To become a crewmember all candidates must prove their fitness for work at sea. For this purpose, they are submitted to physical examination by special doctors before employment. The ships personnel must operate the vessel in accordance with established standards. Any crewmember that violates the regulations is unqualified for his assignment or fails to meet minimum standards will be dismissed from/ be signed off
the vessel. The day at sea is divided into watches of four hours. Now the most often used system of ships organization is the four and eight system that means four hours on watch and eight hours off watch.

The engine department of a merchant ship is headed by the chief engineer. On different types and size of the ship the engine department personnel may include different number of certified engineer officers. One can find on board ship the following engineers named by their functioning: maintenance-mechanical engineer ( ), mechanical engineer ( ), refrigeration engineer and electronic or electrical engineers and some others. The ratings (that are non-officers) included on the staff of the engine department are most often named by their function as follows: electrician, fitter, motormen (oiler and wiper) and welder. In order to be included on the staff as rating, a candidate must hold the appropriate maritime qualification certificate and some additional certificates by the SOLAS and STCW conventions. These required certificates are the following: Second/First-Class Motorman Certificate; Welder/Fitter certificate; An integrated certificate attesting of complex training received in personal survival techniques, fire prevention, fire fighting, elementary first-aid and personal safety; Certificate of Proficiency in Survival Craft ( ); Oil Tanker familiarization Certificate, etc. Motormen and oilers usually keep engineering watches when there is an attended or manned engine room. Other ratings work a day shift. The chief engineer subordinates only to the Master and is responsible for the ship's main propulsion system. He is in charge of the engine department. 2 nd and 3rd engineers supervise the engine room watches. Like deck officers, they must be licensed. Because of the large degree of automation in the engine rooms of modern ships, very few crewmen are required for engine-room maintenance. The principal duties of the engine department ratings are to assist the engineer officers in safe and efficient operation and maintenance of the ships piping systems, machinery and equipment.

Exercise 3. Give brief answers to the following questions: 1. What will happen to a crewmember that fails to meet the minimum standards? 2. What does the expression four and eight system of watchkeeping mean? 3. How do future crewmembers prove their fitness for work at sea? 4. What is the duty often performed while watchkeeping? 5. What are the certificates that a candidate should have? 6. Who is the superior of the chief engineer? 7. What is the purpose of a sea training of engine cadet? 8. What are the duties of second engineer? 9. Who is the head of the engine department? 10. How many engineers can be in the engine department? Exercise 4.

Translate one of the texts into Russian. Unknown words should be written down to your vocabulary of this lesson. Wiper Wipers or engine utilitymen are low-qualification motormen. They work a day shift and are responsible for the general maintenance of the machinery spaces. Wipers shall give particular attention to the areas where access is difficult. Floor plates, ladder treads and handrails must not be cleaned with oil or solutions containing oil. They must be kept free from oil, grease or other material, which would make them slippery. The machine shop and storerooms shall be kept clean, neat and orderly. Loose equipment and gear shall be properly stowed and secured to prevent injury or damage in a seaway. Although a wiper is normally a day worker, in emergencies he may be assigned to a watch. Under the direction of an engineer wipers assist with engine department maintenance and repair. They must observe all safety precautions as directed by the supervisors.

10

Oiler Oilers are watchkeeping motormen. An oiler on watch is required to make a round of inspection of the engine room, boiler room and steering engine-room, twice each hour. When making these inspections, particular attention shall be given to lube oil levels, temperatures, pressure gauge, readings and bearing temperatures of all operating/running machinery including the main engine(s). The water levels in the boilers shall be under constant observation. When fresh water is being taken on board an oiler may be required to make accurate soundings of all the tanks. The oilers change over and clean the lube oil strainers in each port when a vessel is operating coastwise, on long off-shore voyages this operation is done weekly. All precautions must be taken to prevent loss of lube oil pump suction during this procedure. If an oiler finds metal flakes in the strainer, indicating wear, he must report this fact to the watch engineer. Exercise 9.

Exercise 2. Read and translate the text. Alarms/Emergencies Essentials for Engine Department For effective usage of the limited emergency equipment available on board, all personnel must be aware of the location of fire-fighting equipment and life-saving appliances and be trained in their use. They must also be aware of the alarm signals, recognize them, and muster at the muster point in case of any type of emergency. As you know all the alarms should be well heard in the engine room. It should be remembered that the general alarm will be sounded in the event of fire, collision,

13

grounding, cargo hose burst, major leakage or spillage of oil cargo and some other events. Other alarms could include engineer alarm for unmanned machinery spaces, carbon dioxide alarm, fire detector alarms, cargo tank level alarms and refrigerated store alarm But if your ship's alarms are ringing, often it does not mean that the situation is out of control. Alarms are warnings, which are sounded so that crew onboard take the emergency measures like wearing their life jackets, or gathering at a common point (muster station), depending upon the type of emergency and instructions given to them. There are four emergency teams on a board to handle with any emergency after hearing the certain alarm. The command center or roving commission is located on bridge. The emergency team 1 is tackling with the emergency. In general the chief officer will lead the team for the emergency on deck while the 2nd engineer will take charge of engine room emergencies. The Support/Standby Team or emergency team 2 is to provide first aid and prepare the lifeboats for lowering. The Technical/Engineer's Team or engine room control (ERC) team maintains the propulsion and maneuvering capability of the ship and auxiliary services. Engine room flooding and engine room fire are two main emergencies on ships. When engine room floods, the propulsion will stop automatically if left unnoticed. In the unmanned machinery spaces (UMS) it is important that the bilges and all alarm systems must function properly to give warnings when such emergencies happen. A ship floats on water surrounded by the sea on all sides. The engine room will usually be under the surface of the water, for example, on a ULCC or VLCC ship, the bottom platform of the ER is almost 10 to 15 metres below the water line. The main sea water line covers almost all parts of the engine room. This is a huge diameter pipe running forward and aft of the ship. The engine room is totally restricted from open atmosphere, so no water can go out except the normally designed piping system. It is not possible to throw/pump out anything from engine room as it may violate the Marpol rules and regulations. Thus engine room flooding is so dangerous; it may even hamper the safety of the ship. Because of the large quantities of fuel in engine rooms there is a risk of quick fire spread over the whole area. Engine room fires can also produce failures of operationally important systems away from the engine room. That can endanger crew even at some distance from the seat of the fire. Except the machinery control room there are in general no permanent fire boundaries within the machinery area. Exercise 3. Give brief answers to the following questions: 1. What are the reasons to give a general alarm? 2. How many groups are on a board to tackle with ships emergency? 3. What are the main emergencies that can happen in the engine room? 4. What does UMS mean? 5. How can any crewmember find out about his emergency duties? 6. Why is it dangerous to neglect the leakages in the

14

engine room? 7. What can you say about the safety rules for the engine department staff? 8. What actions should you carry out after the general alarm? 9. Why is a fire in the ER so dangerous?

Exercise 8. Read the texts and answer the following questions. What is the main problem of the former/later text? What are the main reasons of the emergency described in the former/later text? What are the actions of the crew in case of the emergency mentioned in the former/later text? Engine Room Fires Special regulations regarding structural fire protection apply to fuel-transporting systems. There is a fixed fire fighting installation. In part-time unmanned engine rooms there are fixed fire alarm systems. Every fire in the machinery area brings with it the risk of expansion into a large fire. It is essential to order immediate closing-down of the area and interruption of the fuel supply, provided the navigational situation permits this. All valves of oil tanks and fire dampers in engine room may be shut off from the control box for emergency shut in ER. To fight the fire the fixed fire fighting installations are used. If a fire is found on board it must be extinguished immediately with the available equipment, and the fire alarm must be given. When the alarm sounds the ships officers and crew should immediately follow the standing instructions laid down in the ships fire plan. Engine Room Flooding The engine room flooding can take place due to mainly two reasons such as leakage from equipment or system and crack or hole in the ships hull because of the collision, for example. Leakage in the engine room space from machinery or sea/fresh water system can be caused by the failure or cracks in a sea water pump. Sometimes water comes from sea water or fresh water cooler and from boiler feed water system. Speaking about actions to be taken in such situations it should be mentioned that the sooner fault will be found, the better the crew will tackle with an emergency. The defected equipment is to be isolated and other circulating system has to be started. Then the engineer on watch informs chief engineer regarding the leak and follows the instruction from him.

17

If the engine room flooding arises due to crack in the hull or small hole in the hull, the engine room staff should perform the following actions. At first the size of the leakage should be detected. By all means, the leakage has to be minimized and finally stopped. If the leak is not big enough, then cement box is to be put in place of the leak and repairs are to be done accordingly. Otherwise, the captain has to decide whether the ship is safe place to stay or not and decision for abandoning the ship has to be made. In case of abandon ship signal being announced, the engine room staff should muster to their respective lifeboat and abandon ship operation should be carried out. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. regarding closing-down to permit damper control box standing instructions to lay down feed water to arise , ; ; ( ) ,

Exercise 9. Translate the sentences into Russian. 1. Leakage of any ballast water tank in the double bottom of the engine room, leakage from manhole, or crack in the water tank can also lead to engine room flooding. 2. Grounding of ship in shallow areas may cause buckling (, ) in the engine room area where sea water starts to enter the engine room directly or indirectly, it may happen when hull gets ruptured in the way of bilge tank or any other tank causing it to overflow. 3. Collision of the ship with other ship or with berths/jetty in the way of engine room may cause flooding. 4. If the sounding pipe is not of self-closing or the cap is left open, and that particular tank gets filled up and left unnoticed, may lead to flooding of engine room. 5. All members of the technical staff must know all the ship emergency codes in detail, Mr. Skylight, Mr. Mob, Code Blue, and Oscar are some of the ship emergency codes followed by mariners. 6. While ER flooding at sea, it may require shutting down the plant, stopping engines and start emergency generator, shutting the main sea suction valve, to carry out repair works. 7. All members of the crew should receive appropriate training in accordance with their role at the time of emergency.

Exercise 2. Read and translate the text. Fire Emergency Accidents can be caused by carelessness, by inappropriate personal protective equipment or by inexpert handling of appliances and also some dangers that cann ot
be eliminated, e.g. list, low visibility caused by fog etc. Any fire which breaks out in spite of all the precautions remains restricted to its originating area. Experience teaches that a large fire on board can no longer be extinguished with the means available on board.

Because of the large size of the cargo holds that often contain large amount of combustible substances the restriction of fire is not always possible. If the cargo

hold transverse bulkheads are not constructed as fire boundarie s,

adjacent compartments cannot be ruled out.

spread of the fire to

Fixed fire alarms permit early recognition of an outbreak of fire. Closures for loading hatches, accesses, ventilation inlets and outlets permit prevention of the ingress () of atmospheric oxygen. Fixed fire fighting installations allow the fire to be restricted to the cargo hold in which it broke out. The work of emergency squad often does not make sense as the seat of the fire is not free accessible. Spread of the fire is made more difficult or prevented by watercooling the closures, transverse bulkheads and decks. Fire in the accommodation area occurs not very often, but it is possible because of the fires in the machinery area. Fire risks arise there due to inadequate care and maintenance of the machinery installation and its auxiliaries. Work with fire, like welding, burning or forging may only be carried out by experts specially trained and tested for this. There must be a fire watch on the spot. All the fire-fighting systems and equipment should be in good operating condition ready for immediate use. The deck department is responsible for all portable firefighting equipment, while the engine department takes care of all fixed fire-fighting systems. The Muster list includes all information about the duties and actions in emergencies of any crewmember. Fire drills are held weekly or monthly depending on the ships type and companys safety policy. Exercise 3. Give brief answers to the following questions: 1. What are fire prevention measures? 2. When is it possible to use fire-fighting installations effectively? 3. When is it impossible to use only the means available on board? 4. How can fire be restricted to the area in which it broke out? 5. What is to be done when the work of fire squads is not possible? 6. Why are fire risks in the machinery area greater than anywhere else? 7. What would increase the danger of the fire
growing into a large one? 8. How can the spread of fire be restricted? 9. What are the causes of many shipboard fires? 10. Who is responsible for refilling fire extinguishers? 11. When are fire drills carried out? 12. Where should a joining ship crewmember find out all about fire emergency?

Exercise 8. Be ready to discuss the following texts according to the given points: the main sense of the text the structure of the text the possible questions to the main parts of the text Fire Detection and Extinction A fire detection system is designed to detect immediately a fire, give early warning of the situation and so provide the crew with the best possible chance to control and extinguish a fire before it can damage property (), a ship and lives. The system has a central control and monitoring panel, heat, smoke and flame detectors, and alarm sounders. Fixed water fire extinguishing systems are the most popular ones. Water is cheap for fire-fighting and has a large capacity to absorb heat. Water systems are simple to install and maintain. For example, automatic sprinkler systems detect, control and extinguish a fire in its early stages. To protect large high risk areas such as machinery spaces and cargo holds fixed gas fire extinguishing systems are used. Fixed low and high expansion foam systems are permitted in machinery spaces and fixed low expansion systems are required on cargo tank decks of tankers. Vessels carrying liquefied gases must be provided with a dry chemical powder system for the fire protection of the cargo deck area and any bow and stern loading areas. It must be possible to deliver powder to any part of the cargo deck from at least two monitors and/or hand held hose. An inert gas, usually nitrogen, stored in pressurized cylinders located near the powder storage is used to start the system.

1. Chapter II-2 of Solas concerns fire protection, fire detection and fire extinction. It is divided into four parts: A general, B fire safety measures for passenger ships, C fire safety measures for cargo ships and D just the same for tankers. 2. Smoking should be avoided at the workplace even if there is no smoking ban, besides open containers with combustible substances should be kept as far as possible. 3. When welding one should have at hand suitable extinction materials and appliances, and in enclosed spaces effective ventilation should be ensured. 4. Ashtrays of non-combustible material must be emptied at regular intervals and should be fixed preventing their slipping and tipping over, lighted cigarette ends are never thrown over the side, because they can be carried inboard again and start fires. 5. Coffee machines and other small electrical appliances are a particular source of danger if after use they are not switched off and the plug pulled out of the socket, thats why electric irons, portable heaters and other appliances may after use be laid down only on any non-combustible surfaces. 6. The extinguishers, their type and size should be shown on the fire plan of the ship, while the number of them depends on the type of vessel and the risk of fire. At least one extinguisher should be provided in accommodation, machinery and service spaces and control stations. 7. An extinguisher is activated by removing the safety pin and pressing the control lever, it should be held in front of the body and while coming to the fire it should be kept as low as possible. 8. Not less than five plus one spare fire hoses stored in dry and well-ventilated conditions should be tested according to the instructions. After contact with oils and grease and after use with foam hoses should be washed, blown through, drained and wiped down before stowing. 9. As water fire extinguishers are cleaner than other extinguishing agents, they are a good choice for assisting in the emergency, for example, a powder extinguishing agent could enter the eyes of the user. But water conducts electricity and thereby presents a risk of electrocution to the user. 10. CO2 fire extinguishers work by displacing oxygen at the source of the fire with an inert gas. They also have some cooling properties. Exercise 10. Translate the sentences into English. 1. , , , . 2. , , , . 3. , . 4. - , .

Exercise 2. Read and translate the text, paying attention to the words in italics. Classification of Cargo Ships Cargo ships, or freighters, can be divided into four groups, according to the kind of cargo they carry. These groups are (1) general cargo ships, (2) tankers, (3) dry bulk carriers, and (4) multipurpose ships. General cargo ships, carry what are called "packaged" items - goods that are put in packages or that form a package in themselves. Packaged items include such products as chemicals, foods, furniture, machinery, motor vehicles, shoes, steel, textiles, and whiskey. The traditional cargo

29

ships include container ships, roll-on/roll-off ships, and LASH ships. LASH ships are huge freighters that carry preloaded seagoing lighters (barges) stacked one upon the other. The term LASH stands for Lighter Aboard Ship. LASH ships can hold from 70 to 90 barges, each of which can carry 370 tons (336 metric tons) of cargo. Tankers carry oil or other liquid cargo. Dry bulk carriers haul coal, grain, iron ore, and similar products that can be loaded in bulk (loose) on the vessels. Multipurpose ships carry different classes of cargo - for example, liquid and general cargo - at the same time. Cargo ships can also be divided into two types according to the service they offer shippers liner service or tramp service. Cargo liners run on fixed schedules along certain trade routes and charge published rates. They usually transport only general cargo. Some cargo liners also carry passengers. Those that carry more than 12 passengers are called combination or passenger-cargo ships. Tramp ships do not sail on regular trade routes or have regular schedules. They can be hired to haul almost anything, anywhere, anytime. Tramps can be classed as deep-sea or short-sea tramps. Some of them are classed as coasters. They ply on coastal routes and up rivers to inland ports. Small shipping companies and private individuals operate these ships. Exercise 3. Give brief answers to the following questions: 1. What are the main types of cargo ships? 2. What are tankers used for? 3. What are general cargo ship? 4. What are multipurpose ships used for? 5. What are tramp ships? 6. What is the difference between cargo liners and tramps? 7. What types of tramps do you know? 8. How is containerised cargo loaded and unloaded? 9. What are some advantages of containerisation? 10. What ships do we call Ro-Ro ships? 11. What does the word LASH stand for? What are LASH ships used for? 12. What are dry bulk cargo carriers used for? Exercise 4. Give equivalents: in Russian: to haul, fixed routes, packaged items, refrigerated goods, bulk cargo, to be designed, lighters, stern opening, reefer, tug, bulky cargo ship, gantry cranes, cell, containerized goods, bulky cargo, shipper, to stack, tramp service, derelicts and wrecks, to submerge, cargo handling gear, perishable goods, the main feature, to tow, to be hoisted, lorries or trailers, to be fitted;

Exercise 6. Read the dialogue and then make up your own one. A: Whats that ship with the superstructure right forward and a couple of gantry cranes? B: Shes one of LASH ships. They pick up fully loaded barges and stow them in layers in the hold. Then when they get to their destination they launch the barges over the stern and tugs take them in tow. That way LASH ships can load and discharge very quickly. Its like a bigger version of container ships. A: I see. Exercise 7. Is this information true or false? 1. A tramp is not allowed to carry passengers. 2. Freighters that carry cargoes according to schedules that are not fixed are called liners. 3. General cargo is cargo that has been packed in crates or bags. 4. Lash-vessels usually carry lighters. 5. Perishable cargoes are oil, liquid gas and timber. 6. Dry bulk cargoes are loaded and discharged by derricks. 7. Merchant ships are designed to carry cargo and/or passengers. 8. There is no cargo handling equipment on Ro/Ro. 9. A coasters engine room is situated fore. 10. Heavy load vessel is designed to carry bulk containers.

Exercise 8. Match the term with its definition. Term Definition

1. Container a. somewhat like small bulk carriers. These box-like vessels haul ship such cargoes as cement, coal, grain, gravel, and sand across harbours, on canals and rivers, and along coasts. Modern barges have diesel motors or are pushed or towed by tugs. The size of a canal or river barge is limited by the waterway on which it operates. The barge must be short enough to make the curves in the waterway and narrow enough to pass through canals. Barges that operate in coastal waters can be practically any size. 2. Dry bulk b. has been designed to lift and carry extremely heavy cargo on carrier the main deck. Their cargoes such as drilling platforms, engines, trains, derelicts and wrecks are loaded onto the main deck that is free from any obstacles. 3. Barges c. were among the first ships designed to carry only one kind of cargo - petroleum. 4. d. eliminates the individual hatches, holds, and derricks of the Multipurpose traditional general cargo vessel. The hull of this ship is simply an ships enormous warehouse divided into cells by vertical guide rails. The cells are designed to hold cargo in prepackaged units called containers. The ship does not need a large gang of workers spending hours to fit various items into different holds. Giant cranes pick up the containers, swing them over the ship, and then lower them one upon the other into the cells. After the hold has been loaded, additional containers are stacked on the deck. 5. Tankers e. are designed to haul several kinds of cargo at the same time. They can have refrigerated space for foods that spoil easily, tank space for liquid cargo, and a deck for automobiles, etc. 6.Coasters f. carries perishable cargoes, such as fruit and meat. These cargoes require cooling and must be stored in spaces that have precise temperature- and humidity controls during the voyage. 7. Heavy-load g. are the vessels that can be easily recognized by their tall vessel derricks designed to lift a raw material from which wood-products are manufactured. 8. Timber h. take containers mounted on a framework of wheels like a truck carriers trailer. These ships have a stern opening and side openings. These ships also carry cars, buses, house trailers, trucks, and any other cargo that can be rolled aboard. 9 Reefer or i. carry cargo along the coast or on sea voyages. These ships are of

32

refrigeratedcargo vessel

limited length and tonnage. Often there are no tween decks and the cargo spaces have no obstacles, so that a variety of cargo can be handled. The ships engine room is situated aft. 10.Rollk. transport fertilizer, grain, ore, salt, sugar, or any other cargo that on/roll-off can be piled loose into a hold. Like tankers, these vessels were ships, also designed to carry only one kind of cargo. But unlike tankers, the known as ro-ro ore carriers hauled solid cargo. As a result, they required more ships complicated loading and unloading arrangements than tankers, which needed little more than hose connections and pumps. Exercise 9. Choose the right variant. 1. is a container that floats in the water. a) lighter b) crate c) box d) bag

2. Cargo is loaded and discharged by the vessels on general cargo ships. a) pumps b) gantry cranes c) trailers d) derricks 3. The loaded vehicles are driven aboard via a) a hold b) a ramp room 4. Reefers are equipped with a) tween deck b) double bottom c) a compartment d) an engine

Exercise 2. Read and translate the text, paying attention to the words in italics. Safety Precautions Engine rooms are hot, noisy, sometimes dirty and potentially dangerous. The presence of flammable fuel, high voltage (HV) electrical equipment and internal combustion engines (ICE) means that a serious fire hazard exists in the engine room, which is monitored continuously by the engine department and various monitoring systems. Engineers and motormen should wear safety clothing and in the engine room. They wear boiler suit, safety shoes, safety helmet, gloves and ear-muffs In a ships engine room, where the maximum machines are located, crew carry out the maintenance for safe and efficient operation. Each machine on board a ship requires maintenance which has to be carried out at regular intervals of time. The number of crew members and engineers on the ship has reduced. Many ships carry only 3-4 engineers on board a ship and even the time required to carry out maintenance on the ship has reduced. The number of crew members is less and the amount of machinery is more. Thats why it is so important to plan the maintenance

34

of the machinery that should be overhauled and maintained properly. Second engineer is responsible for planning the schedule of maintenance on a ship. There is no strict rules about the location of each item of equipment, but normally the engine room consists of several levels with different machinery such as auxiliary engines or diesel generators, a boiler, the inert gas plant, fresh water generator and purifiers, fuel and oil pumps and storage tanks, the engine control room, waste incinerator and some equipment like electrical panels at various levels. The location of the engine room itself isn't fixed for all types of ships. Most ships have engine room at the aft, while there are other variations in which it is located amidships or at the front side of the ship. The engine room can either be manned or unmanned, which basically means that either there are duty engineer and crew present 24 hours a day in the engine room (typically on a 4-on-4-off duty mode). The actual mode depends on the type of ship, the level of automation, and certain navigating conditions such as navigation in restricted waters and so on. When any watchkeeper enters the engine room, he is typically advised to follow a "funnel to tunnel" path where he starts inspecting the top most sections of the room and ends at the bottom most level. This helps to detect any leaks, abnormal noises, and other faults which may not be detected by the alarms and monitors installed on modern ships. Maintenance and repair of engine room machinery requires moving of heavy parts from one place to another. As individual parts of main engine and machinery of ship weighs in tonnes, engine room crane operation and safety are the most important for the continuous operation of the ship. If equipped with internal combustion or turbine engines, engine rooms comprise several means for providing air. If it is attended machinery space, additional ventilation should be available to keep engine room temperatures to acceptable limits. If it is UMS, the ventilation need only be sufficient to supply the engines with intake air. The requirement for general ventilation and the requirement for sufficient combustion air are quite different. Engines pull sufficient air into the engine room for their own operation. However, additional airflow for ventilation usually requires intake and exhaust blowers. Exercise 3. Give brief answers to the following questions: 1. Why is the engine room so dangerous? 2. What should engine room staff wear while working in machinery space? 3. What is about the number of the engineers and motormen in the engine room? 4. What is about the time for maintaining the machinery and equipment in machinery spaces? 5. Who is responsible for the schedule? 6. What is about the work time in the engine room? 7. Why are there different modes of working in the engine room? 8. What is the good piece of advice for engineers and motormen? 9. What is about engine room location? It depends

35

on . 10. The safety rules are very important in the machinery spaces, arent they? 11. How many types of engine rooms do you know? 12. Is it right, that the system of ventilation differs from the type of the engine rooms? Exercise 4.
