Exhaust Gas Boilers: About 30% – 34% of Fuel Energy input to engine are discharged to Exhaust Gas, as Thermal Energy. This thermal energy is converted into useful work in Exhaust Gas Boiler. Cochran Exhaust Gas Boiler: 1. A double-pass, vertical type, in which Exhaust gases from ME pass through 2 banks of tube. 2. …
Lubricating Oil Viscosity: 1. A measure of internal resistance to flow. 2. Viscosity of an oil changes with temperature, falling when temperature rises and vice versa. 3. For crankcase oil, viscosity is between 130 – 240 Sec. Redwood No. 1 at 60°C. 4. For cylinder oil, viscosity is 12.5 – 22 Cst. Viscosity Index, VI: …
Image Credit: Marinelink Survey: Authorised independent examination, investigation, and inspection, measuring or testing of ship structure, machinery and equipment, done and supervised by Surveyors appointed by regulatory or commercial organisations. Classification Societies: They are third party independent bodies e.g. ABS (American Bureau of Shipping), BV (Bureau Veritas), LR (Lloyd’s Register), ClassNK (Nippon Kaiji Kyokai), DNV …
Electrical Survey: Electrical equipment inspected and tested, during complete engine survey, at 4 years interval. Such a survey is prescribed, under the rules and regulations for the classification of ship. Following survey items generally apply to all ships: 1. Generators and governors. 2. Circuit breakers 3. Switchboard and fittings (main and emergency switchboard, distributor switchboard). …
Source: MAN Diesel (MAN-B&W-K98MC) Cylinder liner wears: 1) Normal frictional wear: Due to metal to metal contact with high surface asperities under marginal lubrication condition. 2) Abrasive wear: Due to presence of hard foreign particles from fuel, LO, and air. 3) Corrosive wear:Due to H₂SO₄ acid attack owing to sulphur within fuel. Only 0.1% of sulphur …

INTRODUCTION: For any fire to begin, the fire tringle needs to be completed. To complete a fire tringle there must be present of a combustible material, oxygen or air to support combustion and a source of heat in proportional ratio and within the flammable limits, the reaction which causes fire or explosion becomes cyclic. Image …
INTRODUCTION: For any fire to begin, the fire tringle needs to be completed. To complete a fire tringle there must be present a combustible material, oxygen or air to support combustion and a source of heat at a temperature high enough to start combustion.

Monitoring Reporting & Verification (MRV) is a standardised method to produce an accurate CO2 emissions inventory, through the quantification of CO2 emissions. The key principles of the scheme are to generate robust results using a lean approach considering parameters which are already monitored during normal operations. It is advocated as a way of monitoring a ship’s …
