Machinery Operating Manual 1. Never continue to operate any machine or equipment which appears to be potentially unsafe or dangerous and always report such a condition immediately.
Introduction General
Part five gives operational emergency procedures for the use of essential machinery. Part six deals with the ship’s internal communication systems.
Although the ship is supplied with shipbuilders’ plans and manufacturer’s instruction books, there is no single handbook which gives guidance on operating complete systems as installed on board, as distinct from individual items of machinery. The purpose of this manual is to fill some of the gaps and to provide the ship’s officers with additional information not otherwise available on board. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the other plans and instruction books already on board and in no way replaces or supersedes them. Information pertinent to the operation of the Maersk Ramsey has been carefully collated in relation to the systems of the vessel and is presented in two on board volumes consisting of DECK OPERATING MANUAL and MACHINERY OPERATING MANUAL. The Deck Operating Manual is designed to complement Marpol 73/78, ISGOTT and Company Regulations. The vessel is constructed to comply with Marpol 73/78. These regulations can be found in the Consolidated Edition, 1991 and in the Amendments dated 1992, 1994 and 1995. Officers should familiarise themselves with the contents of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, such that they are aware of the category of the cargo being carried and the requirements for cleaning of cargo tanks and the disposal of tank washings / ballast containing residues. Particular attention is drawn to Appendix IV of Marpol 73/78, the form of Cargo Record Book. It is essential that a record of relevant cargo/ballast operations are kept in the Cargo Record Book and duly signed by the officer in charge. In many cases the best operating practice can only be learned by experience. Where the information in this manual is found to be inadequate or incorrect, details should be sent to the Maersk Technical Operations Office so that revisions may be made to manuals of other ships of the same class.
2. Make a point of testing all safety equipment and devices regularly. Always test safety trips before starting any equipment. In particular, overspeed trips on auxiliary turbines must be tested before putting the unit to work. 3. Never ignore any unusual or suspicious circumstances, no matter how trivial. Small symptoms often appear before a major failure occurs.
The valves and fittings identifications used in this manual are the same as those used by the shipbuilder. Illustrations
4. Never underestimate the fire hazard of petroleum products, whether fuel oil or cargo vapour.
All illustrations are referred to in the text and are located either in the text when sufficiently small or above the text on a separate page, so that both the text and illustration are accessible when the manual is laid face down.
5. Never start a machine remotely from the control room without checking visually if the machine is operating satisfactorily.
When text concerning an illustration covers several pages the illustration is duplicated above each page of text.
In the design of equipment and machinery, devices are included to ensure that, as far as possible, in the event of a fault occurring, whether on the part of the equipment or the operator, the equipment concerned will cease to function without danger to personnel or damage to the machine. If these safety devices are neglected, the operation of any machine is potentially dangerous.
Where flows are detailed in an illustration these are shown in colour. A key of all colours and line styles used in an illustration is provided on the illustration. Details of colour coding used in the illustrations are given in the following colour scheme. Symbols given in the manual adhere to international standards and keys to the symbols used throughout the manual are given on the following pages.
Description The concept of this Machinery Operating Manual is to provide information to technically competent ship’s officers, unfamiliar to the vessel, in a form that is readily comprehensible and thereby aiding their understanding and knowledge of the specific vessel. Special attention is drawn to emergency procedures and fire fighting systems. The manual consists of a number of parts and sections which describe the systems and equipment fitted and their method of operation related to a schematic diagram where applicable. The first part of the manuals details the machinery commissioning procedures required to bring the vessel into varying states of readiness, from bringing the vessel to a live condition through to securing plant for dry dock.
Notices The following notices occur throughout this manual: WARNING Warnings are given to draw reader’s attention to operations where DANGER TO LIFE OR LIMB MAY OCCUR. ! CAUTION Cautions are given to draw reader’s attention to operations where DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT MAY OCCUR. (Note ! Notes are given to draw reader’s attention to points of interest or to supply supplementary information.)
The second part details ship’s systems, providing a technical description, system capacities and ratings, control and alarm settings and operating details. Part three provides similar details for the vessel’s main machinery control system.
Safe Operation The safety of the ship depends on the care and attention of all on board. Most safety precautions are a matter of common sense and good housekeeping and are detailed in the various manuals available on board. However, records show that even experienced operators sometimes neglect safety precautions through over-familiarity and the following basic rules must be remembered at all times.
Part four details the emergency fire fighting system incorporated on the vessel, providing information on their operation and system capacities.

2.1 Main Engine and Propulsion Systems
Turning Gear and Turning Wheel
Cylinder Cover
2.1.1 Main Engine Specification
The turning wheel has cylindrical teeth and is fitted to the thrust shaft. The turning wheel is driven by a pinion on the terminal shaft of the turning gear, which is mounted on the bedplate. The turning gear is driven by an electric motor with built-in gear and chain drive with brake. The turning gear is equipped with a blocking device that prevents the main engine from starting when the turning gear is engaged. Engagement and disengagement of the turning gear is effected manually by an axial moment of the pinion.
The cylinder cover is of forged steel, made in one piece, and has bores for cooling water. It has a central bore for the exhaust valve and bores for fuel valves, safety valve, air start valve and indicator valve. The cylinder cover is attached to the cylinder frame with studs and nuts tightened by a permanently fitted hydraulically tightened ring covering all the studs.
Frame Box
The exhaust valve consists of a valve housing with gas channel, spindle guide, and a valve spindle. The valve housing is water cooled and made of cast iron. Between the cylinder cover and the valve housing there is a bottom piece. The bottom piece is made of steel with a hardened face for the spindle seat, and is water cooled on its outer surface. The valve spindle is made of heat resistant steel and is provided with a small vane wheel on which the exhaust gas acts during operation, thus making the spindle rotate slightly.

A slotted pipe for collecting part of the cooling oil outlet from the piston for visual control is bolted in the frame box. The stay bolts, which are tightened hydraulically, connect the bedplate, frame box and cylinder frame to form a unit. To prevent transversal oscillations, each stay bolt is braced.
Description
Exhaust Valve and Valve Gear
The hydraulic system consists of an actuator, activated by a cam on the camshaft, a high-pressure pipe, and an oil cylinder for the exhaust valve spindle, mounted on top of the valve housing. The hydraulic system opens the exhaust valve, while the closing of the exhaust valve is damped by means of an oil cushion on top of the spindle.
Cylinder Frame, Cylinder Liner and Stuffing Box Air sealing of the exhaust valve spindle guide is provided.
Bedplate and Main Bearing The bedplate is divided into 8 sections. It consists of welded, longitudinal girders and welded cross girders with cast steel bearing supports. Long elastic holding down bolts tightened by hydraulic tools are used to fit the bedplate to the engine seating on resin chocks. The oil pan, which is made of steel plate and is integrated in the bedplate, collects the return oil from the forced lubricating and cooling oil system. It is provided with drains with gratings. The main bearings consist of thick walled steel shells lined with white metal. The bottom shell can, by means of special tools, be rotated out and in. The shells are kept in position by a bearing cap and are fixed by long elastic studs, with nuts tightened by hydraulic tools. The chain drive is integrated with the thrust bearing in the after end of the engine. Thrust Bearing The thrust bearing is of the B&W-Michell type, and consists, primarily, of a thrust collar on the crankshaft, bearing supports, and segments of cast iron with white metal. The thrust shaft is an integrated part of the crankshaft.
The cylinder frame units are of cast iron and are mutually assembled with bolts. At the chain drive the cylinder frame is also bolted to the upper part of the chain wheel frame. The cylinder frame together with the cylinder liners form the scavenge air space and the cooling water space. On the camshaft side of the engine, the cylinder frame units are provided with access covers for cleaning the scavenge air space and for inspection through the scavenge ports. The roller guide housings, the lubricators, and the gallery brackets are bolted onto the cylinder frame units. A telescopic pipe is fitted for the supply of piston cooling oil and lubricating oil. A piston rod stuffing box is fitted for each cylinder unit at the bottom of the cylinder frame. The stuffing box is provided with sealing rings for scavenge air and with oil scraper rings to prevent oil from entering the scavenge air space. The cylinder liner is made of alloyed cast iron and is suspended in the cylinder frame, with a low-situated flange. The upper part of the liner is surrounded by a cooling jacket. The cylinder liner has scavenge ports and drilled holes for cylinder lubrication.
The propeller thrust is transferred through the thrust collar, the segments, and the bedplate, to the engine seating and end chocks.

Fuel Valves, Starting Valve, Safety Valve and Indicator Valve
Connecting Rod
Camshaft and Cam
Each cylinder cover is equipped with two non-cooled fuel oil valves, one air start valve, one safety valve and one indicator valve.
The connecting rod is made of forged steel and provided with bearing caps for crosshead and crankpin bearings. The crosshead and crankpin bearing caps are secured to the connecting rod by studs and nuts which are tightened by hydraulic jacks. The crosshead bearing consists of a set of thin-walled steel shells, lined with white metal. The crosshead bearing cap is one piece, with an angular cut-out for the piston rod.The crankpin bearing is provided with thinwalled steel shells, lined with white metal. Lubricating oil is supplied through ducts in the crosshead and connecting rod.
The camshaft consists of a number of sections. Each individual section consists of a shaft piece with exhaust cams, fuel cams, coupling parts and indicator cams. The exhaust cams and fuel cams are of steel, with a hardened roller race, and are shrunk on to the shaft. They can be adjusted and dismantled hydraulically. The cam for the indicator drive can be adjusted mechanically. The coupling parts are shrunk on to the shaft and can be adjusted and dismantled hydraulically. The camshaft bearings consist of one lower half shell mounted in a bearing support which is attached to the roller guide housing by means of hydraulically tightened studs.
The opening of the fuel valve is controlled by the fuel oil pressure created by the fuel pump and the valve is closed by a spring. An automatic vent slide allows circulation of fuel oil through the fuel valve and high pressure pipes. This vent slide prevents the compression chamber from being filled up with fuel oil in the event that the valve spindle sticks when the engine is stopped. Oil from the vent slide and other drains are led away in a closed system.
Piston, Piston Rod and Crosshead The air start valve is opened by pilot control air from the starting air distributor and is closed by a spring. The safety valve is spring-loaded. The indicator valve allows cylinder pressure readings to be taken in service. During engine shut down when the engine is being turned on the turning gear, inspection is made at the indicator valve for any water in the cylinder. One indicator drive is fitted for each cylinder. The indicator drive consists of a cam fitted on the camshaft and a spring loaded spindle with roller, which is able to move up and down, corresponding to the movement of the piston. At the top of the spindle there is an eye to which the indicator cord is fastened after the indicator has been mounted on the indicator valve.
Chain Drive The piston consists of a piston crown and a piston skirt. The piston crown is made of heat resistant steel and has four ring grooves which are hard-chrome plated on both the upper and lower surface of the grooves.
The camshaft is driven from the crankshaft by a chain drive. The engine is equipped with a hydraulic chain tensioner, with the long free lengths of chain supported by guide bars.
The piston skirt is of cast iron and provided with bronze wear bands. The cylinder oil lubricators are driven by a separate chain from the camshaft. The piston rod is of forged steel and is surface-hardened on the running surface for the stuffing box. The piston rod has a central bore which, in conjunction with a cooling oil pipe, forms the inlet and outlet for cooling oil. The crosshead is of forged steel and is provided with cast steel guide shoes with white metal on the running surface. A bracket for the oil inlet from the telescopic pipe and another for the oil outlet to a slotted pipe are mounted on the crosshead.
Crankshaft
Governor The engine is provided with an electronic governor. The speed setting of the actuator is determined by an electric signal from the electronic governor based on the position of the main engine regulating handle. The actuator shaft is connected to the fuel regulating shaft by means of a mechanical linkage. Cylinder Lubricators
Fuel Pump and Fuel Oil High-pressure Pipes The crankshaft is of the semi-built type, made from forged or cast steel throws, and made in one part. At the aft end, the crankshaft is provided with a flange for the turning wheel. Axial Vibration Damper The engine is fitted with an axial vibration damper, which is mounted on the fore end of the crankshaft. The damper consists of a piston and a split-type housing located forward of the foremost main bearing. The piston is made as an integrated collar on the main journal, and the housing is fixed to the main bearing support. A mechanical device for checking the function of the vibration damper is fitted.
The engine is provided with one fuel pump for each cylinder. The fuel pump consists of a pump housing, a centrally placed pump barrel, a plunger and a shock absorber. To prevent fuel oil from mixing with the separate camshaft lubrication system, the pump is provided with a sealing device arrangement. The pump is activated by the fuel cam, and the volume injected is controlled by turning the plunger by means of a toothed rack connected to the regulating mechanism. The fuel pumps incorporate Variable Injection Timing (VIT) for optimum fuel economy at part load. The VIT principle uses the fuel regulating shaft position controlling parameter. Adjustment of the pump lead is effected by a threaded connection, operated by a toothed rack. The fuel oil pump is provided with a puncture valve for each cylinder, which quickly prevents high pressure from building up during normal stopping and shut down.
The cylinder lubricators, one per cylinder, are M.E.P dependent and load change dependent. They are controlled by the engine revolution in conjunction with engine load, and are mounted on the roller guide housing, and interconnected with shaft pieces. The lubricators have a ‘built-in’ capability of adjusting the oil quantity. They are of the ‘Sight Feed Lubricator’ type and are provided with a sight glass for each lubricating point. The oil is led to the lubricator through a pipe system from an elevated tank. Once adjusted, the lubricators will basically have a cylinder oil feed rate proportional to the engine revolutions and engine load. In addition the engine is equipped with a load change dependant function by linking the lubricator to the fuel rack, such that the oil feed rate is automatically increased in case of a sudden increase of engine load, such as rough sea conditions
The fuel oil high-pressure pipes are equipped with protective hoses, and are neither heated nor insulated. Any leakage from the protective hoses is led to a collecting tank with alarm.

Manoeuvring System
Exhaust Turbocharger
The engine is provided with a pneumatic, electric manoeuvring and fuel oil regulating system. The system transmits orders from the separate manoeuvring console to the engine.
The turbocharger bearing casings are cooled by fresh water with the bearings lubrication fed from the M.E. L.O. cooling circuit. An observation glass is provided on the lubrication oil outlet from the turbocharger. A dry cleaning system (compressed air 7kg/cm2) is supplied for the turbine side and a fresh water washing system for the compressor side.
The regulating system makes it possible to start and stop the engine and to control the engine speed. The speed control handle on the manoeuvring console gives a speed setting signal to the governor, dependent on the desired number of revolutions. A shut down function will stop the fuel injection by activating the puncture valves placed in the high pressure fuel system, independent of the speed control handle position. The engine is provided with a side mounted control console and instrument panel, for emergency running.
Forced Lubrication and Oil Cooling (Section 2.8.1)
The turbocharger is equipped with an electronic tacho system with pick-ups, converter and indicator for mounting in the engine control room. Exhaust Gas System From the exhaust valves, the gas is led to the exhaust gas receiver where the fluctuating pressure from the individual cylinders is equalised, the total volume of gas is led to the turbochargers at a constant pressure. After the turbochargers, the gas is led to the external pipe system.
The pipes for the forced lubrication and cooling oil system are made of steel. The main forced lubrication is led to each main bearing through branches from the main lubrication pipe located along the engine. Cooling oil is led to the telescopic pipe through branches from the cooling oil main pipe, located alongside the cooling jackets on the exhaust side of the engine, through which the oil is led to the crossheads. From there some of the oil is branched off for lubrication of the crosshead shoes and crosshead bearings and is led through the bored connecting rod to the crank pin bearing. Some of the oil is led through a pipe in the bore of the piston rod for cooling of the piston crown. The oil returns from here through the piston rod and let out through a duct in the crosshead. Cooling oil returns from the pistons via sight glasses to the main engine sump.
Gallery Arrangement The engine is provided with gallery brackets, gratings, stanchions and rails. The brackets are placed at such a height that the best possible overhauling and inspection conditions are achieved. Some main pipes of the engine are suspended from the gallery brackets. The upper gallery brackets on the camshaft side are provided with overhauling holes for stowing pistons.
Compensators are fitted between the exhaust valves and the receiver, and between the receiver and the turbocharger. For quick assembling and disassembling of the joints between the exhaust gas receiver and the exhaust valves, clamping bands are used. The exhaust gas receiver and exhaust pipes are provided with insulation, covered by galvanised steel sheeting. There is a protective grating between the exhaust gas receiver and the turbocharger.
The camshaft bearings and hydraulically operated exhaust valves are supplied with oil from a separate lubrication system. The cylinders are each lubricated by six cylinder oil injection pumps which supply oil to injectors spaced around the cylinder liners. Fuel Oil Supply System (Section 2.6.1)
Auxiliary Blower The engine is prepared for mechanical top bracing on the exhaust side. Scavenge Air System The air intake to the turbocharger takes place direct from the Engine Room through the intake silencer of the turbocharger. From the turbocharger, the air is led via the charging air pipe, air cooler and scavenge air receiver to the scavenge ports of the cylinder liners. The charging air pipe between the turbocharger and the air cooler is provided with a compensator and is heat insulated on the outside.
The engine is provided with two electrically-driven blowers. The suction side of the blowers is connected to the scavenge air space after the air cooler. Between the air cooler and the scavenge air receiver, non-return valves are fitted, which automatically close when the auxiliary blowers supply the air. The auxiliary blowers will start operating before the engine is started and will ensure sufficient scavenge air to obtain a safe start. During operation of the engine, the auxiliary blowers will start automatically each time the engine load is reduced to about 30-40%, and they will continue operating until the load again exceeds approximately 40-50%.
The fuel oil is led from the main inlet pipe through branches to the fuel injection pump of each cylinder. In order to keep the fuel oil inlet pressure to fuel injection pump constant, regardless of the fuel oil consumption during engine running, a spring loaded overflow valve is provided on the fuel oil inlet line. The fuel oil is heated to the temperature required to achieve the optimum atomising viscosity. However, prior to prolonged shut down, and after starting up from cold, the engine will be run on diesel oil in order that the high pressure lines between the fuel injection pumps and fuel injectors do not become clogged with cold fuel oil.
Air Cooler The engine is fitted with one air cooler of the mono block element type with cleaning nozzles for the air side of the cooler. A separate tank and circulating pump are supplied for chemically cleaning the air side. A water mist catcher of the through-flow type is located in the air chamber below the air cooler. Issue: 1

Machinery Operating Manual (Note ! Air pressure must be applied before the camshaft lubricating oil pump is started. This is to prevent the exhaust valves from opening too much.)
The engine is fresh water cooled, supplied by jacket cooling water pumps. The fresh water is led from the cylinder frame of each cylinder to the cylinder cover and through the exhaust valve up to a main outlet pipe through which it is carried back to the fresh water cooler. The cooling water is also led to the exhaust turbocharger from the main inlet pipe. The inlet pipes to the cylinder are provided with shut-off valves. The outlet pipes are provided with regulation valves, a pocket for a thermometer, and a deaeration cock. The deaeration pipe is fitted to the outlet manifold and led to the fresh water expansion tank. The fresh water pipes are covered with phosphatic film, ‘Parkerising’ instead of galvanisation in order to avoid reaction with corrosion inhibitors.

Procedure For Loading the Engine
Running-in
If there are no restrictions such as running in after repairs, proceed to increase the load on the engine.
For a new engine, or after repair or renewal of the large bearings, renewal or reconditioning of cylinder liners and piston rings, allowance must be made for a running-in period.
The cooling water should be preheated, but if the temperature is below 50°C allow the temperature to reach this point before increasing load.
Regarding bearings: increase the load slowly, and apply the feel-over sequence, see Checks During Loading.
Increase the load gradually to maximum speed over a period of 30 minutes.
Fuel Change Over
Checks During Loading
The engine is equipped with non-cooled, ‘all-symmetrical’, light-weight fuel valves with built-in fuel circulation. This automatic circulation of the preheated fuel (through the high-pressure pipes and the fuel valves) during engine standstill, is the background for recommending constant operation on heavy fuel.
Feel-over sequence. If the condition of the machinery is uncertain (e.g. after repairs or alterations), the ‘feel-over sequence’ should always be followed, i.e: 1. After 15-30 minutes’ running on ‘Slow’. 2. Again after 1 hour’s running. At sea, after 1 hours running at service speed, stop the engine, open the crankcase, and feel-over the moving parts listed below (by hand or with a ‘Thermo-feel’) on sliding surfaces where friction may have caused undue heating.
Stopping Stop the engine by setting the regulating lever to stop. Operations After Arrival in Port When the ‘FINISHED WITH ENGINES’ order is received in the control room: a) Switch over to control room control. b) Switch off the auxiliary blowers.
However, change over to diesel oil can become necessary if, for instance,the vessel is expected to have a prolonged inactive period with cold engine, i.e. due to:
c) Test the starting valves for leakage. d) Obtain confirmation from the bridge that the stern is clear and the ship is secure on its berth. e) Check that the turning gear is disengaged as a leaky valve can cause the crankshaft to rotate. f) Close the valve to the starting air distributor.
A major repair of the fuel oil system etc
g) Open the indicator valves.
A dry-docking
h) Change over to emergency control.
More than 5 days’ period stop
i) Activate the START button.
Environmental legislation requiring the use of low-sulphur fuels This admits starting air, but not control air, to the starting valves. Change over can be performed at any time:
During feeling-over, the turning gear must be engaged, and the main starting valve and the starting air distributor must be blocked.
j) Check to see if air blows out from any of the indicator valves.
During engine running During engine standstill
If air issues out of a cylinder, the starting valve concerned is leaking.
The starting air distributor is blocked by closing the cross-over valve. Feel sequence points Main, crankpin and crosshead bearings
In order to prevent fuel pump and injector sticking/scuffing, poor combustion or fouling of the gas ways, it is very important to carefully follow the change over procedures. Change Over from Diesel Oil to Heavy Fuel During Running See section 2.7.1
Piston rods and stuffing boxes
k) Replace or overhaul any defective starting valves. Lock the main starting valve in its lowest position by means of the locking plate. l) Stop the camshaft lubricating oil pump.
Crosshead shoes
Preparations Prior to Arrival in Port
Telescopic pipes
m) Close and vent the control air and safety air systems.
Chains and bearings in the chain casing
Decide whether the harbour manoeuvre should be carried out on diesel oil or on heavy fuel oil. The vessel is designed to run on heavy fuel at all times.
Camshaft bearing housings Change over should be carried out one hour before the first manoeuvres are expected.
Thrust bearing / guide bearing Axial vibration damper
Start additional auxiliary engine to ensure sufficient power reserve for the manoeuvre.
Torsional vibration damper
Drain off any condensed water from the starting air and control air systems just before the manoeuvre.
n) Wait a minimum of 15 minutes after stopping the engine, then stop the lubricating oil pumps. This prevents overheating of cooled surfaces in the combustion chambers, and counteracts the formation of carbon deposits in piston crowns. If the engine was run on heavy fuel oil until STOP, keep the F.O. circulating pumps running and the fuel oil preheated. The temperature may be reduced during the port stay. If the engine was run on D.O. until STOP, stop the fuel oil pumps.

Freshwater Preheating During Standstill
Fire in Scavenge Air Box
Warnings of Fire
Keep the engine preheated to minimum 50°C, unless harbour stay exceeds 5 days. This counteracts corrosive attack on the cylinder liners during startingup.
Cause
A fire in the scavenge box is indicated by:
Use the preheater for preheating of the engine. Switch off other equipment which need not operate during engine standstill. WARNING Special Dangers
If flakes of burning or glowing carbon deposits drop into the oil sludge at the bottom of the scavenge air box, this sludge can be ignited and, if very combustible material is found here, serious damage can be done to the piston rod and the scavenge air box walls. The latter could possibly cause a reduction in the tension of the stay bolts. Ignition of carbon deposits in the scavenge air box can be caused by: Prolonged blow-by
Keep clear of spaces below loaded cranes. The opening of cocks may cause discharge of hot liquids or gases.
When testing fuel valves do not touch the spray holes as the jets may pierce the skin.
2. The scavenge air box being noticeably hotter If the fire is violent, smoky exhaust and decreasing engine revolutions will occur. Violent blow-by will cause smoke, sparks, and even flames, to be blown out when the respective scavenge box drain cock is opened, therefore keep clear of the line of ejection.
‘Slow combustion’ in the cylinder, owing to incorrect atomisation, incorrect type of fuel valve nozzle, or ‘misaligned’ fuel jets
Monitoring devices, in the scavenge air space will give an alarm and operate the main engine slow-down function at an abnormal temperature increase.
‘Blow-back’ through the scavenge air ports, owing to an incorrectly adjusted exhaust cam disc or a large resistance in the exhaust system (back pressure)
Due to the possible risk of a crankcase explosion, do not stand near the relief valves, flames can suddenly be violently emitted.
The dismantling of parts may cause the release of springs. The removal of fuel valves or other valves in the cylinder cover may cause oil to run onto the piston crown. If the piston is hot an explosion may blow out the valve.
1. An increase in the exhaust temperature of the affected cylinder
To keep the exhaust resistance low, heavy deposits must not be allowed to collect on protective gratings, nozzle rings and turbine blades. The back pressure after the turbocharger must not exceed 350mm w.g.
Beware of high pressure oil leaks when using hydraulic equipment, wear protective clothing.
Measures to be taken
a) Reduce speed to SLOW, if not already carried out automatically, (see above) and ask bridge for permission to stop. b) When the engine STOP order is received, stop the engine and switch off the auxiliary blower. c) Stop the fuel oil supply.
Arrange indicator cocks with pressure relief holes directed away from personnel. Wear goggles when taking indicator cards.
d) Stop the lubricating oil supply. e) Apply boundary cooling.
Do not weld in the engine room if the crankcase is opened before fully cooled.
f) Engage the turning gear and turn the engine into a position where the affected unit exhaust valve is closed and the scavenge ports are shut off. This will assist in allowing the fire to burn itself out.
Turning gear must be engaged before working on or inside the engine as the wake from other ships in port or waves at sea may cause the propeller to turn. Also isolate the starting air supply.
g) If the fire is serious, put the scavenge air box fire extinguishing equipment into operation.
Use gloves when removing O-rings and other rubber/plastic based sealing materials which have been subjected to abnormally high working temperatures as they may have a caustic effect.
(Note! Be aware of possible thermal shock and loss of extinguishing medium through the exhaust. Do not open the scavenge air box or crankcase before the site of the fire has cooled down to under 100°C. When opening, keep clear of possible fresh spurts of flame.) h) Remove dry deposits and sludge from all the scavenge air boxes. i) Clean the respective piston rods and cylinder liners. Inspect their surface condition, alignment and whether they are distorted. If in order, coat with oil.

Maersk Ramsey j) Repeat the checking procedure and concentrate on piston crown and skirt, while the engine is being turned (cooling oil and water on). k) Inspect the stuffing box and bottom of scavenge box for possible cracks. If a piston caused the fire, and this piston cannot be overhauled at once, follow the precautions referred to in the Maker’s Manual. If heating of the scavenge air box walls has been considerable, the stay bolts should be checked and re-tightened at the first opportunity. Before re-tightening, normal temperature of all engine parts must be reestablished.
Machinery Operating Manual Every precaution should therefore be taken to:
d) When the engine STOP order is received, stop the engine and close the fuel oil supply.
1. Avoid ‘hot spots’
e) Switch-off the auxiliary blowers. 2. Detect the oil mist in time
f) Open the skylight(s) and/or 'stores hatch'.
‘Hot Spots’ in Crankcase
g) Leave the engine room.
Well-maintained bearings only overheat if the oil supply fails, or if the bearing journal surfaces become too rough (due to the lubricating oil becoming corrosive, or being polluted by abrasive particles).
i) Prepare the fire-fighting equipment.
For these reasons, it is very important to:
j) Do not open the crankcase until at least 20 minutes after stopping the engine.
1. Purify the lubricating oil correctly 2. Make frequent control analysis
To ensure proper draining of oil sludge from the scavenge air boxes, (thereby reducing the risk of fire in the scavenge air boxes), it is recommended to check (on a daily basis) that the drain lines from the scavenge spaces are clear.
k) When opening up the crankcase, keep clear of possible spurts of flame. Do not use naked lights and do not smoke.
3. Ensure that the filter gauze is always intact Due to the high frictional speed of the thrust bearing, special care has been taken to ensure the oil supply to this bearing.
Ignition in the Crank Case Cause When the engine is running, the atmosphere in the crankcase contains the same types of gas (N2 - O2 - CO2 ) in the same proportions as the ambient air, however, there is also a heavy shower of coarse oil droplets present. If abnormal friction occurs between the sliding surfaces, or heat is otherwise transmitted to the crankcase (for instance from a scavenge air fire via the piston rod/stuffing box) or, for some engine types, through the hot uncooled intermediate bottom, 'hot spots' on the heated surfaces can occur. The 'hot spots' will cause the oil falling on them to evaporate. When the oil vapour condenses again, countless minute droplets are formed which are suspended in the air. This appears as milky-white oil mist, which is able to feed and propagate a flame if ignition occurs. The ignition can be caused by the same 'hot spot' which caused the oil mist. If a large amount of oil mist has developed before ignition, the burning can cause a tremendous rise of pressure in the crankcase (explosion), which forces a momentary opening of the crankcase relief valves. In isolated cases, when the entire crankcase has presumably been full of oil mist, the consequential explosion has blown off the crankcase doors and set fire to the engine room. (Note ! Similar explosions can also occur in the chain casing and scavenge air box.)
h) Lock the casing doors and keep away from them.
Monitoring equipment is arranged to give an alarm in cases of low circulating oil pressure and/or high temperature of thrust bearing segments. Keep this equipment in tiptop condition. Feel over moving parts (by hand or with a ‘thermo-feel’) at suitable intervals (15-30 minutes) after starting and again at full load. If in doubt, stop and feel over. Oil Mist in the Crankcase In order to ensure a reliable, and quick warning of oil mist formation in the crankcase, constant monitoring is obtained with an ‘Oil Mist Detector’, which successively samples air from each crankcase compartment. The detector will give alarm and slow-down command at a mist concentration which is only a fraction of the lower explosion limit (LEL), in order to gain time to stop the engine before ignition of the oil mist can take place. Measures to be taken when oil mist has occurred: a) Do not stand near crankcase doors, or relief valves, corridors or near doors to the engine room casing. b) Reduce speed to slow-down level, if not already carried out automatically (see above.) c) Ask the bridge for permission to stop.
l) Stop the lubricating oil pump. m) Take off/open all the lowest doors on one side of the crankcase. n) Shut off the starting air, and engage the turning gear. o) Locate the ‘hot spot’. p) Feel over, by hand or with a ‘thermo-feel’, all the sliding surfaces (bearings thrust bearing, piston rods, stuffing boxes, crossheads, telescopic pipes, chains, vibration dampers, moment compensators, etc.). Look for squeezed-out bearing metal, and discolouration caused by heat (blistered paint, burnt oil, oxidised steel). Keep any bearing metal found at bottom of oil tray for later analysing. q) Prevent further ‘hot spots’ by preferably making a permanent repair. r) Ensure that the respective sliding surfaces are in good condition. Take special care to check that the circulating oil supply is in order. s) Start the circulating oil pump and turn the engine by means of the turning gear. t) Check the oil flow from all bearings, spray pipes and spray nozzles in the crankcase, chaincase and thrust bearing. u) Check for possible leakages from pistons or piston rods.

Test Routines
Introduction
The test switch may be pressed at any time after the first complete cycle. This initiates the microprocessor programme for testing the oil mist detector and is indicated by the test mode lamp being lit.
The oil mist detector incorporates self-checking routines, which operate whenever the detector is switched on.
Oil mist detection is now widely accepted as a means of providing early warning of incipient bearing failure in diesel engines. The Graviner Mark 5 Oil Mist Detector embodies electronic and electrical means of carrying out fast and accurate sampling of the crankcase oil mist, without the use of rotational mechanical parts. Principle of Operation At high temperatures the oil used for lubricating engines generates vapours. When these come into contact with the colder atmosphere in the crankcase at temperatures around 700°C, they condense into an oil mist. This situation represents the condition associated with the excess temperatures, such as those caused by main crankshaft, big end or connecting rod small end bearing defects. The ‘Oil Mist Detector’ works on the principle that oil mist density is proportional to optical obscurity. It samples the oil mist in the crankcase at a regular repetitive sequence. The sample is measured by passing it through a measuring chamber which has a light source at one end and a photo cell at the opposite end. The output signal from the photo-cell represents oil mist and is compared with threshold levels set during commissioning. If the thresholds are exceeded an alarm indicates the need for an engine slowdown and an immediate investigation of engine condition.
The programme will commence by the deviation alarm indicator being lit, and will continue by simulating a gradually increasing average oil mist density, resulting in the display building up to 100 per cent of the alarm level, at this point, the average alarm indicator will light and the main alarm relay contacts will change state. The programme now simulates a ‘flow fault’ which lights the flow fault indicator.
The only necessary routine maintenance consists of running a brief additional self-test prior to engine starting, and at least at four-weekly intervals. Provided the detector is switched on, the test is commenced by first operating the local test switch and then operating the reset switch on the detector. a) Inspect/clean air line filter at least at a minimum of four-weekly intervals. Remote testing and indications
The microprocessor memory circuit is then checked and a test is conducted on the engine slow down relay coil without actually operating it. Satisfactory completion of all tests results in the 'optical fault' indicator being lit and the fault alarm relay contacts will change state. Should the tests not be completed correctly the fault relay will not operate. If the facility to operate the test from a remote position is used, the test programme remains the same, but should it not be completed correctly it is not possible to reset from this remote position. This ensures that the oil mist detector is examined to define the fault condition. Therefore, at the end of a satisfactory test of the oil mist detector the following should be seen:
A test of the oil mist detector from the remote position should be carried out daily as follows: a) Pressing the remote test switch for a minimum of 20 seconds initiates the same test programme as the test switch on the oil mist detector. Passing of the test is indicated at the remote position by the remote main alarm and fault alarm enunciator being lit. b) The remote reset button is pressed on completion.

Maersk Ramsey The auxiliary blower stop/start facility is only available when the main engine control is in manual. A warning light is fitted to indicate the auxiliary blowers are not in automatic mode, if the blowers are OFF, main engine start is not possible. The manual/auto selector switch controls the operating mode of the blowers. The indication light START VALVE IN SERVICE means that starting of the main engine is now possible. There is also a warning light and alarm for engine direction. If the engine direction is opposite to the ordered direction in manual and local modes, this alarm is activated. There is a pushbutton for the main engine slow turn facility. Activation of this pushbutton carries out the slow turning procedure. The pushbutton CANCEL LIMITER cancels Woodward scavenging air limitation (manual control of the Woodward governor only). This would provide a faster run up time for the main engine in case of emergency, therefore this button is protected by a cover to guard against accidental operation. The pushbutton marked SUPPLY indicates the status of the supply voltage and also functions as a lamp test facility. Propulsion Control Cabinet (PCC) The propulsion control cabinet has no user accessible functions. These cabinets house the electronic modules that make up the system. These include the interface extension modules, central memory, speed relay module, input/output and control modules, relays and interconnections for the serial bus which links the various systems. The EGS2000 electronic governor directly connects to the speed relay module, the DZM 401, which is the central module in the DMS system containing the process control software.

Machinery Operating Manual Manual control from the local control station (emergency control)
Change of Control Mode Restrictions
Automatic control from the ECR
Any DMS equipment malfunction which affects any control mode change over will result in the alarm CONTROL SELECT. FAULT and a change will not be accepted.
The operating modes are changed from: The local control station: NORMAL or REMOTE The ECR: ECR-MANUAL or BRIDGE-AUTO or ECR-AUTO The DMS only has control when in BRIDGE-AUTO mode. Change of Control Modes The local control station is the operating station with the highest priority. Change over from LOCAL to REMOTE is carried out by means of a manually operated pneumatic valve at the main engine local control position. Change over from MANUAL REMOTE to AUTOMATIC is normally carried from the ECR console. Pressure switches in the main engine pneumatic system provide feedback of the control mode status. The control mode changes immediately on operation of the selector switch. The selected operating station cannot ignore its selection. Any change in control mode is shown on the bridge and ECR panels which will alarm at any change. The change from MANUAL ECR to BRIDGE CONTROL can be initiated from either location. The ‘bridge control’ button has to be pressed at the bridge or ECR control panels. The yellow LEDs in the bridge control buttons, at the bridge and ECR, will flash and an alarm will sound at the control panels. The request is then acknowledged by pressing the bridge control button: At the bridge panel, if the request came from the ECR At the ECR panel, if the request came from the bridge
The electronic governor system consists of two main parts: Pressing the bridge control button again before an acknowledgement cancels the request. Following a successful acknowledgement, the LEDs now flash green in colour.
1. The electronic governor 2. The electrical actuator The electronic components are housed in the governor cabinet in the ECR. It is connected to the propulsion control cabinet where the DMS dictates the RPM setpoint. The governor sends the electronic signal to the electrical actuator which moves the fuel rack accordingly.
The manually operated MANUAL to AUTOMATIC BRIDGE valve in the ECR is now switched to the bridge and the flashing green LEDs turn to a steady green light. The display text shows AUTOMATIC BRIDGE. If a change over is requested without prior request, the bridge control button LEDs flash yellow turning steady green when acknowledged.
If the main engine is stopped but the telegraph/control lever is not in the stop position, the text display shows the request message PUT BRIDGE TELEG. TO STOP. No control mode changes are possible until this request is fulfilled. If the main engine is running but the telegraph/control lever is put in the opposite direction, the text display shows the request message BRIDGE TELEG. WRONG WAY. The lever must be moved to stop or the correct direction. No control mode changes are possible until this request is fulfilled. Before changing over control modes the ECR and bridge control levers must be matched or a rough change of engine speed will occur. The set points must be the same value, i.e.: a LEVER MATCH. When a lever match is completed the the change over from AUTOMATIC BRIDGE to MANUAL ECR is carried out with the manual two position valve in the ECR. Emergency Control The selection of EMERGENCY CONTROL is always done directly without any previous request. The change over from REMOTE to LOCAL is by means of a manually operated pneumatic valve at the engine. The valve is installed at the main engine local control station. The selection of EMERGENCY CONTROL switches off the previously selected control mode of AUTOMATIC BRIDGE and MANUAL ECR respectively because of the two-position valve in the ECR. There are two different methods of indication and acknowledgement following the change over to EMERGENCY CONTROL : Change over from AUTOMATIC BRIDGE to Emergency Control The LEDs set within the EMERG. CTRL. buttons in the bridge and ECR panels flash yellow to indicate the change of control mode. Additionally the change of control mode is audibly signalled at the bridge panel. The display shows the text EMERG. CONTROL. To acknowledge the selection of emergency control, the button EMERG. CTRL. on the bridge panel has to be pressed. Following the acknowledgement, the LEDs implemented in the buttons EMERG. CTRL in both panels turn to steady green to indicate the new control mode.
Control and Operating Modes There are different operating modes to operate the propulsion plant: Automatic control from the bridge Manual control from the ECR
The main engine is generally operated by the engine order telegraph unit on the bridge central console. If either bridge wing is selected for control, the wing controller remotely moves the central controller by a selsyn ‘electric shaft’ arrangement. This central controller sends the signal to the DMS for processing.

Change Over from MANUAL ECR to Emergency Control
Barred Ranges
The LED set within the EMERG. CTRL. button in the bridge panel turn to steady green to indicate the new control mode. The LED within the EMERG. CTRL. button in the ECR panel is flashing yellow to indicate the change of control mode. Additionally the change of control mode is audibly signalled at the ECR panel. The display in both panels show the text EMERG. CONTROL . To acknowledge the selection of emergency control, the button EMERG. CTRL. on the ECR panel has to be pressed. Following the acknowledgement, the LED in the button EMERG. CTRL in the ECR panel turns to steady green to indicate the new control mode.
Due to certain physical principles rotary, oscillation occurs at specific speeds inside the main engine’s range. DMS takes these speeds into account and if selected will automatically convert the request to the nearest ‘safe’ position. (Note ! The speed setpoint is not adjustable within a barred range.) Limitations The DPS system, under certain fault conditions, may request a slow down of the main engine. This is achieved via the serial interface to the DMS system. The limitation will remain active until manually reset.
Operating Modes The DMS has 3 different operating modes, selection is from the bridge operating panel: Sea Mode The engine is able to accelerate through all speed ranges up to the end of the upper sea range.
In bad weather conditions, if the main engine speed reaches 105% three times in less than two minutes, the speed setpoint will be limited to 85%. The limitation will remain active until manually reset. There is also a manual limitation function available only from the ECR panel. The pushbutton RPM LIMIT will give access to a menu where the measuring value (the speed), can be adjusted.
The engine is only able to accelerate through all speed ranges up to the end of the upper manoeuvring range, if the lever is set to full ahead. Modes under CANCEL LIMITS operation All limits are overridden. Acceleration and deceleration set points are changed to faster values. CANCEL LIMITS should only be used for emergency manoeuvring. Ranges Acceleration and deceleration ramps are preset into the DMS to ensure the most efficient operation of the main engine. The total range between minimum and rated range is divided into four individual ranges: 1. Lower manoeuvring range
approx. 25 - 65% load
40 - 60 seconds
2. Upper manoeuvring range
approx. 65 - 75% load
60 seconds
3. Lower sea range
approx. 75 - 90% load
10 minutes
4. Upper sea range
approx. 90 - 100% load 30 - 60 minutes
The astern speed has only one range which has an adjustable upper limit.
System Parameters and Passwords On pressing the S3 key, the parameter list is displayed. By operating the cursor keys the number of the parameter required can be incremented or decremented. The parameters to be displayed can also be accessed by numerical setting of the number by first entering ‘0’. Pressing ENTER, then the required parameters are displayed. To release a selected parameter for resetting, the EDIT key must be pressed and then according to its security level, the adjustment is released or the password is requested. Parameters are blocked for unauthorised personnel with three password levels protecting the system: The service password The expert password
System Supervision and Fault Indication
Manoeuvring Mode
The only exception to this is in the case of a bridge or ECR telegraph potentiometer fault, whereby the system will change over from the faulty station to the functional station and remain in automatic mode at that station.
The user password
The total hardware of the DMS, as well as the peripheral components, are constantly monitored by the DMS. Because of this, it is possible to avoid dangerous situations and damage to the main engine. The telegraphs, speed sensing circuits, electronic governor, solenoid valves, internal analogue/digital and digital/analogue converters and the computer cycle (watch dog) are all monitored.
The SERVICE PASSWORD is required for changing critical parameter values such as engine speed. The service password releases the parameters for the USER and EXPERT passwords, as such this password should only be known by the commissioning personnel.
If a fault becomes apparent it will be sensed by the DMS, the result of this is an audible and optical alarm indication. Faults are indicated at the operating panels on the Bridge and ECR. The alarms are also routed as individual alarms via the serial interface, or as common alarms via contact interface to the alarm, monitoring and control system (UMS/UCS).
The USER PASSWORD is required to change non-critical parameter values
An optical alarm is always indicated at the Bridge and in the ECR An audible alarm is only indicated at the station in control. Optical acknowledgement can be done only from the ECR. According to the rules of the classification societies the system has, in the case of a control system fault, to maintain (freeze) the momentary operating condition. Therefore, in a frozen condition, the operator has to transfer control mode to a MANUAL mode. This is the only mode in which a reset can be performed.
More detailed information is available in the manufacturer’s DMS2100 user manual.
The EXPERT PASSWORD is required for changing critical parameter values. The expert password releases the parameters to the USER password.
To complete the password input the password must be followed up with ENTER. Passwords must always be four digits. After accessing the required parameter by password entry, the EDIT key must be pressed again. There are two ways to change values: 1. By operating the up/down cursor keys the value of the parameter can be incremented or decremented. 2. By numerical setting of the value by first entering “0”. Pressing ENTER completes the operation.

Maersk Ramsey ! CAUTION Because the program uses RAM for its set values, the entered value takes immediate effect. Therefore changes should only be made on a stopped engine or, if on a running engine, the values should be made step by step in small increments to avoid greatly affecting the running of the engine. PARAMETER CHANGES MAY ONLY BE DONE BY AUTHORISED PERSONNEL
Machinery Operating Manual Governor stop signal is de-energised as start valve energises. Stop valve remains energised On reaching ignition speed the stop and start valves are de-energised Fuel is injected Main air start valve de-energised one second after fuel injection, engine accelerates to required speed
Simulation Mode
If the engine fails to start or complete a slow turn, the control lever must be moved back to zero to reset the system before another start attempt is made.
This mode is used to test signals to the start valve, reversing valve, start air distributor and electronic governor.
(Note ! The reversing function always takes place prior to start regardless of the ordered direction.)
The overspeed may also be tested using this facility.
The following conditions will cause a start interlock to block the starting of the main engine:
The following conditions have to be fulfiled for the selection of simulation mode:
Main start valve blocked
4. Emergency stop/shutdown condition
Start air distributor blocked
5. Loss of automatic, manual or sensor supply
Control mode in AUTOMATIC BRIDGE
6. Blocked actuator
Access is by activation of the menu key then S4, followed by S1 for simulation mode.
7. Electronic governor fault
If the engine exceeds ignition speed but stops within 20 seconds a further start takes place, up to a maximum of 3 attempts. If the engine stops outside of this 20 second time the alarm ENGINE STOPPED is activated.
Slow Turning The slow turning is carried out automatically when the engine has been standing still for 30 minutes or more. When a slow turn is requested, the engine must then complete one and a half turns within 30 seconds.
8. Serial interface to governor lost
To simulate the engine running the telegraph must be moved ahead or astern. The simulated speed, acceleration and deceleration correspond to the normal orders. Because the engine is not actually running, several other alarms will appear, such as start failure, reversing failure etc.
10. Start valve closed/not open
Main Engine Automatic Start Sequence
12. Input start blocked (auxiliary blowers)
9. Start air pressure low
The DMS system counts the number of flywheel teeth passing the speed sensors to determine the number of revolutions achieved during this time. If the engine fails to achieve this, the “slow turn failure” alarm is activated. In this case, the control lever must be reset to zero and another start attempt made.
11. Start air distributor blocked
Automatic mode selected, control lever in stop position
13. Turning gear engaged
System checks: no start interlocks, no active relevant alarms, auxiliary blowers in auto, voltage on
14. Emergency control is engaged
If more than 30 minutes since last start, DMS initiates a slow turn, if not, DMS activates start
If the engine starts to crank but does not reach ignition speed or falls below the ignition speed,the REPEATED START alarm is activated. If a further two starts also fail then the alarm START FAILURE is activated.
At the second and third start attempts, or in the case of a CANCEL LIMITS start operation, the ignition speed is increased to enable a longer duration of applied starting air. The DMS also cancels the governors normal start fuel limitations during these attempts.
2. Line break of valves 3. Speed sensing system fault
Reverse sequence activated (see section: Reversing of the Main Engine), ahead valve energised
If no engine rotation is sensed within the maximum starting time, the start air valve is de-energised and the START FAILURE alarm is activated.
1. Control air pressure low
Engine at standstill
Control lever moves to ahead direction, speed value initiated
Three start attempts are possible. If a failure occurs during the starting sequence the following measures are activated:
The slow turn procedure may be omitted, if a quick start is required, by pressing the CANCEL LIMITS button on the operating panel. Reversing the Main Engine
Items 1.) and 11.) may be overridden by operation of the CANCEL LIMITS push button, although 11.) can only be overridden when in bridge automatic mode. A start interlock is alarmed and indicated on the bridge and ECR operating panels.
Depending on the requested direction of the main engine and before carrying out a slow turn or engine start, the DMS controls the positioning of the reversing mechanism for the start air distributor and the fuel pumps by energising the respective directional solenoid valve (even if they are still in the correct direction from previous manoeuvre). One symmetrical cam for each fuel pump is mounted on the camshaft. Selection of injection point, ahead or astern, is achieved by moving the fuel pump roller guide relative to the cam axis by a pneumatic cylinder.
On completion of slow turn all injection pumps moved to ahead or astern position, engine starts

Maersk Ramsey Each fuel pump has its own reversing mechanism including a pneumatic cylinder. However, the power of the cylinder is not powerful enough to reverse the roller guides at standstill, they can only support the movement. The roller guides will change their position during the start sequence because of the camshaft rotation, so it follows that the engine has to be started without respect to the reversing mechanism position.
Machinery Operating Manual The following items are recorded from the DMS: Date and time Bridge, ECR and emergency telegraph orders Engine speed
The emergency stops are wired with two circuits. One is wired directly to the stop solenoid on the engine. The other is wired to the electronic modules as an input and the stop solenoid as an output. This provides the correct alarms and printout etc. The location of the emergency stop activation will also be displayed.
Control mode The roller guides mechanically maintain their position and the solenoid valves are de-energised at the end of the start settling time.
Sub-telegraph orders Limitations
Restarting an Engine Already Turning in the Correct Direction If the engine is already turning in the required direction, due to drag acting on the propeller, the speed is above ignition speed and the control lever is moved in that direction, DMS will de-energise the stop valve and the governor stop signal. This will enable the fuel to be supplied to the engine. If the drag effect is too low and the engine speed is below ignition speed and the control lever is moved in that direction, DMS will initiate a normal automatic start.

A normal stop comprises of moving the control lever to zero. This will cause the DMS to energise the stop solenoid valve (a pneumatic stop signal to the fuel pump puncture valves) and set the engine governor to stop. There are also a number of ‘hard stops’. These are hard wired emergency stop pushbuttons which stop the engine directly via the DPS engine safety system. The DMS via serial interface also stops the engine using the DMS normal stop methods. After an emergency stop the engine can only be restarted by moving the main control lever to the stop position to reset the system.

2.1.3 Main Engine Safety System DPS 2100 Engine Safety System
Telegraph Order Printer TOP2100 The TOP2100 is a sub-system of the DMS system. Internal calculations from the DMS and the DPS systems are transmitted to the printer module and output to the telegraph order printer. There are parameters to control the information output to the printer within DMS and a printer test facility in the MAINTENANCE menu within DMS.
The DPS 2100 operates in parallel with the DMS system but monitors, controls and protects the main engine independently from the DMS system. The system protects the engine from inadmissible operating states, in that an alarm is not created until one of its limits is exceeded. All limits are set to values that in no way endanger the engine. Any limits exceeded are optically and audibly indicated in the ECR. Specific limits such as low lub. oil pressure, high H.T. water temperature are additionally protected by shutdown and slowdown facilities.
The DPS system receives its engine speed signal from two proximity switches mounted close to the flywheel. These switches count the flywheel teeth passing by and input the signal to the DZM module. This module calculates the engine speed for indication and protection functions etc. The two sensors enable cross-monitoring, plausibility and redundancy in case of breakdown.

Maersk Ramsey The DPS provides the following functions: Slowdown Shutdown Slowdown with subsequent shutdown The inputs on the central module DZM 401/402 for the speed measurement from the proximity switches are fixed, also the outputs for speed indication and emergency stop on overspeed are fixed. The inputs on the IOM 402 modules are freely configurable for slowdown and shutdown via parameters. On occurrence of a slowdown or a shutdown criterion, the particular function becomes active, taking the parameter setting for the input into account. Operation and indication are effected via the Operating Panel in the ECR with illuminated pushbuttons and LED displays in the engine room. The optical alarms as well as system conditions are simultaneously displayed at all places of indication (bridge, ECR, engine room). The audible alarms are given only at the place of indication from which the ship is operated (e.g. operation from the bridge). This also applies to the acknowledgement of alarm signals as well as to control functions ‘Cancel’ and ‘Reset’.
Machinery Operating Manual Automatic Shutdown
Alarm Indication and Acknowledgement
In case of an automatic shutdown, the engine is stopped immediately. The signal acts directly on the shutdown system of the main engine.
The alarms are divided into two groups:
Delayed Shutdown
2. System faults - monitoring equipment / module failure, line breaks
If a shutdown criterion occurs a pre-alarm is activated. On activation the optical and audible alarms sound and the delay time starts to count down to actual shutdown. This countdown time and the cause of the shutdown (eg: Lub. oil press. low) are displayed on the operating panels.The delay time for the prealarm can be adjusted via parameters.
All alarms are indicated audibly as a common alarm at:
The horn signal is reset on the Operating Panel by actuating the stop horn key, optical acknowledgement is possible in the alarm list only. By actuating the key for alarm acknowledgement the alarm is optically acknowledged and the ALARM LED changes to a steady light. After expiry of the shutdown delay time, the shutdown process is started and optically indicated on the bridge panel, on the ECR panel and in the engine room.
All alarms are indicated optically as a common alarm at:
Restart of the engine is now only possible after elimination of the the fault causing the shutdown and must be reset by moving the telegraph lever to stop and activation of the RESET SHUTDOWN button.
Automatic Slowdown The automatic slowdown serves to relieve stress on the engine by reducing speed . Delayed Slowdown If a slowdown criterion occurs then a pre-alarm is activated immediately. On activation the optical and audible alarms sound and the delay time starts to count down to actual slowdown. This countdown time and the cause of the slowdown (eg: cam shaft lub. oil press. low) are displayed on the operating panel. The delay time is adjustable via parameters. After expiry of the slowdown time the slowdown signal is transmitted to the DMS system. If the fault, which activated the slowdown, clears during the countdown time, the slowdown is cancelled. In the case of an emergency, the slowdown can be overridden by activation of the SLOWD. CANCEL button.
1. Engine faults - leading to a slowdown or shutdown
If the fault which activated the shutdown clears during the countdown time, the shutdown is cancelled. The display will continue to indicate an unacknowledged alarm. In the case of an emergency, the shutdown can be overridden by activation of the SHUTD. CANCEL button.
Bridge ECR Engine room space
Bridge, via DMS panel ECR, alarm on DPS panel Engine room space, at LED indicators All locations with UCS/UMS general operator stations and basic alarm panels All alarms are indicated optically as a single alarm at: Bridge, via DMS and alarm list ECR, via display and alarm list All locations with UCS/UMS general operator stations and basic alarm panels Parameters, Suppressions and Operating Values
Specific faults can exclude or include the shutdown cancel facility (available via parameters). If this button is activated after the engine has stopped a shutdown reset is necessary. If the button is activated during the countdown time the engine will keep running.
To display parameters, suppressions and operating values, first press the MENU key. This will indicate a sub menu, selection is by keys S1 to S3:
On clearing the fault which caused the shutdown, the system can be reset by moving the telegraph lever to stop and activating the SHUTD. RESET button. This also applies to an emergency stop push button activated shutdown.
S1 This key opens a list of inputs to the DPS and allows each one to be switched on or off S2 This key displays actual operating values
Automatic Slowdown Followed by Shutdown Specific faults can exclude or include the slowdown cancel facility (available via parameters). On clearing the fault which caused the slowdown, the system can be reset by moving the telegraph lever below the slowdown speed and activating the SLOWD. RESET button.
The functional sequences for a slowdown followed by a shutdown are practically identical to the procedures described above (selection and adjustment available through parameters). The only difference being that one follows another.
S3 This key opens the parameter list, as recorded in the central DZM module, for display or changes To leave a menu or sub menu, the ESC key must be pressed.

Adjustment of System Parameters and Passwords
Suppressions
On pressing the S3 key, the parameter list is displayed. By operating the cursor keys the number of the parameter required can be incremented or decremented. The parameters to be displayed can also be accessed by numerical setting of the number by first entering ‘0’. Pressing ENTER then displays the required parameter.
The operator has the option to suppress shutdown and slowdown activation by individual sensor inputs, except emergency stop pushbuttons, with this facility.
To release a selected parameter for resetting, the EDIT key must be pressed and then according to its security level, the adjustment is released or the password is requested.
The suppression list is available after pressing the MENU key followed by the S1 key. By pressing the up/down cursor keys the operator can view the sensor inputs one after another.
Parameters are blocked for unauthorised personnel by principle. Three password levels protect the system. The parameters for the EXPERT PASSWORD and USER PASSWORD are hidden, the display showing the immediate parameters above or below.
When the required sensor appears on line two of the display, the operator can suppress the slowdown or shutdown activation by pressing the S1 key. Alternatively the slowdown or shutdown activation can be re-enabled by pressing the S2 key. These suppressed or enabled states are stored in the system EEPROM. There is a suppression count table shown in the display showing the amount of sensors currently suppressed.
The SERVICE PASSWORD is required for changing critical parameter values such as engine speed. The service password releases the parameters for the USER and EXPERT passwords.This password should only be known by the commissioning personnel.
DPS System Engine Slowdowns
If suppressed however, the input will still activate an alarm at the operating panel.
The USER PASSWORD is required to change non-critical parameter values.
For example the overspeed setting 82.9 RPM will be shown here.
To complete the password input, the password must be followed up with ENTER. Passwords must always be four digits.
Speed Indication
By numerical setting of the value by first entering ‘0’. Pressing ENTER completes the operation. As the old stored parameter value is continuously on display during this operation, the operator is kept aware of the adjustment/change required. Pressing ESC completes the parameter adjustment session. All new parameters are now stored in the system EEPROM. If the session is not terminated with the ESC key, the system will do this automatically after a timed period.

As well as the speed indication at the ECR operating panel, the system provides two ±10V analogue outputs for external speed indication. One is connected to the DPS and feeds three outputs providing speed indication at various points around the ship. If this source fails, the watchdog within the DPS will switch the three outputs to the signal available from the DMS, fed by the other signal. This system provides a high degree of redundancy and availability. Negative values at the displays indicate astern running.
Emergency stop pushbuttons EGS2000 Electronic Governor The electronic governor is serial connected to the DMS system and also to the DPS system. The basic task of the EGS system is to regulate the speed of the main engine by translating the speed signal given by the operator into movement of the engine fuel rack. The EGS2000 system consists of the following components: Power unit:
Contains the electronic units to convert speed signals to actual movement and the Lyngso Marine ‘STELLA GAMMA’ monitoring computer.
Control unit:
Located in the ECR console, the operator interface.
Actuator:
The electro-mechanical device to convert demand signals to fuel rack movement.
Tacho sensor:
The proximity switches sensing flywheel speed.
Speed indication is available at the following locations: ECR console
Scavenging air A sensor to monitor the air pressure and therefore sensor: engine output power.
Engine local control console Bridge console and front wall Port and starboard wings, port and starboard wing consoles
This allows the system to restrict power to avoid low air to fuel ratios.

Maersk Ramsey The governor actuator consists of the actuator position control loop and the actuator itself. The power for the actuator motor comes from a power supply unit within the power unit cabinet. The actuator consists of a motor and gearbox with a brake, tacho-generator and position transmitter. The actuator uses very large mechanical forces and the brake is a safety feature. If the supply fails, the brake is engaged immediately, blocking the actuator in its position and activating an alarm. Using the position transmitter and the tacho-generator, the actuator can move quickly and precisely to the required position, without overshoot. The actuator has its own limit switches which will stop the actuator at its extreme limits, regardless of any further signals. The scavenge air limit function ensures that the correct amount of fuel is provided according to the amount of scavenge air available. This is especially important during acceleration when the slow turbocharger speed means there is not normally enough air available to burn all the injected fuel. This may lead to poor combustion and pollution. Restricting the fuel index during these times alleviates this problem.
Machinery Operating Manual The RPM mode is a fast mode of operation which will adjust the fuel rack to keep the engine at constant rpm. Optimal fuel consumption and wear of the mechanism are given low priority in this mode. The POWER mode controls fuel rack movement in response to shaft speed variations so power delivered remains constant. This mode minimises fluctuations in thermal loading and is the most fuel efficient mode. Full protection of the engine is offered and shaft speed will only vary up to preset limits. INDEX mode maintains the fuel rack at a distinct position providing speed variations are within wide preset limits. This mode is often used for engine measurements that require a fixed fuel rack position. This mode cannot be automatically selected by the computer.
The EGS2000 requires no periodical maintenance. The motor and gearbox have no serviceable items and are built to a high standard that should last the lifetime of the vessel. However, there are a number of checks that should be carried out two to three times a year. During these checks the engine should be stopped and start blocked. These checks involve checking the tightness and cleanliness of all the links, connections and securing devices etc in the complete system. Any backlash in the actuator and fuel pump linkages should be adjusted to keep the backlash below 0.3mm. Further, more in depth details, are available from the manufacturer’s manual.
The EGS2000 also contains an automatic overload protection system (OPS). This uses torque measurements from a torque measuring device to provide a limit to the rpm setpoint if a high torque reading is detected. This facility is manually cancelled. Operator Panel/key Functions
When a start or stop order is given to the DPS system, the governor controls the index. For a start request the governor moves the actuator to a predetermined position to ensure the correct ratios for run up. On receiving a shutdown signal, the EGS2000 immediately moves the actuator to the zero position.

Maersk Ramsey 2.2 Boilers and Steam Systems 2.2.1 General Description The steam generating plant consists of two auxiliary boilers and one exhaust gas boiler. The steam demand of the plant, in port is served by the auxiliary boilers. At sea, steam demand is met by the exhaust gas boiler. The gas boiler is arranged in the funnel to take waste heat from the main engine exhaust. An auxiliary boiler may be required at sea in low temperature areas, as well as during reduced power operation of the main engine, such as during manoeuvring or slow steaming on passage. Cargo and tank cleaning operations at sea will also require a boiler to supplement the steam supply. Auxiliary Boilers
Machinery Operating Manual The side water wall tubes are welded to the water and steam drums with no headers provided. The boiler is downward fired from the roof using a steam assisted pressure jet burner.
i) Open all pressure gauge valves and ensure that all valves on the pressure gauge piping are open.
Boiler Casing
k) Fill the boiler until water level appears 25 to 50 mm high in the gauge glasses. Allow for swell in level after firing.
The furnace of the boiler is made completely gas tight by the adoption of a welded water wall construction. The welded water wall construction is also adopted in the front and rear walls of the rear evaporating tube section where tubes are exposed to the combustion gas. Insulation is provided on the outer surface of the furnace water walls. Insulation is applied to the outer surface of the water walls and the outermost surface of the furnace is covered with galvanised steel casing except for the furnace roof and floor.
2 Aalborg Ltd AQ18 Oil fired vertical water tube marine boiler 25,000 kg/h 16 kg/cm2 saturated steam. H.F.O up to 700 cSt at 50°C 18 kg/cm2 1,880 kg/h at 100% evaporation
The steam and water drums are cylindrical with two flat plates on the top and bottom. Due to the internal pressure, the flat plates are mutually connected by vertical solid stays. A steam separator is provided to completely remove the moisture. This can be dismantled for removal. The steam drum also has a feedwater internal pipe, surface blow off internal pipe and water sampling pipe.
Description
Operating Procedures
General Construction
The following steps should be taken before attempting to flash up the boiler:
The boiler is of a two drum type construction, with one steam drum and one water drum. It also includes a boiler casing, fuel firing equipment, mountings, fittings and other accessories. The boiler structure is supported with the water drum acting as a supporting basis. The whole boiler construction is designed so as to be able to withstand the rolling and pitching of the ship. Careful consideration is also given to the movement by thermal expansion of the boiler. Combustion gas leaves the furnace through the deflected tubes at the bottom and passes through the generating bank before leaving the boiler. Efficient circulation in the boiler is achieved because a number of tubes in the coldest part area act as down comers
a) All foreign materials to be removed from internal pressure parts. b) Ensure all gas side-heating surfaces are clean and all refractory is in good condition. c) The furnace bottom and the burner wind box to be cleaned of oil and other debris.
Closely spaced water wall tubes are arranged in a staggered configuration and constitute the furnace side and roof, except for burner opening, rear and front wall. This arrangement increases the heat absorption in the furnace and makes it strong enough to withstand vibration etc.
(Note ! Remote-reading instruments may not be accurate until steam is being generated.) Raising pressure with no steam available from the other boiler.
b) Set burner for air atomising, using an air pressure of 4 kg/cm2 and fuel pressure of 3 kg/cm2. Purge the furnace with forced draught fan for one minute with vanes fully open. c) Reduce the air pressure at the windbox to between 10 and 20 mm water and close recirculating valve. d) Light the burner and adjust air and fuel pressure, to ensure stabilised combustion, using the furnace observation port and smoke indicator. e) When raising the pressure, keep the burner firing for 5 minutes and out of service for 15 minutes repeatedly at the lowest oil pressure (2.5kg/cm2) for one hour. Again, repeatedly light and shut down the burner to raise pressure as recommended by the manufacturer. A guideline would be to aim for 1kg/cm2 after 1.5 hours firing, 5kg/cm2 after 2 hours firing and 12 kg/cm2 after 2.5 hours firing.
d) Ensure all personnel are clear. e) All manhole covers to be securely tightened.
f) When the drum pressure has risen to about 2 kg/cm2, close the drum vent valve.
f) Inspect safety valves and see that gags have been removed and easing levers are in good condition.
g) Drain and warm through all steam supply lines to ancillary equipment before putting the boiler on load.
g) Open root valves for all instruments and controls connected to the boiler.
Furnace
l) Check operation of gauge glasses and compare with remote reading instruments.
a) Set up the fuel system for diesel oil and circulate the fuel until all heavy fuel has been discharged from the fuel lines.
Steam Drum and Fittings No. of Sets: Maker: Model: Type: Evaporation: Steam Condition: Fuel Oil: Safety Valve Setting: Fuel Oil Consumption:
j) Check and close all blow-off valves and drain valves.
h) Open the vent valve of the steam drum.
h) Supply steam to the F.O. tank. When the tank is of sufficient temperature to be pumped by the F.O. pump, supply steam to the F.O. heater and prepare to change over from D.O to F.O. Continue circulating F.O. as before. i) At working pressure, switch to automatic operation.

Raising Pressure with Steam Available from other Boiler.
Shutting Down
Taking the Boiler Out of Service.
a) Start forced draught fan, open the inlet vanes and purge the furnace.
a) Operate sootblowers before shutting down the boiler whenever possible.
When taking a boiler out of service, the wet lay up method is preferable, this is because it requires less preparation and can be quickly returned to service.
b) Start the F.O. burning pump and circulate oil through the heater and burner manifold. Open the recirculating valve and discharge the cold heavy oil in the line.
b) Shut down the burner.
When the boiler is in the cooling down process following shut down, inject into the drum appropriate quantities of boiler chemicals, using the boiler chemical injection device. To ensure adequate protection of the boiler, follow the guidelines given by the chemical supplier.
(At normal sea going condition, the boiler F.O. system will be continually circulating heated F.O.) c) Reduce the air pressure at the windbox to between 10 and 20 mm water gauge.
c) Continue the operation of the forced draught fan for a short while after shutting down keeping an air pressure of 150mm water gauge at the burner inlet and purge the furnace of combustible gases. d) Maintain the water level visible at about 50mm in the gauge glass. e) Open the drum vent valve before the boiler reaches atmospheric pressure.
d) Close the recirculating valve. e) Light the burner and adjust air and fuel pressure to ensure stabilised combustion, using the furnace observation port and smoke indicator. When raising the pressure, keep the burner firing for 5 minutes and out of service for 15 minutes repeatedly at the lowest oil pressure (2.5kg/cm2) for one hour. Again, repeatedly light and shut down the burner to raise pressure as recommended by the manufacturer. A guideline would be to aim for 1kg/cm2 after 1.5 hours firing, 5kg/cm2 after 2 hours firing and 12kg/cm2 after 2.5 hours firing.
When the pressure is approaching atmospheric pressure, open the steam drum air vent valve.
f) Change the fuel system to diesel oil and circulate back to the tank. (If steam is available from the other boiler or economiser, the boiler F.O. system should remain in use.)
When the pressure is off the boiler, supply distilled water until it issues from the vent valve, then close the vent valve. Put a hydrostatic pressure of 3.5 to 5 kg/cm2 on the boiler. Hold this pressure until the boiler has cooled to ambient temperature. Bleed the boiler using the vent valve to be sure all the air is out. Maintain a hydrostatic pressure of 2 to 3.5 kg/cm2 on the boiler. Take a periodic boiler water sample and replenish any spent chemicals.
g) When the fuel oil has been purged, shut down the fuel system. After the boiler has been shut down for 4 hours the forced draught fan may be used to assist cooling down, but to avoid damage to refractory allow the boiler to cool down naturally if possible.
Before returning the boiler to service, drain the boiler to the normal working level and return the chemical content concentration to the normal level by blowing down. Maintaining Boiler in Warm Condition
f) When the drum pressure has risen to about 2 drum vent valve.
kg/cm2,
close the
g) Drain and warm through all steam supply lines to ancillary equipment before putting the boiler on load.
! CAUTION Do not attempt to cool down the boiler by blowing down and then by filling with cold water. Shutting Down in an Emergency Should the boiler trip (when the burner is in use) due to the low low alarm, and the subsequent trip of the fuel oil supply, shut down steam stop valve, feed valve and forced draught fan after purging the furnace.
At sea the stand-by boiler should be maintained in a warm condition by supplying steam to the heating element in the bottom drum. This is done by closing the heating coil drain valve and opening the inlet and outlet valves. The boiler pressure should be maintained at 0.5 kg/cm2 or above. When the heating element is not in use the inlet and outlet valves are closed and the drain left open.
(Note ! Never attempt to feed water until the boiler has cooled sufficiently.) Flame Failure In the event of flame failure, close the oil inlet valve and reduce the air pressure to prevent over cooling the furnace. Purge the furnace before relighting the burner. Always use the pilot burner for ignition. (Note ! Never attempt to relight the burner from the hot furnace refractory.)

2.2.2 Boiler Control System
Atomising steam pressure
c) Select TA1 on the air/oil combustion controller to AUTO.
Maker:
To keep the pressure at the preset value, the steam flow is controlled downstream of the control valve.
d) Adjust the air and oil on TA2/TA3 to the purge position, a minimum of 50% air flow.
Aalborg Sunrod
This system provides operation, control and interlock devices required for the running of the boiler at a steam pressure of 7kg/cm2. It performs the automatic and manual operation of the boiler and will give an alarm to warn the operator if an abnormality occurs during operation of the following modes: Emergency / Automatic Mode By turning a key switch on the control panel allows the burner to be operated with reduced safety interlocks in emergency firing mode. The automatic sequence controller is bypassed, and the burner must be operated at the local position. Normal 7kg/cm2 Mode In this mode the boiler pressure will start to rise and will follow the actual steam load. If the steam demand decreases, and the boiler steam pressure rises to the automatic burner stop point, the burner will cut out. The burner will remain off until the steam pressure falls to the point of automatic start, which is slightly below the pressure set point. An automatic start will be performed and the boiler pressure will be brought back up to its set point.
Main line steam pressure
Allow boiler furnace to be purged for a minimum of 60 seconds.
This is achieved by controlling the oil flow and, in accordance with this, the air flow to the burner.
WARNING Insufficient purging may cause a dangerous furnace explosion.
Procedure for the Preparation of Boiler Control System a) Turn on the power switches of the boiler control panel.
e) Adjust the air and oil flow on TA2/TA3 to an ignition position of approximately 25%.
b) Check the action of each pilot lamp and buzzer using the buzzer and lamp test switch on the control panel.
f) Replace the auto flame scanner with the emergency flame scanner.
c) Supply air to all the control devices.
g) Press the push button for OPEN ATOMISING STEAM VALVE
d) Reset the boiler interlock alarm.
h) Press the IGNITION button and keep depressed. Check that the ignition burner is on.
e) Check that all alarm lamps are out. i) If ignition is successful, press the OPEN OIL VALVE button and keep depressed for approximately 5 seconds.
Procedure for Operating the Burner
Inert Gas Mode In this mode the start/stop switch is bypassed and, when the boiler pressure equals the main steam line pressure, the burner will continue to operate, at between 30% and 100% load. Any excess steam will be dumped to the atmospheric condenser, so maintaining a satisfactory quality of inert gas for the use on deck.
The EMERGENCY OPERATION key switch must be in the AUTOMATIC position. (Note ! The air/oil combustion controller will automatically drive the air and oil control valves to minimum purge and ignition position according to the activated burner sequence step.) For ‘automatic cascade mode’ (steam load determining firing rate) proceed as follows:
Control Panel The panel contains the controllers, which are electronic micro-processors, and allow automatic/manual operation of output and set point adjustment of the following systems:
a) Start the combustion air fan on START/RUN if AUTO-MAN switch is selected to MANUAL. In AUTO the air fan is automatically started and will run for a minimum of 20 minutes to avoid more than 3 starts per hour.
Fuel oil temperature This is kept at a steady predetermined value by controlling the steam flow to the fuel oil heaters. Burner fuel oil pressure This is required to keep the fuel oil pressure at the desired value and is achieved by controlling the recirculation to the suction side of the oil pumps. Boiler water level
When the flame is established, supervision is made by the emergency flame scanner. Air/oil flow to the burner can to be adjusted by TA2/TA3 on the air/oil combustion controller to the desired flow rate. WARNING In emergency operation the safety interlocks are reduced to TOO LOW WATER LEVEL and FLAME FAILURE only. Therefore the boiler must be carefully and continually supervised by the ship’s engineering staff.
The burner will automatically be started and stopped by a signal from the start/stop steam pressure switch.
The burner firing can be stopped by turning the EMERGENCY OPERATION switch to the AUTOMATIC position, or by pushing the OIL VALVE CLOSE / STEAM PURGE VALVE OPEN button for 15 seconds on the local emergency operation box.
To stop the burner manually select the mode switch to stop.
Boiler Cold Start
Emergency Operation Procedure
This mode is selected to start from cold with the burner atomising steam and the F.O. heating steam not available.
b) Select the burner mode switch to START/RUN.
a) Turn on the emergency key switch.
The desired liquid level in the boilers is achieved by controlling the feed water flow to the boiler.
j) Release both buttons and check the flame. If the flame fails to ignite, repeat furnace purge for 60 seconds before a new start is attempted.
(Note ! The set point for the air/oil combustion controller is, by default, left in minimum and must be adjusted to purge, ignite and firing position by hand operation as described here.) b) Select the combustion air fan to MANUAL and START/RUN.
Diesel oil fuel is used along with atomising air. When the ‘F.O.Temp Bypass’ switch is selected, the F.O. low temperature alarm and trip are inhibited, the burner control and A.C.C. operation reverts to manual.

Sootblowing has to be carried out at regular intervals to ensure that the heat transfer surfaces are kept clear of deposits, as these retard heat transfer and can constitute a fire hazard. Sootblowing should be operated daily when boilers are in use, bearing in mind the position of the vessel and any local legislation concerning pollution and clean air. They should be operated when leaving port prior to shutting down the boiler. Before operation, request permission from the bridge and notify the bridge on completion. Procedure for the Operation of the Auxiliary Boiler Sootblowers a) The boiler should be at a minimum of 50% of full load. b) Open air supply valve. c) Start sequence. The sequence is automatic and will consist of either one or two operations of the sootblowers d) At the completion of sootblowing, shut the master valve. (Note ! The main air pressure must be kept in the 20-30 kg/cm2 range to maintain the nozzle pressure at 12-15 kg/cm2. An orifice is fitted in the air supply line to create a pressure reduction at the nozzle.) WARNING Do not operate the auxiliary boiler sootblowers during inert gas operations.

It is possible to lower the water level or even empty the boiler completely, provided the gas temperature does not exceed 400°C.
The boiler water circulating pump can then be started. If the system is prone to water hammer, it may be advisable to start the pump with the discharge valve throttled in, gradually opening the valve as the economiser warms up.
Excess steam is normally dumped to the atmospheric condenser.
The other pump is put on standby.
Operation Procedures
If filling after the boiler has been heated by exhaust gas, preheat the water, or if it is not possible to preheat, introduce feed water very slowly to avoid sudden cooling of hot surfaces.
The following steps should be taken before attempting to operate the boiler: a) All foreign materials have been removed from internal pressure parts.
j) Fill the boiler until water level appears 25 to 50 mm high in the gauge glasses. Allow for swell in the water level after heating.
b) All gas side-heating surfaces are clean. c) All personnel are clear.
k) Check the operation of gauge glasses and compare them with remote reading instruments. Open the drain valve and then top and bottom valves alternately. Escaping air should be heard.
d) All manhole covers are securely tightened.
l) Vent air from the boiler.
e) Inspect safety valves and see that gags have been removed and easing levers are in good condition.
m) Raise steam slowly to avoid local overheating in the boiler.
f) Open root valves for all instruments and controls connected to the boiler. g) Open the vent valve at the boiler top. h) Open all pressure gauge valves and check to see that all valves on the pressure gauge piping are open. i) Check and close all blowdown valves and drain valves.
n) When boiler pressure is at 7 kg/cm2, slowly open the steam outlet valve QE97. (Note ! Remote-reading instruments may not be accurate until steam is being generated.) When the load from the main engine has increased to normal, the exhaust gas boiler can now generate sufficient steam to supply the vessel’s services. The auxiliary boiler firing is then stopped.

2.3 Condensate and Feed Systems
Procedure for Preparing the Main Condensate System for Operation:
2.3.1 Condensate System
See illustrations 2.3.2a, 2.3.3a and 2.4.5a for valve positions mentioned below a) Ensure that the pressure gauge and instrumentation valves are open.
Description The main condensate system, as part of the steam generating cycle, is the section concerned with the circulation of boiler feed water from the atmospheric condenser via the observation tank and cascade/filter tank to the main feed pumps. The drains from the steam services are normally led to the atmospheric condenser , which in turn drains to the observation tank and then to the cascade/filter tank. The level of the cascade tank is maintained by a float switch that operates a solenoid valve providing make up water from the storage tank. The condition of the condensate is monitored by a high salinity alarm.
b) Fill the cascade tank from the distilled tank.
2.3.2 Heating Drains Systems .
Description Condensate from the auxiliary steam services is returned to the cascade tank, through a seawater cooled atmospheric condenser and observation tank. The condensate is then returned to the feed water system. As there is a possibility of contamination from hydrocarbons from oil heating services, the drains are segregated and checked in the observation tanks before returning to the system.
c) Check the correct operation of the level control valve. d) Set up the valves as in the following table. Position
Description
Valve
Open
Outlet V alve from Atmospheric Condenser
The oil detecting alarm detects hydrocarbon contamination and the returns can be manually diverted to the waste oil tank. Any floating sediment can be drained through a scum line to the waste oil tank or the observation tank can be drained to the bilge holding tank. A weir in the observation tank outlet to the cascade tank prevents oil being carried over . The tank has a high and low level alarm.
Closed
Atmospheric Condenser Bypass V alves
All services can return to the cascade tank through the atmospheric condenser In the interest of ef ficiency some drains can be fed directly to the observation tank or cascade tank to maintain the operating temperature. The condenser can be bypassed during maintenance, where oil heating drains are led to the observation tank and other services to the cascade tank.

2.3.3 Boiler Feed System Description The boiler feed system is the section of the steam generating plant which circulates feed water from the cascade tank into the steam drum of the boiler via the boiler feed water pumps and the feed water regulator. The feed water flow is automatically controlled by the feed water regulating valve in proportion to the variation in water level in the steam drum. Two boiler feed pumps take suction from the cascade tank and supply the boiler at a rate of 31m3/h at 13 kg/cm2. Each pump returns a small proportion of the discharge back to the cascade tank through an orifice, which prevents pump overheating when the feed water regulator is closed and when the boiler is on low load. Feed water is supplied to the boiler through the feed water regulator. Feed water can also be supplied to the boiler using a separate auxiliary line, which can be used in an emergency. The standby feed pump will cut in on the failure of a running unit. Two exhaust gas boiler feed pumps take suction from the cascade tank and supply the exhaust gas boiler at a rate of 1.35m3/h at 11 kg/cm2. Boiler water chemical treatment is administered by injecting direct to the boiler drum using a chemical dosing unit.

Main system The main system is supplied by three main cooling sea water pumps, one would normally be in use with two required during high sea temperature conditions. All pumps take suction from a common sea water suction line, using either the low suction or the high suction. The low suction will normally be in use at sea, or when surface contamination, such as weed, is present. It will also be in use in light ballast conditions when ingress of air is likely. The high suction will be used when in silted or shallow water conditions. A suction strainer is fitted at both suctions.

The main fire pump is normally set up for foam and fire main service, with the discharge and suction valves locked open. The bilge, ballast and fire pump is used to ballast the aft peak and supply the deck wash system. By manipulation of crossover valves, both pumps can perform similar duties. The pumps can transfer bilges to the bilge tank or directly overboard, in an emergency, from either the bilge main or a common direct suction in the port bilge well. The bilge suction valves on each pump are normally locked closed. The pumps can provide a backup for the inert gas scrubber system. Both pumps can supply the engine room ballast tanks. The pumps take suction from the main sea water suction line.
g) Vent the central cooler that is in use. WARNING Before cleaning the suction strainers, check for pressure at the vent to prove the vent is clear, then isolate the strainer by closing the inlet sea valve and the strainer outlet valve. Check the vent again, if it indicates that the valves are tight, slacken the filter cover securing bolts without removing them. Break the joint. If the valves again prove tight remove the cover.

Machinery Operating Manual
Alfa Laval JWP-26-C100 25 m3/24h
One evaporator is installed which utilises the heat from the main engine jacket cooling water system. The combined brine/air ejector, driven by the ejector pump, creates a vacuum in the system in order to lower the evaporation temperature of the feedwater. The ejector pump takes suction from the main seawater suction line. The feedwater is introduced into the evaporator section through an orifice and is distributed into every second plate channel (evaporation channels). The hot water is distributed into the remaining channels, thus transferring its heat to the feedwater in the evaporation channels. Having reached boiling temperature - which is lower than at atmospheric pressure - the feed water undergoes a partial evaporation. The mixture of generated vapour and brine then enters the separator vessel, where the brine is separated from the vapour and extracted by the combined brine/air ejector. After passing through a demister the vapour enters every second plate channel in the condenser section. The sea water, supplied by the combined cooling/ejector water pump, distributes itself into the remaining channels, thus absorbing the heat being transferred from the condensing vapour. The fresh water produced is extracted by the freshwater pump and led to the freshwater tanks. Freshwater Quality To continuously check the quality of the produced freshwater, a salinometer is provided together with an electrode unit fitted on the freshwater pump delivery side. If the salinity of the fresh water produced exceeds the chosen maximum value, the dump valve and alarm are activated to automatically dump the fresh water to the bilge. Main Components The freshwater generator consists of the following components: Evaporator The evaporator consists of a plate heat exchanger and is enclosed in the separator vessel. Separator vessel The separator separates the brine from the vapour.
g) Start the hot water supply to the distiller by adjusting the jacket water bypass valve to increase the temperature in steps of 10°C, until the desired jacket water temperature is reached.
Combined brine/air ejector The ejector extracts brine and incondensable gases from the separator vessel.
The boiling temperature will now rise, whilst the obtained vacuum drops to approximately 85%.
Ejector pump The ejector pump is a single-stage centrifugal pump which supplies the condenser with sea water and the brine/air ejector with jet water, it also supplies feed water for evaporation.
This indicates that evaporation has started.
Freshwater pump The freshwater pump is a single-stage centrifugal pump which extracts the produced fresh water from the condenser, and pumps the water to the freshwater tanks.
Condensation After approximately 5 minutes the boiling temperature will drop again and a normal vacuum is re-established. h) Open the valve to the freshwater tank. i) Switch on the salinometer.
Salinometer The salinometer continuously checks the salinity of the produced water. The alarm set point is adjustable.
j) Start the freshwater pump. (Note ! The freshwater pump discharge pressure must be between 1.2 - 1.6 kg/cm2.)
Control panel The control panel contains motor starters, running lights, salinometer and contacts for remote alarms.
Adjustment of Jacket Water Flow
Operating Procedures
In order to obtain the specified flow of hot water, it is necessary to adjust the bypass valve until desired flow is achieved. For maximum output the outlet temperature of the heating water should be about 68.5ºC
WARNING Do not operate the plant in polluted water. Fresh water must not be produced from polluted water, as the produced water will be unsuitable for human consumption. Starting a) Open valves on the suction (TG15) and discharge side (TG13) of the ejector/cooling water pump. b) Open the overboard valve (TG15) for the combined brine/air ejector. c) Close air screw (vacuum release valve) on the separator. d) Start ejector pump to create a 90% minimum vacuum. Pressure at the combined brine/air ejector inlet should be a minimum of 3.0 kg/cm2. Back pressure at the combined brine/air ejector outlet should be no more than 0. 6 kg/cm2. Evaporation When there is a minimum of 90 % vacuum (after a maximum 10 minutes): e) Open the valve for feedwater treatment. Ensure chemical dosing tank is full. f) Open the jacket water inlet (TG11) and outlet (TG12) valves.
Adjustment of Sea Water Flow The sea water flow is correct when the inlet pressure at the inlet to the brine/air ejector is between 3.0 - 4.0 kg/cm2. Stopping the Plant a) Stop the distillate pump. b) Switch off the salinometer. c) Stop the ejector pump. d) Close the valve for feedwater treatment. e) Open the air screw (vacuum release valve). f) Close the inlet and outlet valves for the ejector pump. g) Close the overboard valve for the combined brine/air ejector. h) Close the valve to the water tank being filled. ! CAUTION All valves must be shut, while the generator is out of operation, except the air screw release valve.

2.5 Fresh Water Cooling Systems 2.5.1 Main Engine Jacket Cooling Fresh Water System (High Temperature Cooling Water System) m3/h
The system has three cooling water pumps rated at 60 with a pressure of 2 3.5 kg/cm . The system supplies cooling water to the main engine jackets, cylinder heads and exhaust valves. The system operates on a closed circuit principle. The pumps discharge through the jacket cooling water preheater. A valve bypassing the preheater is throttled to ensure a flow through the preheater at all times. The preheater maintains the main engine jacket cooling water temperature when the main engine is idle or on low load. Flow continues to the supply main on the main engine. The system is continually vented at the highest point to the expansion tank. There are branches from the main cooling water supply to each cylinder. Isolating valves are fitted to the inlet and outlet mains for each cylinder to allow cylinders to be individually isolated for maintenance purposes. The hot water from the jackets is passed through the F.W. generator, which can be bypassed when the main engine is on low load or idle. The F.W. generator performs an initial cooling effect. The system then passes through a three-way control, which maintains the temperature of the jacket cooling water system. Depending on the water temperature the water is then directed to: The de-vapourising chamber and then to the jacket cooling water pump suction if the temperature is low. If additional cooling is required the water is diverted to the low temperature fresh water pump suctions where the water is cooled in the central cooling water system coolers Steam is supplied manually to the preheater when the load of the engine drops and the three-way temperature control valve is fully open to the jacket cooling water pump suction. Water lost to the low temperature cooling water system (L.T.C.W.S.), for cooling, is made up from the high temperature return line from the L.T.C.W.S. before it reaches the pump suction. The expansion tank, which is common with the L.T.C.W.S., provides a positive head to the system, as well as allowing for thermal expansion. The system is continually vented from the highest point of the engine to the expansion tank.
Another vent is also provided from the top of the de-vapouriser chamber which includes an alarm device to give early warning of air in the system. Air in the system could be caused by inadvertently closed valves, such as the main run down from the expansion tank. A manual vent is provided at the highest point of the system for use when initially filling the system. The system is made up from the expansion tank to the base of the de-vapouriser chamber. The expansion tank is manually filled from the F.W. service system. The system can be drained to bilge.
Operation a) Check the system level and replenish if required. b) Vent the system using Valve QB37. c) Start one J.C.W. pump and place the other on standby. d) Vent the preheater.
Procedure for the Operation of the Jacket Cooling Water System e) Supply steam to the pre-heater by throttling the steam inlet valve. a) Replenish the system from the domestic fresh water system. b) Ensure all pressure gauge and instrumentation valves are open.
f) Slowly bring the jacket temperature up to the operating temperature.
c) Ensure the F.W. generators are bypassed.
g) Ensure that the L.T.C.W. System is ready for use.
d) Ensure all main engine individual cylinder inlet and outlet valves are open. e) Ensure all main engine individual cylinder vent and drain valves are closed. f) Set the valves as shown in the tables below. Position

Maersk Ramsey 2.6 Fuel Oil and Diesel Oil Service Systems 2.6.1 Main Engine Fuel Oil Service System Fuel oil is stored on board in four fuel oil storage tanks (No.1 and 2 port and No.1 and 2 starboard.) The H.F.O. is transferred to a fuel oil settling tank by the fuel oil transfer pump (when required.) After fuel oil has been transferred to the settling tank, any water or other sediment is drained off by using a self - closing test cock. From the fuel oil settling tank, fuel oil is supplied direct to the auxiliary boiler H.F.O. system and is centrifuged in one of two H.F.O. purifiers to the F.O. service tank. Fuel oil is supplied to the main engine and generator diesel engines from the fuel oil service tank, using the same fuel supply system. The main engine and three auxiliary engines are designed to run on H.F.O. at all times. One of the fuel oil purifiers will be running at all times, with the throughput balanced to match the fuel consumption of the main engines and generator diesel engines. All outlet valves from all fuel tanks are remote quick closing valves with a collapsible bridge, which can be pneumatically operated from the fire control station. After being tripped from the fire control station the valves must be reset locally. Each tank is also fitted with a self-closing test cock to test for the presence of water and to drain any water present. Tundishes, under the selfclosing test cock, drain any test liquid to the waste oil tank. All tanks and heaters are supplied with steam at 6 kg/cm2 from the ship’s steam supply, with condensate flowing to the observation tank which is fitted with an oil detection unit.
Machinery Operating Manual Fuel oil is drawn from the return pipe by one of two main engine fuel oil circulating pumps. The second pump will be on automatic standby, and will start in the event of discharge pressure drop or voltage failure of the running pump. The fuel oil circulating pumps discharge through one of a pair of main engine fuel oil heaters where the oil is heated to a temperature corresponding to a viscosity of 12cSt using steam at 6 kg/cm2.

The heated fuel oil then passes through the viscosity controller which controls steam to the heater. The oil is supplied to the main engine fuel rail via the suction side of the main engine high pressure fuel oil injection pumps through a duplex filter and flow meter. A control valve regulates the pressure at the main engine rail, diverting excess pressure to the return pipe through a flow meter. A three-way cock is fitted on this section of line to flush the system back to the service tank when changing over to diesel oil when at standstill.
c) Ensure that all instrumentation valves are open. A viscosity controller controls the steam supply to both H.F.O. supply heaters. All fuel oil pipework is trace heated by small bore steam pipes laid adjacent to the fuel oil pipe and encased in the same lagging.
The following procedure illustrates starting from cold with the system charged with diesel oil and in a shut down condition. Set up the valves as in the following table:
Heated and filtered fuel oil is supplied to the main engine and auxiliary engines from the fuel oil service tank. Fuel oil from the fuel oil service tank is supplied to one of two fuel oil supply pumps. The second pump will be on automatic stand-by, and will start in the event of discharge pressure drop or voltage failure of the running pump. The F.O. supply pumps discharge through the auto back flush filter to the F.O. return pipe. The auto back flush can be bypassed with a basket filter during maintenance on the main filter. The filter is an automatic self-cleaning filter with an air operated cleaning mechanism activated by an increasing differential pressure. The debris discharge from the auto filter is piped to the fuel oil overflow tank. A pressure control valve maintains the supply pumps discharge pressure by recirculating oil from the pump discharge back to the pump suction.

Maersk Ramsey Procedure to start up the Main Engine HFO Service System and change over to H.F.O. a) Supply steam heating to H.F.O. service tank. b) Open all the individual fuel inlet valves on the M.E. fuel inlet main.
Machinery Operating Manual Fuel Change Over
The temperature rise is then continued at a rate of about 2ºC per minute, until reaching the required viscosity.
The main engine is designed to run on H.F.O. at all times. However, change over to diesel oil can become necessary if, for instance, the vessel is expected to have a prolonged inactive period with a cold engine, i.e. due to:
To protect the fuel oil injection equipment against rapid temperature changes, which may cause scuffing with the risk of sticking of the fuel valves and of the fuel pump plungers and suction valves, the change over to diesel oil is performed as follows (manually):
A major repair of the fuel oil system etc A docking
c) Supply trace heating to the fuel oil service system pipelines. WARNING Trace heating should not be applied to sections of pipeline isolated by closed valves on the HFO side as damage could occur due the expansion of the contents. d) Manually start supplying steam to the on line H.F.O. heater. e) Start one fuel oil supply pump.
More than five days stoppage Environmental legislation requiring the use of low sulphur fuels Change over can be performed at any time, during engine running or during engine standstill. In order to prevent fuel pump and injector sticking/scuffing, poor combustion, and fouling of the gas ways, it is very important to carefully follow the change over procedures. Change Over from Diesel Oil to Heavy Fuel Oil During Running
f) Start one H.F.O. circulating pump. g) Raise the temperature to about 75ºC. h) Start the viscosity controller and close the bypass valve. i) Open the inlet valve to the H.F.O. service tank RR4. j) Operated the return change over cock to direct the return H.F.O. to the service tank. k) D.O. will now be expelled to the H.F.O. service tank, at the same time drawing in H.F.O. from the service tank. l) Continually raise the temperature manually. m) When the set point is reached on the viscosity controller, change its setting to auto. n) Change the operation of the steam control valve to auto. Open the steam inlet valve fully. H.F.O. is now circulating through the system. o) Supply steam heating to the H.F.O. return pipe. p) Switch the other H.F.O. supply pump to standby. q) Switch the other H.F.O. circulating pump to standby. Set the change over return cock back to the return pipe.
Change Over Procedure from Heavy Fuel to Diesel Oil During Running
To protect the injection equipment against rapid temperature changes, which may cause sticking/scuffing of the fuel valves and of the fuel pump plungers and suction valves, the change over is carried out as follows (manually): a) First, ensure that the heavy oil in the service tank is at normal temperature level. b) Reduce the engine load to 75% of normal. Then, by means of the thermostatic valve in the steam system, or by manual control of the viscosity regulator, the diesel oil is heated to maximum 6080ºC, in order to maintain the lubrication ability of the diesel oil and this way minimises the risk of plunger scuffing and the consequent risk of sticking. This preheating should be regulated to give a temperature rise of about 2ºC per minute. c) Due to the above mentioned risk of sticking/scuffing of the fuel injection equipment, the temperature of the heavy fuel oil in the service tank must not be more than 25ºC higher than the heated diesel oil in the system (60-80ºC) at the time of change over. (Note ! The diesel oil viscosity should not drop below 2cSt, as this might cause fuel pump and fuel valve scuffing, with the risk of sticking.) d) For some light diesel oils (gas oil), this will limit the upper temperature to somewhat below 80ºC. When 60-80ºC has been reached, the change to heavy oil is performed by opening the fuel oil supply valve RR43. Turn the change over cock on the suction side of the H.F.O. supply pumps to take suction from the H.F.O. service tank. Close diesel oil supply valve RR44.
Issue: 1
a) Ideally the diesel oil in the D.O. service tank should be about 50ºC. b) Shut off the steam supply to the fuel oil preheater, return fuel pipe and steam tracing. c) Reduce the engine load to 75% of MCR load. d) Change to diesel oil when the temperature of the heavy oil in the preheater has dropped to about 25ºC above the temperature in the diesel oil service tank, however, not below 75ºC. e) Open diesel oil supply valve RR43. Change over the supply three way cock to the D.O. service tank. Close H.F.O. supply valve RR43. Fuel oil is now led to the supply pumps. (Note ! If, after the change over, the temperature (at the preheater) suddenly drops considerably, the transition must be moderated by supplying a little steam to the preheater, which now contains diesel oil.) Change Over Procedure from Heavy Fuel to Diesel Oil During Standstill a) Stop the preheating. b) Stop trace heating. c) Stop return pipe heating. With regard to temperature levels before change over, see ‘Change Over from Heavy Fuel to Diesel Oil during Running’. d) Open diesel oil supply valve RR44. e) Change over suction changeover cock. f) Close fuel oil supply valve RR43. g) Open inlet valve to service tank RR4. 2.6 Fuel Oil and Diesel Oil Service Systems Page 4

Maersk Ramsey 2.6.3 Auxiliary Boiler Fuel Oil Service System Fuel oil is stored on board in four fuel oil storage tanks, and then (when required) transferred to a fuel oil settling tank by a fuel oil transfer pump. After fuel oil has been transferred to the settling tank, any water or other sediment is drained off, using the self-closing test cock. Fuel oil is supplied directly to the boilers from the fuel oil settling tank. Diesel oil can be supplied to the boilers from the diesel oil service tank when starting from cold. A temperature controller maintains the steam supply to the F.O. heater. All the fuel oil piping is trace heated by small bore steam pipes. These are laid adjacent to the fuel oil pipe and encased in the same insulation. Fuel oil from the fuel oil settling tank is supplied to one of two fuel oil pumps. The second pump will be on automatic standby, and will start in the event of a discharge pressure drop or a voltage failure of the running pump. The fuel oil pumps take suction from the settling tank via a strainer. A pressure control valve, with its sensing point on the heater discharge, maintains the pump discharge pressure by recirculating oil from the pump discharge back to the air separator/return pipe. The oil in the return pipe returns to the pump suction. The vent from the air separator returns to the H.F.O. settling tank. The fuel oil pumps discharge through one fuel oil heater, where the oil is heated to the required temperature. The oil is fed to the boiler via a pressure-control valve, controlled by the boiler steam pressure. When the boiler is in a standby condition, a solenoid valve on the return line automatically opens to circulate fuel back to the return pipe, keeping the fuel oil at working temperature immediately before the burner. On the recirculating line is a change over cock, where the fuel can be diverted from returning to the return pipe to either the H.F.O. settling tank or D.O. service tank. This change over cock would normally be used for flushing fuel oil back to the H.F.O. tank when changing from D.O. to H.F.O. or vice versa. The boiler has a pilot burner pump, which takes suction from the D.O. service tank via the pump suction filter. A steam connection is fitted to the F.O. line to the burner after the double shut off solenoid valves and is used for automatic purging of the burner prior to shut down.
Machinery Operating Manual The following procedure illustrates starting from cold with the system charged with diesel oil and in a shut down condition. Set up the valves as in the following table:
WARNING Trace heating should not be applied to sections of pipeline isolated by closed valves on the F.O. side, as damage, such as blown flange joints, could occur due the expansion of the contents.

Procedure for Operating the Auxiliary Boiler Fuel Oil Service System When steam is available: a) Ensure that the filters are clean.
m) After the boiler is firing on H.F.O. put the other F.O. pump on auto start. (Note ! Change over to H.F.O. can take place while still firing the boiler. The recirculating line would remain lined up to the air separator and the fuel would change over by normal usage. However, this could lead to unstable flame conditions due to incorrect temperature settings at the heater.)
c) Supply steam heating to HFO settling tank. b) Ensure that all instrumentation valves are open.
d) Open supply trace heating to the fuel oil service system pipelines.

Heavy Fuel Oil Tanks
2.7.1 Fuel Oil and Diesel Oil Bunkering and Transfer System
Compartments
Fuel oil, for all purposes on board the ship, is stored in four fuel oil bunker tanks located forward of the engine room. There are two on the port side and two on the starboard side. From the storage tanks, fuel oil is transferred to a fuel oil settling tank, where it is allowed to settle prior to being purified into the fuel oil service tank. Fuel oil is supplied to the main engine and generator engines from the fuel oil service tank. The boiler is supplied direct from the settling tank. The fuel oil storage tanks are filled from fuel oil bunkering line connections located at the cargo manifold. The bunkering line is fitted with a relief valve, which discharges into No. 1 fuel oil overflow tank. The fuel oil transfer pump is located forward on the engine room floor and is used to transfer fuel oil from the storage tanks to the settling tanks at a rate of 45 m3/h and a pressure of 4.0kg/cm2. It is possible to use the diesel oil transfer pump for fuel oil service, and vice versa in an emergency. The spectacle pieces separating the suction lines and discharge lines are normally in the blanked position. Fuel oil is transferred to the service tank by the F.O. purifiers. The overflow tank is fitted to collect the overflow from the settling tank in the event of overfill. The service tank overflows to the settling tank. The fuel oil transfer pump is used to pump the contents of the fuel oil overflow tank to the fuel oil bunker tanks or settling tank. The fuel oil can be transferred from one storage tank to another for trim or other purposes, using the transfer pump and the bunkering line. The service tank can be drained using the transfer pump. All outlet valves from all fuel tanks are remote operated quick closing valves, with a collapsible bridge which can be pneumatically operated from the fire control station. After being tripped from the fire control station the valves must be reset locally. Each tank is also fitted with a self closing test cock to test for water and to drain any water present. Tundishes under the self closing test cock drain any liquid to the waste oil tank. All tanks are provided with local temperature indication, plus remote level indication in the control room. The tanks also have an overfill alarm. All fuel oil tanks are fitted with heating coils - heating steam being supplied at 7kg/cm2 from the heating steam system. Condensate from the heating coils flow to the cascade tank via an oil detector and observation tank. All fuel oil transfer lines are trace heated by steam also at 7kg/cm2.

Fuel Oil System Introduction
h) Level alarms fitted to bunker tanks should be tested prior to any bunker loading operations.
l) The Chief Engineer is responsible for bunker loading operations, assisted at all times by a sufficient number of officers and ratings to ensure the operation is carried out safely.
o) The maximum design pressure in the bunker line should not be exceeded. p) Safe means of access to barges / shore shall be used at all times.
Preparation and Procedure for Loading and Transfer of Bunkers Before and during bunkering, the following steps should be complied with: The purpose of the following procedure is to ensure that bunkers of the correct specification and agreed quantity are received on board in a safe and efficient manner.
q) Scuppers and savealls (including those around bunker tank vents) should be effectively plugged. r) Drip trays are provided at bunker hose connections. s) Oil spill containment and clean up equipment must be deployed and ready for use.
a) Shore and barge tanks should be checked for water content. b) Representative samples are to be drawn using the continuous drip method for the duration of the loading operation and dispatched for analysis. c) Where possible new bunkers are to be segregated on board prior to use until results of laboratory analysis are received. d) No internal transferring of bunkers should take place during bunker loading operations, unless permission has been obtained from the Chief Engineer. e) The Chief Engineer should also calculate the estimated finishing ullages / dips, prior to the starting of loading.
t) Loading should start at the agreed minimum loading rate. Only upon confirmation of no leakage and fuel (only) going into the nominated tanks, should the loading rate be increased. u) When topping off, the flow of oil to the tank in question should be reduced by diverting the flow of oil to another tank. In the case of the final tank, the loading rate should be reduced to the agree minimum at least 20 minutes before the finishing ullage is reached. ! CAUTION At least one bunker tank filling valve must be full open at all times during the bunkering operation. Relevant information to be entered in the Oil Record Book on completion of loading.
f) Bunker tanks should not exceed 98% full. g) Any bunker barges attending the vessel are to be safely moored alongside before any part of the bunker loading operation begins.

Diesel Oil System
Preparation for the Operation of Loading Diesel Oil
Introduction
The procedures for loading D.O. is the same as that previously described for H.F.O.
Diesel oil for all purposes on board the ship is stored in two diesel oil storage tanks located at either side of the engine room. From the storage tanks, D.O. is transferred to the diesel oil service tank, using the D.O. purifier or transfer pump. D.O. can be supplied to the main engines, generator engines and boiler from the D.O. service tank. The inert gas system, incinerator and emergency generator tanks can be filled from the diesel oil service tank using the transfer pump or from the main storage tanks using the purifier. The diesel oil storage tanks are filled from a diesel oil bunkering line located at the cargo manifold. The diesel oil transfer pump is located forward on the engine room floor and is used to transfer D.O. from the storage tanks to the service tanks at a rate of 50m3/h and a pressure of 4.0kg/cm2. It is possible to use the fuel oil transfer pump for diesel oil service, and vice versa. The D.O. service tank overflows to the port D.O. storage tank. Diesel Oil Tanks Compartments

g) Supply tracing steam to the pipelines in use. Description
Each fuel oil purifier has a feed pump and heater, and there are cross connections, which allow the feed pumps, heaters and purifiers to be used in any configuration. The purifier feed pumps take suction from the settling tank and discharge through the heat exchanger to the purifier and then to the fuel oil service tank. The heater uses steam at 7 kg/cm2 to heat the fuel oil up to a temperature of 98°C using a temperature control loop which controls the steam supply to the heater. A control valve at the inlet to the purifier diverts the fuel oil back to the heater inlet while the oil is heating up and until the purifier is ready for use. Three purifiers are supplied with one purifier designated as the D.O. purifier and two as the H.F.O. purifiers. The three purifiers can be used for H.F.O. or D.O. duty by changing over spectacle pieces. The centrifugal purifiers are automatically controlled with self-discharging of sludge to the fuel oil sludge tank. The bowls of the purifiers are sealed using water from the domestic fresh water system. The same water source is used to flush the sludge from the bowl when the automatic control mechanism switches the purifier to cleaning mode. The purifiers and their supply pumps are all locally operated, although they are remotely monitored. The purifiers, pumps and heaters are all located in the purifier room.

Maersk Ramsey Procedure for Operation of the Main Engine Lubricating Oil System
2.8 Lubricating Oil Systems 2.8.1 Main Engine Lubricating Oil System The Main Engine has its own lubricating oil systems, described as follows: There are three separate lubricating oil systems: 1. Main lubricating oil system, which supplies lubricating oil under pressure from the sump to the crankshaft and crosshead bearings. It also supplies cooling oil to the piston cooling spaces and turbocharger bearings. 2. Camshaft lubricating oil system, which supplies oil under pressure to the camshaft bearings. 3. Cylinder oil system, which lubricates the cylinders and piston rings. It is a once through system. Main Lubricating Oil System Main Lubricating Oil Pumps No of sets: Capacity:
Machinery Operating Manual
2 165m3/h at 4.7 kg/cm2
Two vertical centrifugal pumps located aft of the main engine at engine room floor level, supply oil through non-return valves at a rate of 165 m3/h and a pressure of 4.7 kg/cm2. Oil is directed to all the main bearings, connecting rod and crosshead bearings plus other internal running gear, such as the camshaft chain drive, thrust bearing and turbocharger. Oil from the crosshead is supplied to the cooling spaces of the piston, and down the connecting rods to the bottom end bearings. The oil drains from the crankcase back to the L.O. sump. One of the two pumps will normally be running, with the other pump on stand-by, set to start in the event of the failure of the running pump discharge pressure, or voltage failure. The pumps discharge through a cooler where a 3-way valve controls the temperature by directing the oil through or bypassing the cooler. The oil is then passed through an automatic back flush filter before the oil is supplied to the main engine. The auto-filter automatically back-flushes itself when the pressure differential across it rises to 0.7 kg/cm2. An alarm is activated if the differential pressure reaches 0.9 kg/cm2. A bypass filter is supplied for use when the backflush filter is shut down for maintenance. Drains from all the bearings are led to the main engine sump.
a) Check the level of oil in the main engine sump and top up if necessary. b) Supply steam to the main engine sump heating coil. c) Ensure all pressure gauge and instrumentation valves are open. d) Set up valves as shown in the tables below:
Camshaft Lubricating System A separate lubricating oil system supplies lubricating oil at a rate of 98.3 l/min and at a pressure of 3.5 kg/cm2 to the camshaft bearings and cam followers and exhaust valve actuators. Two horizontal gear type pumps supply the oil through a cooler and filter to the camshaft lubricating oil supply rail. One of the two pumps will normally be running, with the other pump on standby, which will start in the event of running pump discharge pressure failure, or voltage failure.

Cylinder Oil System High alkaline lubricating oil is supplied to the main engine cylinders on a once through basis in order to lubricate the piston rings and to reduce wear and counteract the acidity of the products of combustion.
g) Ensure that all the cylinder oil injection points are receiving equal quantities.
Each cylinder of the engine is fitted with six oil injection pumps which pump a measured quantity of cylinder lubricating oil on each stroke of the engine into injection ports through the cylinder walls in order to supply oil to the running surface of the cylinder liner. The oil is injected when the piston rings are passing the injection ports on the compression stroke. The flow to the cylinders is monitored by a no-flow alarm. The oil is supplied under gravity and through filters from a daily use tank, which is topped up daily from one of the cylinder oil storage tanks. The storage tanks are filled from filling connections at the accommodation side-wall on both port and starboard side. Preparation for the Operation of the Main Engine Cylinder Lubricating Oil System a) Top up the cylinder oil storage tank. This can be done from the No.1 or No.2 storage tanks using the cylinder L.O. pump. b) Note the reading of the tank for measuring purposes. c) Set up the valves as in the table below. Position

Machinery Operating Manual Forward Seal
2.8.2 Stern Tube Lubricating Oil System The stern tube is lubricated by its own L.O. system. The stern tube is sealed by a set of lip seals at the forward and aft end. An aft seal L.O. circulating pump feeds the oil chamber between No.2 and No.3 seal rings at the top of the chamber. The oil returns to the aft seal tank from the bottom of the chamber.The tank overflows back to the sump tank. The head of the seal tank is sufficient to prevent ingress of sea water. The aft seal header tank is filled from the stern tube header tank. The forward seal is naturally circulated through its own header tank and is separate from the main stern tube system. The stern tube bearing has its own L.O. circulation system in order to keep the bearing both lubricated and clean. The header tank is filled from the stern tube L.O. tank using the stern tube transfer pump. The header tank overflows to the stern tube sump tank via a sight glass. This tank has a suction to the L.O. purifier or L.O. transfer pump for purification direct or transfer to the M.E. L.O. settling tank. The purifier discharges back to the sump tank. The L.O. tank can be topped up from the M.E. L.O. storage tank, or can be drained during refit. Procedure for the Preparation of the Stern Tube L.O.

After being tripped from the fire control station the valves must be reset locally. Each tank is also fitted with a self-closing test cock to test for the presence of water and to drain any water present. Lubricating oil is run down from these tanks to the main engine, generator diesel engines and other machinery services. The settling tank is used to allow the contents of the main engine to be transferred prior to being centrifuged back to the sump or recirculated back to the settling tank. The auxiliary engines can be drained to the Auxiliary Engine L.O. overflow tank for batch purification. Heating coils are fitted to the lubricating oil settling tanks. All storage tanks are filled from connections on both sides of the upper deck - one for each grade of oil. The lubricating oil transfer pump is used to transfer lubricating oil from one part of the ship to another. Its duties include batch transfer of lubricating oil from the main and auxiliary engine sumps to the lubricating oil settling tanks prior to batch purification.

Clean bilge holding tank Bilge Holding Tank
Two vertical self-priming pumps are provided with bilge suctions for emergency use. Both pumps are equipped with a vacuum pump driven by the main pump via a friction coupling. When pressure is detected at the discharge of the pump, the vacuum pump drive is disconnected. Both pumps can pump from the port bilge well using a common direct suction. or from the following bilge main connections:
The bilge holding tank collects bilges and drains whilst in port. It is discharged through the separator when at sea. The tank is divided into two parts - one clean and one dirty. A pipe connects the bottom of the dirty tank to the top of the clean bilge tank. The bilge water pump takes suction from the clean side and the sludge pump takes water from the dirty side.

Description
g) Before the bilge well in use loses suction, open the valve on another well and close the one in use. Bilge pumping should be monitored constantly, as running dry will damage the pump. h) When all wells are dry, stop the pump and close all valves.
If the outlet from the separator contains an excessive oil content, it is recirculated back to the bilge holding tank by means of the automatic three-way valve. High level alarms are fitted in each bilge well. ! CAUTION The O.W.S is designed to separate oil from water not water from oil. i.e. if the discharge from the O.W.S. contains excessive amounts of oil it will render the equipment useless and result in unnecessary maintenance.

Machinery Operating Manual In Port or Coastal Waters
2.9.2 Pump Room Bilge System
Any bilges which require pumping, when in port should only be pumped to the bilge holding tank using the engine room bilge transfer pump. The contents of the bilge holding tank can then be processed when the vessel is in open water.
A bilge eductor driven by sea water from the fire main is used to drain the ballast pump room bilges. There are two suctions Those being the port and starboard pump room bilge suctions. The two pumproom bilge suctions are normally open, in case flooding of the pump room makes the valves inaccessible.

The engine room bilges and the contents of the bilge holding tank should only be pumped overboard through the oily water separator system. Any oil will then be separated out and discharged to the oily bilge tank and the clean water will be discharged overboard if it is clean enough. If it is contaminated with oil, it will be diverted automatically back to the bilge holding tank.
High level alarms are fitted port and starboard. The bilges are normally pumped to the port slop tank. Procedure for Draining the Pump Room Bilges using the Bilge Eductor Set up the valves as in the following table: Position

b) Supply power to the O.W.S. c) Check the oil content monitor by passing fresh water through the sensor. d) Check the reading and shut off the fresh water supply.
Close AD60 followed by all other valves when suction is lost.
Three bilge eductors each with a capacity of 8m3/h and driven by sea water from the fire main, are provided for the drainage of the bosun’s store, chain lockers and thruster room. Each suction point is equipped with a suction filter and non-return valve.
e) After completion, stop the pump and close all valves.
High level alarms are fitted in the bosun's store and thruster room.
Any oil/water remaining can be discharged by the bilge pump to the sludge discharge line by opening valve QD7. It can be pumped ashore or to the cargo residual tank by means of a portable hose.
Procedure for the Operation of the Forward Bilge Systems a) Ensure that the suction strainers are clean and the cover joint is correctly fitted.
Main Cooling Sea Water Pump The No.1 main cooling water pump can also pump out the bilge via the emergency bilge suction valve, which is connected directly to the pump suction.
b) Start the fire bilge and ballast pump and pressurise the fire main.
WARNING Before any bilges are pumped directly overboard, it must first be ensured that no local or international anti-pollution regulations will be contravened except where safety of the ship or personnel is involved.
d) Open the appropriate eductor suction valves.
c) Open the appropriate overboard discharge valve.
e) Open the appropriate eductor seawater supply valve. f) On completion, close all the above valves.

1 2-Stage Air Cooled Piston Type 4 m3/h at a pressure of 30 kg/cm2.
The starting air system is supplied by three main starting air compressors, which supply the two main air reservoirs. The compressed air is used to start the main engine and the three auxiliary generator engines. One emergency compressor supplies the auxiliary engine starting air reservoir. This compressor is supplied from the emergency switchboard and is used to supply the auxiliary air reservoir in an emergency. Starting air to the auxiliary engines is reduced to 9 kg/cm2. The air reservoirs are supplied through an oil/water separator situated on the discharge from the compressors. Each compressor has an automatic drain on the high-pressure discharge, which opens when the compressor stops and closes shortly after the compressor runs up to speed. This allows the compressor to start and stop off load. The compressors are started and stopped by pressure switches situated on the inlet line to the main reservoirs. Starting air is supplied from the reservoirs to the main engine. The reservoirs supply air to all three auxiliary engines using a separate pipeline where the pressure is reduced to 9 kg/cm2 by one of a pair of reducing valves. The main reservoirs normally supply the auxiliary engine starting air reservoir and the auxiliary engines direct. The main compressors are cooled by the low temperature cooling water system. Switches at the local starter panel enable the compressors to be manually started and stopped. When in remote operation, they can be arranged for automatic operation from the control room. The control air system is supplied from the starting air system through one of two reducing valves and an air drier. The start air system also supplies the quick-closing valve air reservoir. The system can also be crossed over to the general service system.

2.11 Steering Gear
Procedure to Put the Steering Gear into Operation.
Operation
Description
The system valves are assumed set for normal operation.
If failure of one of the systems occurs, the ship's speed should be reduced, as only 50% of the torque for the steering gear operation is available.
Maker: Type:
a) Check the level and condition of the oil in the tanks and refill with the correct grade as required.
Kawasaki-Wuhan FE21-064-T050
The steering gear consists of four hydraulic rams driven by two electrically driven pumps. The pumps are of the variable displacement axial piston type and are contained in their own individual oil tanks.
b) Check that the pin in the control lever is correctly fitted.
The steering gear is capable of operating as two totally isolated steering systems.
d) Start the selected electro-hydraulic pump unit.
Failure sequence with one pump running If loss of oil occurs, with No.1 pump running and No.2 pump stopped, the following sequence will take place:
c) Ensure the rudder is in the mid position. 1. If the oil level in No.1 oil tank goes down to the ‘LOW’ position audible and visual alarms are given on the navigating bridge and in the machinery space.
e) Carry out pre-departure tests. Each pump unit is capable of putting the rudder through the working angle in the specified time. The second pump unit can be connected at any time by starting the motor.
2. No.1 isolating valve (IV - 1) is energised and the hydraulic system associated with No.2 pump is isolated.
f) Check for any leakage and rectify. g) Check for abnormal noise.
The steering gear is provided with an automatic isolation system. Both hydraulic systems are interconnected by means of electrically operated isolating valves that in normal operation allow both systems together to produce the torque necessary for moving the rudder. In the event of failure that results in a loss of hydraulic fluid from one of the systems, the float switches in the expansion tank are actuated. This gives a signal to the isolation system, which automatically divides the steering gear into two individual systems. The defective system is isolated, whilst the intact system remains fully operational, so that steering capability is maintained at reduced speed with 50% of the rudder torque. The steering gear is remotely controlled by the auto-pilot control or by hand steering from the wheelhouse. All orders from the bridge to the steering compartment are transmitted electrically. Steering gear feedback transmitters supply the actual position signal for the systems. The rudder angle is limited to 35° port or starboard. The variable-flow pumps are operated by a control lever, which activates the tilting lever of the pump cylinder. This causes oil to be discharged to the hydraulic cylinders. When the tiller reaches the set angle, the tilting lever is restored to the neutral position, which causes the pump to cease discharging. No.1 pump unit is supplied with electric power from the emergency switchboard and the other pump unit from the main switchboard.
3. If the oil level goes down to ‘LOW-LOW’ position:No.1 isolating valve (IV-1) is de-energised and No.1 pump is automatically stopped; No.2 isolating valve (IV-2) is energised and No.2 pump is automatically started. The hydraulic system associated with No.1 pump is isolated. Steering is now carried out by No.2 pump and its two related cylinders (No.3 & No.4).
h) Check operating pressures. Automatic Isolation System Description This steering gear is so arranged that in the event of a loss of hydraulic fluid from one system, the loss can be detected and the defective system automatically isolated within 45 seconds. This allows the other actuating system to remain fully operational with 50% torque available.
4. If the oil loss occurs in No.2 tank, steering continues to be carried out by No.1 pump and its two related cylinders (No.1 &. No.2) with 50% torque. If No.2 pump is running and No.1 pump is stopped, No.1 and No.2 pumps and No.1 and No.2 isolating valves are reversed in the above sequence.
Construction Failure sequence with both pumps running. This system consists of the following equipment: 2 - Isolating valves 2 - Level switches with ‘LOW’ & ‘LOW-LOW’ level positions
If the oil level in No.1 or No.2 oil tank goes down to the ‘LOW-LOW’ level, the associated isolating valve will operate and the respective pump will be automatically stopped.
2 - Oil tanks having a chamber for level switches and system test valves
System testing
Electric control panel for automatic isolation system
The float chamber can be isolated and drained to test the system operation. This should be carried out as part of the pre-departure checks.
Alarm panel for automatic isolation system
Under normal circumstances, all four cylinders will be in use, with one pump unit running and the second pump unit ready to start automatically. When manoeuvring or steaming in confined waters, it is compulsory that both pump units are running, in order to get the IMO recommended tiller movement of 35° on one side to 30° the other side within 28 seconds (with one pump in 56 seconds).

Emergency Steering Drill
If failure occurs in the remote operating system from the wheelhouse, the steering can be operated from the trick wheel in the steering gear room.
Emergency steering drill should be carried out at least once every three months when traffic and navigational restrictions permit.
Description The steering gear consists of a tiller, turned by a four cylinder hydraulic system, that in turn is driven by two electric motors. In accordance with IMO regulations the pumps, hydraulic power circuits and rams can operate as two isolated systems.
It is to consist of the direct operation of the main steering gear by using the manual control within the steering flat. This operation is to be directed from the navigation bridge. After each drill, details and the date it was carried out are to be entered in the Official Log Book and Particulars and Records Book.
The steering gear is fitted with an automatic isolation system. This system is used to divide the hydraulic power circuits in the event of a hydraulic oil loss from the oil tanks. In accordance with IMO regulations the hydraulic pumps used in the steering gear are supplied with power from two independent sources. In the event of power failure from the main switchboard, one pump can be supplied from the emergency switchboard. Procedure for Operation of Steering Gear on Loss of Remote Bridge Control a) On loss of steering gear control from the bridge, establish communication with the bridge via the telephone system. A telephone is located on the steering gear compartment platform. Indication of the rudder angle and a compass repeater are provided for manual control of the steering gear. See Illustration 2.11b b) Turn ‘local/remote’ control switch to local control. This switch is on the ‘No Follow Up’ panel on the starboard side of the steering gear room. c) Operate the push buttons ‘Port’ or ‘Starboard’ to turn the steering gear in the direction request by the bridge. If this system should fail, manual operation can be carried out as follows: a) Switch off the torque motor power. b) Push in the button ‘A’ and screw lock in place. c) The tiller can be moved in accordance with the steering command from the bridge by turning the torque motor shaft knob. The pumps and associated equipment are operated as normal.

Introduction Three identical diesel generators, operating in the medium speed range, supply electrical power for the ship. The engines are six cylinder, turbocharged, uni-directional, four stroke, trunk in line engines, and are normally powered by heavy fuel oil. They can also be supplied with diesel oil, which is used for flushing through, prior to shutting down for maintenance. One diesel generator is used during normal sea going conditions. Two generators are required during: Manoeuvring Tank cleaning operations Cargo discharge Starting Air System The engine is started by means of an air driven starter motor. When the start valve is opened by the remote controlled solenoid, air is supplied to the air start motor. The air supply activates a piston, causing the pinion to engage with the gear rim on the flywheel. When the pinion is fully engaged pilot air opens the main air valve, which supplies air to the air start motor, causing the engine to turn. When the revolutions exceed about 110 rpm, if conditions are normal and firing has taken place, the start valve is closed and the pinion piston and main air valve are vented. A return spring disengages the pinion from the flywheel and the air motor stops.
All cooling water requirements for the generator engines are provided by water from the central low temperature fresh water cooling system. The air cooler and L.O. cooler are supplied from the system after the fresh water cooling pumps. The system serves the air cooler and lubricating oil cooler in parallel and the generator air cooler in series with the L.O. cooler.
The discharge of the fuel feed pump passes through a duplex fuel oil filter. Both filters are normally in use, only shutting one off for maintenance. Turning the top handle two turns cleans the filters. Any sediment can be drained off. Excess fuel not needed by the injection pumps is passed through the overflow pipe and delivered into the manifold, which returns it to the system. This principle ensures that:
The cooling water is supplied automatically on start up. The jacket cooler is supplied from the system immediately before the circulating pump suction. An engine driven pump circulates the jacket spaces and cylinder heads. The engine is kept warm when on standby by circulating the jacket water through a preheater. The engine driven jacket (high temperature) cooling water pump, discharges through the engine jacket and cylinder head cooling water spaces and then to a thermostatically operated valve. If the temperature of the cooling water leaving the engine is below the normal operating temperature, the thermostat will direct the cooling water back to the pump suction. When the cooling water outlet temperature reaches operating temperature, the thermostat will begin to direct the water to the central fresh water cooling system and the pump will partly take its suction from the central fresh water cooling system, thus maintaining a constant temperature. When an engine is on standby or prepared for operation, its jacket cooling water is heated by a thermostatically controlled preheater. An electrically driven circulating water pump is used in conjunction with the heater. The pump discharges into the jacket cooling water pump discharge line through a non return valve and the through the engine cooling water spaces, back to the preheater pump suction via the normal cooling water return line. Non-return valves fitted to the system mean that the engine driven pump will take over from the preheating pump automatically, without the need to open or close valves when the engine starts and the preheating pump will similarly take over from the engine driven pump when the engine stops.
1. There is always an adequately large amount of pressurised fuel available. 2. The heated fuel can be circulated for warming up the piping system and the injection pumps prior to engine starting. 3. The necessary fuel oil temperature can be better maintained. Lubricating Oil System All running gear of the engine is force lubricated by the engine driven gear type pump. The pistons are also supplied by oil as a cooling medium. A prelubrication pump is also fitted to supply oil to the bearings and other running gear before the engine starts, this reduces wear on the engine in the period between the engine starting and the engine driven pump building up lubricating oil pressure. The pre-lubrication pump will be running continuously while the engine is on automatic standby. The engine driven pump and the electrically driven pre-lubrication pump both take suction from the engine sump, and discharge through a cooler and duplex filter to the engine oil supply rail. A control valve on the pump discharge, which relieves any excess pressure back to the sump, controls the pressure. The temperature is controlled by a three way temperature control valve, which regulates how much of the oil passes through the cooler. The turbocharger is supplied from the main circuit via an orifice. The cooler is a plate heat exchanger, with the oil circulating through the flow channels and water from the central fresh water cooling system circulating through the parallel channels in a counter current design.
During starting a pneumatic cylinder operates a stop arm to limit the fuelregulating shaft. Issue: 1

a) Ensure that the engine is switched to local control. Valmet 6 Cylinder 612 DSGJ 142 kW at a continuous speed of 1,800rpm.
b) Check the level of oil in the engine sump and top up as necessary with the correct grade of oil. c) Check the level of water in the radiator and top up as necessary with clean distilled water.
Newage-Stamford UCM274F1 156 kVA
d) Check the level of diesel oil in the emergency generator diesel oil service tank and top up as required.
The emergency diesel generator is a self-contained diesel engine located on the port side of the boat deck. The generator set will start automatically on power failure of the main diesel generators and couple to the emergency switchboard automatically to maintain supplies to essential services. The generator set will also be used to get the ship under power from 'dead ship' condition. It will enable power to be supplied to essential services selectively without the need for external services such as starting air, fuel oil supply and cooling water.
e) Switch the cooling water heater on. (Normally on when engine is stopped). f) Open the fuel oil supply to the diesel engine. (Normally open when engine is stopped). g) Turn the switch to remote operation, and then set the engine for automatic standby operation
The engine is an in-line 6 cylinder turbocharged engine with a self-contained cooling water system. The cooling water is radiator cooled and circulated by an engine driven pump. A thermostat maintains a water outlet temperature of 82 to 93°C. Air is drawn across the radiator by an engine driven fan.
Procedure to Manually Start the Emergency Diesel Engine (using the electric starter) a) Ensure that the engine is switched to local control. b) Check the level of oil in the engine sump and top up as necessary with the correct grade of oil. c) Check the level of water in the radiator and top up as necessary with clean distilled water. d) Check the level of diesel oil in the emergency generator diesel oil service tank and top up as required. e) Turn the idle/run toggle switch on the local panel to ‘run’. f) Turn the crank and start/run/off toggle switches to ‘crank’ and 'start/run' simultaneously. Release the crank toggle switch when the engine has fired. g) Check that the engine is firing smoothly. h) Check the engine oil pressure, cooling water pressure and rpm. Investigate any abnormalities. i) Check that the cooling water heater switches off as the engine heats up and that the thermostat operates to allow cooling water to flow to the radiator as the engine heats further.
The cooling water is circulated by an engine driven pump, which also supplies cooling water to the lubricating oil cooler. An electric heater is fitted to keep the cooling water at 40 to 50°C when the engine is on automatic standby.
j) If required, load the engine, otherwise allow it to run idle or stop it.
The engine running gear is force lubricated, an engine driven gear pump drawing oil from the integral sump and pumping it through the cooler and then through a filter before being supplied to the lubricating oil rail.
k) When the engine has stopped, check that the heater switches on, turn the switch to remote operation and then restore the engine to automatic standby.
The engine is normally started by means of an electric starter motor, power to the motor being supplied by batteries, which are on constant charge while the ship is in service. A hydraulic starter is also fitted, hydraulic power being manually generated by a hand pump. An accumulator is charged by a hand pump, which drives a hydraulic motor on the flywheel when the stored energy is released. This system can be utilised when starting the engine from the dead ship condition. The engine can be manually started locally using either the electric or hydraulic starter motor, but when switched to automatic operation, only the electric starter motor is utilised. The engine should be started once per week and run up to full load monthly. Whenever the engine has been started, the diesel oil tank must be checked and refilled if the level has dropped to or below the ‘24 hour operation’ level. Issue: 1

Maersk Ramsey Procedure to Manually Start the Emergency Diesel Engine (using the hydraulic starter)
Machinery Operating Manual p) When the engine has stopped, switch the heater on, turn the switch to remote operation. Restore the engine to automatic standby.
a) Switch the engine to local control. q) Should the engine fail to start, repeat steps h) to k). b) Check the level of oil in the engine sump and top up as necessary with the correct grade of oil. c) Check the level of water in the radiator and top up as necessary with clean distilled water. d) Check the level of diesel oil in the emergency generator diesel oil service tank and top up as required. e) Switch the cooling water heater on. (Normally on when engine is stopped). f) Open the fuel oil supply to the diesel engine. (Normally open when engine is stopped).
Procedure for Stopping the Engine after Running on Load a) Shed load from engine. b) Allow engine to idle for 5 minutes before shutting down to allow the cooling water and lubricating oil to carry away heat from the combustion chambers, bearings, shafts etc. It is particularly important for the turbocharger where a sudden stop can lead to a 400C rise, which could damage the bearings and seals. c) Long periods of idling will result in poor combustion and build up of carbon deposits. d) Switch start/run/off toggle switch to off.
g) Check the level of oil in the hydraulic reservoir and top up if necessary with the correct grade of oil. h) The trip lever of the starter must be in the upright position, if not, pull the reset knob. The trip lever will immediately spring to its upright position.
e) When the engine has stopped, switch the heater on, turn the switch to remote operation. Restore the engine to automatic standby.
i) Operate the hydraulic hand pump to charge the hydraulic accumulator to an approximate pressure of 200 kg/cm2. When white springs are visible through the inspection window, the starter is ready to start a warm engine. When red springs are visible it means the starter will start a cold engine. j) Switch the start/run/off toggle switch to start/run. k) Push down the trip lever through 90°. This will immediately release the starter. l) Check that the engine is firing smoothly. m) Check the engine oil pressure, cooling water pressure and rpm. n) Check that the cooling water heater switches off as the engine heats up and that the thermostat operates to allow cooling water to flow to the radiator as the engine heats further. o) If required, load the engine, otherwise allow it to run idle or stop it by switching the start/run/off toggle switch to off.

Introduction Only one diesel generator is normally used during normal sea going conditions. Two generators are required when: Manoeuvring
The main switchboard feeds the emergency switchboard, which is situated in the emergency switchboard room. The main switchboard 230volt section is fed from the 440volt switchboard via two transformers. The emergency generator will start automatically in the event of a blackout and feed the emergency switchboard. A power management system controls the starting, stopping, connection and load sharing of the generators. If a failure occurs and one of the generators sheds non-essential loads, another generator will auto start and reconfigure the power distribution. Group starter and distribution boards are provided in suitable positions to supply the various power, heating, lighting, communication and navigation equipment throughout the vessel. The large motors and group starter panels are supplied from the 440volt switchboard directly. Power for other smaller power consuming devices are supplied from the 440volt switchboard through group starter or distribution panels.
Cargo loading Cargo discharging Tank cleaning The emergency generator has sufficient capacity to supply the auxiliaries required to start a main diesel generator in the event of total power failure. All three main generators can operate in parallel, but not with the emergency generator. Power Distribution System
Each distribution circuit is protected, against overcurrent and short circuit current, by a moulded case circuit breaker fitted on the switchboard or panel board with inverse time overcurrent trip and instantaneous trip. Each steering gear motor is fed from an independent circuit, one steering gear motor being connected to the main switchboard and the other being connected to the emergency switchboard. A general service 24volt battery charging switchboard supplies the engine and wheel house consoles, along with other essential low voltage services.
The switchboards are of dead front box frame construction without a bottom plate and have hinged front panels that can be opened without disturbing the meters, pilot lamps, etc. mounted on them. Busbars, cubicle rows and tiers are segregated so that a fault in one cubicle cannot spread to another. A synchronising panel is supplied on the switchboard. The generator circuit breakers are of the air circuit breaker type. Feeder Circuit Breaker The feeder circuits supplied from the 440V feeder panel of the switchboard are protected by a moulded case circuit breaker with inverse time thermal over current trip, instantaneous magnetic trip and short circuit current interruption features. The AC 220V feeder circuit is protected by a moulded case circuit breaker with inverse time, thermal overcurrent trip, instantaneous magnetic trip and short circuit current interruption features. The moulded case circuit breakers for the main and emergency switchboards are of the plug-in type, so that the breakers may be removed from the panel front without de-energising the main busbar. However, the moulded case circuit breakers for group starter panels and distribution panels are of the fixed type. Automatic Synchronising Control An automatically controlled synchronising apparatus, which consists of the automatic speed matcher and the automatic synchroniser, is provided for the ship’s service generator sets. The automatic speed matcher equalises the generator frequency with busbar frequency. The automatic synchroniser energises the air circuit breaker to connect two circuits in parallel at the moment when both phases coincide. Automatic Power and Frequency Control
Each supply system is provided with a device for continuously monitoring the insulation level to earth, giving an audible and visual indication of abnormal low insulation level.
General Description The main switchboard consists of: Three generator panels
A shore connection is provided to supply power to the main 440V switchboard.
A synchronising panel
An automatically controlled power and frequency control system is provided for each ship’s service generator. In general, the power management system controls the effective output of the generators operated in parallel.

Maersk Ramsey The power management system also controls the following: The number of running generators in accordance with the ship’s power demand. The start of large motors is blocked until the number of running generators is sufficient to supply the motor and ship’s demand. In this case the first standby generator is started and synchronised automatically.
Machinery Operating Manual Preference Trip
4. Stopping the Generator
See section 2.13.5
In order to stop the generator in operation, first reduce its load by stopping the auxiliary machinery and then turn the ACB switch to open.
Non-essential loads are interrupted automatically, in case of over-current of any one of the main diesel generators, to prevent the ship's power failure. Procedure for the Manual Operation of Connecting Generators to the Switchboard
Avoid opening the ACB when the generator is on load, as it will cause an instantaneous rise in the engine speed and possible overspeed trip. 5. Parallel Running Procedure
Motors
1. Instruments and Control Devices
a) Start the second generator by following the same procedure as for starting the first generator.
The 440volt motors, in general, are of the squirrel cage induction type with a standard frame designed for AC 440V three phase 60 Hz. The exception are the motors for domestic service and small capacity motors of 0.4 kW or less.
The generator panels are equipped with an ammeter, kilowatt/hour meter and voltmeter to measure the output of the generator. The air circuit breaker, reverse power relay and over-current relay are provided for generator protection.
b) After confirmation of the voltage of the second generator, align the frequency with that of the running generator.
Where continuous rated motors are used, the overload setting ensures the motor trips at 100% of the full load current. The motors in the engine room are of the totally enclosed fan cooled type. Standby motors will start when no voltage is detected on the in-service motor or when the process pressure is low.
The synchronising panel is equipped with a double frequency-meter, double voltmeter and wattmeters for comparing the output of the generator to the busbar. A synchroscope and synchronising lamps are provided for parallel operation. 2. Engine Starting and Stopping
440Volt Starters The starters are generally constructed in group control panels and power distribution panels. The drawings for the starter circuit are enclosed in a vinyl envelope and kept in a pocket inside each starter panel. Large motor starters are arranged in group starter panels on the main switch board, with duplicated equipment starters split between each of the main switchboard group starter panels. The control voltage of the starters is AC 230V. Interlocked door isolators are provided for all starters. For group starters, this switch is of the moulded case circuit breaker which functions as both disconnecting means and overcurrent protection of the motor circuit.
The engine can be remotely started by a push button on the generator panel as follows: a) Switch the required generator to MANUAL.
d) Check the direction of rotation. If it is revolving in the ‘FAST’ direction, turn the governor switch of the second generator to the ‘LOWER’ direction. If it is revolving in the ‘SLOW’ direction, then turn the governor switch to the ‘RAISE’ direction. e) Adjust the speed until the synchroscope pointer moves to the 12 o’clock position, showing the state of synchronisation.
b) Select remote control on diesel. c) Operate the engine START push button. This will open the start valve to start the engine. When voltage is established the generator is in RUN mode. d) To stop the engine, operate the engine STOP push button.
Sequential Re-start 3. Single Generator Running Procedure - on to Dead Bus See section 2.13.5 Essential service motors, which were in service before the blackout, are started automatically on recovery of the main bus voltage. These motors are classified into groups (consistent with voltage dip and over-current) to the generator and shall start according to the predetermined restarting sequence. Motors that were selected for duty before the blackout are automatically returned to duty after the blackout. Similarly, motors selected for standby are automatically returned to standby.
c) Once the voltage and frequency of both generators are identical, change over the synchroscope to the incoming generator and check the synchronous state by means of the synchroscope. The pointer needle will revolve in accordance with the difference in frequency.
a) Start the engine as above. As voltage is established, the running lamp will be illuminated.
f) Energise the air circuit breaker of the second generator immediately. g) It is ideal to close the air circuit breaker when the pointer of the synchroscope turns in the ‘FAST’ direction and is closing on the black mark at the centre (5mins to noon!). ‘SLOW’ side turning may cause operation of the reverse power relay. If the frequency difference between the two generators in parallel operation exceeds 3Hz the synchroscope will not revolve. With this in mind, operate the governor switch to decrease this difference. Observe the bus/incoming generator frequency meter for reference.
b) At rated speed the voltage will rise to 440volts, indicated by the voltmeter. c) Adjust the frequency to 60Hz by means of the governor raise/lower switch. The rated values are indicated by red marks on the corresponding meters. d) Close the circuit breaker (ACB).

Maersk Ramsey 6. Load Sharing a) Having achieved parallel operation, load sharing is accomplished by increasing the input from the incoming engine. This is increased by means of the governor switch. This speeds up the incoming generator, causing the first generator to lose load and gain speed, thus causing the frequency to rise. To prevent this, the governor switch of the first generator must be turned in the ‘LOWER’ direction. This action also causes the load to be transferred to the incoming generator. Ensure the frequency remains constant during this operation. b) Equalise the load of both generators.
Machinery Operating Manual 3. Automatic Parallel Running Activated by Heavy Load
6. Automatic Bus Connection due to Short Circuit
If the generator in use registers a high load of 740 kW (95% of the rated power), for 10 seconds, the first standby generator will go through the following sequence:
If the bus voltage has become zero, by the opening of the ACB of the generator in use, due to a short circuit trip, the first stand by generator will go through the following sequence: 1. Engine starts

7. Automatic Change Over by Bus Abnormality
7. Generator Space Heaters A space heater is provided in each generator to prevent condensation forming on the windings. The space heater switch should always be in the on position. The heater is interlocked with the ACB which switches the heater off when closed and switches it on when opened. Procedure for Automatic Operation of Connecting Generators to the Switchboard
If the first standby generator fails to start or the ACB fails to close, the second standby generator will start and follow the above sequence. 4. Automatic Parallel Run Activated by Heavy Consumer Request If a start request is received from a heavy consumer (eg: fire/ballast pump) the first standby generator will go through the following sequence:

1. Engine starts
1. Generator Auto Start onto Dead Bus
2. Voltage build up detected
The selected diesel generator is in auto mode and the start condition is normal. The ‘DG AUTO READY TO RUN’ indicating lamp is illuminated. The control PLC monitors a trip or black out and therefore initiates the following sequence:
3. Automatic synchronisation
3. If bus now normal, the ACB closes 4. If bus status still abnormal, the ACB opens on the abnormal generator.
4. ACB closes 5. Black-out
5. Automatic load sharing on 1. Engine starts 6. Power available lamp illuminated at heavy consumer

9. Automatic Parallel Running Due to Overcurrent
5. Abnormality Due to Reverse Power
If the current on a running generator exceeds 1,251 amps for a period exceeding three seconds the next standby generator will go through the following sequence:
If there are abnormalities in the output of an engine during parallel operation, it may cause the generator to function as a motor, due to the power it receives from the other generator(s) through the common busbar. The effective reverse power will then flow through the connected circuit. If this reverse power reaches a level of 5% of the rated power, the reverse power relay is triggered and will trip the ACB after a time delay of 5 seconds.
1. Engine starts 2. Voltage build-up detected
6. Emergency Generator Abnormality Due to Overcurrent
3. Automatic synchronisation
If the current on the running generator exceeds 110% of the rated maximum (265A) for 30 seconds, the overcurrent relay will operate to trip the generator ACB.
4. ACB closes 5. Automatic load sharing on
7. Emergency Generator Abnormality Due to Short Circuit
Generator Protection Equipment The generator is protected from the abnormal conditions described below by means of the reverse power trip, short circuit trip, under voltage trip, and overcurrent trips.
If a short circuit occurs on the busbar or the current exceeds 300% of rated maximum (723A) the ACB will be tripped almost instantaneously (about 200msec) by the short time delay trip fitted to the ACB The emergency generator ACB is also fitted with an under voltage device identical in operation to the main generators.
1. Abnormality Due to Under Voltage If the voltage of a generator decreases to less than 50% of the rated value, the under voltage tripping device, contained in the air circuit breaker, will operate to trip the breaker. If a short-circuit fault occurs, the generator voltage will lower and may cause the under voltage tripping device (U.V.T.) to operate. With this in mind, a time delay device (of about 0.5 seconds) has been fitted to the undervoltage device to prevent the ACB from tripping immediately, allowing the defective system circuit breaker to operate first. 2. Abnormality Due to Overcurrent (preference tripping) If the current on a running generator exceeds 1,251 amps for a period of 10 seconds, the overcurrent relay will initiate the release of the first stage of preferential tripping. If the current still exceeds 1,251 amps after a further 5 seconds the second stage of preferential tripping is released. Thereby providing protection against the overcurrent which would otherwise trip the ACB. 3. Abnormality Due to Overcurrent (long time delay trip) If the current on a running generator exceeds 1,251 amps for a period of 50 seconds the overcurrent relay will operate to trip the ACB. 4. Abnormality Due to Short Circuit If a short circuit occurs on the busbar or the current exceeds 3,200 amps, the ACB will be tripped almost instantaneously (about 300msec) by the short time delay trip fitted to the ACB.

General Description Three main alternators are provided. Each alternator is rated at 1,137.5 kVA at 450volts AC, 3ph, 60Hz. They are of the totally enclosed, self excited, brushless type. The load voltage is kept constant by controlling the excitation current to the exciter. Output power from the stator is fed into a current/voltage compound transformer and the output of this is fed through the exciter stator windings. The magnetic field in the exciter stator induces AC in the excited rotor, which is rectified by the rotating three phase bridge connected rectifier set and passed to the DC main rotor windings. Initial voltage build-up is by residual magnetism in the rotor. Constant voltage control is achieved by the automatic voltage regulator, which shunts a variable current through the exciter windings, via a thyristor, to keep the AC stator output voltage constant. Passing air over an integral fresh water cooler, using a closed circuit air supply, cools the generator. The cooling spaces are fitted with internal baffles to prevent water reaching the stator windings in the event of cooler leakage. Space heaters are fitted, which are energised when the generator circuit breakers are open, which protects against internal condensation during shut down periods.
The diesel alternator will automatically start and connect to the main switchboard under the following conditions: Dead bus due to blackout Bus abnormal (high or low voltage, high or low frequency) ACB abnormal trip The diesel alternator will start, synchronise, connect to the busbar and run in parallel with proportional load sharing under the following conditions: Overload. The preferential trip system will first shed non-essential load Heavy electrical consumer start request
The breakers are normally operated by the automatic power management system, but can be operated manually at the main switchboard front. An embedded sensor monitors the stator temperature in each phase. A water leakage detector and temperature sensor are also fitted in each air cooler. The two main bearings have temperature sensors. The electric power system is designed with discrimination on the distribution system, so that the generator breaker is the last to open if any abnormalities occur. One diesel alternator provides electrical power at sea, with the remaining two on standby. The priority order of the standby alternator is selected using the push buttons mounted on the synchronising section of the main switchboard panel 8. Starting of large motors is blocked until there is sufficient power available. Another diesel alternator will be started on request to meet the shortfall.

Preferential Tripping
Stage 1
When normal power is restored after a blackout, all essential service machinery that were in service before the blackout will be started automatically when the main switchboard has regained power. Motors that were selected for duty before the blackout will be automatically returned to duty when power is restored. Similarly, motors selected for standby will automatically return to standby. If the machinery designated for duty does not restore normal system conditions, such as pressure, within a preset time, the standby motor will cut in automatically. If power is only restored to the emergency switchboard, motors whose supply is from the emergency switchboard will start irrespective of any previous selection.
The following non-essential consumers will be shed after 10 seconds:
Automatic Standby Start
The power management system is designed to match the alternator capacity to the power requirements of the vessel. However, should overcurrent occur for any of the main alternators, non-essential services will be tripped.

2.13.7 Batteries, Transformers, Rectifiers and Chargers
24V Charge/Discharge Board Battery Charger
Operating Procedure
Batteries
The 24V charge and discharge board is provided with chargers to allow the equalising and floating charge of the battery in order to supply power to the emergency lighting system, communication equipment, alarms, etc.
The battery charger is a fully automatic charging device which serves for the automatic charging of the storage battery.
The main 24V system is supplied by a battery charger/rectifier. The charger/rectifier unit consists of two chargers configured in parallel with one 300AH battery bank. No.1 charger is fed from the main switchboard 440V section and No.2 is fed from the emergency switchboard 440V section.
Floating Charge The unit is fitted with two chargers, one supplied from the main switchboard and one supplied from the emergency switchboard. In an emergency the appropriate charger can be utilised by the selection switch on the front panel.
In the event of power failure, the 24V system is fed from the bank of batteries. The board contains the following equipment: See section 2.13.1 for a list of consumers, which consist of emergency lighting, alarm indication without audible alarms and illumination of steering and compass equipment. The batteries are on a floating charge, with the rectifier supplying the normal requirements. The battery will supply additional requirements during periods of heavy demand.
Power on indication lamp
A constant voltage is applied to the battery and the charging current will vary according to charged state of the battery, thus always maintaining the battery in the fully charged state. In this arrangement, a constant voltage is normally applied to the battery by the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) regardless of load variation, power variation, ambient temperature change, etc.
Boost charge indication lamp Charge failure indication lamp Two 0-40V battery voltmeters Two 0-40A battery charger ammeters
A separate 24V battery and charger system is provided for the emergency generator starting arrangements.
0-100A ammeter to monitor total supply load
A separate 24V battery and charger system is provided for the radio/GMDSS system.
100-0-100 battery ammeter
Transformers
Insulation monitor and alarm unit
Two 440/230V, 3ph, 99kVA transformers supply the main switchboard 230V section from the 440V feeder section.
Charger change over facilities
Two 440/230V, 3ph, 45kVA transformers supply the emergency switchboard 230V section from the 440V feeder section.
While the storage battery is fully charged, it is normally subjected to a floating charge. In this condition, the charger supplies the 24V system with power. During periods of high demand and failure of the power source the battery will take over.
0-40V voltmeter to monitor main 24V bus
The charge and discharge performed after the recovery from a power interruption is subjected to automatic control by the drooping device, which holds the battery charging current below a fixed current thus preventing it from becoming excessively large. If the battery has been subjected to a period of duty due to power failure, on restoration of the power supply, the battery charger is automatically transferred to equalising charge and rapidly charges the battery. As soon as the battery becomes fully charged, it reverts to floating charge.
Earth lamps with test switch
The charger is fitted with a battery voltage monitoring facility which will raise an alarm if the battery voltage falls below a preset level. The unit is also fitted with a charger failure alarm. The board should be regularly inspected for earths on the outgoing circuits by operation of the the earth lamps. When an earth is present on an outgoing circuit, one of the lamps will glow brighter than the other. Careful isolation of the outgoing circuits will locate the faulty circuit with the lamps returning to their normal equal brilliance once the faulty circuit is isolated.

2.13.8 Impressed Current Cathodic Protection
Operation
Propeller and Rudder Stock Earthing
Introduction
Protection is achieved by passing low voltage DC current between the hull metal and anodes, insulated from the hull, but in contact with the sea water. The electrical potential of the hull is maintained in a more negative state than the anodes, i.e. cathodic, and in this condition corrosion is minimised. Careful control is necessary over the flow of impressed current, which will vary with the ship’s speed, salinity and temperature of the sea water, and the condition of the hull paint work. If the potential of the hull is made too negative with respect to the anode, then damage to the paint film can occur electrolytically or through the evolution of hydrogen gas between hull steel and paint. The system on this vessel controls the impressed electrical current automatically to ensure optimum protection. Current is fed through titanium electrodes situated forward and aft of the ship. The titanium prevents the anodes themselves from corroding and the anode surfaces are streamlined into the hull. Fixed zinc reference electrodes forward and aft are used to compare the potential of the hull to that normally found between unprotected steel and zinc electrodes. Sufficient current is impressed via the anodes to reduce this to a level of between 150 and 250 mV.
To avoid electrolytic corrosion of shaft bearings and rudder stock, brushes are fitted and bonded to the ship's structure. In the case of the shaft, a slip ring is clamped to the shaft and is earthed to the hull via brushes. A second set of brushes, insulated from earth, monitors the shaft mV potential and this signal is fed to a millivolt meter. To ensure efficient bonding, the slip ring should be cleaned on a regular basis.
Maker : Power Supply:
Jotun AC 440V, 60Hz, 3ph
The vessel is provided with an impressed current cathodic protection system. This method of corrosion protection automatically controls electrochemical corrosion of the ship’s hull structure below the water line. Cathodic protection can be compared to a simple battery cell, consisting of two plates in an electrolyte. One of the battery plates in the electrolyte will waste away through the action of the flow of electrical current, if the two battery electrodes are connected electrically. The metal to be protected, in this case, the ship’s hull, acts as the battery anode, the sea water being the electrolyte. If an external flow of current is impressed to reverse the normal flow in the battery, then the anode now acts as a cathode and ceases to waste away. In essence, this is how an impressed current cathodic protection system functions. When a vessel is fitted with ICCP (Impressed Current Cathodic Protection) the hull steel is maintained at an electrical potential more negative that the surrounding seawater. For this reason, terminals normally comply with the ISGOTT Recommendation 20.6, Earthing, Bonding and Cathodic Protection, which states, referring to IMO recommendations for the safe transport, handling and storage of dangerous substances in port areas, that ship shore bonding cables should be discouraged. High currents that can occur in earthing cables and metallic connections are avoided. These are due to potential differences between ship and terminal structure particularly due to the residual potential difference that can exist for up to 24 hours after the shipboard ICCP has been switched off. These terminals usually utilise insulating flanges on hose connections to electrically isolate ship and terminal structure. During preparations for berthing at terminals where such insulation is not employed, or where earth connections are mandatory by local regulation, or when bunker barges come alongside, the ICCP should be switched off at least 24 hours in advance.
The rudder stock is earthed via a 70mm2 flexible earth cable between the deck head and rudder stock to minimise any electrolytic potential across bearings and bushes. Sacrificial Anodes Sacrificial zinc anodes are provided in the water ballast tanks. Aluminium anodes are fitted to the sea chests and rudder. Preparations for the Operation of the ICCP System a) Supply power to the control unit.
Electrical Installation The system consists of a Controller Power Unit, reference electrodes and anodes are installed, one forward and one aft. System status readings are available on an L.C.D. display at the control unit and these should be inspected and logged each day. This control unit is also equipped with an alarm to give warning of any system abnormalities.
b) Switch to manual mode. c) Check the voltage of each reference electrode. d) Switch to automatic mode. e) Set the control to the required level. Routine checks
Aft System The aft system consists of a power supply and control unit. Each control unit is connected to two hull mounted anodes and one hull mounted reference cell. The aft unit is supplied from 25A circuit breaker Q03 in engine room 440V distribution board P6.
a) Record the total current on a daily basis. Manual operation will only be required on the failure of the reference electrodes. b) Check the reference electrode voltage on a daily basis.
Fresh Water Operation
Forward System
c) Check and clean the shaft slip ring and brushes every month.
When the vessel enters a river estuary, the fresh or brackish water may limit the spread of current from the anodes due to the higher resistivity of the water. Normally this would cause the voltage output to increase to compensate for it, accompanied by very low current levels and the reference electrode potentials may indicate under protection. However, in this system this is taken care of by the computer and the system will automatically return the hull to optimum protective level on returning to sea water.
The forward system consists of one hull mounted reference cell.
d) Inspect the rudder stock earth strap every month. e) Inspect and clean control unit cooling fans and grills every three months.

2.13.9 Thrusters
Operating Principle
Maker: Type:
In the propeller hub there is a servomotor which turns the propeller blades. The servomotor consists of an integrated piston and an axially moving piston rod. The movement is obtained by leading pressure oil to one side or the other of the piston.
Control of pitch with proportional thrust command
The piston rod has a crosshead with four transverse slots for sliding shoes, one for each of the blades.
Start/stop of drive motor and hydraulic pump motor
Kamewa 1650 K/BMS - CP
Overview The vessel is equipped with a bow and stern thruster. The Tunnel Thruster System consists of four main parts: 1. A tunnel with propeller unit, a driving motor, a hydraulic system, and an electric control system. 2. The propeller unit is driven by an electric motor at a constant speed and single direction of rotation. The propeller is provided with hydraulically adjustable propeller blades, which makes it possible to vary the magnitude and direction of thrust. 3. The tunnel thruster facilitates the manoeuvring of the vessel to a great extent when speeds are low or zero. The ship's tunnel thruster is also a useful complement to the ship's rudder even at higher speeds. The thruster and the rudder together give an increased steering effect. 4. The controllable pitch tunnel thruster runs at a constant shaft speed. Power and thrust are controlled by changing the pitch of the blades. The propeller always rotates in the same direction. As starboard and port thrust must be equal, the blades are designed with zero initial pitch and symmetrical blade section. The tunnel thruster has two purposes. One is to keep the vessel in position in a crosswind, the other one is to turn the vessel at zero or low ahead speed. (Note ! When a stationary vessel is turned with a tunnel thruster, the vessel is also given a sideways motion. The simultaneous turning and crabbing results in a slow longitudinal motion of the vessel - ahead when the tunnel thruster is located in the bow - astern when it is located at the stern. This should be kept in mind when manoeuvring in narrow harbours.) The propeller unit comprises a propeller tunnel in which a single stay gear housing is bolted A four bladed propeller and shaft assembly are mounted in bearings in the gear housing. The main part of the tunnel thruster is the propeller hub with blades and the propeller shaft. The shaft is supported by one spherical roller bearing and two axial roller bearings. The shaft seal of rubber sleeves prevents water from penetrating and oil leakage.
The control panels have the following features:
Indication of pitch Indication of drive motor current
Indication of alarm
The eccentric crankpin fits into the hole of the sliding shoe. The crankpin ring is supported in a bearing lining, which is integrated within the hub body.
Operating Procedures
When the piston rod moves, the crankpin ring rotates with the circular movement transmitted via the piston rod slot sliding shoe and crankpin.
Before Starting the Tunnel Thruster
The propeller blade, which is fixed on the crankpin ring by screws, will then turn. Each blade is provided with a sealing ring to prevent water entrance to the hub or oil leakage. Remote Control System
a) Check that power is available. b) Start the electric driven hydraulic pump. c) Check that no alarm exists. d) The pitch will automatically go to zero. Starting the Drive Motor
The control system is a microprocessor based remote control system used to control the pitch setting of the tunnel thruster. The system can order both port and starboard manoeuvres by changing the pitch setting while the propeller blades continue rotating in one direction. The manoeuvring is performed from a control station equipped with a control lever. When ordering thrust with the control lever, the system applies the proper pitch setting according to a pitch curve which is pre-programmed in the computer, allowing the thrust to be proportional to the lever position. When manoeuvring, the load of the drive motor is controlled by the system through automatic regulation of the pitch. The maximum allowed load is determined by the ‘load limit’. When there is more than one control station, there is also a responsibility system included, which allows only one control station at a time to be ‘In Command’. On each control station the actual pitch setting of the tunnel thruster(s) will be continuously indicated.
a) Start the drive motor. b) Check that the drive motor has started. A lamp indicates that the drive motor running. c) The tunnel thruster is now ready for use. Control Panel Selection a) Select the control panel by pushing the ‘COMMAND REQUEST’ push-button. When the ‘IN COMMAND’ lamp lights, the control panel is in command. b) The propeller thrust can now be manoeuvred in the desired direction by means of the control lever. c) The propeller thrust is approximately proportional to the position of the control lever, via the pitch curve. Stopping the Tunnel Thruster
The driving motor can be started only when the propeller blades are in zero position, which reduces the starting torque to a minimum. This means low starting current.
a) Set the control lever in ‘0’ position.
Control of the system is generally from the main bridge or bridge wings, but can be controlled from the engine control room usually for pre-departure tests or due to control system failure.
c) Stop the electrically driven hydraulic pump.
b) Stop the drive motor.

Pitch Control Operation
Change of Control Station from Bridge to ECR
Control lever
When the switch in the control room is switched from position ‘Bridge’ to position ‘ECR’, the command will be directly transferred from bridge to ECR.
The control lever can be rotated ±60° with click stop locations for the outputs 0-1/2-1. The propeller thrust is approximately proportional to the position of the control lever, via the pitch curve.
Change of Control Station from ECR to Bridge
The control system controls the pitch. The lever movement is transmitted to the central unit and fed into a function generator (FG) where the required relationship between lever position and pitch command can be adjusted.
When the switch in control room is switched from position ‘ECR’ to position ‘Bridge’ the command will not be transferred until ‘Command request’ is pushed at any of the bridge control stations. Until then no station will be in command.
Output from the F.G. is the pitch command, which is fed to the regulator where it is compared to the actual pitch position, (feedback signal). The pitch correction signal, from the load control process and the external thrust reduction, is also fed to the regulator.
When set for ECR operation the pitch can be operated using the push buttons on the ECR panel. These act directly on the hydraulic control valves. The main control system is bypassed and the control failure alarm blocked.
If there is a difference between ordered and actual pitch, the hydraulic pitch control valve is activated in order to correct the actual pitch setting until the control error (difference) has disappeared.
Load Control
Change from Main Bridge to Bridge Wing Control Push the ‘Command Request/Test’ button for request of command and transferring between main bridge and the bridge wing station(s). (When the drive motor is stopped, pitch testing is possible by pushing this button). The ‘In Command’ lamp lights, indicating when the control station in question is ‘In Command’. (Can only be in command when the drive motor is started). When the command is on ‘Bridge’ the command can be transferred between main bridge control station and the bridge wing control station(s).
The load control system prevents the drive motor from being overloaded. The system measures the drive motor current, i.e. load on the drive motor. The load signal is compared to the Load limit parameter (Load limit 1 or Load limit 2). If the drive motor current is too high, the pitch, as well as the drive motor load, will be reduced. To prevent mechanical damage at high speed, pitch changes, caused for example by air in the hydraulic system, is protected by supervision of a pitch response overspeed. Emergency Stop
When the push button ‘Command Request’ is pushed the command is directly transferred. The lamps ‘In Command’ indicates which station is in command.
The emergency stop push-button activates an opening contact which causes the drive motor to stop. The drive motor running information disappears. When the drive motor is stopped, the pitch is automatically reset to zero.
Change from Main Bridge to ECR Control
Drive Motor Start/Stop
When in Control Room control the lamp indicates ‘Control Room’ in command.
In order to be able to start the drive motor, the pitch must be in zero position and the hydraulic pump motor has to be running.
When in Bridge control the lamp indicates ‘Bridge’ in command.
When stopping the drive motor, the drive motor running information disappears, causing the control system to steer the pitch to zero.
The Switch BR/ECR is used for manoeuvre station change over. When Command request button is pressed on the bridge, the switch is changed to ‘Bridge.’ For switching over the control between Bridge and Engine Control Room there is a manoeuvre responsibility system.
In order to be able to start the drive motor, the hydraulic pump motor must first be started by using the ‘Hydr. start’ push button. If the hydraulic pump motor is stopped by using the ‘Hydr. stop’ push button, the drive motor will be stopped as well, due to lack of hydraulic pressure.
The Engine Control Room is the master control station where the switch ‘BR/ECR’ is located. Issue: 1

Boiler sample cooler Water is supplied to the fresh water system by two pumps, which pressurise the hydrophore tank. One of the pumps will be on duty with the other pump on automatic standby. Cold sterilised fresh water is supplied under pressure to the accommodation for domestic purposes. The hydrophore tank supplies outlets in the engine room, accommodation and deck. Cold water is also supplied to the calorifier where it is heated for the domestic hot water system. The calorifier is a thermostatically controlled vertical storage and heating vessel of 1m3 capacity, which utilises steam or electricity to provide the heat. The electric heater is reserved for use when the steam plant is shut down or during refit. Fresh water is heated to 70°C and is then circulated around the ship by the hot water circulating pump. By continually circulating the hot water around the ship, water is saved by not having to run as much water off in order to get hot water at the outlet. Both the steam and electrical supplies are thermostatically controlled. A separate fresh water pump supplies water to the water spray fire extinguishing system in the purifier and generator rooms. The pump draws water directly from the fresh water storage tanks. The hydrophore system can supply the water spray extinguishing system in an emergency.

Maersk Ramsey 2.14.2 Domestic Refrigeration System Introduction Cooling for the meat room and vegetable room is provided by a direct expansion R-134 system. The plant is automatic and consists of two compressors, two condensers and one evaporator coil in the meat room and one evaporator coil in the vegetable room. Air in the cold rooms is circulated through the evaporator coils by electrically driven fans.
Machinery Operating Manual A back pressure controlled constant pressure valve is included in the vegetable rooms to prevent the temperature dropping too far below the normal set point, which would damage the provisions, should the inlet solenoid valve fail to close properly.
e) Open the valves for the condensation water. Check there is sufficient flow.
Any leaks of refrigerant gas from the system will result in the system becoming undercharged. The symptoms of the system being undercharged will be low suction and discharge pressures, with the system eventually becoming ineffective with bubbles appearing in the sight glass.
g) Start the compressor.
A side effect of low refrigerant gas charge is an apparent low lubricating oil level in the sump. A low charge level will result in excess oil being entrapped in the circulating refrigerant, causing the level in the sump to drop.
f) Open suction valve one turn.
h) Continue opening suction the valve slowly taking care not to allow liquid into the compressor. Also take care to keep the suction pressure above the cut out point. Whilst running: i) Check the inlet and outlet pressure gauges.
The meat room evaporator is equipped with a timer controlled electric defrosting element. The frequency of defrosting is chosen by means of a defrosting relay built into the starter panel. Under normal conditions one compressor/condenser unit is in operation, with the other on standby, but on manual start up with all valves shut until required. The plant is not designed for parallel operation of the two systems because of a risk of transfer of lubricating oil between the compressors. The compressor draws R-134 vapour from the cold room cooling coils and pumps it under pressure to the low temperature fresh water cooled condenser where the vapour is condensed.
When the system is charged to full capacity the excess oil will be separated out and returned to the sump. During operation the level as shown in the condenser level gauge will drop. If the system does become undercharged the whole system should be checked for leakage.
To put the Cooler Rooms System into Operation a) Open the refrigerant supply to one cooler room.
The added refrigerant is dried before entering the system. Any trace of moisture in the refrigerant system will lead to problems with the thermostatic expansion valve icing up and subsequent blockage.
c) Repeat the above for the other cooler room.
Refrigeration Plant
The compressors are protected by high pressure, low pressure and low lubricating oil pressure cut-out switches. Each unit is also fitted with a crankcase heater.
Maker: No. of sets: Model:
Thermostats in each room enable a temperature regulating device to operate the solenoid valves independently, so as to reduce the number of starts and running time of the compressor.
Operating Procedures
When all the solenoid valves at the air coolers are closed by the room thermostats, the low-pressure switch will stop the compressor.
k) Check for leakages.
When required, additional refrigerant can be added through the liquid charging line, after first venting the connection between the refrigerant bottle and the charging connection.
The liquid refrigerant is returned through a dryer unit and filtered to the cold room evaporators.
The air coolers convert the refrigerant as it expands into a super-cooled vapour, under the control of the expansion valves. This vapour is then returned to the compressor through the non-return valves.
j) Check the oil level and oil pressure.
b) Open the refrigerant returns from the cooler room.
Daikin Ind. Ltd 2 RHSD 5A
To Start the Refrigeration Plant a) All stop valves (except the compressor suction) in the refrigerant line should be opened and fully back seated to prevent the pressure in the valve reaching the valve gland. b) The crankcase heater on the compressor to be used should be switched on at least 3 hours prior to starting the compressor. c) Check that the oil level is correct. d) Start up the ancillaries and pumps.

Defrosting The air cooler in the meat room is fitted with electrical defrosting, i.e. evaporator and drip trays are provided with electric heating elements. The frequency of defrosting is chosen by means of a defrosting relay built into the starter panel. The defrosting sequence is as follows: a) The compressor stops and all solenoid valves in the system close. b) The fans in the meat room stop working but the fan in the vegetable room continues the circulation of the warm air over the coolers. In this way the cooling surfaces are kept free from ice. c) The electric heating elements in the meat room switch on. d) As long as the coolers are covered with ice, the melting takes nearly all of the heat supplied and the temperature of the cooler and the refrigerant is constantly kept near zero. When the ice has melted, the refrigerant temperature rises in the meat room. When the temperature reaches the set point of the defrosting thermostat, (approximately +10°C) the heating elements are switched off. e) The compressor starts. f) When the coil surface temperature has gone below the freezing point, the fans in the meat/fish room start. The system is now back on the refrigerating cycle again. If the defrosting is not completed at the expiration of the predetermined defrosting period, the defrosting will be restarted by the timer and a new cycle will commence. System running checks to be carried out at regular intervals: a) Check lubricating oil levels in the crankcase. b) Check lubricating oil pressure. c) Check moisture indicators. d) Suction and discharge pressure and temperature and any unusual variations investigated. e) Check all room temperatures and evaporation coils for any sign of frosting. The following conditions register in the central alarm system: Power failure Overcurrent trip High pressure trip

Machinery Operating Manual The liquid R-134 is then fed, via filter drier units, to the cooling coils where it expands under the control of the expansion valves, before being returned to the compressor as a gas. The compressor is fitted with an internal oil pressure activated unloading mechanism which affords automatic starting and variable capacity control.
The air is supplied to the accommodation by two air handling units located in the A.C. room in the engine room. The units consists of an electrically driven fan drawing air through the following sections: Filter Mixing chamber for fresh and recirculated air
Any leakage of refrigerant gas from the system will result in the system becoming undercharged. The symptoms of system undercharge will be low suction and discharge pressure and the system eventually becoming ineffective. A side effect of low refrigerant gas charge is an apparent low oil level in the sump. A low charge level will result in excess oil being entrapped in the circulating refrigerant gas, causing the level in the sump to drop.
Preheating coil Humidifier nozzles Evaporator coils
When the system is charged to full capacity, this excess oil will be separated out and returned to the sump.
Water separator The air is forced into the distribution trunking which supplies the accommodation. Air may be drawn into the system either from outside or from the accommodation via recirculation trunking. All cabin ventilation units have been adjusted to supply no more than the maximum air quantity assigned to the individual rooms served by the plant. Regulation of the air quantity is effected by means of the control knob on the cabin unit and adjustment is left entirely for the room occupant to choose. With heating or cooling coils in use, the unit is designed to operate on 70% fresh air supply. The ratio of circulation air may be varied manually using the damper in the inlet trunking. The inlet filters are of the washable mat type and heating is provided by coils supplied by steam from the 7 kg/cm2 system. Cooling is provided by a direct expansion R-134A system. The plant is automatic and consists of two compressor/condenser units supplying the evaporators contained in the accommodation air handling units. Each condensing unit is capable of supplying 100% of the total capacity requirement and under normal conditions one compressor will be in use. Cooling of the air is achieved by direct expansion coils. The coils are fed with refrigerant from the air conditioning compressor as a superheated gas which is then passed through the condenser where it is condensed to a liquid.
Also, pump down the running unit before separating the two systems by closing the crossover valves. To Start the Ventilation System
The compressor is protected by a high and low pressure cut-out switch and low lubricating oil pressure trip. A crankcase heater and cooler are fitted.
Introduction
Before opening the crossover valves, to prevent over charging of the system to be used, ensure that the system to be shut down is fully pumped down.
a) Check that the air filters are clean. b) Set the air dampers to the outside position. c) Start the supply fans. To Start the Air Conditioning Compressor a) All stop valves in the refrigerant line, except the compressor suction, should be opened and fully back seated to prevent the pressure in the valve reaching the valve gland. b) The crankcase heater on the compressor to be used should be switched on a few hours prior to starting the compressor. c) Check that the oil level is correct.
During operation, the level as shown in the condenser level gauge will drop. d) Start up the ancillaries, pumps etc. If the system does become undercharged, the whole system pipework should be checked for leakage. When required, additional gas can be added through the charging line, after first venting the connection between the gas bottle and the charging connection.
e) Open the valves for the condenser cooling water. Check there is sufficient flow. f) Open the compressor suction valve one turn. g) Start the compressor.
The added refrigerant is dried before entering the system. Any trace of moisture in the refrigerant will lead to problems with the thermostatic expansion valve icing up and subsequent blockage.
h) Continue opening the suction valve slowly taking care not to allow liquid into the compressor. Also ensure the suction pressure is above the cut out point.
Cooling water for the condenser is supplied from the low temperature fresh water cooling system. Operation of the Air Conditioning System The air conditioning system is designed to run with one compressor at a time meeting the full air conditioning load of the accommodation. Capacity control is automatic, but for borderline temperatures capacity can be controlled manually. The other condensing unit is on standby or available for maintenance. The system can be crossed over by opening the common liquid and gas valves, which will allow one compressor to supply both air handling units.

Whilst Running:
To Shut Down the Compressor for a Prolonged Period
a) Check the inlet and outlet pressure gauges.
If the cooling system is to be shut down for a prolonged period, it is advisable to pump down the system and isolate the refrigerant gas charge in the condenser.
b) Check the oil level and oil pressure. c) Check for leakages.
Leaving the system with full refrigerant pressure in the lines increases the tendency to lose charge through the shaft seal.
Compressor - Running Checks a) The lubricating oil pressure should be checked daily.
a) Shut the liquid outlet valve on the condenser and the outlet from the filter.
b) The oil level in the crankcase should be checked daily.
b) Run the compressor until the low pressure cut-out operates.
c) The suction and discharge pressure should be checked daily.
c) After a period of time the suction pressure may rise in which case the compressor should be allowed to pump down again until the suction pressure remains low.
d) The temperature of oil, suction and discharge gasses should be checked daily, together with the motor bearing temperatures.
d) Shut the compressor suction and discharge valves. e) A daily check should be kept on any undue leakage at the shaft seal.
e) Close the inlet and outlet valves on the cooling water to the condenser.
To Stop the Compressor for Short Periods a) Close the condenser liquid outlet valve and the outlet from the filter. b) Allow the compressor to pump out the system so that the low level pressure cut-out operates.
f) Close the inlet and outlet valves on the cooling water to the oil cooler. g) The compressor discharge valve should be marked closed and the compressor motor isolated to prevent possible damage.
c) Isolate the compressor motor. d) Close the compressor suction valve. e) Close the compressor discharge valve. f) Close the inlet and outlet valves on the cooling water to the condenser. g) Close the inlet valves on the cooling water to the oil cooler. h) Switch on the crankcase heater.

2.14.5 Sewage Treatment System
Level Switch Operation
Maker:
Basic Description and Operation
If the discharge mode selector switch is set to the ‘AUTO’ position, the pump will start when the high level switch is activated and stop when the low-level switch is activated.
The sewage treatment plant is a tank, divided into three compartments:
Manual Operation
1. Aeration compartment
If discharge is required below the low-level switch position, the pump can be started manually by setting the mode selector switch to ‘HAND’ and pushing the start button. Discharge will continue until the low-level switch is activated, or until the pump is manually stopped.
Lu Zhou - Hamworthy
The incoming sewage enters the aeration compartment, where it is digested by aerobic bacteria and micro-organisms. This is assisted by the addition of atmospheric oxygen delivered by the compressors. The resulting CO2 is emitted through the vent pipe and the water and bacteria cells are displaced into the settling compartment.
! CAUTION Running the pump dry will damage the pump.
2. Settling compartment
Alarms
Here the bacteria settle out and are returned to the aeration compartment via the airlift tube. The tube takes its supply from the bottom of the compartment, via a visual pipe, which allows a check to be made on the returning sludge. The sloping sides prevent the settled sludge from accumulating and help direct it to the suction side of the air lift. The effluent enters the compartment through a filter and stilling chamber. It rises through the clarifier before discharging into the chlorine compartment through a weir at the top of the clarifier. A surface skimmer is provided to skim off and return surface debris back to the aeration compartment.
A high-level alarm is activated if the high-level switch is not reset within a set period of time of it being activated. A thermal relay alarm will indicate overcurrent in the pump motor. ! CAUTION Discharge overboard should not take place within 12 nautical miles of the coast.
3. Chlorine contact compartment The effluent is stored in this compartment to allow time for the chlorine to kill off any harmful bacteria. This is achieved by chlorine tablets being added into two tubes with the effluent passing over them. The effluent absorbs the required amount of chlorine before flowing into the chlorine contact tank, where it is finally discharged overboard. The discharge may be controlled manually or automatically. The control equipment includes facilities for high level control and alarm functions using signals from float switches fitted in the treatment tank. The contents of the tank can be discharged: By level switches Manually

Maersk Ramsey 2.15 Inert Gas (Top-up System) Generator 2.15.1 Inert Gas Generator The inert gas plant, installed in the engine room, produces inert gas which is used to provide a gas explosion protection system for the cargo oil tanks and slop tanks. This is achieved by maintaining a slight over-pressure in the tanks at all times. When products are carried, the respective tanks would normally be blanked off from the I.G. system Whilst discharging the cargo, liquid pumped out of the tanks is replaced by inert gas. At all times, pressure of the inert gas in the tanks is maintained slightly above atmospheric pressure. The operating principle is based on the combustion of a low sulphur content fuel and the cleaning and drying of the exhaust gases. The inert gas plant includes an inert gas generator, a scrubbing tower unit, blowers, an effluent water seal, a fuel injection unit, deck seal and an instrumentation / control system. Manufacturer:

The inert gas plant is locally operated. Working Principle Inert gas is produced by the combustion of diesel oil supplied by the diesel oil pump and air provided by blowers, taking place in the combustion chamber of the inert gas generator. Good combustion is essential for the production of a good quality soot free low oxygen inert gas.
Machinery Operating Manual The products of the combustion are mainly carbon dioxide, water and small quantities of oxygen, carbon monoxide, sulphur oxides and hydrogen. The nitrogen content is generally unchanged during the combustion process and the inert gas produced consists mainly of 85% nitrogen and 15% carbon dioxide. Initially, the hot combustion gases produced are cooled indirectly in the combustion chamber by a sea water jacket. Thereafter, cooling of the gases mainly occurs in the scrubber section of the generator, where the sulphur oxides are washed out. The sea water for the Inert Gas Generator is supplied from the sea water cooling system. Before delivery out of the generator, water droplets and trapped moisture are separated from the inert gases by a demister. The inert gas is supplied to deck via a deck water seal.
2.15.2 Operation a) Open all valves for utilities (sea water, fuel, etc.). b) Supply electrical power to the inert gas generator panel. c) The generator is started by operating the start button. The complete starting process is fully programmed and safety interlocked. d) The purge line is open when the generator is started and will remain open until the oxygen content drops to within required limits. At this point the supply to deck valve will open and the purge valve will close. The starting program runs as follows:
The Inert Gas System can supply fresh air instead of inert gas with the same capacity.
a) The blower purges the system with air before the pilot burner is ignited by the spark plug.
Burner Description
b) The pilot burner is ignited. As soon as the flame is detected the main burner is started.
The combustion air is supplied to the main burner by two blowers, each supplying 50% of the total capacity of the generator. The quantity of combustion air to the burner can be manually adjusted by a regulating valve in the excess air discharge line.
c) After flame detection of the main burner and flame stabilisation, the pilot burner is shut down.
Fuel (M.D.O.) is supplied at a constant pressure by the gas oil electric pump which has a built-in pressure overflow valve. Before ignition or start up of the unit, and with the pump running, all the fuel is pumped back via the fuel oil overflow valve. This valve also serves to regulate the delivery pressure of the pump. The fuel oil flows to the nozzle of the main burner via two solenoid valves and two fuel oil regulating valves. A programme switch in the local control panel regulates one of the solenoid valves which operates the pilot burner and initial firing. The main burner is ignited by a pilot burner. The main fuel oil burner is of the high-pressure steam assisted atomising type. The fuel is directed to the burner orifice through tangential slots which ensure that the fuel leaves the burner as a thin rotating membrane which is atomised just after the nozzle. Steam is supplied to the atomising ring which is fitted to the end of the burner gun and imparts a tangential flow into the oil stream thus ensuring a ultra-fine dispersion of the fuel oil. In this manner good combustion is guaranteed with no formation of soot.
d) After 4 minutes of purging, the delivery line is opened and the purge line closed - provided that the oxygen content is correct. If not, the purge line remains open until the correct fuel/air ratio has been set and the correct oxygen content is obtained. For long standstill periods it is recommended to purge the sea water cooling system is purged with fresh water. To allow for a remote stop of the generator, an extra contact is available in the control panel for connection to the ship's main control room.
2.15.3 Maintenance a) The use of blowers and deck seal sea water supply pumps should be alternated on a regular basis. b) Check the calibration of the oxygen analyser before use. c) The sootblower for the boiler uptake valve should be operated before opening the uptake valves. The manual steam valve to the required uptake valve should be opened prior to this operation. The ‘Push to Clean’ button is pressed. The manual steam supply valve is then closed after the operation. d) The blowers should be water washed at shut down to prevent build up of solids on the impeller. Prior to this operation the drain valve is opened and the flexible hose is connected. When the blower motor receives the stop signal, open the water supply to the blower while the fan is running down. On completion, the fresh water valve is closed and the flexible hose disconnected.

Maersk Ramsey The Accommodation Alarm Panel is normally installed in the cabins of the duty engineers/officers and in the public rooms. The accommodation alarm panel is used for alarm signaling and duty call of crew members etc. in the accommodation areas.
3.1 Integrated Management System 3.1.1. System Overview Maker:
Machinery Operating Manual
Lyngso Marine
Main System Components The machinery monitoring, alarm and control system can be divided into four groups: DPS 2100 Main engine remote control and safety system DMS 2100 Bridge manoeuvring system UCS 2100 Universal alarm, monitoring and control system PMS 2100 Power management system The DPS and DMS 2100 systems are described in detail in section 2.1.2, Main Engine Manoeuvring Control. The UCS and PMS systems are grouped by the manufacturer under the system title: ‘UMS/UCS2100 Universal Alarm, Monitoring and Control System’ The UMS system is basically the alarm system and the UCS system is the control and monitoring system.
The Extended Alarm Display is used together with the Basic Alarm Panel to extend the amount of information to be displayed simultaneously. (In the Universal Control System UCS 2100, the function of the Extended Alarm Display is an integrated part of the Graphics Operator Station GOS). The Alarm/Log Printers are used for printing the different logs and reports. This system contains Alarm Panels which allow remote alarm annunciation at the bridge, at the engineers cabins and in the public rooms. A printer which logs all the alarms and events is connected to the system. As the system is selected for ‘unmanned machinery space’ it will sound an audible alarm in the cabin of the engineer who has been selected on duty, as well as in the public rooms, enabling the duty engineer to move freely between any of these locations and still be sure to receive the alarm. To acknowledge the alarm, the Duty Engineer must go to the Engine Control Room. The system contains extended alarm displays which present more information, giving the operator an improved overview.
An alarm printer and log printer in the ECR. Two Gamma outstations in the ECR. The controlled machinery components are operated from control pictures, all with graphic representations of the controlled machinery components. An interactive interface with pull-down menus and clear indications of the actual state of the machinery component is used. Alarms related to the controlled machinery components are visualised just beside the graphic symbol for the machinery component. The actual state of the alarm is clearly indicated (normal/cut-out/alarm). The Graphic Operator Stations log all commands to, and condition changes from, the machinery. It also logs the change of set-points to the temperature controllers. The events are stored in a cyclic event log containing all events occurred during the last 24 hours. The event log is readable on the screen of the Graphic Operator Stations and can be printed on request. The Graphic Operator Stations logs all of the supervised analog values. The values are stored continuously for a period covering the previous eight hours. All changes are detected and stored. Additionally, the values are also stored as one minute mean values for a period covering the last month.
UCS 2100 Control System The systems are all interconnected using an RS485 data bus, any alarms on a system group will sound common alarms according to the mode selected (UMS etc) at the designated control position.
This system offers an overview of alarm, control and monitoring information. The information is presented in graphic form at the Graphic Operator Stations (GOS) See 3.1.1a for system layout and location of GOS.
UMS 2100 System Overview The system is formed by a number of standard hardware units as shown in Illustration 3.1.1a. Outstations with Local Operator Panels Basic Alarm Panels Accommodation Alarm Panels Extended Alarm Display Alarm / Log printer The outstation is equipped with a Gamma computer which handles the functions of the alarm detection, and additionally one of the outstations controls the alarm panels (Basic Alarm Panels and Accommodation Alarm Panels). The outstation is supplied with Local Operator Panels, which provide the operator with alarm information directly on the front of the outstation. The basic alarm panel is normally installed on the bridge and in the engine control room. It provides the operator with all the necessary facilities for use of the alarm system including alarm acknowledge, duty engineer selection, control of printer etc.
The UCS 2100 Control System provides the operator with an enhanced overview and operator facilities. It has facilities for displaying logged data and can be used to generate reports based upon this data. Reports, trend, and screen pictures can be printed on request. The system controls automatic and sequential restart of pumps and fans, control of temperature controllers and power management of the diesel generators. Integrated with the UMS 2100 Alarm System, the UCS 2100 Control System will offer the standard facility to display alarm information together with the control and monitoring information. The two systems are allocated the same Gamma computer hardware modules reducing the overall costs and minimising the use of I/O channels and cabling costs. The System Configuration is as follows:
Generator and Power Management System This is comprised of the power management system and diesel starter control system. The diesel starter control system controls the following functions: Manual stop/start of the generators Engine safety/shutdown system Selection/control of standby generator Blackout recovery Pre-lubrication of engines H.F.O./D.O. change over The power management system controls the following functions: Semi/fully automatic mode control Synchronising Frequency control
A Graphic Operator Station on the bridge, general office, main switchboard room, and ECR (x2). A basic alarm panel on the bridge, main switchboard room and ECR.

PMS Operation Modes
PMS Automatic Mode
Alarm System
The ship’s electrical power plant can be operated in several different modes:
In Automatic Mode the PMS will perform the functions from the SemiAutomatic Mode extended with load dependent start/stop, start of standby diesel generator at shutdown pre-warning alarm of an on-line diesel generator, and control of heavy consumers etc.
Alarms relative to the controlled machinery are displayed on the corresponding pictures with an indication of the alarm state and the cut-out state. A steady red square indicates an acknowledged alarm, a flashing red square indicates an unacknowledged alarm and a light blue square indicates a cut-out. By pointing and clicking on the square the actual process state can be read. When an alarm occurs, the label for the relevant system flashes on the overview display
Local control Manual control of auxiliary engine
In Automatic Mode, the PMS can connect and disconnect the generators automatically to and from the MSB. This may be initiated by load-dependent start/stop, or from a shutdown pre-warning. The load-dependent heavy consumer start facility may involve standby diesel generator start and acceptance or rejection of heavy consumer start request.
Diesel Starter with Blackout Start PMS Semi-Automatic Mode PMS Automatic Mode
In the alarm list, the overview of all the present machinery alarms, cut outs and system failures can be seen.
Local Control In local control there is no PMS operation at all. When the auxiliary engine local control is selected for a generator set the engine is operated locally and the main breaker is operated from the MSB. The diesel generator local control is selected by means of the local/remote blocking switch on the auxiliary engine control panel at the engine. Manual Control In manual control, manual start/stop of the auxiliary engine from the Graphic Operator Stations is available but closing of the main breaker is limited to an automatic blackout start situation. When the auxiliary engine is in remote control and main breaker manual control is selected for a generator set, the diesel starter can start and stop the auxiliary engine in question, but only start/stop; no synchronising or any other functions are carried out. The main breaker is manually operated from the MSB. The diesel generator manual operation is selected by means of the manual/auto selector switch for each generator on the main switchboard. Semi-Automatic Mode The PMS modes, which always include the Diesel Start and Blackout Start functions, can be used for either operator supervised ‘Semi-Automatic’ remote control or for unmanned full ‘Automatic’ control of the ship’s electrical power plant. The PMS is changed between the two PMS modes from the Graphic Operator Stations. In the Semi-Automatic Mode, the PMS acts as a remote control station, where the automatic controls are those of blackout start, frequency control, load sharing, start/synchronising control and disconnection of a generator when the operator enters a start or stop order from the Graphic Operator Stations. A generator cannot be connected or disconnected by the PMS automatically. If the operator wants to stop an on-line PMS controlled diesel generator, this can be done from the Graphic Operator Stations. Stopping means unloading, switching off-line and stopping the diesel generator. Heavy consumers will be allowed to start if enough available power is present, otherwise they will be blocked from starting.
Frequency control and load-sharing between all on-line PMS controlled diesel generators are also part of the Automatic Mode. A diesel generator can be removed from the automatic start/stop sequence by switching it to local or manual control mode. A diesel generator can be stopped without changing its mode, by changing the priority, so that the on-line diesel generator is given a lower priority. The PMS will then automatically start a diesel generator with higher priority and stop the one with the lower priority. In the same way, starting a stopped PMS controlled diesel generator can be done by changing its priority to a higher priority.
Operation from the Graphic Operator Stations To operate a machinery component the operator activates the symbol of that specific component by pointing and clicking. The desired command is chosen from the pop up menu. from the diagrams on illustration 3.1.2a the operation of starting a fuel pump (fuel pump No.1) can be seen. a) From the overview menu the operator selects FUEL OIL SUPPLY by pointing and clicking.
If the PMS control mode is changed from local, manual, or semi-automatic to automatic mode, the PMS will automatically update the plant, so the diesel generators with the highest priority are on-line to the MSB.
b) From the fuel oil supply display the operator can assess the current status of pump No.1. The symbol is green for running, magenta for stopped, red for blocked or ‘I’ for interlocked. The alarm status square is also situated here.
Start of the pre-selected standby diesel generator and connection of the main breaker after blackout is handled by the PMS, independent of the actual mode.
c) By clicking on the symbol, the pump I.D. and command options are displayed.
3.1.2. Operator Stations
d) By clicking on MASTER START, the pump is started. (For safety reasons only one GOS can operate on one symbol).
The Graphic Operator Station is basically a personal computer approved for marine use. The various displays feature a wide range of machinery components made up of standard function blocks. The blocks are a combination of graphical symbols and corresponding control programs and include a process interface and a man/machine interface.
e) The pop up menu disappears and the symbol on the display changes to RUNNING. Alarm Handling from Graphic Operator Stations
Operation is by using the tracker ball device to control the position of a cursor and pointing at a symbol. The activation push button (left) will then activate a pop up menu of available commands. The right button will acknowledge and open ‘display channel’ dialogue.
Acknowledgment of alarms is carried out at the alarm watch station and must be preceded by silencing the alarm horn by pressing the STOP HORN function key on the keyboard. The oldest unacknowledged alarm is always on display in the header. Acknowledgment is by pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE function key. Alarms from the alarm list can be acknowledged by pointing and clicking using the tracker ball.
They also have facilities for the display of logged data as trend curves and they can be used to generate reports. These reports, trend curves and screen pictures can be printed on request.
Acknowledgment of alarms can also be made from within the corresponding control picture where the alarm indication is displayed by pointing to the flashing red symbol and clicking.
Besides operation and graphics indication of the UCS 2100 Control System, the Graphic Operator Stations have the facility to display information such as lists for alarms, cut-outs, analog values, and alarm limits.

Reports and Data Collection Logging The Thermometer (relative measuring system) Daily, monthly and yearly reports are available as standard based on compressed data from the log. To generate a daily report the data is compressed further to provide values for each hour. Detailed reports show the 60 values for each hour plus the total values for a day. Reports can be printed out on request or at specified times. Other reports may be user configured. Data may also be exported in DIF file format for analysis using other PC applications.
The thermometer function is a relative measurement system for supervision of, for example, the exhaust gas temperatures of the main engine cylinders with individual alarms for high temperature, high mean value and an alarm for large deviations from the mean value. The display presentation includes an overview diagram for all of the cylinders and two graph-diagrams each presenting up to five cylinder temperatures.
Analogue and binary parameters may be logged on the GOS hard drive for later analysis. All condition changes of parameters and values, defined to be logged, covering the previous 24 hours, are stored for 30 days.
The thermometer picture can be selected either by the key-board function key or from the Diagrams menu.

Main Events such as running feedback signals from motors and engines can be automatically logged on the alarm and event log printer, to give the operator a complete machinery log. All events, such as commands and feedback changes, may also be logged on the Graphic Operator Stations hard-disk. The log is accessible on the Graphic Operator Stations and may be printed on a printer, either on request as a report or continuously.
The display of the Graphic Operator Stations is divided into two parts: a header window and a selectable working area window which will be a control overview or an alarm list. The menu bar and header with status information are always present. For enhanced safety the header constantly displays the most essential information from the alarm system, independent of the actual control assignment, such as:

3.1.4 Alarm Display The alarm display is a display of all standing alarms both acknowledged and unacknowledged. The system can include from 1 to 4 systems (bridge, machinery etc), each alarm system has its own alarm list. Up to 20 alarms can be displayed on the screen, if there are over 20 alarms the actual number is shown in the bottom right of the display. The colour of the alarm text is normally green with the alarm ‘state’ text in red (if priority 1 alarm) or magenta (if priority 2) or yellow (if priority 3). A right click on the alarm brings up a small menu with two texts: DISPLAY CHANNEL and ACKNOWLEDGE. Left clicking on ACKNOWLEDGE allows the alarm to be acknowledged or if not possible, the text is shown in grey (already acknowledged or horn not silenced etc). Left clicking on DISPLAY CHANNEL opens the display for the particular system the alarm originates from. Detailed alarm information, such as delays and limits etc., is also shown. Trend Displays One to five graphs for supervised parameters can be displayed in the same trend display with individual colour and measuring scale. The individual colour is used to separate the ID number, the measuring scale, the trend curve, and the digit valve for each measurement. See Section 3.1.5 Alarm Groups An alarm group is a list of alarms for one machinery component (independent of alarm state). Up to 100 alarm groups are available. The list is sorted alphabetically after the I.D.
There are also lists for alarm suppressions and alarm failures. Display Channel Diagram This displays detailed information of an alarm channel and it is possible to adjust some parameters although these are password level 1 protected. The display channel diagram for a binary and analogue channel are shown in illustration 3.1.3a. the configuration includes: Type:
Analogue or Binary
Alarm system:
Name of alarm system the channel belongs to
Outstation:
Name of the outstation where PLC is located
Address:
Address number for PLC
Standard Function Block Diagrams These diagrams are divided into 12 blocks (squares), each one representing one machinery component. Information from each component is displayed as a ‘standard function block’. There are two main types of object: digital and analog. Digital Objects are used to display the status of a machinery component such as a pump. The current status is shown as a symbol and as text, usually running or stopped. From these digital objects it is possible to send start and stop commands. Analogue objects are used to display the current value of a measurement or an adjustable value. The value can be shown as a number and/or a bar graph. Function blocks can be operated in local or remote and manual or automatic modes. Change over is carried out directly on the machinery component. Function blocks are described in more detail in the manufacturers operation manual for this system. Mimic Diagrams A mimic diagram shows a machinery system as a static background with dynamic objects as symbols upon it representing the machinery components and function blocks of bar graphs etc for measurements. These mimics give a good overview of a system showing graphically the location of the measurement or machinery component. Clicking on the object reveals an I.D. Mimics can be opened by clicking on the appropriate listing from the main menu or choosing EDIT from the menu bar and selecting OPEN BY NAME from the drop down menu. Entering the system I.D. will display the required mimic diagram.

3.1.5 Trending
Start Time and Window Period for Graphs
The system can display one to five graphs for parameters under analysis in the same trend display with individual colours and measuring scales. The individual colour is used to separate the ID number, the measuring scale, the trend curve and the value for each measurement.
After opening a graph window, the operator will be asked to key in a start time and a window period. This will occur if the graph window is not defined to start with fixed time specifications.
Trend displays that are used often can be accessed directly from the command menu named GRAPH. Trend curves showing values for the previous 24 hours (maximum 4 days) or part of that period, are based upon the continuously logged data. A Trend display for a period exceeding the last 24 hours (maximum 4 days) are based upon the compressed values. Parameters, which are not predefined for logging, may be displayed during online data collection, initiated at the request of the operator. There is also a zoom function available, selected by pointing out the area required using the tracker ball. Trend curves can be saved as a file on the PC hard disk or printed as screen dumps for subsequent printing or analysis. The data used for the trend displays are accessible on the Graphic Operator Stations and can be printed in tabulating form on a printer. The SHOW GRAPH function is used for setting up a graph-diagram. The graph pictures can be particularly helpful in identifying and analysing the operating disruptions. Additionally, it can be helpful in providing a visual evaluation of changes of the process values, just as the graphs are an important tool in connection with the documentation of the vessels operation. In the individual configuration, a number of graph windows can be configured, each one displaying graphs of up to 5 variables of predetermined element values.
The system always suggests the current time as the start time unless it has been defined to start a number of hours before. If the operator does not want to change this, the time can be accepted by using the RETURN key. The start time is the time when the desired graph is to be started, while the window period is the length of the time of which the axis is to be displayed in the graph field. The length can also be changed by the operator before the activation. A start time which goes back in time up to 90 days can be determined. Of course, this requires that the relevant data is still accessible on the hard disk. When the start time and period length, which are to be displayed, have been keyed in the RETURN key must be activated. Hereafter, the Graphic Operator Stations will retrieve and work up data in order to draw the desired graph on the screen. As the new values accrue to the system, the graph will be updated.
The display with a filled area under the curve is particularly useful when having to present analogue alarm channels with high alarm limit, low alarm limit as well as the current value in the same curve picture. The alarm areas can be displayed as ‘belts’ and the elements current value as a line between these two belts. Regardless of the selection of the graph form, the zoom and pan functions are the same. Graph Data in Table Format It is possible to get a complete list of all of the values which are used for the graph drawing. This is achieved by a double-click on the ruler symbol, whereafter a window, containing the recorded values in table form, is opened. The values are presented in table form together with date and time for their recording. The table is displayed for each element variable on the graph window. The table is framed with a line which has the same colour as the column on the graph window.
Error Messages in Connection with Graph Generation If, within the selected time period there has been a period in which data has not been collected, or in which data has later been deleted, an error message appears on the screen, e.g. ‘Open error on file TEST.L13’. This just means that the drawn graph is not complete since data cannot be found for the entire period. The message means that data for a whole hour is missing. If data for less than a whole hour is missing it will be shown in the graph by horizontal lines.
The Up and Down buttons located at the bottom of the window, are used to scroll up and down in the table (i.e. backwards and forwards in time).
Changing the Presentation of a Graph Display If the operator selects one or more elements, the graph diagram will automatically include these. (More than one element can be selected by keeping the [shift] key pressed when selecting the elements). Regardless of how it is opened, a graph window has a fixed position and size on the screen. The fixed definition graph can be selected from the menu Graphs (by clicking on the required graph name). The Graphs menu can contain up to 19 graph displays. If no elements are selected when the operator activates the SHOW GRAPH function, a box will appear showing a list of all elements in the system. From the list you can select up to five elements which are displayed simultaneously in the graph-diagram.
During monitoring, the display of the graphs can be changed in a number of different ways. The display of one or more of the (up to five) graphs can be removed from the graph window. This is done by clicking the element name in the upper part of the window. The name will now be displayed with a weak type, and the accompanying graph is ‘closed’. The graph can be retrieved by clicking the element name once more or for all by clicking at a field placed just to the right for all the graph names. Being able to de-activate one or more graph displays can, for example, be helpful in situations where two graphs completely or partially cover one another, or in situations where one of several graphs is desired to be examined more closely or even printed separately. If the element name in a graph window is double-clicked, the area is filled out under the curve with full colour or with a raster pattern. If normal display is desired again, double-click the name and the curve will appear as a line. Even though the area is filled out, the curve can still be ‘turned off’ by clicking the name.

3.1.6 UMS - Manned Hand Over The following procedures are followed when changing over to Manned Operation: Due to alarm initiation a) When summoned by the extension alarm system, the duty engineer proceeds to the E.C.R. b) Ensure that the patrol man alarm system has been activated. c) Inform the bridge of manned condition and the alarm cause. d) Switch watch-keeping control to the E.C.R. e) Rectify the alarm condition, if necessary call for assistance. Normal hand over a) The duty engineer proceeds to the E.C.R. b) The patrol man alarm should be in use until the arrival of other members of the E.R. personnel. . c) Inform the bridge of manned condition. d) Switch watch-keeping control to the E.C.R. e) Examine the data logger printouts generated during the UMS period. f) Hand over to the oncoming duty engineer, discussing any irregularities. Ideally the hand over should be carried out in front of the other engineers to provide them with continuous plant operation knowledge. g) Inform the senior engineer of any plant defects. He will then decide if they should be included in the present day's work list. h) The senior engineer delegates the work list and discusses relevant safety practices. i) The duty engineer should be aware of all the maintenance being carried out and should be informed of any changes to the day’s schedule. j) The duty engineer can then proceed with his normal tour of inspection.

4.2 CO2 Flooding System The CO2 flooding system for the engine room/pump room/engine control room consists of 129 high pressure cylinders each containing 45kg of CO2. These are contained in the CO2 room, situated on the port side of the A deck. In the event of a fire in the pump room or engine control room, only 4 cylinders would be released. All 129 cylinders will be released for an engine room fire. The system can be operated from its respective fire control stations or locally in the CO2 rooms.

The main valve on the line to the engine room will open.
e) Close all doors, hatches and fire flaps.
i) Open No.2 cylinder valve. All 129 cylinders will release after a delay of 30 seconds and discharge into the engine room. j) If the pneumatic system fails to operate, the main valve can be opened manually from the CO2 room and the cylinders released by hand. k) Do not re-enter the engine room for at lease 24 hours and ensure that all reasonable precautions have been taken. These include: maintaining boundary inspections; noting cooling down rates and/or any hot spots which may have been found. l) After this period, an assessment party, donning breathing apparatus can quickly enter the space through a door which is then shut behind them. m) Check that the fire is extinguished and that all surfaces have cooled prior to ventilating the engine room. Premature opening could cause re-ignition if oxygen comes into contact with hot combustible material.
In the Event of Fire in the Engine Room
n) Do not enter the engine room without breathing apparatus until the engine room has been thoroughly ventilated and the atmosphere proved safe.
b) Break the key box glass and take the key. c) Unlock the cabinet and open the door.
f) Open No.1 cylinder valve. The main valve on the line to the pump room will open.
WARNING Release of CO2 into any space must only be considered when all other options have failed and then only on the direct instructions of the Chief Engineer, who will have consulted the Master.
a) Go to the master control cabinet located in the CO2 rooms or fire control station.
d) Ensure all personnel have evacuated the Pump Room / ECR.
Pump Room and Engine Control Room CO2 Flooding Systems Maker : Unitor Type : High Pressure Capacity : 4 cylinders each containing 45kg Discharge Time : 2 minutes
The alarm horns and flashing lights will operate in the engine room.
g) Open No.2 cylinder valve. h) Four of the cylinders will release after a delay of 30 seconds and discharge into the pump room ECR. If the pneumatic system fails to operate, the main valve can be opened manually from the CO2 rooms and the cylinders released by hand. Allow time for the CO2 to extinguish the fire and the space to cool down. i) Do not re-open the space until all reasonable precautions have been taken to ascertain that the fire is out. Premature opening could cause re-ignition if oxygen comes into contact with hot combustible material. j) When the fire is out, ventilate the space thoroughly. k) Do not enter the pump room/ECR without breathing apparatus until the room has been thoroughly ventilated and the atmosphere proved safe. Alarms for Engine Room and Pump Room System Should any cylinder discharge accidentally, it will pressurise the main line up to the stop valve. This line is monitored by a pressure switch and will activate the ‘CO2 leakage’ alarm in the control room. Over pressure of the main line is prevented by a safety valve, which will vent the gas to atmosphere.
In the Event of Fire in the Pump Room or ECR: The engine room ventilation fans will stop. d) Ensure all personnel have evacuated the engine room and have been accounted for.
a) Go to the master control cabinet located in the CO2 rooms or fire control station.
The pressure of the control air in the release cabinets is monitored by a pressure switch. A drop in pressure will activate the ‘Pilot air pressure low’ alarm in the Control Room.
b) Break the key box glass and take the key. e) Close and check that all doors, hatches and fire flaps are shut.
Should the power supply to the system fail, the ‘CO2 power failure’ alarm will operate in the control room.
c) Unlock the cabinet and open the door. f) Stop the main engines, generating engines and auxiliary boilers. The single air horn will operate in the Pump Room / ECR g) Operate the F.O, D.O. and L.O. tank quick closing valves.

Introduction All the outlet valves from the fuel oil and lubricating oil tanks, from which oil could flow to feed a fire, are equipped with air operated quick closing valves,.These are controlled from the fire control centre. They are supplied from an air reservoir situated at the fire control centre. The reservoir is supplied through a non-return valve from the compressed air system in the Engine Room at a pressure of 3kg/cm2. The reservoir is fitted with a low pressure alarm transmitter. The tanks are grouped into five systems with one valve operation for each system. In normal operation, the supply to each group of tanks is vented to atmosphere, but when the cock is opened, air is supplied to a piston which collapses the bridge of the valve.

4.4 Fresh Water Spray Extinguishing System Maker: Working Pressure:
Unitor 0.5 kg/cm2
Description The system is supplied by a hydrophore tank which contains fresh water at a pressure of 0.5 kg/cm2. The hydrophore tank has a relief valve set at 0.8kg/cm2 and a pressure gauge for inspection purposes. A pump is fitted which is designed to supply fresh water to the system when the pressure falls below 0.5 kg/cm2 due to the opening of a zone isolation valve, which causes a pressure drop in the system. The pump is connected to the emergency switchboard. Zone isolation valves for the following spaces: Diesel generator room No.1 Diesel generator room No.2 and 3 Purifier room Main engine scavenge spaces Operation Should a fire occur in any of the above spaces, the procedure is as follows: a) Ensure all personnel are clear of the area. b) Shut down the machinery in the compartment on fire. c) Close all doors and flaps. d) Check that the power supply is available to the fresh water pump. e) Open the zone isolation valve to the compartment on fire. The system is now in operation and fresh water will be delivered to the nozzles in the zone that has been opened up. When the system pressure falls to below 0.5 kg/cm2, the pump will start and continue to supply fresh water to the spray nozzles. When the fire has been extinguished, stop the pump manually and reset all the valves to their standby positions. Refill the hydrophore tank and adjust the pressure to 0.7kg/cm2 using the compressed air system.

Maersk Ramsey 5.2 Emergency Operation of the Main Engine
Machinery Operating Manual Change over with a running engine:
Emergency Control from Engine Side
a) Reduce the engine load to a maximum 80% of MCR.
The engine can be operated from the emergency console on the engine side in the following circumstances:
b) Check that the position of reversing valve 105 corresponds to the present running direction.
1. As a result of breakdown of the normal pneumatic manoeuvring system.
c) Move the regulating hand wheel to bring the tapered slots of the change over mechanism in position opposite each other.
2. As a result of a breakdown of the the governor or its electronics.
d) Put the blocking arm in emergency position.
3. If direct index-control is required.
e) Quickly, move the impact hand wheel to the opposite position. This action disconnects the fuel pumps from the governor and connects them to the regulating handle on the emergency console.
Change over with a stopped engine: a) Check that valve 105, which is the ‘telegraph handle’ of the emergency control system, is in the required position. (Note ! Reversing to a new direction is only possible when STOP valve 102 is activated.) b) Turn the lever ‘A’ anti-clockwise to free the regulating handwheel ‘B’. c) Put the blocking arm in emergency position.
f) Move the change over valve 100 to EMERGENCY position. This vents valves 84, 86, 88 and 90 and leads control air to the valves in the emergency console. If STOP valve 102 is not deactivated, the engine now receives a STOP order. g) Activate START valve 101 briefly.
d) Turn hand wheel ‘B’ to move the innermost lever of the change over mechanism ‘C’ to a position where the impact hand wheel ‘P’ is able to enter the tapered slots in both levers.
This air impulse deactivates STOP valve 102.
e) Quickly, turn the impact hand wheel ‘P’ anti-clockwise.
(Note ! When the governor is disengaged, the engine is still protected against over-speed by the electric over speed trip, i.e. the engine is stopped automatically if the revolutions increase to the overspeed setting.)
This causes disconnection of the governor and connection of the regulating hand wheel ‘B’ to the fuel pumps. f) Change position of valve 100 from Normal to Emergency. Now air supply is led to the valves of the manoeuvring system for emergency running.
h) Set the engine speed directly with the regulating hand wheel.
The overspeed shutdown can only be reset by moving the regulating hand wheel to STOP position. Manoeuvring must therefore be carried out very carefully, especially when navigating in rough weather.
g) Ready for start. Start is described in section 2.1.2 of the machinery manual. (Note ! Always keep the threads of the changeover mechanism well lubricated.)

5.3 Emergency Steering If failure occurs in the remote operating system from the wheelhouse, the steering can be operated from the trick wheel in the steering gear room. Description The steering gear consists of a tiller, turned by a four cylinder hydraulic system, that in turn is driven by two electric motors. In accordance with IMO regulations the pumps, hydraulic power circuits and rams can operate as two isolated systems.
T orque Motor Shaft Knob
The steering gear is fitted with an automatic isolation system. This system is used to divide the hydraulic power circuits in the event of a hydraulic oil loss from the oil tanks. In accordance with IMO regulations the hydraulic pumps used in the steering gear are supplied with power from two independent sources. In the event of power failure from the main switchboard, one pump can be supplied from the emergency switchboard. Procedure for Operation of the Steering Gear on Loss of Remote Bridge Control a) On loss of steering gear control from the bridge, establish communication with the bridge via the telephone system. A telephone is located on the steering gear compartment platform. Indication of the rudder angle and a compass repeater are provided for manual control of the steering gear. See Illustration 5.3a b) Turn ‘local/remote’ control switch to local control. This switch is on the ‘No Follow Up’ panel on the starboard side of the steering gear room. Emergency Steering Manual Operation
c) Operate the push buttons ‘Port’ or ‘Starboard’ to turn the steering gear in the direction request by the bridge. If this system should fail, manual operation can be carried out as follows: a) Switch off the torque motor power. b) Push in the button ‘A’ and screw lock in place. c) The tiller can be moved in accordance with the steering command from the bridge by turning the torque motor, using the shaft end knob.

5.4 Emergency Fire Pump Maker: No. of sets: Model:
Shinko 1 RVP 130MS
The emergency fire pump is located in a well, with access from the steering gear room. It is a vertical centrifugal pump, primed by a vacuum pump driven by the fire pump shaft.
Emergency Pump Motor
The pump is electrically driven by power from the emergency switchboard 440V feeder panel. The pump can supply the fire main at a capacity of 72m3/h. Starting and stopping of the pump can take place from the following locations: Locally at the pump In the foam/fire control room The wheelhouse The emergency fire pump draws from its own sea water chest. The pump suction valve WD069 and the discharge valve WD072 are always locked in an open position. The pump discharges into the aft section of the fire main. Operation of Fire Pump Suction Strainer
When the pump is stopped, no pressure is detected at the pump discharge. The auto-cylinder pushes the vacuum pump friction drive coupling against the pump shaft friction drive coupling. When the pump is started, the pump coupling drives the vacuum pump which is sealed by circulating water from the water tank. The vacuum pump draws air from the pump suction, which in turn primes the pump. The pump picks up suction and the pressure, detected on the discharge of the pump, operates the auto cylinder to disconnect the vacuum pump drive.
Sea Suction Valve
The pump suction and discharge valves should be operated and lubricated weekly. Discharge Valve
The vacuum pump linkage should be operated and lubricated weekly.

6.1.1 UMS 2100 System
In some cases alarms may need to be disabled, e.g. if the sensor is faulty, if work is being carried out that may cause undesired alarms or when the main engine is stopped resulting in a low F.O. pressure alarm.
The printer is controlled from the ECR panel and the Bridge panel, however only the printing of reports are possible from the Bridge.
Maker: Type:
Lyngso Marine UMS 2100
The following information can be printed: These can be activated at the ECR Station or the Local Operating Panel after inserting a valid password.
Introduction
Alarm/Event log Data log
The purpose of an alarm and monitoring system is to collect the information concerning safety on board the ship and to monitor the alarm situation. The system carries out the following tasks:
WARNING
Alarm list
Alarm cut-outs should only be carried out by authorised personnel.
Cut-out list
Description
Alarm/Event log
Detection of alarm states i.e. illegal values or states
Bridge and Accommodation Alarm System
This log contains events concerning:
Announcement of detected alarms
The advising of an alarm to the duty engineers takes place through the accommodation Alarm Panels (AAPs) which are located in the cabins of the duty engineers and the public rooms, and on the Basic Alarm Panels on the bridge.
Acquisition of supervision data. i.e. sensor values
Supervision of engineer response
Alarms changing from normal to alarm and vice versa Change of state of event channel Channels entering and leaving cut-out states
Logging of alarms and events After discovering an alarm situation, the system will announce this to the duty engineer and the bridge, thereby making it possible to safely operate the ship with ‘unmanned machinery spaces’. The alarm is not only presented as an alarm in general but also as an alarm group. The engineer can determine the nature of the alarm quickly, e.g. from either main engine, pumps, power plant, fire etc. When the system detects an alarm, it announces it both by a light, a sound and on various types of text displays. In response to the alarm announcement, the engineer must stop the buzzer/horn and acknowledge the alarm, in order to confirm that he is aware of what has happened. Failure to do this will result in the system announcing the alarm in all possible locations. An alarm has four states:
When an alarm occurs, the buzzer on the bridge will sound, and the navigator can only silence it locally by pressing ‘STOP HORN’ on the bridge panel. This will not effect the status of the alarm anywhere else. To select/deselect ‘unmanned machinery spaces’ a request is raised from the ECR panel to the bridge panel. This may accepted or rejected by the bridge, or withdrawn by the ECR.
Normal and not acknowledged
Entering and leaving of privileged modes Change of duty engineers and ‘Unmanned Watch Station’ status Change of system date and time Data Log
Any of the AAPs located in the cabins can be brought to function as the panels in the public rooms. Therefore a cabin panel not selected on duty, can be selected to give alert as the alarm occurs. This allows a duty engineers to visit another cabins other than their own. Duty Engineer Watch System When a UMS alarm sounds the duty engineer can acknowledge the alarm either in his cabin or a public room, depending where the engineer is when it occurs.
Normal
System and configuration error messages
This is a report on channels showing their current value or status. Alarm List Report This is a print of the content of the alarm list and it contains all the standing and acknowledged alarms in the system at the moment the report was ordered. It runs continually but can be interrupted for reports of other types, such as Noon Log reports each day. Cut-out List Report
In both cases the action is to first silence the buzzer/horn locally and then proceed to the ECR panel to silence and acknowledge the alarm at source.
Present but not acknowledged Present and acknowledged The ECR station is the centre of the system, and it is from here that the alarms must be acknowledged.
Failure to acknowledge the alarm at the ECR panel within predetermined time (typically 5 minutes) will result in an ‘ALL ENGINEERS CALL’ announcement on all panels.
(Note ! Silencing the buzzer/horn has no significance to the alarm state. The alarm must be acknowledged in order to avoid the ‘ALL ENGINEERS CALL’.)
A back up engineer can also be selected if necessary, in case the duty engineer does not respond to an alarm, or if a dead man alarm is released.
This contains all the channels which are in the automatic or manual cut-out list state.

The shipboard management system exists to ensure vessel is managed safely and efficiently.
The automatic telephone system is a solid state electronic telephone switching system with integrated circuit components which ensure high quality transmission. It is fitted to provide communication through out the vessel. The exchange caters for fifty extensions, each with auto-dialling facilities to the other extensions. Alongside each extension is a directory of all extensions in the system. A two-digit numbering system is used. The system is designed for four lines to linked simultaneously
The Master station consists of the public address/talk back amplifier, radio tuner and tape recorder.
The following five lines have a priority override feature to enable them to be connected to an engaged line: Wheelhouse
The panel is fitted with a microphone, a monitor speaker, and is able to control all speakers on board for broadcasting important instructions. Speakers are provided in the accommodation alleyways, public rooms, working spaces and deck. The public address system can be accessed from the auto telephone system for paging purposes.
Meetings are held at regular intervals to ensure all personnel are aware of the objectives of the system. Weekly meetings are held to discuss the vessel’s forthcoming operations schedule, as well as mechanical or fabric maintenance due to be completed. A safety meeting is held each month, with a minimum of one meeting every 3 months. The object is to discuss safety at sea, prevention of human injury or loss of life and avoidance of damage to the marine environment and property.
The system is supplied from the main 220volt system with back up from the emergency 24volt system.
Captain’s Cabin Chief Engineer’s Cabin
A facility is provided for overriding the general alarm during announcements.
