THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR ENGINE ROOM MACHINERY

Another excellent and useful publication prepared by the MarineInsight experts. The volume will give readers all required guidance to making and following correct operating procedures when working with the shipboard machinery. The review of the numerous maritime accident investigation reports show that the human error remains the major contributing factor for the loss of human life and property at sea.

In the meantime, the prime reasons for the shipboard accidents are handling and operational errors relating to the machinery room equipment and systems. This would typically include poor preparation and incorrect management of the various operations, lack of good technical knowledge of the equipment, and other issues. In addition, it is noted that many of the crew members working in the engine room face serious difficulties with operating the systems and can miss out some of the important steps, which eventually results in breakdowns and other problems.

The present guidebook has been written with the sole intention of its author to offer a good advice and easy-to-follow instructions covering all systems and equipment in the engine room, including main and auxiliary engines, boilers and fresh water generators, oily water handling equipment and sewage treatment plants, incinerators and separators, refrigeration plants and air compressors, AC plants, emergency generators and compressors, inert gas systems, pumps etc.
