Recommendations on Engineering Watch/ Duty period hadover and inspections routines
Year: 2014 Language: english Author: OCIMF Genre: Guide Publisher: OCIMF Edition: 1st Format: PDF Quality: Unknown Pages count: 8 Description: The widespread introduction of machinery automation and associated alarm and control systems has significantly changed the nature of operational practices on board vessels. The extensive use of computers, monitoring tools and equipment has increased the volume and accuracy of data to the extent that there is a risk that the responsible officer may become insulated from the actual machinery status and performance. The current professional development of engineering staff tends to focus on the operation of highly automated vessels and may lack some of the practical elements associated with plant management. This information paper highlights the importance of regular inspections and routine walk-rounds of machinery spaces with the aim of addressing the perceived lack of appreciation for the need for traditional hands-on working practices.
