An Engineer Duties on Joining a ship

On joining a ship an engineer reports to the chief engineer. He shall consult with the
engineer he is relieving regarding the machinery and equipment for which he will be
responsible. He shall inspect such machinery and equipment and report any deficiencies
found to the chief engineer. During his contract period, the engineer may be assigned to
supplementary day work at the discretion of the chief engineer. His duties may be to assist
with repair work, upkeep and installation of ship’s machinery and equipment as directed.
In his routine work he shall require that all safety precautions are observed by the
personnel under his supervision.
As the engineer signs aboard, he, like any other crewman, is given a number. His
emergency duties and stations are indicated on the Muster List/Station Bill for this number.
43
The Muster List is an official document on which are described the station and
assignment/duty of each crew member during a fire emergency or other emergency
situations, as well as the boat station and duty assignment of each member of the crew
during an abandon ship procedure.
The engineer must familiarize himself with the location and duties of his emergency
stations immediately upon reporting on board. He should remember that the fire and
emergency signal is a continuous blast on the ship’s whistle for a period of at least 10
seconds supplemented by continuous ringing of the general alarm bells for a period of 25-
30 seconds. Three short rings of the general alarm bells dismissal from fire stations.
Immediately upon hearing the Abandon Ship (also Lifeboat Stations or Life-raft Stations)
signal on the general alarm bells, the engineer must go promptly but without panic to the
embarkation station properly dressed wearing a life jacket. There, he may have to turn out
the davit for launching lifeboat and attend the boat engine.

The engine department emerged with the arrival of marine engines for propulsion,
largely during the late half of the 19th century. Due to advances in marine technology
during the 20th century, the engineering department aboard merchant ships is considered
equally important as the deck department, since trained engineers are required to handle
43
the machinery on a ship. Nowadays due to the increase in automation on merchant
vessels and the increase in the unattended machinery spaces (UMS) aboard them, the
number of seafaring engineers has decreased drastically on board merchant ships. Today,
the engine department usually consists of the following number of engineers and crew:
Chief Engineer, Second Engineer, Third Engineer, Fourth Engineer, Junior Engineer, Engine
Cadet, Oiler, Wiper, Fitter, Motorman, Machinist.

The engineers are also called technical officers. They are responsible for keeping
the ship and the machinery running. Today, ships are complex units that combine a lot of
technology within a small space. This includes not only the engine and the propulsion
system, but also for example, the electric power supply, devices for loading and
discharging, garbage incineration and fresh water generators.

Task 1. Read the text and answer the questions

The Control and Safety Devices


The distribution of electric power requires the use of many devices to control the
current and to protect the circuits and equipment. Control devices are those electrical
accessories which govern the power supplied to any electrical load. A control device
applies voltage to an individual load or removes voltage from it.
Switchboards make use of hand-operated/manual switches as well as of electrically
operated controls. The manually operated switches are those familiar electrical items
which can be operated by motions of the hand, as with a pushing, pulling, or twisting
motion. The type of action required to operate the switch is indicated by the names of the
control devices - push-button switch, pull-chain switch, or rotary switch.
Automatic switches are devices which perform their function of control by means of
repeated closing and opening43of their contacts. Limit switches and float switches are
typical of automatic switches.
The simplest protective device is a fuse, consisting of a metal alloy strip or wire and
terminals for electrically connecting the fuse into the circuit The most important
characteristic of a fuse is its “blowing” ability. Normally, when a circuit is overloaded or
when a fault develops, the fuse element melts and opens the circuit protecting it. However,
all fuse openings are not the result of current overload or circuit faults. Abnormal
production of heat, ageing of the fuse element, poor contact due to loose connections,
oxides or other corrosion products forming within the fuse holder may cause a fuse
opening.
A more complex type of protective device is the circuit breaker. It also performs the
function of normal switching and is used to isolate a defective circuit while repairs are
being made. Circuit breakers may be operated both manually and electrically.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF A SHIP

The main body of a snip is called a hull. The hull is divided into three main parts
the foremost part is called the bow, the rearmost part is called the stern, the part in
between is called midships. In dry cargo vessel the cargo space is divided into
holds. At the fore end of the hull there are the forepeak tanks, and at the after end
are afterpeak tanks. They are used for fresh water and fuel. All permanent housing
above the main deck is known as superstructure. On deck there are cargo-handling
facilities, such as cranes, winches, derricks. The forward raised part of the deck is
called the forecastle and its after raised part is the poop. The angle that a ship is
making fore and aft with the water is known as trim. A list or inclination from one
side to another, caused  by faulty loading is known as heel. The divided circle on
the left shows the depth to which the ship may be loaded in summer time. Below
this line on the grid to the right there two lines. The one marked W means winter
loading, the lower marked WNA means maximum depth if a ship is going across
North Atlantic, T- tropic, F-fresh waters.

Task 1. Read the text and answer the questions
General Arrangement

The front portion of a ship is called the BOW. Large tankers, bulk carriers and
ships of some other types are provided with a bulbous bow which can reduce
pitching in heavy seas and increase speed when the ship is in ballast. The fact that
the hull of an individual ship is provided with a BOW BULB, unseen in a full-
loaded ship, is shown by a special mark on both sides of the bow above the water-
line. It is a safety precaution.
Most modem passenger liners, tankers, bulk carriers and container ships have
a thwartship propulsion unit fitted in the fore underwater portion of the hull and
called BOW THRUSTER. The purpose of this arrangement is to make the
maneuvering of the ship in confined and congested waters easier. The availability
of a bow thruster in a ship is marked on a ship’s hull.
The rear portion of a ship is named THE STERN. We say that a ship is
moving ASTERN when she is moving stern first. When a ship is moving bow first
she is said to be moving AHEAD then.
THE RUDDER situated right aft below the water line is a, means used for
maintaining the ship’s course.
The area between the bow and the stem is called THE MIDSHIPS. The
maximum breadth of a vessel is found in the midships body. It is known as THE
BEAM.
A HOLD is a below-deck space where cargo is stowed.
The space in the lower part of the ship’s hull comprised between the outer and
inner bottoms is called THE DOUBLE-BOTTOM. Fuel oil storage tanks, fresh
water tanks and ballast tanks are located there. This space protects the ship in case
of damage to the outside plating.
There are aboard every ship two CHAIN LOCKERS for the stowage of ANCHOR
CHAINS. These compartments are situated in the forward part of the ship, in front
of the collision bulkhead. Each of them is fitted with a ring bolt to which the end
of the chain is secured.

Task 7. Read the text and translate it into Ukrainian or Russian and ask as many
different questions to the text as you can ( at least 5)

During the past twenty years or so a number of important improvements have been
made,in the design of cargo ships. .
In the first place, cargo ships of all types are now faster than they were before.
This is partly because of improved machinery and partly because of improvements
in hull design.
Secondly, cargo ships are much larger in size nowadays. One reason for this
increase in size is that it is more economical to run one large ship than two smaller
ones. Another reason is that ports all over the world are constantly being improved.
A third reason is that improvements in ship construction make it possible to build
larger ships.
Another improvement in ship design has been the improved use of hull space.
More room for cargo has been gained by putting the engine room and bridge superstructure at
the after end of the ship. More room for passengers in passenger ships has been gained by
reducing the number of classes.
Finally, there has been a reduction in the time needed to load and unload cargo. This has been
done in a number of ways. One way has been the introduction of better

Task 1. Read the text and answer the questions

The Propulsion system


THE PROPULSION SYSTEM of a diesel-driven ship includes main engines
and supporting systems: fuel system, lubricating (oil) system, cooling system,
supercharging system, starting and reversing system, as well as couplings,
reduction gear, shafting and a propeller - fixed-pitch or variable-pitch propeller
(controllable-pitch-propeller - CPP).
THE POWER PLANT of a turbine-driven ship usually consists of steam
turbines connected through flexible couplings to a reduction gear for driving the
propeller shaft and steam generators which may be forced-draft type boilers of the
two-drum, water-tube, double-cased type fitted with superheaters, regenerative air
heaters, and water-wall furnaces.
Some ships have diesel-electric or turbo-electric drive. In such ships the
power plant is used not to drive the propeller directly but to generate electricity for
the driving motor coupled to the propeller shaft.
Today more than 70% of the world fleet are propelled by diesel engines most
of which are designed or converted for burning heavy fuel oil which is cheaper.

1) What are the supporting systems of a diesel engine? Why are they so
called?

2) What are the two main parts of a turbine driven ship power plant?

Task 7. Read the text and translate it into Ukrainian or Russian and ask
as many different questions to the text as you can ( at least 5)
Wet cargoes, which include such cargoes as vegetable oil and wine, are
carried in drums and barrels. There is always the possibility of leakage, therefore
they must not be stowed on top of other cargoes.
Dry cargoes cannot possibly leak, but they can be damaged by leakage from
wet ' cargoes, therefore they must be stowed away from them. Flour, animal feed
and rice, which are carried in bags, are examples of dry cargoes.
Cargoes which leave a residue behind them are known as dirty cargoes.
Because the dust from cement and fertilizers can damage other cargoes, holds
must be' cleaned out carefully after them.
Odorous cargoes, which include rubber and wool, give off fumes. These fumes
can damage delicate cargoes, therefore they must be stowed separately.
Heavy cargoes must he given bottom stowage, because they will break more
fragile cargoes. When very heavy items are carried in ships, they should be
stowed over bulkheads, as they might damage the deck plating.
Cargoes which are combustible, toxic or liable to explode are classified as
dangerous cargoes. Because they are a risk to human life and the safety of the
ship, they are subject to strict laws.
Perishable food is usually carried in refrigerated ships; however, some general
cargo vessels have refrigerated holds. Meat and fish are often frozen solid, but
fruit and vegetables are only chilled.

General drills
The general drills held aboard ship are designed to prepare the crew to handle
emergencies.
By using a standard system of drills, it is possible for a seaman to move from
one ship to another and still know what to do in an emergency. Every crew
member must know exactly where his station is, and what his job is, for each drill
or emergency. This important information is clearly stated on the MUSTER LIST.
No one is excused from any drill unless permission has been granted by the
department head.
All crewmembers must familiarize themselves with the location and duties of
their emergency stations upon reporting on board. Each crewmember is provided
with an individual muster list card, which shows in detail the special duties to
perform.
All crewmembers must be instructed in the performance of their special duties.
The crew on watch/watch-keepers will remain on their watches upon hearing the
Emergency Drill signal.
So, the shipboard drills are held in order to train the crew to cope with real
emergencies. The Muster List is an official document that tells every crewmember
where to go and what to do in a drill or real emergency.
The alarm for a real fire may be given at any time and it will be rapid ringing of
the ship’s bells/continuous ringing of the General Alarm Bells for a period of at
least 10 seconds. An announcement is made twice over the general announcing
system/public address system.
For the drill purposes, a fire may be assumed to be in a specific area.
The person who discovers an actual fire must give the fire alarm. This person
must use any means at hand to spread the fire alarm.
Once the fire alarm has sounded, the personnel being nearby should act
promptly to check or extinguish/put out the fire. All other crew members respond
to the alarm in accordance with the Muster List instructions.
The emergency squad/party will assemble immediately upon the Emergency
Signal has sounded. They will have the required equipment.
The steward department’s personnel will assemble and direct passengers,
properly dressed and wearing their lifejackets, to the embarkation stations.
Immediately upon the Fire and Emergency Signal has sounded, the fire pumps
must be started, all the watertight doors, ports and air shafts must be closed, and all
the fans and blowers stopped. The required fire hoses must be led/run out in the
affected area.

1) Why is it so important to hold general drills onboard every vessel?


2) How do the crew members respond to the fire alarm?
3) What must all crew members familiarize themselves with?
4) What is the Muster List?
5) What must be done immediately upon the Fire and Emergency Signal has
sounded?

CONTAINER SHIP
Containerizaition means consolidation of goods of single or mixed commodity into
a freight containers. Containers may be closed or open and which in conformance
to the recommendation of the ISO would be 10,20,30,or 40ft in length by 8ft wide
and 9ft or 9ft 6inch high in external cross-section. A container is designed to be
handled mechanically throughout the transit. Specially designed cellular container
ships and efficient port facilities are essential in order to take full advantage of the
system. Cellular type full container ships are serviced by shore-based or shipboard
gantry cranes. The cellular type full container ship is equipped to carry containers
in the holds and on the hatch covers. Within the holds of the vessel there is cellular
structure of angle bars forming container guides, into which the containers are
stowed, one on top of another. Cellular ships operating between load centres
equipped with shore based cranes have the advantage of greater dead-weight
capacity as compared to self-sustaining ships fitted with shipboard mounted gantry
cranes. In many areas of the world on short interport service feeder ships of similar
configuration but of reduced capacity are in operation. There are also roll on/roll of
container ships on which the containers are mounted on the wheels or trailers and
are then rolled on ship and stowed complete with their undercarriage.

TYPES OF SHIPS
On one hand, all cargo ships are divided into two types: dry cargo ships and
tankers. On the other hand, cargo ships may be divided into universal ships
designed to carry principal different types of cargo and specialized ships designed
to carry one type of cargo. Such specialized ships as bulkers, timber-carriers, reefer
ships, tankers have long been known. One is cargo-carriers with cargo handling
equipment on board for special purposes or routes such as heavy/bulky cargo
ships. These ships are also called special-purpose ships. The second trend is Ro-
Ro(roll on roll off) ships, in which bow and stern doors and adjustable steel ramps
permit vehicles to drive on board and drive off again, requiring only minimum
dock-side facilities. The third trend is the container ship. According to the cargo
handling method used dry cargo ships may also be divided into: LO-LO (lift-on/lift
off), RO-RO (roll on/roll off), FO-FO (float on/float off) – e.g. barges. But there
are also hybrid vessels where combinations of the above mentioned methods are
used, such as LO-LO/RO-RO, RO-RO/FO-FO, and other.

Variant VII

Task 1. Read the text and answer the questions


The Engineering Watch Officer’s position is usually held by the Third or
Forth Engineer and it is an operational level job. The Third Engineer is
usually responsible for the boilers, fuel, the auxiliary engines, condensate
and feed systems. The Fourth Engineer is the most inexperienced officer,
who performs duties assigned by the Second Engineer, and some of his
responsibilities are: engineering watch, air compressors, purifiers and
some other auxiliary machinery.
The Oiler or Wiper on board is the rating in charge of cleaning the engine
spaces, machinery, lubricating bearings and other moving parts of the
engine and assisting the engineer officers in the general maintenance of
the machinery in order to ensure the oil temperature is within standards
and oil gauges are working properly.
An oiler (also known as a "greaser") is a worker whose main job is to oil
machinery. In previous eras there were oiler positions in various
industries, including maritime work (naval and commercial), railroading,
steelmaking, and mining. Today most such positions have been eliminated
through technological change; lubrication tends to require less human
intervention, so that workers seldom have oiling as a principal duty. In
the days of ubiquitous (повсеместный) plain bearings, oiling was often a
job description in and of itself.
Today, shipping is the economic segment that most thoroughly retains the
notion of the oiler as a separate position. On a merchant ship, an oiler is
an unlicensed member of the engineering department. The position is one
of the most junior crew members in the engine room of a ship. The oiler
is senior only to a wiper.
As a member of the engineering department, the oiler operates and
maintains the propulsion and other systems on board the vessel. Oilers
also deal with the "hotel" facilities on board, notably the sewage,
lighting, air conditioning, and water systems. They assist bulk fuel
transfers and require training in firefighting and first aid. Moreover, oilers
help facilitate operation of the ship's boats and other nautical tasks -
especially with cargo loading/discharging gear and safety systems.
However, the specific cargo discharge function remains the responsibility
of deck officers and deck workers. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

2) What machinery is in charge of the Fourth Engineer?
3) What is the main job of an oiler?

Task 7. Read the text and translate it into Ukrainian or Russian and ask as many
different questions to the text as you can ( at least 5)

Wet cargoes, which include such cargoes as vegetable oil and wine, are carried
in drums and barrels. There is always the possibility of leakage, therefore they
must not be stowed on trip of other cargoes.
Dry cargoes cannot possibly leak, but they can be damaged by leakage from
wet ' cargoes, therefore they must be stowed away from'them. Flour, animal feed
and rice, which are carried in bags, are examples of dry cargoes.
Cargoes which leave a residue behind them are known as dirty cargoes.
Because the dust from cement and fertilizers can damage other cargoes, holds
must be‘ cleaned out carefully after them.
Odorous cargoes, which include rubber and wool, give off fumes. These fumes
can damage delicate cargoes, therefore they must be stowed separately.
Heavy cargoes must he given bottom stowage, because they will break more
fragile cargoes. When very heavy items are carried in ships, they should be
stowed over bulkheads, as they might damage the deck plating.
Cargoes which are combustible, toxic or liable to explode are classified as
dangerous cargoes. Because they are a risk to human life and the safety of the
ship, they are subject to strict laws.
Perishable food is usually carried in refrigerated ships, however, some general
cargo vessels have refrigerated holds. Meat and fish are often frozen solid, but
fruit and vegetables are only chilled.
