This industrial training report represents the engineering training experience gathered by myself
during the industrial training at marine engineering department (boats electrical maintained sec-
tion) Pakistan navy as On the Job Trainee High Skilled Grade-I (Electrical) at marine engineer-
ing department.

The aim of the training was to get technical experience in the field of electrical technology af-
ter the completion of three years of academic studies as a student of Bachelors of electrical
Engineering Technology, Faculty of Engineering & Technology at Nazeer Hussain University,
Karachi. This report has been prepared as a part of completion of the industrial training ac-
cording to the regulations of National Technologists Council (NTC) & Higher Education
Commission (HEC) of Pakistan.

During my training, I worked in the Boats Electrical Maintenance Section, where I learned
about the maintenance and servicing of electrical systems on naval boats. Under the guidance
of experienced electrical technicians, I participated in troubleshooting electrical faults, con-
ducting routine maintenance, and assisting in the installation of electrical equipment.

The training provided me with valuable hands-on experience in marine electrical maintenance
and allowed me to apply my academic knowledge in a real-world setting. I also developed
teamwork and communication skills while working with a diverse group of professionals.

Throughout 32 weeks from 12-Srptember-2022 to 02-June-2023 in PAKISTAN NAVY, I got

the opportunity to learn new things and hands on experience while applying the knowledge I
have gained throughout the six semesters. The document mainly consists of three chapters as
the introduction about the training establishment, my overall training experience and the con-
clusionon the training.

 12. Problems & Challenges

During the industrial training at the Marine Engineering Department, specifically in the Boats
Electrical Maintenance Section of the Pakistan Navy, as a Job Trainee HSG-I (Higher Skilled
Grade-I), I encountered various problems and faced specific challenges.

 Faced problem related to the power steering motor. This required a thorough understanding
of electrical systems, motor control circuits, and hydraulic systems. However, I faced diffi-
culties in identifying and resolving the specific problems that were affecting the power
steering motor's performance. Due to this fault boat is non ops

 During my training, I encountered a significant issue with the boat navigation lights panel,
which was not functioning as intended. As a Job Trainee HSG-I, I was tasked with assisting in
the maintenance and repair of electrical systems on naval boats. The malfunctioning navigation
lights panel presented a unique challenge that required immediate attention and resolution.

 As a trainee, I faced several challenges during the new wiring installation process at old
pipes. The complexity of naval boat electrical systems, limited workspace, and strict adher-
ence to safety regulations added to the difficulty of the task. Moreover, working in a mari-
time environment presented unique challenges, such as dealing with space constraints, expo-
sure to corrosive elements, and ensuring waterproofing of connections.

 I faced the big challenge for boat shift position motor has not been working.it was a very se-
rious problem. Boat stuck in one position management declared boat is non ops immediate
action required.

19 | P a g e
 13. Problem Solving Approach

All above mentioned problems and challenges can be solved by setting priorities and timely ef-
fective communication among relevant interfaces. I developed and implemented a systematic
approach to troubleshoot issues and find effective solutions, ensuring the operational readiness
of naval boats.

 A visual inspection of the power steering motor and associated components. Check for any
visible damage, loose connections, or signs of overheating. There is no visible damage found
of this motor check the voltage at motor terminal 12 VDC available but motor not working
at the end motor dismantled to the boat and check the motor carbon. carbon stucked of this
motor so change the carbon of this motor then re-installed the motor connect the power sup-
ply and hydraulic pipes of the motor then switch on motor working properly problem has
been resolved.

 Faced so many troubled to resolved this issue suddenly boats navigation light is off first
checked the switch panel of this lights switch is on then check the voltage of lights terminal
supply is not available. Checked the voltage of navigation lights terminal supply not reached
at switch then is confirmed fault from the navigation lights control box. This box installed in
boat tank room at confined space on the box and check the supply across all fuses the navi-
gation light fuse is damage due to losing fuse body changed the fuse with body issue has
been resolved lights working properly.

20 | P a g e
 The installation process of new wiring at old pipes on naval boats. The following steps out-
line the procedure followed during the installation all necessary tools, equipment, and mate-
rials were gathered to facilitate the installation process. The old pipes were cleaned and
cleared of any debris or obstructions that could impede the installation. The new wiring was
carefully routed through the old pipes, taking into consideration the boat's layout and electri-
cal system requirements. Proper cable management techniques were employed to prevent
any strain, bending, or damage to the wiring during installation. Cable ties, clips, or other
suitable fasteners were used to secure the wiring along its path and prevent it from coming
loose or interfering with other boat components. Install new connectors and junction boxes
as required, following industry standards and electrical codes. Once the installation is com-
pleted, conduct a visual inspection to check for any loose connections, damaged insulation,
or other potential issues. DC cables use for wiring pure copper American standard cable.
Following equipment install at boat. Two working lights, 2 two navigation lights, 1 anchor
light, 1 GPS every equipment have 12 VDC supply.

 Under the guidance of experienced technicians, I embarked on this task with great enthusi-
asm and eagerness to learn. I familiarized myself with the necessary tools, equipment, and
safety protocols associated with the replacement process. I was also provided with detailed
instructions and technical documentation to ensure a systematic approach to the task. Sensor
assembly nut bolt not accessible so many spares dismantled just like intake cover, butterfly
valve, wiring harness, fuel pump, then reached the sensor position. The shift position sensor
replacement involved several key steps, including identifying the location of the sensor, dis-
connecting the electrical connections, removing the old sensor, and installing the new sen-
sor. I meticulously followed the instructions provided, ensuring proper handling of the sensi-
tive electrical components and adhering to the prescribed safety measures.
