MEK (GENERAL): 1.

LPG and gas tanker is which type: Full pressurised Semi pressurised Full refrigerated All of the above 2. Fuel oil transfer from tank to tank, what is necessary? Inform chief officer as reqd for trim calculation Follow oil transfer checklist Perform regular check on sounding/ullage All of the above 3. On opening sounding pipe of a tank, sound is heard, it indicates: Tank is partially filled Tank is completely filled Tank is overflowing Lowering of liquid level due to consumption by system 4. TLV (threshold limiting value) for exposure to gases (some type, dont remember) 10 hrs work daily, 70 hrs work weekly 8 hrs work daily, 40 hrs work weekly 10 hrs work daily, 50 hrs work weekly 12 hrs work daily, 60 hrs work weekly 5. Thermostatic steam trap works due to: Orifice present Flashing of liquid Pressure difference (Dont remember :P) 6. Centrifugal pumps are generally used for cargo pumps coz: They are cheap They can be easily installed They have high discharge pressure They have high discharge rate 7. How is water recirculated from drum to drum in D type boiler? By circulating pump Due to difference in densities between water and steam (dont remember) 8. Purpose of compensating ring in air reservoirs To provide mechanical strength To compensate for manhole doors Etc (not sure about the options) 9. Boiler water pH being 6 is unacceptable because it is: Acidic Neutral Highly alkaline Acceptable

10. The pressure in boiler lower drum compared to higher drum in a 2 drum system is Higher Lower Twice Same 11. Water is filled to which drum in a 2 drum boiler system? 12. In gas tanker, inerting is not done by: Nitrogen taken from shore Inert gas produced from boiler exhaust From combustion generator exhaust SSEP: 1. Limitation of expansion ratio of high expansion foam is: 600:1 800:1 1000:1 1600:1 2. No of lifebuoys in vessels more than 200m in length: 14 12 18 24 3. Economic Development Zone as mentioned by UNCLOS extends up to how many NM? 50 12 24 200 4. A nations power to take action with regards to safety due to pollution by a vessel is marked out by: Marpol 73/78 UNCLOS ISM London Convention MEP: 1. Not used in ships hull for the purpose of serving as anode: 2. Purifier rpm low due to worn out: Thrust bearing Friction pad the pumping action Motor bearing All of the above 3. Gun metal composed of? 4. Pump thats rotation can be reversed without affecting Centrifugal p/ps Gear p/ps

Ans: Cu

Centrifugal and Gear p/ps Reciprocating pumps 5. Mild Steel corrosion cannot be prevented by: Ans: exfoliation 6. F.O. viscosity showing 20, steam pressure is 4 bars (the max. press. sustained by heater tubes), vessel in bad weather and both fo heaters in use. Steam can be provided at 17 bars by adjusting the steam pressure regulating valve. What should be done: Do nothing Reduce load of m/e Increase steam pressure to 17 bars Change over from FO to DO

I have collected these set of questions from my paper (the ones those were new to me) and produced them from memory so the language may be a bit different and also some options may be missing. I have tried my best to provide the maximum here and shall upload more questions once am done with the orals, since I will need time remembering them and jotting them down. Thanx. www.facebook.com/iSaptarshi Cheers and all the best
