(a) As a senior Engineer, Explain the term Continuous Machinery

Survey. (3M)

(b) Explain how classification societies have reduced the need for
attendance by the surveyor

(c) Describe how a planned maintenance scheme may be used in

conjunction with CMS.

(d) Name TWO programs approved by classification societies so that

physically opening up of the machinery is not necessary on every
occasion. (2M)

(a) Continuous Machinery Survey(CMS)

 CMS is the survey of a part of machinery as per Class’s survey lists. By

opening up within the range date
  Continuously to complete the whole machineries on board within 5-
years cycle.

(b) Classification society surveyor surveyed crankshaft, main bearings,

bottom end bearings, and thrust bearings

(1) Chief Engineer’s Open up, Carry out inspection and Confirmatory
Survey System

 Most CMS items except ME coupling, reduction gear, turbine and one
set of cargo refrigerating compressor, can be opened up, inspected and
prepared survey reports by Chief Engineer within 3 months before due
date.
 All these items can be credited by attending Class Surveyor as
Confirmatory survey.

(2) Substitution for Open-up Inspection System

 Pumps, heaters and deck machineries of CMS items visually inspected

under operating conditions, reviewed the log book data and credited by
attending Class Surveyor.

(3) Planned Maintenance Scheme (PMS)

 Most of CMS inspections are carried out by Chief engineer, based on

approved computerized Planned Maintenance Scheme jobs. Class
surveyor needs to attend onboard only once a year to verify the CMS
items.

(4) Harmonized Survey System

 Harmonize intervals between surveys of main legitimate certificates. all

main surveys can be carried out at one time and reducing the Class
surveyor attendance.
(c) PMS consists of most of CMS items.

 If PMS is approved by Classification Society, PMS for machinery is as

alternative to (CMS).
 Maintenance carried out as per PMS including CMS items and all data
and history entry into PMS program by Chief engineer.
 Machinery components credited after carrying out the annual audit by
Class Surveyor.

(d) (1) Lubricant Analysis

 It is condition monitoring program of the machinery. If the analysis

results show normal, the machinery is assumed in normal operating
condition and not necessary for open up on every occasion.

(2) Vibration Monitoring Analysis

 It is the most common technique to determine the condition of rotating

machinery.
 All vibration measurements compared to alarm set points and display
in graphically changes in machine condition over time.
 not necessary for open up on every occasion.

(b) Preventive maintenance

(c) Condition based maintenance

(d) Corrective maintenance

(a) Computerized PMS

 PMS consists of most of CMS inspections.

 Approved by Classification Society and PMS is alternative to Continuous
Machinery Survey (CMS).
  PMS is based upon Preventive Maintenance, Condition Based
Maintenance, and Corrective Maintenance.
 PMS identifies where condition monitoring is applied and consists of
 Maintenance schedule including CMS items.
 Maintenance history for each component including breakdown and
defect details.
 Standard job descriptions and manufacturers service instructions.
 All data and history entry into PMS program done by Chief Engineer.
 Machinery Components credited after carrying out annual audit of
reported maintenance history in vessel’s computer based PMS.

(b) Preventive Maintenance (R.H based)

 Time based maintenance program.

 Inspection and overhauling of components and system after opening
out at specified time periods, or specified running hours
 System or component is in a satisfactory condition for continued
operation.
 Maintenance carried out based on R.H prevent machineries damage.

(c) Condition Based Maintenance (Performance based)

 Maintain correct equipment at right time,

 Need for maintenance based on performance of components and
system
 Determined by regular or continuous checks of applicable parameters
(Checking machinery with condition monitoring system)
 Maintenance is only carried out when conditions reached lowest
acceptable standard, before serious breakdown.
 Vibration monitoring analysis is the most common technique to
determine the condition of machineries.

(d) Corrective Maintenance (Breakdown maintenance)

  Unscheduled or breakdown maintenance.
 Carried out to restore components and system back to operational
condition after a failure or malfunction

Q2: Differential between prohibited area and restricted area

Prohibited area: are where no trespassing is allowed and trespassers are liable to be prosecuted.
Restricted area: area where entry is subjected to identification of the concerned personnel.
 
Q4: What is PSSA (particular sensitive sea area) and what is the difference between special areas?
PSSA is an area, which needs special protection through action by IMO because of its significance
for recognized ecological, or socio economic or scientific reasons and which may be vulnerable to
damage by international maritime activities E.g.; Great Barrier Reef

SPECIAL AREA means a sea area where for recognized technical reasons in relation to its
oceanographically and ecological conditions and to the particular character of its traffic the adoption
of special mandatory methods for the prevention of sea pollution by oil, NLS, garbage, sewage, air,
and hazardous substances in packed form. E.g. Baltic sea

PSSA can be protected by ships routing measures such as an area to be avoided, an area with in
defined limits in which either navigation is particularly hazardous or it is exceptionally important to
avoid causality and which should be avoided by all ships or by certain classes of ships.

Whereas in special area no special navigational limitations exists and required discharge criterions
laid down as per MARPOL annexes are to be met while enroot.

State and describe 3 disadvantages of scrificial anodes used in heat exchangers .

1. Yes it creates turbulence.

2. If substantial wear occurs or zinc dislodges,

premature failure or permanent damage may occur to the heat exchanger.

3.Method of attachment- it is attached using a metal support and is welded or bolted, usually
corrosion occurs here due to stress.

4. Usually attached to the end covers of heat exchangers. Due to expansion and contractions they
fail soon.

5. Frequent maintenance is required for such anodes, atleast inspection is needed to ensure its still
in place not dislodged. Opening and closing the Heat exchangers just for anode is tedious.
Q. 2) Engine room overhead crane test before liner removal ?

ANSWER | check certificate is valid, limit switches are tested, visual condition of the
wire and sheave, oil in gearboxes and ensure gap between clutch is upto 2mm.
adjust if reqd. conduct load test if in doubt and check condition of beams, sheaves,
whether any deformation

Q.) Going in seca action as chief engineer. problem faced during change over ?X
ANSWER Due 2 change of grade possibility of problem with auto f.o. filter,as i
experienced once,frequent increase in differential & draining. 2.due to decrease in
sulphur content,decreased lubrication to plunger-barrel,increased chances of
seizure of plunger-barrel,so lubricating additives are added to f.o. tank having low
sulphur. 3.since booster & supply pump on old ship are not designed for presently
used low sulphur,so different set of screws are provided to be changed prior change
over to low sulphur.

Q. 6) Engine room sea chest main line crack action as chief engineer ?

ANSWER | stop vessel. close sea chest. stop pump/s after line is partially drained,
as per location either blank and use other sea chest. various engg techniques can
be utilised for repair of the crack depending on the extent and location of the crack.

Q) EXPLAIN LOAD DEPENDENT AND SPEED DEPENDENT IN CYLINDER

LUBRICATION ?

Q) What is pulse lubrication system?

Q) what is meant by Derating the Engine?

Q) What is meant by slow Steaming?

Q) Difference between survey & audit ?
Answer :Audit tells us whether we are doing what we should be doing and how well
we are doing it . It is about quality and finding out if best practiced is being
practiced and records are maintained and updated as required .An Audit is defined
methodology carried out by a competent and independent person to review the
practice being followed . Survey : Visual inspection to identify if machinery ,
equipment are working satisfactorily and necessary document are available on
board to support the same .There has been no tampering , altering or
compromising of rules and regulation to be followed .A survey forms part of
scheduled maintenance inspection carried out by a competent person . Survey is
done to appraise or endorse certificates or approve supporting documents
