Yup on the knots, but don't forget the "fisherman's knot" Very important.

Thank you very much for your answer! I assume this is the same for no matter what ship you're on (being a self-unloader, a steamship, or a fishing vessel).

bowline, clove hitch and slip knot will get you by most of the time.
However, if you can't tie a knot tie alot.
