WATCHKEEPING
Engine room is certified as MANNED and must be under watch at all times.
Watch schedule will be as follows,

1st A/E 04:00-08:00 & 16:00 – 20:00

Regular inspection of machinery shall be carried out during each watch; spaces
listed below must be checked at least once at each watch,
 Steering gear room (to be recorded in engine log book with any findings)
 Provision stores & compressors
 Funnel Casing
 Air Condition Room
 Nitrogen Generator Room (regarding safe entry procedures)
 Vent Heads around accommodation
 Funnel exhaust outlet for running machinery (day time only)

Following parameters and conditions shall be monitored properly during each watch,

 Main Engine control position shall be on bridge and main engine max RPM shall
be limited acc to sea and engine conditions. Any alteration on Main engine RPM limit
setting shall be first consulted to Chief Engineer.
 Main engine L/O pressure and filter diff pressure, As there is no stand-by start for
main engine lubricating oil pumps, parameters for lubricating oil must be under
supervision at all times.
 One of the Aux engines shall be at St-by mode and stand-by Aux Engine shall be
on MGO in case blackout caused by any failure at HFO module. This will not applied if
all three engines are running during port operations. All three shall be on HFO while
running. As there is no auto load sharing and frequency adjustment, such parameters shall
be checked and adjusted manually.
 Stern tube aft seal tank level
 Refrigeration system and room temperatures
 Bilge levels
 Sounding of all double bottom tanks including cofferdams shall be checked once
a day
 Soot blowing of economizer shall be carried out at 3 rd Eng. watch, only while ship
is sailing first consulting bridge to ensure there is no cargo transfer or tank cleaning in
progress.

Upon completion of each watch “handover of watch” form shall be filled and
filed. Any ongoing transfer or abnormality in any machinery must be clearly described to
taking-over team.
Watch keeping engineer is solely responsible for engine room during his/her
watch period and any test/maintenance which need to be carried out in engine room must
first informed to watch keeping engineer.
 During watch period, watch keeping engineer and oiler shall not carry out any
work outside engine room and shall not be occupied by any task for a long period in
engine room. Periodical inspection of machinery must be ensured.

ENERGY CONSERVATION
All engineers shall pay attention to energy conservation and fuel save.
Unnecessary operation of high power machinery shall be avoided. Number of running
generators shall be kept at minimum regarding safe load of DG sets. Heating of fuel
storage tanks shall be done during voyage via waste heat economizer and aux boiler shall
not be used for HFO storage tank heating while WHB not in operation as applicable.
Proper communication and attention shall be assured for deck operations to prevent usage
of excessive air or steam which can cause high fuel consumption.

CALLING CHIEF ENGINEER

Watch keeping engineer must call Chief Engineer whenever feels in doubt for any
machinery or given task without hesitation. But also shall keep in mind that presence of
chief engineer in engine room does not relieve watch keeping engineer from his/her
duties.

 Any failure on main propulsion system
 Any failure on aux engines
 Any failure on boilers
 Any failure on cargo pumping system
