TASK: FAMILIAR WITH CORRECT WAY OF USING ALL PRECISION INSTRUMENTS
Carry out the zero correction of all micro meters under 2/E charge and record.
Attach the proof
On-board we have the micro meter of “0 to 25 mm” scale. And for the zero correction we have to classify the error first
in two categories.
➢ Negative error:
In the negative error zero of the moving scale lags the zero of the main scale.
For zero correction the negative error that we will get is to be
“ADDED” from the reading.
The micrometre screw gauge is used to measure even smaller dimensions than the Vernier callipers. The micrometre
screw gauge also uses an auxiliary scale (measuring hundredths of a millimetre) which is marked on a rotary thimble.
Basically it is a screw with an accurately constant pitch (the amount by which the thimble moves forward or backward
for one complete revolution). The micrometres in our laboratory have a pitch of 0.50 mm (two full turns are required
to close the jaws by 1.00 mm). The rotating thimble is subdivided into 50 equal divisions. The thimble passes through
a frame that carries a millimetre scale graduated to 0.5 mm. The jaws can be adjusted by rotating the thimble using
the small ratchet knob. This includes a friction clutch which prevents too much tension being applied. The thimble
must be rotated through two revolutions to open the jaws by 1 mm.
The micrometer screw gauge
In order to measure an object, the object is placed between the jaws and the thimble is rotated using the ratchet until
the object is secured. Note that the ratchet knob must be used to secure the object firmly between the jaws, otherwise
the instrument could be damaged or give an inconsistent reading. The manufacturer recommends 3 clicks of the
ratchet before taking the reading. The lock may be used to ensure that the thimble does not rotate while you take the
reading.
The first significant figure is taken from the last graduation showing on the sleeve directly to the left of the revolving
thimble. Note that an additional half scale division (0.5 mm) must be included if the mark below the main scale is
visible between the thimble and the main scale division on the sleeve. The remaining two significant figures
(hundredths of a millimetre) are taken directly from the thimble opposite the main scale.
Both are same, since the micrometre having the screw and ratchet arrangement at the end it is often called as screw
gauge
• Zero Error: It is the difference in value (Error value) of measuring instrument obtained by measuring a known
value (mostly zero) & comparing with the reading shown in the device. It can be either a positive value or a
negative value. This value has to be added or subtracted with the actual reading during measurement.
• Least Count: It is the least possible value of a measuring instrument which it can measure. (0.01 mm)
TASK: VESSEL GARBAGE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Photograph of garbage drums which comply with companies' garbage management plan.
The Master is the designated persons in charge of carrying out the plan. He is assisted in this respect by the following staff that
will be responsible for their respective departments.
Garbage generated on board should be separated and collected in accordance with procedures laid down in the garbage
management plan in nine distinctly marked receptacles as follows.
Processing equipment’s:
1) Comminuter: Ships operating primary beyond 3 nautical miles from the nearest land are encouraged to use comminute
to grind food wastes to a particle size capable of passing through a screen with openings no longer than 25 mm.
2) Incinerator: MARPOL Annex VI prohibits the incineration of MARPOL Annex I,II&III cargo residues, related contaminated
packing materials,PCBs, Garbage contaminated with more than traces of heavy metals and refined petroleum products
containing halogen compounds.
Plastics must never be incinerated on board even if the incinerator is certified to do so. And the use of shipboard garbage
incinerator in ports in or near urban areas is prohibited on our company’s vessels.
Disposal:
It is recommended that ships use port reception facilities as the primary means of discharge for all garbage.
Although disposal to sea is conditionally permitted by MARPOL Annex V for food wastes, cargo residues and certain types of
operational wastes.
1) Food waste:
In special areas: disposal of comminuted or ground food wastes at sea is permitted provided vessel is 12nm or more from the
nearest land and en route.
In other areas: comminuted food wastes may be discharged to sea provided vessel is 3nm or more from the nearest land and
en route.
2) Cargo residues:
In special areas: Cargo residues not contained in wash water are prohibited from discharge to sea in a special area. cargo
residues contained in wash water may be discharged to sea in special areas provided they are not harmful to the marine
environment, the vessel is 12nm or more from the nearest land and en route, both ports (departure & arrival) are within the
special area, the vessel will not transit outside the special area between those ports and there are no adequate reception
facilities available at either port.
In other areas: cargo residues contained or not contained in wash water may be discharged to sea provided they are not
harmful to the marine environment, the vessel is 12nm or more from the nearest land and en route.
3) Operational wastes:
In special areas :Cleaning agents and additives in cargo hold wash water, in deck and external surface wash water may be
discharged to sea provided they are not harmful to the marine environment and the vessel is not in a special area.
In other areas: Cleaning agents and additives in cargo hold wash water, in deck and external surface wash water may be
discharged to sea provided they are not harmful to the marine environment and the vessel is12nm or more from the nearest
land and en route, both ports (departure & arrival) are within the special area, the vessel will not transit outside the special
area between those ports and there are no adequate reception facilities available at either port.
Record keeping:
It is required to maintain a GARBAGE DISPOSAL BOOK (QMS-34) and relevant entries should be made. Vessel should get
receipt/ statement from garbage collecting service when delivering garbage ashore and this statement should be kept in the
log book and shown to authorities upon request. The statement should include a breakdown of the categories of garbage
disposed of ashore. When disposing hazardous waste materials should be specified on the receipt. Hazardous waste
manifest is to be maintained in EMS-02 for each port.
Describe how you would dispose off OWS Coalescer filters and oily soot water.
Used OWS Coalescer filters are to be dried and kept in garbage area, and land to the shore reception facility in the next
convenient port.
Oily soot water generated after the Boiler/ Economizer washing has to be stored in a soot collecting tank and can be
pump out in mid sea by diluting it with sea water and through the process of eduction.

Describe the process and documentation to enter an Enclosed Space including Risk Assessment, Gas freeing and Entry
Permit.
- Prior to entry into enclosed space, enclosed space permit is to be completed and signed by the responsible officers.
- Bridge is to be informed prior making any such entry.
- Proper risk assessment is to be carried out and senior officers to brief the team involved about the procedures, risks
and actions to be taken in case of an incident.
- The enclosed space is to be properly ventilated with blowers for at least 1 hr or depending on the capacity of enclosed
space. Once, the senior officers are satisfied with the duration of ventilation, a gas meter is to be lowered to check the
percentage of oxygen and the presence of other toxic gases, if any.
- After satisfactory inspection, at least a 2 member team may proceed after establishing walkie talkie communication
with a person outside the entrance and with OOW.
- One person is to be always posted outside the enclosed space entry
- Man entry in tank to be posted in front of the entrance.
- After inspection or work is completed inside the enclosed space, the team is to evacuate from the enclosed space and
inform OOW immediately that the job is completed.
- Throughout the operation, at least one set of SCBA is to be kept at the entrance in case of any emergency.
Enclosed Space
An enclosed space is one that:
i) Has limited openings for entry and exit;
ii) Has inadequate ventilation; and
iii) Is not designed for continuous worker occupation.
Examples of such spaces are- cargo spaces, double bottoms, fuel tanks, ballast tanks, cargo pump rooms, cargo
compressor rooms, cofferdams, chain locker, void space, duct keels, inter-barrier spaces, boilers, engine crank cases,
engine scavenge air receivers, CO2 rooms, battery lockers, sewage tanks, air bottles, adjacent connected space, e.g.
cargo space access ways.
Risk Assessment
Risk assessment is very much essential before enclosed space entry permit issued. It is carry out for-
i) there is minimal risk to the life or health of person entering the space then or at any future time;
ii) there is no immediate risk to health and life but a risk could arise during the course of work in the space or;
iii) the risk to life or health is immediate.
Risk assessment is done to reduce all kind of hazards, human health and unknown dander. Risk assessment is very
crucial for safety of the crew, safety of the cargo and ship as well as safety of the environment.
Gas Freeing
Prior entering for checking atmosphere of the enclosed space it need to gas freeing, because enclosed space is oxygen
deficiency space along with carbon monoxide and toxic gases ( H2S,Benzene ) enrich, explosive atmosphere. So before
entering to this space gas freeing is very important to reduce risk. After gas freeing enclosed space entry for checking
the atmosphere must follow company policy and wear SCBA and carry portable gas detector which is calibrated before
using and take the readings at three different levels.
Entry permit
Pre entry checking is made after stopping gas free fan for 10 minutes. After checking the atmosphere authorised
officer report to Master and he also ensure whether the blanking, valve shut and locked, electrical isolation is done
prior to enclosed space entry. Master analysis all the safety measure he issued a enclosed space permit.
Atmosphere should be
➢ Oxygen (O2) > 20.
➢ Hydro Carbon(HC) < 1% (LEL)
➢ Carbon monoxide < 0 pp
➢ Hydrogen sulphide(H2S) < 0
➢ Benzene(C6H6) < 0 ppm
➢
This entry permit is only valid for 8 hours
Write a safety briefing to all staff on the safety in storage, handling & use of chemicals & gases on-board
1. Third engineer is responsible for storage, handling and issuing for consumption of all Chemicals. Material safety data
sheet for chemical should be referred before handing for possible health, fire and explosion hazards, first aid measures,
physical and chemical properties, personal protection etc. Third engineer to record chemical consumption details in
chemical log sheet.
2. HANDLING AND STORAGE: Acids and alkali's should not be stored together. Chemicals should be stored in closed
containers only. Containers cap should be properly closed and sealed after use. Containers of chemicals may be
hazardous when emptied. Since empty containers retain product residue (vapor, liquid, solid), all hazard precautions
given in MSDS must be observed. All necessary precautions should be taken for accidental spill/release of chemicals
due to rough weather.
3. HEALTH HAZARDS: Read MSDS sheets for chemical carefully for potential health hazards. Use safety goggles/face
shield and skin protective gear before handling chemicals. Chemicals can cause permanent eye injury, skin
burn/damage, skin disease. Swallowing/inhalation of chemicals may be harmful or fatal. Eye and skin contact must be
avoided. Do not inhale vapors/mist of chemicals while mixing or using. In case of Inhalation/skin or eye contact, take
first aid measures as explained in MSDS. Move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. Flush eyes gently with
water/eye wash for atleast 15minutes. Remove contaminated clothing, wash exposed area with soap and water. Wash
clothing/shoes etc thoroughly before re-use or discard.
4. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD: Chemical vapors may be heavier than air and may travel along the ground. Chemical
vapors may be ignited by heat or ignition source. Never use welding or gas cutting torch on or near the chemical
containers. In case of fire, use extinguishing media as explained in MSDS sheet. Water may be used to keep fire
exposed container cool until fire is out. SCBA and chemical resistant personal protective equipment must be used.
5. ACCIDENTAL SPILL MEASURES: Small and large spills of chemicals to be handled as per MSDS details. Eliminate all
ignition sources from spill area. Person not wearing protective clothing/equipment should be excluded from the area of
spill. Stop spill at source and prevent spreading. Pump or vaccum transfer spilled product to clean empty container for
recovery. Provide sufficient ventilation to maintain exposure below TLV.
TASK: FIRST-AID
Give a safety briefing to all staff on rescue and first-aid to be given to a person who has suffered from electric shock/
asphyxiation
Electric Current
It can be from low or high voltage supply or from lightning. The higher the voltage of the current that flow through the
body the more extensive the burn at the entry and exit points and the internal damage. The electricity can cause the
heart to quiver or to stop- in which cause breathing will breathing will cause. Lightning may set alight and the casualty
may be stunned or killed.
Electric Injury
Often caused by faulty switches, frayed cables or defective appliances. Liquids, especially water, are conductors of
electricity so an electric appliance which is normally safe becomes dangerous if your hands are wet or you are standing
on a wet floor.
Low voltage
Office, light industrial and domestic locations
DO NOT TOUCH the casualty with hands until the electric contact has been broken.
Switch off the current at mains or meter if you can reach it quickly. If not, pull out the plug or wrench the cable free. If
you cannot brake the current, stand on dry insulating material (wood, rubber, plastic or thick layer of newspapers) and
push the casualty away from the source using a wooden stool, broom etc.
High Voltage
Power lines, overhead cables and heavy industrial locations. Contact with high voltage currents is generally instantly
fatal. Sever burnt are always present and fractures may occur if the casualty has been thrown by a muscular spasm
caused by the contact. If the casualty is still in contact or with 20 yards (18 meters) DO NOT APPROACH. The electricity
can 'arc' or jump up to 20 yards (18 meters) and kill you. Do not attempt to rescue until the power has been cut off.
Keep bystanders away.
ABC OF RESUSCITATION
A. CHECK RESPONSE:
If casualty appears to be unconscious, shake and shout 'WAKE UP'. If you get no response......Call help and continue.
OPEN THE AIRWAY-
1. Turn casualty on his back
2. Lift the jaw and till the hand to open the air way.
3. Carefully remove any obvious debris from inside mouth.
B.CHECK BREATHING:
C. CHECK PULSE:
1. Find the pulse by placing your fingers to the side of the voicebox and pressing gently downwards.
2. If you feel a pulse continue to breathe for the casualty at a normal rate; (12-16/min). Check the pulse at frequent
intervals.
3. If breathing starts, turn the casualty into Recovery Position.
4. If no pulse........
RECOVERY POSITION-
1. Turn the casualty, taking care to protect the face.
2. Less than half the chest should be in contact with the ground. The head should remain tilted with the jaw forward to
maintain the open airway.
3. Check that the casualty cannot roll backwards or forwards.
Plan a drill scenario for the ingress of toxic fumes/gas into the ER causing two ER personnel to be absent from the
muster call. Take an active part in the drill and debriefing afterwards.
Discuss how this scenario may have been avoided and what improvements could be made on the performance of the
exercise
Debriefing:
On investigation it is found that some poisonous gas pocket was created in the tank though tank is ventilated for 24 hrs
and before entering we checked toxic gas content. After checking all safety measures master issued enclosed space
permit. The tank is HFO tank so it is very chance to form H2S gas along with benzene, methane which is very dangerous
for human beings. Both person entering with portable gas detector and its working fine but they did not get time to
escape.
The drill is discussed and debriefing is carried out. All crew members encouraged to give suggestions. Thorough analysis
of the drill carried out. Factors such as location of firefighting equipment, readiness of SCBA, time required from
donning SCBA to making entry to be noted and worked upon.
S.U.N Behaviours
R.A.I.N Behaviour
Carry out complete decarbonisation of an auxiliary engine with crew assistance and write out a report giving all
essential calibrations and clearances.
Pneumatic transmitter
Make :-NAKAKITA
Trouble :-
Feedback needle of controller not responding, feed control valve remains full open.
Trouble shooting :-
1. Supply air pressure and valve control air pressure showing normal values.
2. Feedback pressure from the D.P Transmitter showing nil.
3. D.P.Transmitter purging and equalizing carried out. But still feedback pressure showing nil.
4. Checked pneumatic controller for air leakage.
5. Found Bouldon tube leaking.
Write a report on the procedures and precautions to be followed. Make a table of the impeller and bush clearances
that you have maintained.
Carry out complete overhaul of at least 2 M/E exhaust valves and check relevant clearances/ and calculate wear
down rate / 1000 running hrs.
NOTE : If the engine is of the reversible type, ensure that the roller guide is in AHEAD position.
Verify that the cross bore and the lower cut off hole are in alignment by shining a torch through the cut-off hole.
3. Turn until the upper edge of the cross bore in the plunger reaches the exact position at which it cross off the lower
edge of the lower cut-off hole.
4. Mount the measuring tool on top of the fuel pump top cover. Screw the measuring pin fully down into the threaded
hole in the top of the pump plunger. Adjust the bracket of the measuring tool until the plunger of the dial gauge is at its
middle position. Adjust the scale to ZERO.
5. Turn AHEAD until the piston is in TDC. When the exact position of the piston has been confirmed to be at TDC, either
by checking the position of the crank throw or the marks on the turning wheel, note down the reading on the dial
gauge and calculate deviation X between the ZERO position and the present position without + or – sign direct on the
scale of the measuring tool.
6. Turn the engine, while noting the position of the cam through the inspection hole. Stop turning when the roller is on
the lowest part of the cam where the roller guide, and thus the pump plunger, is in the lowest position.
(a) Read the measuring result “Y” without + or – sign direct on the scale of the measuring tool.
7. The fuel pump lead “A” and lead “B” is then calculated as follows:
A = X + K, B = Y – K
K = Adjustment factor, K = 6.8mm.
When number of shims is zero, increase one piece of shim K increases by 0.5mm.
1. Pump Down:
Close the condenser refrigerant out let v/v and cooling water supply to the condenser maintained.
Start compressor short-circuit the low pressure switch of dual pressure switch in order to pump down as much as
possible
Stop compressor when the low pressure decrease to approx 0.02 mpa and is stabilized.
Close the discharge v/v of comp. completely and then charge the refrigerant in to condenser.
Stop the cold water supply to the condenser.
3. Disassemble of c/case:
Loosen the oil plug and purge the oil and wipe off the oil from bottom of the c/case.
Remove the access cover both side.
Remove the c/case check v/v which positioned under the motor side housing by using wrench.
Remove the oil strainer which positioned under the oil p/p side by using wrench.
6. Disassemble of piston:
Removed the blind cover of motor cover, (Right angle with shaft) removed suction piping from flange (shaft way)
Loosen and removed the suction strainer (Right angle with shaft).
Extract the suction strainer (shaft way)
Loosen the bolt (M-12) and removed the motor cover, fit two guide rods with right and left symmetry, the extract
cover.
Cover is 22 kg so great care should be taken to do work, be sure to be it with more than two people.
Coil end is sticking out of inside of cover so great care should take not to damage coil end when remove from guide
rods.
Loosen the sample bolt of retainer and remove it, lock the c/case then insert stopper in c/case and catch it arm of
c/shaft. After remove retainer, extract key (catch with pliers).
Drive rotor guide rod in to the end of c/shaft and fit it.
Removed the rotor by pulling straight out rotor is heavy, so care should be taken not to drop then. Then removed the
guide rod (rotor has no screws, so catch key in vase hole extract.
7. Extracts of c/shaft:
Assembly of Compressor:
Assembled in the opposite orders of disassembly, care should be taken in the following respect when assembled.
Insert compressor must be free from rust foreign matters and burrs.
Clean new refrigerant oil applied to bearing parts, gasket and O-rings.
Be sure to tighten bolts and nuts, as for clamp torque, refer to the clamp torque table for MR Compressor. Contact care
should be taken to tighten the clamp bolts of connecting rod and rotor.
Assembly of motor guide housing - upside knock pin and kit if in c/case the fix with the bolt (care should be taken not
to make a mistake upside and down side)
Assemble of stator- this is so heavy, so great care should be taken when carryout the job, Terminals stud shall be fitted
with motor lead wire in advanced.
For ME starting system, 30 bar air from air bottle is reduced to 6-7 bar using pressure reducing valve. A relief valve is
given in the line to keep the pneumatic components to be safe. This 7 bar pneumatic line is mainly divided in to two A)
control air and B) safety air.
CONTROL AIR
When valve 100 keeps on Remote mode, the control air will lead to the inlet of valves 84 (stop), 86 (ahead), 88 (astern),
90 (start).
84, 86, 88 & 90- 3 way solenoid valves which converts electric signal to pneumatic signal.
Valve 84 get activated and control air will lead to valve 34 and outlet of valve 34 divided in to two branches.
(a) Air in the first branch will activate valve 25 which allows control air to flow through it and through valve 128 &
124. This air will keep the puncture valves of fuel pumps in open position
(b) Air in the second branch will pass through valve 23 and activates valve 117 which keeps starting air distributor to
be ready for the movement.
34- Double check valve
128- Double check valve. It combines the emergency shutdown air and the fuel injection stop air.
124- Quick release valve, which prevents the delay of air-run to fuel-run change timing.
23- Check choke valve. Normally its needle should be fully opened so that it does not delay, the cutting of the air
running. Just in case a little longer air running is necessary it is adjusted only slightly.
117- 2P3W valve. When engine starts fuel running, the air going to the starting air distributor is cut by this valve to
stop the air running.

Fly wheel starts rotating in Anti Clockwise direction
31- 2P3W valve leads the ‘start’ signal to the valve 27.
36- Double check valve
32- Check choke valve. It extends the period of main starting valve being open in order to assure the starting of the
engine.
26- 2P3W valve sends the start air to the starting air distributor when starting.
1. Valve 84(STOP) shuts and air drain off from the line. Valve 25(to puncture valve) and valve 117 (to distributor) will
get this activated. Hence starting air to the engine will stop and fuel pumps will build up pressure to open the fuel
valves.
2. Valve 90 (START) shuts. Valve 31 will get this activated and thereby control air to activate valve 27 (to main air
starting v/v opening) and valve 26 (to air distributor) will stop. Hence main air starting valve will shut and 30 bar line
will completely isolate from the engine.
3. Valve 86(AHD) shuts. Valve 10 will get this activated and control air to the air cylinder 57 and 13 will stop. Hence the
position of the fuel cam and distributor will remain in AHEAD direction.

(a) Air in the first branch will come to starting air distributor.
(b) Air in the second branch will pass through the valve 117 which is already activated by the control air from valve
84 (STOP). 30 bar air from the air distributor will pass to the starting valve of the particular unit and valve will open and
air enters the engine.
Fly wheel starts rotating in Clockwise direction
1. Valve 84(STOP) shuts and air drain off from the line. Valve 25(to puncture valve) and valve 117 (to distributor) will
get this activated. Hence starting air to the engine will stop and fuel pumps will build up pressure to open the fuel
valves.
2. Valve 90 (START) shuts. Valve 31 will get this activated and thereby control air to activate valve 27 (to main air
starting v/v opening) and valve 26 (to air distributor) will stop. Hence main air starting valve will shut and 30 bar line
will completely isolate from the engine.
3. Valve 88(AST) shuts. Valve 11 will get this activated and control air to the air cylinder 57 and 13 will stop. Hence the
position of the fuel cam and distributor will remain in ATERN direction.
Fly wheel rotates at a speed of 39 RPM in Clockwise direction.
SAFETY AIR
Safety air of 7 bar will pass through valve 16, filter 15 and reaches safety air reservoir 125 with a capacity of 20L. Out let
of the reservoir will lead to a valve 127(Emergency Stop). When valve 127 will get activated safety air will pass through
it and through valves 128 & 124. This air will keep the puncture valves of fuel pumps in open position and fuel pumps
stops pumping and Engine will stop.
16- 3 way ball valve. For ON/OFF of the safety air
127- 2P3W Solenoid Valve. In case of emergency shutdown, it leads the safety air to each puncture valve.
Indications of a scavenge fire are loss in power and irregular running of the engine, high exhaust temperatures of
corresponding units, high local temperature in scavenge trunk, surging of turbocharger, and sparks and smoke
emitted from scavenge drains. External indications will be given by a smoky exhaust and the discharge of sooty smuts
or carbon particles. If the scavenge trunk is oily the fire may spread back-from the space around or adjacent to the
cylinders where the fire started and will show itself as very hot spots or areas of the scavenge trunk surfaces. In ships
where the engine room is designed as UMS, temperature sensors are fitted at critical points within the scavenge
spaces. Activation would cause automatic slow down of the engine.
If a scavenge fire starts two immediate objectives arise- they are to contain the fire within the scavenge space of the
engine and to prevent or minimize damage to the engine. The engine must be put to dead slow ahead and the fuel
must be taken off the cylinders affected by the fire. The lubrication to these cylinders must be increased to prevent
seizure and all scavenge drains must be shut to prevent the discharge of sparks and burning oil from the drains into
the engine room. A minor fire may shortly burn out without damage, and conditions will gradually return to normal.
The affected units should be run on reduced power until inspection of the scavenge trunking and overhaul of the
cylinder and piston can be carried out at the earliest safe opportunity. Once navigational circumstances allow it, the
engine should be stopped and the whole of the scavenge trunk examined and any oil residues found round other
cylinders removed. The actual cause of the initiation of the fire should be investigated
Carbon dioxide- will put out a fire but supply is limited. Susceptible to loss if dampers do not effective prevent air flow
Dry powder- will cover the burning carbon and oil but is messy. As the fire may still smoulder below the powder care
must be taken when the scavenge doors are removed as the powder layer may be blown away.
Water spray- perhaps the ideal solution giving quick effective cooling effect to the fire.
Indications that a fire is imminent are a reduction in flow through the drains and a temperature rise in the scavenge.
This temperature rise can be detected by temperature wires or mats.
When a fire is in progress there is a slow down of the engine with the blowers surging as the fire consumes the oxygen.
Sparks are seen issuing from the drains and there is a temperature rise in the scavenge space.
To prevent scavenge fires good maintenance and correct adjustment must be carried out. Scavenge trunking must be
periodically inspected and cleaned and any buildup of contamination noted and remedied. The drain pockets should
also be cleaned regularly to remove the thicker carbonized oil sludges which do not drain down so easily and which
are a common cause of choked drain pipes. Scavenge drains should be blown regularly and any passage of oil from
them noted. The piston rings must be properly maintained and lubricated adequately so that ring blow-by is
prevented. At the same time one must guard against excess cylinder oil usage. With timed cylinder oil injection the
timing should be periodically checked. Scavenge ports must be kept cleared
TASK: TROUBLE SHOOTING - AUX ENGINE
Explain the possible causes of excessive high exhaust temperature on aux. engine and how each cause can be
corrected.What is the effect of early fuel injection on cylinder pressure and exhaust temperature?
Early fuel injection will cause cylinder pressure and exhaust temperature to reduce.
Write a Safety Briefing on the causes, hazards and remedial action to be taken in the event of M/E H.P. fuel pipe leak
to all E/R Personnel
Causes :-
1. If mating face of the pipe is not having the proper face contact, then lead to leakage. This oil will go to leak off tank.
2. If any crack on the inner sheathing of the pipe, then the leaking oil will go to leak off tank.
3. If external sheathing get damaged due to mishandling of the pipe, then pressurized oil will spray outside.
Hazards :-
1. The high pressure oil spraying out of the double sheathing pipe will fall on the exhaust manifold, it will lead to fire.
2. If high pressurized hot oil will come in contact with the human body, it may lead to burning of skin.
3. Penetration of oil in to human body is poisonous.
Remedial Action :-
1. If oil will leak from the inner sheathing, then leak off tank alarm will come, locate the leaking pipe and change the
pipe in the next convenient time.
2. If oil spraying out of the pipe, then immediately inform the bridge, stop main engine, change the pipe.
3. If ship unable to stop the engine due to traffic or weather condition, run the engine in Slow Ahead and isolate the
unit. Change the pipe after the emergency.
TASK: EMERGENCY BATTERIES
Carry out routine checks & maintenance of vessel emergency batteries for a period of one month.Write a report on
the above.
1. Visual inspection to be carried out every week. Petroleum jelly to be applied on all terminals.
2. Every week check the level of electrolyte in the battery. After several charging and discharging the electrolyte level
will reduce. If it is low, then top up with distilled water.
3. Every week check the voltage of battery and record the same. A good battery will always show voltage above its
rated voltage. Keep the battery in trickle charging mode.
4. Every month check the tightness of the terminal connections on the battery. Loose connections may lead to short
circuiting and discharging of the batteries.
5. Every month check the performance of the batteries by keeping the batteries on load without charging. Note
down the starting time, voltage, specific gravity & stopping time, voltage and specific gravity. Calculate the voltage &
specific gravity dip for a fixed time. Compare it with previous performances
6. Every month measure the specific gravity of the electrolyte using hydro meter and record the same. The specific
gravity of the electrolyte for a fully charged battery is 1260-1280 and for a fully discharged cell, it is 1220. If specific
gravity is 1180 or below, then it is considered as a dead cell. To increase the specific gravity, add dilute H2SO4. For
diluting the concentrated H2SO4, pour Acid in water. Do not pour water in to acid.

Describe the layout plan of the deck machinery systems on board and explain their hydraulic operations.
Two hydraulic systems are provided onboard. One in forward (forepeak store) and the other in aft (steering gear room)
of the ship. Each system consists of two hydraulic pumps, driven by electric motors.
In forward hydraulic system one hydraulic pump operates one windlass (WL2) and the mooring winch (MW1), the
second pump operates the hose handling crane and the second windlass (WL2). The system pressure is 22.6Mpa.
In aft hydraulic system one hydraulic pump operates only one mooring winch (MW4), where as the other pump
operates the remaining three mooring winches (MW2, MW3, MW5). The system pressure is 24.0Mpa.
Each hydraulic motors direction of rotation and speed of rotation is controlled by the flow control valve connected to
the motor.
For the operation of drums, keep the flow control valve in neutral position; engage the clutch of the particular drum,
then release the brake. Move the flow control valve handle in the required direction. Drum will start rotate. Winding of
the rope should be done as per the maker’s instruction.
Assess the condition of any main engine bearings and pin (at least 2), which are opened up for survey. State in detail
your comments on its condition.

may be continued by the ship staff.
When exchanging ballast at sea, the safety and operational information and restrictions must be taken into account at
all times.
When pre planning the Ballast exchange, the appointed officer should take into account all safety and operational
criteria and restrictions as detailed in this ballast water management plan and ensure that strength and stability will be
maintained within the allowable limits stated in the ship’s approved loading manuals and trim and stability booklets,
the loading instrument onboard could be used to verify compliance for the aspects (Longitudinal strength and Intact
stability) for which approved by the vessel’s classification.
The appointed officer should also ensure that the fore and aft draft, trim and propeller immersion are adequate for the
voyage taking into account expected weather, proximity of land, expected traffic and other navigational issues.
Bridge visibility is to be maintained in compliance with SOLAS V/22.
Each of these methods has been tested and has demonstrated results of achieving the necessary 95% (or better)
volumetric exchange of high-risk ballast water. Ballast exchanges must be conducted outside the Australian territorial
sea. It is also recommended that ballast exchanges be conducted as far away as possible from any land mass and in
water at least 200m deep.
Flow-Through Method:
At least 300% of a tank’s maximum capacity2 of clean water from the deep ocean must be pumped into each tank to
achieve an acceptable 95% volumetric exchange. Even when, at the start of a flow through operation, a tank is only
partially filled with high-riskballast water, at least 300% of the tank’s maximum capacity must still be pumped into the
tank to comply with Australian requirements. The 300% capacity is measured from when water begins to flow into a
tank. In the case of a tank that is not completely full at the commencement of a flow through operation, 300% of the
tank’s full capacity still starts to be measured from when pumping starts – not from when the tank starts to overflow.
Dilution Method:
Some vessels (mainly tankers) are fitted with extra piping / pumping arrangements. On some of these vessels, ballast
may be pumped in through one side of a tank and out through the other side simultaneously (pumping in / pumping
out - as opposed to pumping in / simply overflowing out).
This type of flushing - using two pumps - is acceptable. As for “flow-through”, at least 300% of each tank’s maximum
capacity must be flushed through for an acceptable exchange.
Flushing dissimilar tanks together does not comply with Australian requirements
Estimating the quantity of water flushed through each tank involves estimating the delivery rate of ballast pumps and
timing the hours of running of those pumps. It should be noted that pumps do not deliver their rated capacity. The
actual delivery rate of a ship’s ballast pump depends on the following factors:
-Wear and tear on pumps / pipes etc.
-Depth underwater of sea inlet (ship’s draught)
-Horizontal and vertical distance of each tank from the pump (friction / gravity)
-Vessel trim (trim by stern = pump uphill = gravity to overcome)
-Variations in ballast main diameter
SOx and particulate matter emission control apply to the fuel oil ,as defined in regulation 2.9, combustion equipment
and devices on board and therefore include both main engine aux. Engine together with the items such as aux boiler
and inert gas generators these controls divide between those applicable inside Emission Controlled Areas (ECA)
established to limit the emission of SOx and particulate matter and those applicable outside such areas are primarily by
limiting the maximum sulphur content of the fuel oils as loaded, bunkered and subsequently used on board. These fuel
oil sulphur limits (expressed in the terms of % m/m) are subjected to series of step changes over the years, regulation
14.1 and 14.4:
Outside an ECA established to limit SOx and Inside an ECA established to limit SOx and
particulate matter emissions particulate matter emissions
4.50% m/m prior to 1st January 2012 1.50% m/m prior to 1st July 2010
3.50% m/m on and after 1st January 2012 1.00% m/m on and after 1st July 2010
0.50% m/m on and after 1st January 2020 0.10% m/m on and after 1st January 2015
As required under the regulation 14, a review as to the availability of the required fuel oil was undertaken. MEPC 70
(October 2016) considered as an assessment of fuel oil availability and it was decided as fuel oil standard (0.50% m/m)
shall become effective on 1st January 2020 (resolution MEPC.280(70)).
The ECA established are:
➢ Baltic Sea area- As defined in annex 1 of MARPOL (SOx only).
➢ North Sea area- As defined in Annex V of MARPOL (SOx only)
➢ North American area (entered into effect 1st August 2012)- As defined in Appendix VII of Annex VI of MARPOL
(SOx, NOx, PM).
➢ United States Caribbean Sea area (entered into effect 1st January 2014)- As defined in Appendix VII of Annex VI
of MARPOL (SOx, NOx and PM).
