lf-locking nuts provide tight connections that will not loosen under vibrations.  They meet critical specifications as to strength, corrosion resistance, and heat-resistant temperatures.  New selflocking nuts must be used each time components are installed. There are two general types of self-locking nuts.  They are the all metal nuts and the metal nuts with a nonmetallic insert to provide the locking action.  The elastic stop and the nonmetallic insert lock nut are examples of the nonmetallic insert type.  All metal self-locking nuts are constructed either of two ways. The threads in the load-carrying portion of the nut that is out of phase with the threads in the locking portion is one way.  The second way is with a saw-cut top portion with a pinched-in thread. The locking action of these types depends upon the resiliency of the metal.

Angle of Repose is the maximum slope angle of non-cohesive (i.e. free-flowing) granular material It is the angle between a horizontal plane and the cone slope of such material The angle of repose is a characteristic of non-cohesive bulk cargoes, which is indicative of cargo stability, and the purpose of which is to minimize the risk of bulk material shifting;  The cargo should be trimmed reasonably level to the boundaries of the cargo space Jn

SOLAS CHAPTER V, REG 14 The principles of minimum safe manning set out in section 3 to ensure the safe operation of ships to which article III of the 1978 STCW Convention, as amended, applies, and the security of ships to which chapter XI-2 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended, Principle : The capability to  Maintain safe navigational, port, engineering and radio watches in accordance with regulation VIII/2 of the 1978 STCW Convention, as amended, and also maintain general surveillance of the ship;  Moor and unmoor the ship safely;  Manage the safety functions of the ship when employed in a stationary or near-stationary mode at sea; Perform operations, as appropriate, for the prevention of damage to the marine environment; Maintain the safety arrangements and the cleanliness of all accessible spaces to minimize the risk of fire; Provide for medical care on board ship; Ensure safe carriage of cargo during transit; Inspect and maintain, as appropriate, the structural integr

Maritime law torts is a term covering cases where injury, loss or damage is caused to a person or their interests by another party’s action or negligence. Types of torts 3 types Intentional torts An intentional tort is a civil wrong that occurs when the wrongdoer engages in intentional conduct that results in damages to another. Negligence Careless conduct that results in damage to another is negligence Strict liability Generally, liability because of a tort only arises where the defendant either intended to cause harm to the plaintiff or in situations where the defendant is negligent.  However, in some areas, liability can arise even when there is no intention to cause harm or negligence. For example, in most states, when a contractor uses dynamite  which causes debris to be thrown onto the land of another and damages the landowner’s house, the landowner

The function of a reamer is to produce a smooth accurate surface in a bore such as that of a bearing or bush, for the shaft, pin or bolt to enter with a very good fit. In engine room Reamers are used for The stern tube hole in stern frame is cast/fabricate roughly under size. When Main Engine is aligned with centre line of the stern frame hole, this hole is reamed to required diameter to fit the stern tube. Fitted bolts on rudder palm and rudder carrier bearing housing for the press fit. They are to be reamed to exact diameter to avoid relative movement. If a hole is drilled for internal threads then before we start with the procedure of making threads (tapping) we have to make sure we get a smooth finish for the threads. In this respect, a reamer is a much better tool than a drill and can also produce finishes superior to normal machining on lathes. In fact, bores machined on lathes are often finished with reamers to improve the surface and bring them to size. Holes to be reame

International Maritime Organization (IMO) legislation states that the ship’s security alert system shall: Be initiated by pressing a dedicated SSAS button and transmitting a ship-to-shore security alert to a competent authority designated by the administration, which may include the company, identifying the ship, its location and indicating that the security of the ships is under threat or has been compromised Not send the ship security alert to any other ships Not raise any alarm on board the ship, and Continue the ship security alert until deactivated and/or reset. SSAS is not part of the GMDSS communication requirements but its equipment can be used to support the system. Ship security alerts can be sent using Inmarsat C and Mini C, SSAS regulations is that security alerts are required to be routed only to the Company Security Officer and the Flag. SSAS resetting after take over with change vessel particulars email address and flag contact address

Voltages up to & Including 1000V is known as Low voltage system and Voltages 1001 and above is called as High Voltage system in maritime practice for ships. Why High Voltage in Ships Higher power requirements onboard vessels is the foremost reason for the evolution of HV in ships. Higher power requirements have been necessitated by development of larger vessels required for container transort particularly for reefer containers. Gas carriers needing extensive cooling electrical propulsion. For ships with a large electrical power demand it is necessary to utilize the benefits of a high voltage HV installation. The design benefits relate to the simple ohms law relationship that current (for a given power)is reduced as the voltage is increased.  Working at high voltage significantly reduces the relative overall size and weight of electrical power equipment. As per Ohms law, POWER = VOLTAGE x CURRENT For a given Power, Higher the Voltage, Lesser is the Current 440 KW = 440,

Sequential : In this method the ballast tanks are emptied until the ballast pumps lose suction and then the tanks are further stripped by eductor systems. This is followed by taking fresh ballast into the tank. Flow through method:  In this method water in pumped into the tank and to allow it to overflow through the air vent or dedicated overflow vents. Three times the volume of the tank is to be pumped through to get a 95 percent efficiency of exchange. Dilution Method:  In this method the tank has two openings; water is pumped in from one opening and flows out through the other.
