Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether machinery required for safe navigation is tested at the correct voyage stages, defects are acted upon and bridge and engine records agree.
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether scheduled rounds on a manned machinery space detect leakage, abnormal temperature, vibration, sound, level and operating trends before they become failures.
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether pre-UMS and periodic rounds establish a safe unattended condition, and whether alarms, call systems and entries support effective monitoring while the machinery…
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether engineers can transfer propulsion and essential auxiliaries from remote to local control, communicate with the bridge and operate safely after control-system failure.
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether the emergency generator can start from a blackout condition, connect to the emergency switchboard, carry required services and be started by the…
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether emergency batteries, chargers and distribution arrangements can supply their assigned statutory loads for the required duration and remain safe from deterioration, leakage…
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether the fitted EGCS is approved, monitored, calibrated and operated within MARPOL and local discharge restrictions, with failures and residues controlled transparently.
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether seawater systems remain structurally sound and properly maintained, without temporary repairs or deterioration capable of flooding the machinery space or disabling essential…
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether bilge and flooding detectors in machinery, steering, forecastle and other required spaces activate at the correct level and transmit alarms to the…
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether the independent emergency air compressor and reservoir can restore starting-air capability after loss of the normal system and are maintained ready for…
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether suitable electrical insulation protects personnel at the front and rear of switchboards and remains correctly positioned, dry and undamaged.
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether engineers understand insulation-monitoring settings, recognise earth faults promptly and prevent a first fault from remaining until a second fault causes shock, fire…
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether entry into an unattended machinery space is communicated, monitored and protected so an injured or incapacitated person is detected promptly.
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether the engineers' alarm summons adequate engineering assistance, reaches the correct accommodation and public spaces and is tested with reliable records.
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether machinery alarms provide prompt, identifiable warning at the control position, duty engineer and bridge where required, without uncontrolled inhibition or chronic nuisance…
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether watertight doors retain structural and operational integrity, can be closed locally and remotely as approved, and are not obstructed, lashed or misused.
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether oxygen and fuel-gas equipment is compatible, leak-free, protected against flashback and stored so a cylinder fire or leak does not escalate into…
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether electric welding is conducted with sound equipment, correct return-current arrangements, effective isolation and precautions that prevent shock, fire and stray-current damage.
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether the PMS reflects actual equipment, statutory and maker requirements, records truthful completion and controls overdue work, defects, critical spares and shore-authorised postponements.
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether representative samples are taken at defined intervals, laboratory trends are interpreted against machinery condition and abnormal results produce timely operational and maintenance…
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether bunkering is planned from required quantity to final reconciliation, with tank capacity, transfer rate, communication, pollution prevention, emergency shutdown and watchkeeping controlled…
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether representative fuel samples are obtained and controlled correctly, statutory and commercial samples remain traceable, and laboratory results are reviewed before the fuel…
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether changeovers are calculated and executed early enough to meet sulphur limits without thermal shock, viscosity loss, leakage, loss of propulsion or inaccurate…
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether the fixed water-spray system protects exposed LNG fuel tanks and adjacent boundaries, and whether crew can start, isolate and verify it during…
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether ship and bunker-source ESD functions, communications and shutdown links stop transfer and isolate fuel safely when a hazardous condition occurs.
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether a low-flashpoint-fuel transfer is supported by compatibility assessment, simultaneous-operations control, exclusion zones, purging, gas detection, ESD testing and trained personnel.
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether the bunkering control position and manifold provide safe monitoring, communication, gas and fire detection, spill protection, remote isolation and escape during low-flashpoint-fuel…
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether remote fuel and lubricating-oil isolation and pump shutdowns can remove the source of a machinery-space fire, and whether crew know the correct…
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether hot surfaces are insulated below ignition-risk temperatures and flammable-oil systems are shielded, jacketed and maintained so a leak cannot produce an engine-room…
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether the approved crankcase explosion warning arrangement is operational, correctly tested and maintained, and whether engineers understand the immediate response without opening a…
Open preparation guide →The inspector is checking whether high-pressure hydraulic units inside the main machinery space are screened, contained and protected so a pinhole leak cannot atomise oil onto an…
