1.During change of tide in port, what are the most important things you have to watch out for?

当遇到海潮变换的时候，哪些方面该引起你的注意？

The most important things I have to watch out for are the safety and condition of the accommodation ladder, mooring lines and rat guards.

2.Please explain how you prepare the pilot ladder.

请说说如何备引水梯。

I must rig the ladder well clear of overboard discharges.

I must make sure the ladder rests firmly against the ship's side.

I must lay the manropes and prepare a lifebuoy and a heaving line for the pilot.

At night, I must prepare lights.

3.What will you do if you find fire in the cargo hold?

发现货舱失火该怎么办？

If I find fire there, I will sound the alarm right away. I will not try to deal with the fire without raising the alarm unless it is very small. I will close the ventilation, manholes and hatches until the firefighting team arrives.

4.What should you do in case of steering failure?

转舵失效怎么办？

If the transmission system between the bridge and the steering gears breaks down, I will report it to the duty officer or the Master immediately, put the steering wheel amidships and transfer steering to the emergency steering position. I will immediately hoist the signal for a ship not under command.

5.When the vessel is ready to depart from a port, what do a helm-man need to do?

I should start the steering gear, check the helm wheel, hang up the signal flag in the day time, inspect the navigation lights at night, clean the glasses around the bridge and some other work.

6.When you are on the gangway watch, what should you pay attention to?

当你在舷梯上观察时，你应该注意什么?

I should ask the visitors be to careful when they are stepping the gangway ladder, identify and write down the vessel visitors on the record sheet.

对访船者进行身份识别和登记并告之他们注意安全。

Second, I should pay attention to the gangway safety and do adjustment (drawing in or give out the gangway length) at a tidy port to avoid collision.

注意梯口安全，根据天气和海浪情况及时收放梯子。

Third, check the mooring line regularly.

定期检查系缆绳。

Fourth, when he vessel takes in freshwater, I shall take regular examination to prevent overflow.

船舶加淡水时要定期检查，以防溢水。

Fifth, when another ship is berthing alongside the vessel, I should report to the duty officer on time.

若有另一条船停靠在我船边上，及时向值班驾驶员汇报。

Sixth, I should check whether the rat guards have been properly placed on the mooring lines to prevent the rats from coming on board.

检查系缆绳上是否放置了防鼠板。
