Class IV Oral Question in MMD Kolkata For Function-3,4b &6: Freeboard Deck
Class IV Oral Question in MMD Kolkata For Function-3,4b &6: Freeboard Deck
2. Bow Height:
The bow height defined as the vertical distance at the forward perpendicular between the waterline corresponding to the assigned
summer freeboard and the designed trim and the top of the exposed deck at side.
3. Freeboard deck :
The freeboard deck is normally the uppermost complete deck exposed to weather and sea, which has permanent means of closing all
openings in the weather part thereof, and below which all the openings in the sides of the ship are fitted with permanent means of
watertight closing. In a ship having a discontinuous uppermost deck, the lowest line of the exposed deck and the continuation of that line
parallel to the upper part of the deck is taken as the freeboard deck. At the option of the owner and subject to the approval of the
Administration, a lower deck may be designated as the freeboard deck, provided it is a complete and permanent deck continuous in a fore
and aft direction at least between the machinery space and peak bulkheads and continuous athwardships . When this lower deck is
stepped the lowest line of the deck and the continuation of that line parallel to the upper part of the deck is taken as the freeboard deck.
When a lower deck is designated as the freeboard deck, that part of the hull which extends above the freeboard deck is treated as a
superstructure so far as concerns the application of the conditions of assignment and the calculation of freeboard. It is from this deck that
the freeboard is calculated.
4. Superstructure :
A superstructure is a decked structure on the freeboard deck, extending from side to side of the ship or with the side plating not being
inboard of the shell plating more than 4 per cent of the breadth (B). A raised quarter deck is regarded as a superstructure.
6. Upper deck :
The upper deck is the uppermost complete deck exposed to weather and sea, which has permanent means of weathertight closing of all
openings in the weather part thereof, and below which all openings in the sides of the ship are fitted with permanent means of watertight
closing. In a ship having a stepped upper deck, the lowest line of the exposed deck and the continuation of that line parallel to the upper
part of the deck is taken as the upper deck.
7. Clear grounds :
Evidence that the ship, its equipment, or its crew does not correspond substantially with the requirements of the relevant conventions or
that the master or crew members are not familiar with essential shipboard procedures relating to the safety of ships or the prevention of
pollution.
9. What is stem? Cross section of stem? Where it connects?What is coffin plate? Coffin plate connects the stem to the keel . Coffin
plate is in fwd and aft end of the keel which joins keel to the stem. (refer H J Pursey)
10. What is the latest amendment in solas?
11. Why ships transformers are air cooled and not oil cooled? (oil may leak, fire hazard)
12. Can you change the fuel injection timing or stop the fuel flow in one of the 3 injectors in a single unit in RT-flex.
Yes, we can stop the fuel through any one injectors at a time. WECS can give signal to any one of the rail valve separately and hence
the particular injection control valve will operate and the particular fuel injector will inject the fuel. This improves the injection
pressure at low rpm and loads and hence improve combustion.
Overhauling of the pump is well understood with the cross sectional view.
into account the layout of the machinery space and the number of persons normally working in the spaces.* The number and location of
these devices shall be indicated in the fire control plan required in regulation Emergency escape breathing devices shall comply with the
Fire Safety Systems Code.
The numbers needed for machinery spaces is undefined and is a departure from the normal prescriptive requirement. Because of the
different manning arrangements and machinery space layouts, IMO concluded that it would be not be possible to determine satisfactory
carriage requirements. The object of the regulation is to allow personnel to evacuate a dangerous space to a place of safety. It is the
owner/operator, through a risk assessment process, and in consultation with the ships crew, who is to determine the number and location
of the EEBD's. If a surveyor attending a ship is not satisfied with the arrangements, he/she should ask for the assessment to be repeated in
light of deficiencies identified.
20. What is strake and what is the difference btw strake and plate?
Strakes are the continuous row of plates starts from aft to fwd of the ship. Each strake are named in SHELL AND EXPANSION plan of
the ship. Strake is made up by joining various plates. (For more, read H J persy)
26. What is panting beam and how the fluctuating water pressure acts on the ship's hull and panting region?
Panting beams are fitted across the ship in each alternate frame spaces in the panting region and are bracketed to the panting
stringers. Stiffening in panting region is done by horizontal plate stiffeners fitted vertically not more than 2m apart called panting
stringers. Fluctuations in water pressure tend to create in and out movement of the shell plating. At the fore end, where the shell is
relatively flat, this fluctuating water pressure effect is greatest.
27. What is meta centre, metacentric height, effect of increasing or decreasing metacentric height, righting lever, GM is termed as --?
For small angle of heel, up to 10o, the vertical through the new centre of buoyancy meet the central line at a point called
Metacentre.
28. SCBA bottle free volume inside and pressure of bottle?
Minimum of 1200lts of air must be compressed in to the scba. Each person avg consumption is 30-40 lts per minute. Hence it can be used
for 30 min. Out of which 20% is kept for safety margin. Hence 24min is for working use. Pr inside bottle is 210-240 bar for a centurion type
scba. 90% filled 10%vol free.
To enable pipes of reception facilities to be connected with the ship's discharge pipeline for residues from machinery bilges, both lines

- Ballast water management room must have a level diagram which shows the level of water so that excess water can be pump
overboard.
- Hatch covers are hydraulic sliding type provided with eccentric wheels which can be set up by rotating through 180o so that the panel
will sit down and steel compression bar will compress the rubber and ensures perfect watertight integrity. Class surveyor will issue the
certificate after checking it.
- BLU book. Each operation of bulk carrier loading will be entered in the BLU book by the chief officer. He will documented the even
loading and loading calculations.
99. location of detectors, ammendments made and why????
100. bulbous bow...complete... 3 uses...of fitting it
Reduce wave making resistance and hence the fuel consumption.
Increased the buoyancy forward and hence reduces the pitching of the ship to some extent.
Increases the speed of the vessel.
Its plates are thicker in size hence provide strength to fwd structure.
The blower carriage consists of three separate components: the lance hub assembly, the gearbox and the electric motor.
The lance hub housing contains the lance hub, which is supported by two special roller bearings.
Because the lance tube is fully retracted from the furnace and cooled through the blowing medium, the long retractable soot blower can
be used in areas with higher flue gas temperature than any other soot blower type. Retractable property improves the cleaning effect and
reduce erosions due to high temperature flue gases. The blowing medium is supplied through an automated poppet valve.
104. accumulation pressure..use????why testing done...why different setting for smoke tube and water tube....
Accumulation pressure : It is the rise in the boiler pressure which takes place when the spring loaded safety valve lift due to increased
loading caused by further compression of the spring.
High pressure- saturation temp increase and more heat can be stored in the same amount of water.
Water tube : High pressure and high capacity Smoke tube : Less pressure and less capacity
Water tube boiler Smoke tube boiler
1 Little reserve of water and steam in the boiler. Hence efficient Less stringent control of water is sufficient, as bulk of water is
control of water level and exact and frequent dosing of used and heat exchange area is very less as compared to water
chemicals is required. tube.
2 High rate of heat transfer across small bore tubes and hence Thick tubes and less heat transfer.
positive circulation of water is required.
3 Heat exchange area is large , thin tubes may get corroded and pressure should not be increased by 10%of w.p. after
damage quickly, so the pressure should not be increased by 7minutes when safety valve already got lifted
10%of w.p. after 15 minutes when safety valve already got
lifted.
4 Possible to use high pr and temp. Wider safety margin in Low pr
event of explosion. Big size.
Saving in space.
5 Small bore tube demands pure feed content hence water Thick and large size bore tube.
should be treated properly to prevent scale formation.
Boiler water level depends upon the steam flow rate also so it cannot be only control by one element( input) of water level.
When the load increases, steam demand increases and the pressure will drop inside the boiler resulting the drop in saturation
temperature. Water will start flashing off in to steam causing of formation of a mass of steam bubbles which will increase the water level.
This effect is called swell.
Similarly when the load decreases, the pr inside boiler start increasing causing the increase in saturation temperature, steam bubbles
formation stops and the water level reduces. This is called Shrinkage.
Hence to control the boiler water level, keeping in mind the steam and feed water flow rate, 3 element control is used.

110. what is free surface effect?
Pantoon type covers which are lifted on and off by the container terminal gantry cranes are used as the hatch covers.
Deep transverse frame and torsion box collectively take the torsional stresses and the racking stresses.
Double bottom is longitudinally framed and laid along the full length of the ship.
Plate floors are fitted at every 4th frame in the cargo spaces and every frame in the machinery spaces.
In the pounding region forward, solid floors exists initially at each alternating frame and then at every frame.
Tank top plating is increased in thickness in the cargo hold spaces.
Pipe tunnels are located in the port and starboard in the double bottom and access is provided via watertight doors from the machinery
spaces. Side of the pipe tunnels are formed by the side girder and further intercoastal side girders are fitted in the tunnel space.
Containers are supported by the cell guides fitted in the cargo holds for each corner of the containers and angle bar(secure the container
to the cell guide) in the holds and on the hatch covers. Lashing arrangements are also provided.

115. why piston skirt is large?
1.Soft bronze rings need to be fitted in the piston skirts. These bronze rings help during the running-in of the engine, when the engine is
new, and can be replaced if necessary.
2. In two stroke engines having loop or cross scavenging arrangements the skirts are slightly larger as these helps in blanking off the
scavenge and the exhaust ports in the liner
3. In four stroke or trunk piston engines the skirt has arrangement for gudgeon pin, which transmits power from the piston to the gudgeon
pin or top end bearing. As there are no cross head guides in four stroke engines, these skirts help in transferring the side thrust produced
from the connecting rod to the liner walls.
