We should encourage the students from the institutions, just for their benefit at least for those who are going to sail.

Perhaps mnemonics? Like a memory aids, i think it will be useful for people taking orals/ or for students taking their exams.

Sharing my experiences below,

    1) Check your pump suction & discharge pressure

Both rotary cup type and pressure fuel jet type.

    Prior to port, make sure your boiler can be fired, else you’re gonna be in trouble.

    After overhauling, the gaskets to be fitted tight thus all the nuts must be tighten properly. If not the gasket will burst from the high pressure air. Double check and tighten to make sure.

Basically its accumulation of the assets which in turns generate us passive incomes. And when passive incomes exceeds our expenses, we no longer slave to survive to pay bills and day to day expenses.

But choose a company to sail with doesnt just necessary look at pay alone.
