ENGINE OF A
VESSEL
 The Engine of a
Vessel
The engine room of a
vessel typically contains
several engines for
different purposes. Main
engine, or propulsion
engine are used to burn
the ship’s propeller and
move the ship through
the water.
 They typically burn
diesel oil or heavy fuel
oil, and may be able to
switch between the
two. There are many
propulsion
arrangements for
motor vessels, some
including multiple
engines, propellers,
and gearboxes.
 Parts in Ship Engine
• Engine block
• Two stroke engine
• Four Stroke engine
• Crank Shaft
• Connecting Rod
• Main bearing&Big end bearing
• Piston
• Piston Rings
 Engine block

An engine block is the structure

which contains the cylinders, and
other parts of an internal
combustion engine. In early
automotive engine, the engine
block consisted of just the
cylinder block, to which a
separate crankcase was attached.
Two- Stroke Engine

A two-stroke engine(or
two-cycle) engine is a
type of internal
combustion engine which
completes a power cycle
with two strokes(up and
down movements) of the
piston during only one
crankshaft revolution.
 Four Stroke engine

A four-cycle engine works

with 4 basic steps to a
successful rotation of the
crankshaft: the intake,
compression, power, and
exhaust stroke. Each
engine cylinder has four
openings for the intake,
exhaust, spark plug and
fuel injection.
 The piston is driven by
the engine’s crankshaft
whereas the intake and
exhaust valves are driven
by the camshaft. The
crankshaft and camshaft
are connected by a timing
belt/ chain to maintain
synchronization between
them.
 Crankshaft

A crankshaft is a rotating shaft

which( in conjuction with the
connecting rods) convert
reciprocating motion of the
positions into rotational
motion. Crankshaft are
commonly used in internal
combustion engines and
consist of a series of cranks
and crankpins to which the
connecting rods are attached.
 Connecting Rod

A connecting Rod, also called a

con rod, is the part of a piston
engine which connects the
piston to the crankshaft.
Together with the crank, the
connecting rod converts the
reciprocating motion of the
piston into the rotation of the
crankshaft.
 Main bearing & Big end
Bearing

The main bearings are the

bearings which hold the
crankshaft in place and allow it
to rotate within the engine
block.
Main bearings are usually plain
bearings or journal bearings,
held in place by the engine
blocks and bearing cups.
 The number of main
bearings per engine varies
between engines, often in
accordance with the forces
produced by the operation
of the engine.
The big ends, are the ends
of the piston rods in your
engine that are attached to
the crankshaft by powerful
bolts, in the big ends are
contained the bearing
shells.
 Piston
A piston is a cylindrical engine
component that slides back and
forth in the cylinder bore by
forces produced during the
combustion process. The piston
acts as a movable end of the
combustion chamber. The
stationary end of the
combustion chamber is the
cylinder head.
 Piston Ring

A piston ring is a metallic split

ring that is attached to the
outer diameter of a piston in an
internal combustion engine or
steam engine. The main
functions of piston rings in
engines are: Sealing the
combustion chamber so that
there is minimal loss of gases
to the crank case.

 Crews in the Engine of
Vessel

Each crew member carries out his

rank duties in order to keep the
vessel operations running safely
and smoothly. The engine crew is
responsible with operating,
maintaining and repairing when
required, the propulsion and
support system.
Duties of Every Crew in
the Engine of a vessel
(Licensed Officers)
