Thank you so much man , just one more question, does the magnetic compass inside some of FFB have a lamp inside that need to be checked for proper function, or the light coming from the other luminations inside the FFB is enough ?

[@SailorVikas]

Noted

[@agamyasharma4033]

have not seen this kind of cusion... one more question.. why not spreader is found in embarkation ladder... even whis is located forwad for life raft?

[@SailorVikas]

Spreaders provide stability to the ladders when they are in contact with ships hull, but for fwd and aft area, our hull is curved, that prevents the spreaders to be effective, also embarkation ladder if used will be used for once itself during Abandon ship, but pilot ladder is regularly used as pilots safety is utmost important.

[@SailorVikas]

What is cusion ?

[@ashok7940]

very informative video.can you please make video on devices used to launch or recovery like bowsing tackle , recovery strops, falls,tricing pendant. thanks in advance

I went to inspect one life boat today I couldn’t saw the RR tape as per your video description.. Eagerly waiting for your answer

[@sunilms3019]

What is the answer please??

[@sunilms3019]

What is the answer please??

[@SailorVikas]

How old is your ship, and what is not complying ? Distances Between or size of RR tape ? Normally third mates stick RR tapes on top of old RR tapes, they don't renew by removing old one.

[@sunilms3019]

No it’s terminal lifeboat at Kuwait.. new boat

[@sunilms3019]

Yes distance between rr tapes

[@vikaskalkal1994]

what is the need of quarterly , 6 monthly or 5 yearly inspection, since we are doing all inspection in monthly inspection

[@SailorVikas]

Few of the checks adds up in quarterly , 6 monthly and 5 yearly inspection thus we need to do and also we have to comply with flag state requirements of inspection at all times.

[@Lifeatsea393]

What is the ventilation requirement for enclosed life boat ?

[@arshkapadi6689]

What is the difference between lifeboat drill and abandonship drill?

[@SailorVikas]

Lifeboat drill you will lower the lifeboat ..... abandon ship drill will not lower .. only explanation and duties revived Abandon ship drill has to be carried every month and within 24hours after the crew change

[@aliyusufkhan4568]

Sir thank you so much for these videos...can u please make a video on 2nd mates exam...like how to prepare for 2nd mates and similar things... thank you once again ❤️

[@SailorVikas]

Thanks mate, well noted.

[@reetbhattacharya7907]

Sir I have a question... Where can I find the variation and deviation of a compass? Please reply... Thank you

[@SailorVikas]

Variation is of location and not compass, variation you can find from chart and also from GPs and ECDIS ENC, Deviation you can find from deviation table which is supplied by yard and after 1 year , ship crew have to make another deviation card by turning a ship and noting down mangnetic heading and deviation of compass at every 15degrees ( assuming variation is known)

Sir one more question ... What knot do we use at the end of mooring ropes?

[@SailorVikas]

Can u pls elaborate in what context you asking ? Is it passing mooring rope to shore while mooring ?

[@reetbhattacharya7907]

@@SailorVikas I think generally we use figure of 8s but can we also use a bowline to attach the rope to a fixed object ..ex pillar?

Nope. Bowline not to be used to secure with ex pillar. Possibly figure of 8.
