• Lub Oil Consumption

• Chemicals

• Gas Bottles: 10 Oxygen and 5 Acetylene

30
 Lub Oil Consumption

ME Cylinder Oil:
• It is a general conception to increase the cylinder oil dosage in case of any abnormality in the cylinder condition
e.g. breakage of piston rings, wear down of cylinder liner.
• Excess cylinder oil lubrication can cause more harm than good, the additives in the excess cylinder oil will not be
neutralized by the sulphur in the fuel and will deposit as calcium powder on the piston top land and on the piston
ring surface. These are abrasive particles and will increase the wear down process.
• Excess cylinder oil will also lead to - sluggish piston rings resulting in blow by and eventually breakage of piston
rings.
• Alpha Lubricators has been retrofitted on 7 vessels ( Maritime Jewel, Arafura Sea, Barents Sea, Coral Sea,
Ceram Sea, Aral Sea, Black Sea ) Pending: Ceylon.
• All new building vessels are fitted with Alpha Lubricators from new building time.
• As the average fuel oil sulphur content is gradually reducing globally, TPM has decided to supply TBN 50
( Universal Grade Cylinder Oil ) instead of TBN 70 Cylinder Oil. This will enable vessels to carry only one
grade of cylinder oil globally including ECA areas.

ME Crankcase Oil:
• Main engine crankcase oil to continuously purified for the oil to maintain its lubricating properties. Ingress of water
to be closely either from the purifier or from some other source.
• Excess water emulsified in the lub oil cannot be separated by purification and the complete batch of oil will need
to be renewed.
• Stuffing boxes to be maintained as per maker instructions to prevent loss of crank case oil.

AE Crankcase Oil:
• Piston ring grooves, oil scraper rings to be maintained to prevent oil carry over and increased consumption.

31
 Cost Controls - Chemicals

Drew Ameriod: Fixed Fee Agreement

Nalfleet: Total System Management (TSM)
 
• Annual contracts with a fixed cost per ship to Tanker Pacific.  These agreements
cover the supply of treatment chemicals (boiler/evaporator), testing reagents and
maintenance chemicals under normal operating conditions.
• The range of chemical products available is customized to meet Tanker Pacific’s
requirement.

In addition to the supply of chemicals, value added services provided by suppliers:

• Monthly submission of ROB and Treatment Logs directly to suppliers for analysis
report and consumption monitoring.
• Chemical Requisition submission directly to Supplier to ensure optimized usage and
top-up.
• Monitoring of ROB by supplier to ensure optimum inventory.
• Direct access by vessel to supplier (via email) for advice and product support.

32
 Bunker Consumption

Cargo heating consumptions :

The following factors are likely to influence increase of bunkers
consumptions for cargo heating:
1. Inadequate planning of cargo heating i.e. no consideration given to
the following:
•  duration of voyage
•  expected climatic conditions en-route
•  Condition / integrity of the heating coils
•  history of heating capability & consumptions on previous voyages
2. Inadequate monitoring of cargo temperatures
3. Opening / throttling of heating coils not controlled as required
4. Adequate steam pressure not maintained on the deck steam line
5. Inadequate monitoring of functional status of individual heating coil
6. Steam traps on heating coils not functioning as desired due to lack of
inspection / maintenance

33
 Bunker Consumption

Excessive daily average of running of Auxiliary Engines:

1. Auxiliary Engines not maintained to operate at design loads
2. Un-necessary / Non-essential load on the auxiliary engines
can be taken off by cutting off the non-essential equipments
3. Energy Conservation by Efficient Operations and
Maintenance Of Diesel Engines
• Turbocharger
• Cylinder Condition
• Air Cooler
• Fuel Injection Equipment
• Exhaust Gas Economizer
• Engine Room Ventilation
• Condition Monitoring
• Calibration
• Oil Analysis

34
 Bunker Consumption

1. Optimum operation of steam turbine cargo pumps taking into account Charter
Party discharge warranties / terminal requirements
2. Saving of bunkers during cargo tanks inerting / purging -  Displacement method to
be employed as far as practicable so as to minimize the duration of the inerting /
purging operations
3. Fuel Saving by steaming at economical speed when there are no time constraints
on a voyage
4. Cargo stowage, loading & discharge plan should take into consideration the
possibility of minimising ballast / de-ballast operations.
5. To avoid / minimise operation of boiler during sea passage and / or “idling “:
• Maintenance of Economizer to be carried out on a regular basis to ensure that it is able
to cope up with general sailing steam consumption (without cargo heating).
• Steam leakages to minimize / stop to conserve steam (to avoid cutting in of the boiler
due to steam losses).
• Avoid excessive heating of bunker tanks
• Use A/E exhaust (in case arrangement provided) to produce steam during idling period of
the vessel.
6. Cleaning of ships hull (in case of fouling) and polishing of propeller to be carried
out to avoid overloading of ME and excess consumption of fuel.

35
 Docking Cycles

• 5 years docking for ships less than 15 years of

age.
• Ceylon and Centennial Jewel – 2010 (Appendix 3)
• Coral Sea, Ceram Sea and North Sea – 2011
(Appendix 4)

• 12 (Appendix 5) vessels have approval for IWS /

UWILD / BIS
• Supported with a liberal spares supply policy

37
 Deck & Engine Staff Team Work

• Starting heavy motors (e.g. Ballast Pump, IGS Blower, GS & Fire Pump, Steering
Gear Motor, Deck Air Compressor, deck hydraulic machinery, etc.) without
informing eng room could lead to black out if only 1 D/G running at nearly full load.
• Restarting heavy motors without giving sufficient time interval (about 20-30
minutes), the starter contacts can seize causing motor to burn.
• Too much helm when vessel running at full speed at sea could lead to heavy
vibrations and excessive load on the steering system.
• Starting air pressure should be closely monitored when too many main engine
start / stops are required. Air compressors to be maintained in good condition and
their running to be controlled effectively during such situations.
• Main engine may fail to start when giving astern movement while ship still moving
in ahead direction @ or above 4-5 knots.
• Sudden stopping of the cargo pumps except in emergency situation or increasing
turbine rpm too rapidly can lead to boiler load problems.
• Dropping anchor too fast when vessel still moving in ahead direction can cause
excessive load on windlass.
• Dropping anchor too fast with hydraulic motor engaged can lead to overload on the
motor and its breakdown.

38
 Deck & Engine Staff Team Work

• Importance of maintaining deck machinery hydraulic oil temp…to warm up if too cold
and use of cooler during operations.
• Operation of Windlass in heavy weather…danger to the hydraulic motor once coupled
to the cable lifter in heavy seas. Hydraulic motor can get overloaded and overrun.
Main engine should be used to reduce tension in cable if you have to pick up anchor
and move in such situations.
• Breaking out a bedded anchor with windlass instead by using main engine can cause
excessive load on windlass.
• Starting of life boat engines by ship staff who are unfamiliar with life boat engine may
damage the engine.
• The order of opening sequence of valves for steam line….Open first return line
valve…wait till the line gets drained of accumulated condensed water…then gradually
open steam inlet line and warm up the line gradually before opening more steam as
required.
• Seeing too much of white “smoke” from funnel…may be steam from relief valve
lifting/leaking….inform engine room.
• Normal or Emergency tripping steam driven COPs and WBPs at high rpm will leave
the governor at that rpm setting and during restart the rpm will shoot back to the rpm
at which the pump was tripped. RPM should be reduced to minimum and then trip the
pump in normal circumstances. And as far as possible.

39
 Deck & Engine Staff Team Work

• In case of unplanned Black out, Deck Officer on watch on Bridge, should

immediately switch off all the Navigational equipment which does not have
UPS or 24 V supply on Bridge from its main control unit and Breaker at
Distribution board prior main power returns. This is to avoid any Power
Surge and getting equipment damaged. Once Power is restored the AC
Power breaker to be switched ON. For example - Radar (if not connected
with UPS), Gyro if not connected with Battery supply, Speed Log, Echo
sounder, RAI, Rate of Turn Indicator, Inmarsat B/F/Broad Band if not
connected with Battery power supply.

• Where MF/HF Antenna Change over unit is fitted (mainly on JRC GMDSS
equipment), this unit always to be kept on Auto mode to ensure that
Antenna is automatically grounded when there is no Transmission. When
PTT switch on Handset is pressed for Transmission, Operator need to
confirm that Antenna change over unit is automatically connected to
Antenna to ensure that this unit is functioning properly, because in case it
remains connected at Ground /Earth due to malfunction of this unit while
transmitting, the Transmitter's PA Unit will get burnt.

40
