MARLIN ENGLISH TEST FOR SEAFARER
MARLIN ENGLISH TEST.
Saat ini, salah satu requirement bagi para pelaut sebelum bekerja/join pada sebagian perusahaan pelayaran asing adalah harus menjalani“Marlin test”. Minimum score Marlin test untuk Master dan Chief officer biasanya adlah 70% per section dan overall score adalah 80%. Banyak para pelaut kita yang gagal bekerja dikapal karena tidak bisa memenuhi minimum score requirement tersebut. Atas dasar inilah saya mengumpulkan berbagi soal-soal dalam Marlin test agar bisa di pelajari, dipahami dan atau dihapalkan oleh rekan-rekan pelaut sehingga dengan demikian para pelaut tidak akan mengalami kesulitan untuk menyelesaikan soal-soal Marlin test dengan hasil melebihi score minimum yang dipersyaratkan.
Dari waktu ke waktu Marlin test mengalami perubahan/update soal, namun perubahan tersebut tidak berbeda jauh dengan soal-soal sebelumnya dan model soalnya selalu begitu-begitu saja.
Sebetulnya ada rasa takut dalam diri saya untuk mempublikasikan kumpulan soal jawab Marlin test ini, karena mungkin bisa dianggap sebagai pelanggaran hak cipta. Namun dengan mengucap “Bismillahirahmanirrahim dan niat baik” saya beritikad mempublikasikanya sampai ada teguran dari pihak yang merasa keberatan.
Bagi yang baru pertama kali akan melakukan Marlin test, Saya sarankan untuk mengunjungi www.marlinstests.com dan kemudian pilih “Practice a test” sehingga akan mengetahui langkah-langkah yang harus dilakukan sebelum menjalani test.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
Spontaneous combustion can occur when packed cargoes such as coal, hemp, copra and grain are carried especially if these have been loaded in damp conditions. In the centre of these cargoes there is very little ventilationto supply a cooling effect and the natural heat generated can rise to such a degree that it causes combustion of the material. Due to the restriction of oxygen supply, this will just smolder for a considerable time until part of the cargo is removed. Then by admitting additional air, the cargo could burst into flames. Stowage of engine room stores is important since materials such as cleaning rags, cotton waste, sawdust can all cause spontaneous combustion especially if they are stored next to the various
chemicals carried on board ships.
LIFE-SAVING APPLIANCES
Lifeboats are the primary means of escape from a vessel in distress, however operations involving the lowering of lifeboats are potentially hazardous. Lifeboats must be launched and exercised in the water once every three months. If the vessel is equipped with free fall lifeboats, launches are required six monthly. It is important to maintain the lifeboats falls and davits as per manufacturer's manual. Release systems must be properly adjusted, regularly maintained, correctly operated and tested regularly. Failure to do this can lead to a malfunction of the release equipmentresulting in the boat being released prematurely or alternatively not being released. Trainingmust be carried out to ensure that all crewmembers are familiar with the correct operation of this type of equipment.
SECURITY LEVELS
The term "security levels" is used to quantify the risk of a potential security incident. There are 3 security levels:
Level 1 is considered as normal with minimum routine security measures in place.
Level 2 is where an increased risk of security incident exists. In this case there are additional security measures taken over and above those at level 1.
Level 3 is the highest level and this is where a security incident or threat against a port, port facility, or ship is probable or imminent. Instructions will normally be given by those responding to the incident and generally normal operations will stop. If the security level changes the Master will be advised by the vessel's flag Administration, Company Security Officer of the port. In turn the Ship Security Officer will ensure that all crew are made aware of the level along with their duties.
SECURITY
Threats to the security of ships and crews are always present, whether it be theft, stowaways, piracy, terrorism, bomb threats or drug smuggling. The security of the ship is in the interest of everyone on board. The ship has a security plan which gives the SSO assistance in organizing effective security and practical guidance in procedures and precautions. A Ship Security Officer is appointed onboard and is responsible to the Master for all security issues and for conducting regular security training on board for the crew. Everyone on board has a duty to ensure that the vessel is kept as secure as possible and that any suspicious activities, persons or packages are reported immediately to the SSO.
DANGEROUS MATERIALS AND GOODS
Many materials used on board ships have health and safety implications for personnel handling them. All dangerous materialsare only to be used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Chemicals must always be handled with great care and personal protective equipment utilized. This equipment is to consist of eye protection, rubber gloves and an apron. Care is to be taken not to breathe chemical vapors. Proprietary eye wash liquid is to be available as a first aid measure to remove chemicals from the eyes.
EMERGENCY PARTIES
An Emergency Party is selected from the most suitable officers and ratings on the ship. Usually several emergency parties are formed, such as Bridge Party, Engine Room Party, First Aid Party and Fire-Fighting Party. Regular alarm testing must be used as an opportunity for all on board to learn to recognize the signal for activating the emergency team. This is particularly important where confusion may arise from different alarms. Suitable locations are to be designated for the Emergency Parties to muster at. They must have reasonable access to the upper deck, the accommodation and machinery spaces. The Emergency Party is to muster at a location where emergency equipment is readily available.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal Protective Equipment will not in itself prevent an accident but will help to prevent injury. Any person who may be required to wear or use protective clothing or equipment is to be properly trained or instructed in its use and advised of any limitations of its use. Protective clothing and equipment are to be issued to each employee or kept in an easily accessible and clearly marked location. Any defects are to be reported immediately. Note that items such as scarves, sweatbands, casual headgear, loose clothing, finger rings, necklaces and other jewellery can be extremely hazardous.These objects can get caught in moving machinery, power tools or when working with ropes or lines. If the necessary PPE is not available for use, work must not be carried out or permitted.
OIL SPILL
Half of all major pollution claims arise from incidents on ships that are not carrying oil cargoes spillages of bunker oil and collision account for over one third of the total number of pollution claims. All ships' personnel must ensure that all necessary precautions are taken and that proper procedures are strictly followed during all oil transfer operations. A close watch must be maintained during these operations to ensure that any escape of oil does not go unnoticed. All vessels must carry oil spill removal equipment which includes sorbents, non sparking hand scoops, shovels, and buckets, emulsifiers for deck cleaning, protective clothing, scupper plugs, portable pumps with hoses, etc. The equipment must be kept in a convenient storeroom and must not be used for any other purpose.
SAFE WELDING
If welding or flame-cutting are needed in areas other than in the workshop you should receive a Permit to Work. Where portable lightsare required to provide adequate illumination, they should be clamped or secured in position. Adequate ventilation should be provided when welding in enclosed spaces. Breathing apparatus may be needed. Welding equipment should be inspected before use to ensure that it is in serviceable condition. All repairs should be carried out by a competent person. Protective clothing including welding helmet, or goggles, leather welding gloves, leather apron and long-sleeved boiler suit must be worn by the operator. The area of work should be free of combustible solids, liquids or gases. Suitable fire extinguisher should be kept at hand ready for use during the operation.
WORK ON ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS
Prior to work involving maintenance and testing of electrical circuits, a Permit to workis to be completed. This involves work where there is a danger of shock that could result ininjury or death. It should be remembered that such injury can be caused at voltages as low as 60V. It also involves work on electrical circuits of any voltage where there is a risk of flammable vapors being present. This will involve all work outside the main accommodation block and machinery spaces on vessels carrying dangerous cargoes. Care is to be taken to isolate the equipment at source wherever possible and to follow the Lock-out/Tag-out procedures.
MEDIA
During serious incidents many telephone calls may be made to the ship. The Master must clearly identify the caller before passing on any information. Unauthorized callers must be referred to the Company for information. The media in particular will persist in trying to obtain as much information as possible. Only the Master must speak to them. Information passed must only be the minimum necessary and is to be factual. Information, which is found to be misleading, can be very damaging to the management of the incident. The Master must ensure that no other Officer or crewman speaks to the media. At no time must anyone comment on the cause of the incident.
ENCLOSED SPACE ENTRY
An enclosed space includes tanks for cargo, ballast, fuel, fresh water, cofferdams etc. However any enclosed space is to be considered as dangerous if that space has been closed for an extended period without any ventilation. Such spaces may be oxygen deficient or be filled with toxic fumes from cargoes, fuel or even paint and chemicals. An inspection by Master and Chief engineer is to be carried out in order to identify all spaces which through lack of regular use or any other reason may be considered dangerous. These spaces are to be clearly marked with appropriate warnings, stating that enclosed space entry procedures must be followed. No person must enter an enclosed space, unless a permit has been issued by a senior officer and all precautions have been taken along with adequate safety equipment and personnel on stand-by in case of emergency.
KEEPING WATCH AT THE GANGWAY
All visitors must be asked to show identification. Details will then be entered into the visitors' logbook and a pass issued. Random checking of persons and their belongings is to be carried out as per the security plan and the security level in force. Personal checks can be assisted by the use of a hand-held metal detector. During a check any weapons or anything that could be considered as suspicious or looks unusual should be treated as a security alert. If in doubt request the advice of the Officer of the Watch or the Ship Security Officer. If the person refuses to allow his bags suspicious then they and their baggage must not be allowed on board. If a visitor refuses to show his identification or if you suspect the identification document to be false you should contact the Officer of the Watch or the SSO.
RISK ASSESSMENT
Risk Assessment is a relatively simple task and is a careful examination of potential hazards during onboard activities. During this examination, precautions already in place can be identified and decisions made as to whether additional precautions may be required. The aim is to prevent at least minimize the chances of accidents or incidents.Assessments are required for all critical operations on board. An operation which may be considered as "routine" with minimal risk in normal conditions may present a higher risk where conditions change, for example bad weather or machinery failure. Day to day operations are to be included as well as all other critical operations including unusual or infrequent tasks.
STOWAWAYS
Stowaways are usually desperate people trying to flee their country due to political unrest or war. They hide onboard and can create many problems but if discovered they should be treated with reasonable respect andconsideration. Stowaways can board in any country but are prevalent in West Africa, Central America and in places where there may be political problems. To assist checking for stowaways a checklist is to be used for routine and final inspection. The checklist contains all spaces where a stowaway could possibly hide. Crews are urged to carry out through searches of hard-to-reach positions on the ship.
FIRE PREVENTION
Nearly all fires which have happened on board ships could have been avoided. Fire-fighting on board is difficult and dangerous owing to the confined areas in which the fire may be tackled and restricted means of escape. These difficulties and dangers can be greatly reduced with the regular exercising and training in the drills. Good housekeeping in all areas of the ship is essential for fire prevention. Strictly observe smoking regulations. Private electrical equipment is only to be used if the equipment is type approved. When such equipment is not in use they must be switched off and disconnected from the power source. Laundry equipment is to be switched off when not in use. Spillages of oil, paint, solvents or other flammable liquidsare to be cleaned up immediately and rags disposed of correctly.
HOUSEKEEPING
Good housekeeping is important for safe work on board. All areas must be kept clean, dry, free of rubbish, and free from slipping and tripping hazards. The right tools should be used for each job, and they must be kept in good order. To avoid any accidents tools, materials, spares and other supplies should be stowed securely and correctly. When you work it is necessary to have sufficient lighting. All alleyways, escape routes and emergency’ exits must not be obstructed. If there are some leaking pipes or fittings any leakage should be traced and stopped. Any spills must be cleaned up immediately. Oil soaked rags and other flammable materials are potentially hazardous and must be disposed of in fireproof receptacles.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Anyone on board who discovers an emergency must first activate the nearest alarm switch. He must ensure that the Deck Officer on duty is informed without delay as to the nature and location the emergency, and then proceed to his Emergency Station. In the case of a minor fire, after the alarm has been raised, an attempt should be made to tackle it with minor fire appliances. In case of a more serious fire, doors should be shut and the area secured before evacuating it. All alarm signals are shown on the Muster List. It is essential that all crew members are aware of the meaning of the various alarm signals in use on board. In all cases, signals are to be backed up with information on the ship's public address system, where fitted.
CONFINED SPACES
When entering confined spaces, the atmosphere may be dangerous to health or even fatal. It may be
deficient in oxygen and may contain flammable or toxic fume vapors. A competent person should make an assessment of the space and a responsible officer should be designated to take charge of the planned operation. It is vitally important to identify the potential hazards. The space must be prepared and secured for entry and the atmosphere inside should be tested. No sources of ignition should be taken into the space. In all cases, rescue and resuscitation equipment should be positioned ready for use at the entrance to the space. A system of communication should be agreed and tested to ensure that any person entering the space can keep in contact with the person stationed at the entrance.
MOBILE PHONES AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
There is a strong possibility of shipboard electronics malfunctioning because of interference caused by the use of mobile telephones. This can be potentially very dangerous. Sensitive equipment such as fire alarm and gas detection systems are particularly prone to interference from other electronic equipment. Masters are required to identify the critical areas on the vessel and ensure a sign is posted regarding restrictions on the use of portable phones during critical periods. Areas where restrictions may be necessary include: the navigation bridge and the engine control room during maneuvering; and the cargo control room during cargo operations in the vicinity of the steering gear.
SECURITY ON BOARD
Practical measures must be taken to reduce security risks. Before entering ports, Masters must remind their crew about their own personal security both on board and on shore. Every crewman must ensure that his/her cabin is kept locked. When in port, a good gangway and deck watch must be maintained. Access to the ship must be limited one point whenever possible. Rope ladders, including pilot ladders are not to be left over-side. Regular checks all round the ship are to be made with attention to the off-shore side as well as the shore-side. Watchmen must carry torches and must keep in radio contactwith the officer-of-the-watch.
WORKING ALOFT
Special precautions should be taken when working aloft. Where possible, staging or a ladder should be used and secured firmly. A safety harness and lifeline must be used. If possible a safety net should be rigged. Tools should be carried up in secure containers or belts specially designed for carrying tools to prevent them falling and causing injury to anyone. The area below the work site should be roped off with warning signs stating that people are working aloft. Care should also be taken when working aloft that tools are placed securely to prevent them dropping on anyone. Hazards should be identified, such as the ship whistle, radars, antennae, which should all be isolated while aloft and "Do not operate" signs should be placed on them.
GARBAGE DISPOSAL
Under Annex V of the MARPOL Convention, garbage includes all kinds of food and domestic and operational waste generated during normal operation of the vessel.
A Garbage Management Plan is obligatory on board the ship. This plan is adapted to meet any ship-specific requirements. Each new member of the crew must receive full instruction and training in the management of ship’s garbage and waste. This is to include collection, separation, processing, storage and disposal. The Garbage Management Plan is reviewed regularly to ensure that it remains effective.
The Garbage Disposal Record must include information with regard to when garbage isdischarged into the sea, To reception facilities ashore or to another ship, when garbage is incinerated and any accidental or exceptional discharge of garbage.
