Q. Describe the duties of a Duty Engineer?
The duties of the Duty Engineer are as follows:
• Regularly check and record all pressures and temperatures in the engine room log.
• Pay attention to readings for deviation from normal, particular attention being made to exhaust gas temperatures, scavenge temperatures and pressures and turbo charger revs.
• Adjustments should be made for sea water temperature, changes to keep pressures and temperatures.
• Checks should be made on the pressure drops across fuel and lubricating oil filters to see that they are operating within the required limits.
• Check all oil levels in auxiliary machinery, main engine sump levels, cylinder lubricators, turbochargers and governors.
• Check around all bearings and crankcase doors using the palm of your hand to feel for any increase in temperature.
• Ensure that fuel in the daily service tanks is at the correct levels and that it is sludged and drained of water.
• Depending on the type of purifiers fitted, sludge and drain. Check oil levels, signs of vibration and clean if required.
• Carry out all routine assignments as recommended by engine builders or the company.
• At all times use sight, smell and hearing, as this is often the first sign of a fault developing in the engine room.
• Check bilge levels, stern gland, and air start bottles and maintain correct levels and pressures.
• Record all fuel/lub oil transfers and any irregularities in the log.
Q. What is the procedure for handing over a watch?
• The engineer should not vacate the engine room until his relief arrives.
• He should acquaint the relieving engineer of any abnormal operating conditions that have occurred during the watch.
• Any orders from the bridge, recorded in the log book should be pointed out.
• Instructions from...
