Oil-mist and bearing-temperature protection

RISQ 13.21Section 13 · Machinery SpaceSource marking: V

Applicability: Apply to the vessel’s machinery, certification and operating arrangements; retain the equipment-specific conditions in each question.

What is being checked

Fitted protection is tested and engineers know the emergency response.

Ready on board

0 / 3 checked

Check the vessel’s actual procedures, equipment and records against these points from RISQ 3.2.

Practice questions

Preparation prompts derived from this entry, not an official inspector interview script.

1Is a vessel without UMS exempt from maintaining fitted detectors?

No. The source expressly requires fitted devices to be maintained regardless of UMS notation.

Where a finding may arise

Missing evidence, defects or gaps in familiarity against these checks may prevent a satisfactory answer. These are derived preparation concerns, not additional explicit finding criteria or reported past observations.

Past observations for practice

Anonymised reports, manually reviewed before publication. These are reported experiences, not additional inspection requirements.

No reviewed observations have been added for this entry.

Share an observation for private review

Remove vessel, company and inspector names, report numbers, exact dates and confidential information. Do not paste a complete inspection report.

Source clarification

The source inconsistently labels the 2024 guide edition. Verify the referenced C6 checklist; no crankcase-opening or emergency operating procedure is invented.
