 Hello and welcome to “Marine Surveying and Engineering Fundamentals”. What will you get out this course? First of all, of course, a fundamental knowledge and understanding of marine engineering. Apart from that, you will get to know the essential marine surveying responsibilities as this is a must-know prior to commencement of any related activity.
In addition, we addressed many types of technical assessments and surveys to make you have a good coverage and better idea of what you should expect in your work. This course is for professionals who are interested in working in the world of today’s marine engineering, people in need for a good introduction to the topic of marine surveying before pursuing further education in the subject field.
Moreover, it will be very beneficial to the students and engineers who want to improve their knowledge of different parts of the vessel in general. Considering the number of areas covered by the authors of this course, this one is definitely and highly recommended.
 Nowadays, most of the vessels sailing the world's oceans are propelled by diesel engines. These engines provide maximum possible effect on a real minimum fuel oil consumption, of course provided they are given good technical care and kept well maintained.
The engineers may easily note that at the moment they are checking the current temperatures of the exhaust gases and cooling water. To make a more detailed further study of this marine diesel engine, let us leave the engineer with his instruments by the engine, and put sight glasses on the marine diesel engine from its top to bottom.
This will first of all reveal the moveable parts of the engine, namely pistons and piston rods, crossheads and crankshaft, connecting rod and many others... This video was prepared by B&W specialists and contains very useful technical information for all people dealing with the marine diesel engines.
 Welcome to this basic marine electronics course. Let us see what we are going to learn in this course. The first part of the course is about the sensors, including wind sensors, speed sensors, depth sensors and all others installed on board – what are the differences between different technologies used to build the sensors, how we are supposed to install and maintain them.
The second part of the course is devoted to the protocols and networks – so, what are the differences between different protocols used in marine electronics, why is one better than the other, what is the wiring to connect electronics, and how can the products by the different manufacturers be compared.
The third part is about the screens or displays – where to install those, differences between screen building technologies etc. After that we will move to the processors – what functions are calculated inside the processors, what is the mathematics and logic behind it, and why are they so important.
The fifth, and last, part of the course is about the onboard computers and onboard navigational software – how can we integrate our electronic systems in the computer and navigation software, why it is important and why and how it make our system a complete system, allowing us to sail safer and faster.
 FRAMO AS is located in Bergen, Norway and has long tradition as the leading supplier of the submerged cargo pumps to the world’s tanker market. FRAMO research and development department is working continuously upgrading the pump design to meet the all latest internationally recognized regulations and standards. Before you enter the cargo tank to service the pump, always close the hydro-pressure inlet valve, purge the cofferdam and familiarize yourself with the ship’s safety rules.
Also pick up the number of standard tools you will need for the service job from the FRAMO toolbox. Before you start the service job, study the cargo pump service manual carefully, description and drawings. We will now show you how to dismantle new cargo pump SD 125-5/SD 150-5. Sequence number one - dismantling the impeller and wear rings…
As you can see, these very detailed and informative video lessons prepared and officially released by FRAMO can be used both for training of the students and newcomers to the vessel, as well as for the practicing and experienced marine engineers who want to refresh their knowledge of the pumps and get a bit more technical information about these particular pumping arrangements.
 As the name of this film implies, it provides the required basic intro to the two-stroke marine diesel engines. It was prepared on the basis of the valuable input provided by Viggo A. Kjaer, professor at The RTU, i.e. Royal Technical University of Denmark. Today, the diesel engine propels half the tonnage of the whole world shipping.
Given good care, the diesel engine will provide a maximum of effect on a minimum of oil consumption. The engineer is here for that, at the moment he is checking the temperatures of the exhaust and cooling water.
His routine inspection is taking him further down to the second platform with the intercoolers for charging air. Now, he has reached the bottom where his flashlight has revealed the return piston cooling oil behind the sightglasses...
 When you join your vessel for the first time, note that it critically important for your safety to become thoroughly familiar with the particulars of the vessel, safety equipment on board, their design features and locations. One of the design features normally fitted to nearly all types of ships is the use of the powered watertight doors intended to protect the ship's hull from the risk of flooding in case of the grounding, collision or structural damage.
When closed, these doors become part of the ship's structure acting as a sort of reliable barrier for the flood water, and their strength is vital - they are built from the heavy steel requiring them to be moved by hydraulics or powered by means of the electric motors.
Watch this training video and you will get a full idea of what the shipboard powered watertight doors are, how and where they are commonly installed, what are the dangers associated with their operation in you fail to follow the correct procedure, and how to avoid the risks of getting trapped and harmed. This training will be best if watched with this booklet on same topic since they perfectly supplement each other.
 There are a great variety of ships at sea today whose many technical specifications of engineering installations. The one thing that is common to all of them is that they all require the use of water - one way or another. It may be used for steam production or engine cooling, or simply for consumption by the officers and crew. In fact, water will be used on board in considerable quantities.
Fortunately, there is always plenty of it available in the form of a sea water; they can pump it and use it straight away for washing the deck, for example. But if you try and use this water in a boiler, or for cooling your main engine, in a few days catastrophe will hit the ship - the boiler could blow up or the main engine get damaged. This is because sea water is contaminated by dissolved and dispensed solids, namely sodium chloride, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate and calcium sulphate.
These form deposits which can cause overheating and mechanical breakdown, making it unsuitable for use in boilers and in engine cooling systems, just like it is unsuitable for drinking by human being. that is why the cleaning and treatment of water on board the vessel is so important for the ship's efficient operation - and that is where chemical treatment plays a vital role by preventing internal corrosion and scaling formation...
 Located in Bergen, Norway, FRAMO has a very long tradition as the leading supplier of submerged cargo pumps to the world tanker market. The research and development department of the company is working continuously, upgrading the pump design to meet all the latest international rules and regulations. Before you enter the cargo tank to service the cargo pump, always close the hydraulic pressure inlet valve and secure it.
Familiarize yourself with the ship's safety rules. Also, pick up the number of standard tools you need for the servicing from the FRAMO toolbox. Before you start the service, study the cargo pump service manual carefully, descriptions and drawings. We will now show you how to dismantle the new cargo pump SD-200 design. Sequence number one - dismantling of impeller and wear rings - normal service conducted by the crew members on board ships...
The present video training was released by FRAMO specialists with the intention to provide the crew members of the vessels with FRAMO pump installed on board as well as servicing engineers, trainees and students with the visual aid they could use in addition to the printed technical materials, when performing the periodical maintenance of the SD-200 pumps.
