is one on which there is not any remark of cargo loss, shortage or damage. An unclean B/L is also called claused B/L, which carries some remarks of cargo damage, quantity shortage and so on.41.what is back dated or anti-dated B/L? what is advanced B/L?A back dated B/L is a B/L whose issuing date is earlier than the virtual loading completion date. An advanced B/L means a B/L that is signedand issued by the carrier before the completion of loading. Both backdated and advanced B/Ls will bring some dangers and liabilities to the shipowner and charterer.42.what anti-stowaway precautions should you take before the vessel sails from a port?Before departure from any port, stowaway search has to be carried out. The following spaces shall be searched thoroughly: void space, chain lockers , funnel, and other places where the stowaways can hide themselves.If stowaways are discovered before the ship sails, arrangement has to be made for his immediate disembarkation. Records have to be made in the ship’s logs and the company should be notified. Necessary steps should be taken to prevent any further reoccurrence.43.who should not be allowed to have the shore leave at the same time? Refer to master’s answer.44.what is the maximum book alcohol concentration (BAC) rate on board?Refer to master’s answer.45.what kind of garbage cannot be thrown into incinerator?The following garbage cannot be thrown into the incinerator:.any containers that once contained gases under pressure, or aerosol cans; .the materials that may produce harmful gases or ashes;.the materials that may produce high temperature and prolonged incineration of such materials that may cause damage to the incinerator. 46.what should a muster list include? What kind of muster lists did you have on the last vessel?Refer to master’s answer?47.what is heavy weather condition? Under heavy weather conditions, what preparations should you make before sailing?I think heavy weather means weather conditions of wind force of 8 or above on the Beaufort scale and wave height of greater than 5 meters. Refer to master’s answer no. 5348.the same as 47.49.if the stevedores damage the crane, derrick or any other equipment on board, what should you do?Firstly, I shall ask the duty officer have a careful supervision when the stevedores are loading and unloading cargo and ask the duty officers to report to me any incident or any damage the workers have done to the vessel equipment.If equipment damages occur, usually, I will see how serious the damage is, if the damage is serious, I shall report to the master immediately. If the damage is not very serious, I shall ask the stevedore company to make repair . at least, I shall ask the stevedores to acknowledge their liabilities. But anyway, I shall not allow the stevedore workers to leave the vesseluntil the damage is settled properly.50.before and during dry-docking for the vessel , what should a chief officer do?The chief officer shall prepare a detailed repair list for the approval of the master and the company, adjust the proper trim as per the dock’s requirements and make out a safety procedure before drydocking. The chief officer should also make an assignment plan for the deck officers and crew during drydocking. When the repair work is being done, the chief officer should have a good supervision on the jobs and ensure safety of the workers and the seamen.51.how do you balance the interests between the ship owner and the charterer?Sometimes , the crew are heavily pressured in the circumstances: the charterer just pushes the master to catch time, but there will be no time for the maintenance and repairs for the vessel. But I know that the charterer is very important to the ship owner, so good relation with the charterer is very important to both the master and the ship owner.52.what do you know about BC Code?The BC Code refers to the IMO Bulk Cargo Code. In this code, bulk cargo operation procedures are stated. This is a very important manual and the chief officer must study it with care and follow the instructions in the Code at work, especially when he makes the stowage plan.53.how should you deal with the garbage on board the ship?See the master’s answer no.61.54.what should a turnover/handover of watch be deferred or postponed? Usually, under the following situations, the turnover can be deferred or ever postponed: 1)if the officer on watch has reason to believe that the relieving officer is obviously not able to carry out his duties effectively;2)when bridge maneuver is taking place, turnover of watch must be deferred until the action is completed and the ship is in a safe condition for the relief of the watch to take place.55.under what situations should you as the officer on watch reduce the ship’s speed? Can you give some examples?The OOW should not hesitate to use engine to reduce the speed for safety. Some examples are:1)when the ship meets restricted visibility; 2)when the ship is in heavy traffic area; 3)when the ship is in a close quarter situation.56.what actions should be taken when restricted visibility is encountered or expected?The following actions should be taken: 1) call or notify the master;2)stand by engine and sail at safe speed; 3) switch on the navigational lights; 4)switch on and sound fog signals; 5)switch on ARPA and radar; 6) shift to manual steering for maneuver; 7)post additional lookout.57.what precautions should be taken 12 hours before arrival at or。

My checking points include attachment to the hull, lifeline, handrail, the condition of rudder, fuel oil tanks, fresh water, food and so on. After checking, I make records in the maintenance book and log book.7. What actions should you take while you find fire in the cabin?I should sound the fire alarm first, and then inform the bridge, the engine room and the Master immediately.

If there the gyrocompass breaks down, I shall immediately report it to the Master.10. How do you check the ship’s position when you keep the anchor watch and which way is the best?I can use three ways i.e. Radar fixing, GPS fixing, landmark fixing to get the vessel’s position and define the anchor position. But I think the best way is radar fixing because it is more precise and reliable. For the sake of safety, instead of using only one means, all the other ways available should be used. At the same time, lockout is still very important.11.

First, the date of last service, CO2 pipelines and bottles should be checked. The air blow test should be carried out to make sure that the system works well enough. Certificates also need to be checked to make sure they are uptodate. The weight of the CO2 in the bottles should be tested at regular interval.13.

Anyway, I shall refer to the SMS manual of the company to get some more detailed regulation in this regard.15. When RADAR, ARPAR and other positioning systems are in use, does the use of these apparatus relieve your duty of lookout as a watchkeeper?No, the working of these apparatus does not relieve the watch officer of his duty to maintain a proper lookout at all time.

Delayed actions will possibly give rise to big accidents.16.
