Selection of engineers for watch-call duty is carried out at the OCP, and all available
engineers, whether on duty or not, may be called to the ECR in the case of an
emergency. ..

Machinery Watch responsibility may be changed from the ECR to the Bridge, and .-

back to the ECR.

1.2.2.3 On The Bridge

Facilities are provided for indicating and accepting the transfer of Machine Watch
responsibility to/from the Bridge.

When the Bridge is on machinewatch,one or more engineersmustbe on call, and the

general alarm signal previously describedwill call them to the ECR if an alarm
condition arises. The visual alarm data on the Bridge panelconsistsof singleor group
alarm indicators. When an alarm is acknowledged in the ECR, or cleared, appropriate
indications are given on the Bridge panel. Note that the DC C20 system prevents the
Bridge from assuming watch responsibility if there are no engineers on watch-call
duty.

The Bridge personnel may call the engineers on-duty from their quarters at any time,
for consultation etc., and an indication of the acknowledgement of such calls is
provided.
If the Bridge personnel are not on machinery watch, alarm indications can still be
provided, and indicators show when an alarm has been acknowledged in the ECR.

1.2.2.4 In The Engineers' Quarters

,
The alarm indicationis presentedin the sameway in the Engineers'Quartersand the
Bridge panel.

If an engineerhasbeenassignedto on-call duty (from the ECR), the alarm signalwill

causea buzzer to sound and a lamp to light, both in his cabin and in the general
quarters. He would then normally go to the ECR to find the cause of the alarm. If he
does not acknowledge within a specified time, the alarm signal is repeated in the
Engineers' Quarters, and on the Bridge, until he does acknowledge it. '

Similar indications (buzzer and lamp) are provided to call an engineer to the Bridge or
the ECR when no alarm conditions exist.
