In Water Survey

Hull survey while ship is afloat done by authorized diving company with surveillance of Class surveyor as the replacement of docking survey

Requirements for IWS
  • Age not greater than 15 years. ( Ships of age 15 years and over may be permitted as special consideration)
  • All ships excluding Enhanced Survey Program (ESP) ships, such as Bulk carrier, Oil Tankers and Dangerous chemical bulk carrie rs of 15 years of age and over.
  • Ship with class “IWS” notation.
  • Need agreement of Flag administration.
  • High quality paint coating for 7.5 years extended dry docking (EDD).
  • Fitted effective anodes, fitted effective current corrosion protection (ECCP).
  • Access arrangements for - sea valves, rudder bearing & pintle clearance.
  • Stern tube wear down measurement, bow & stern thruster  -seal checking  
Documents
  • Survey plan,
  • Location and date of IWS,
  • Detail of hull marks and drawings.
Preparations in dry dock for IWS notation
  • Fitted approved Cathodic protection system.
  • Ship hull is in a satisfactory condition – shot blasted and painted with high quality paint
  • Fitted means for renewal and/or measuring of clearances of
  • Rudder bearings and bushes, stern tube wear down
  • Measures for checking of sea valves and sea chests.
  • Shell openings to be fitted gratings with hinged grid plates.
  • Hull paint color - to assist divers for inspection of hull in next IWS.
  • Mark clearly under-water hull fittings.
  • Mark transverse & longitudinal bulkheads
  • Mark tanks boundaries
  • Mark openings of shell plating for sea valves, docking plugs, thruster unit, stabilizer fins
  • Mark propeller blades with numbers
  • Mark for checking of any relative movements in next IWS
  • Liners on shaft    -bushes of rudder and stern frame
  • Drawings and folders containing above markings
  • Agreed blanking methods of any shell openings

    In the age of high-tech security systems, it’s hard to recognize any other way to protect your home. As soon as the intruder crosses the threshold, they face blaring alarms or warnings that authorities have been notified. These are all excellent defense mechanisms, but can how to get rid of pricker bushes prevent intruders from breaking in in the first place?

Main engine interlocks

Interlocks are provided so that the engine can be started or reversed only when certain conditions have been fulfilled. When there is a remote control of engines, it is essential to have interlocks. This reduces the possibility of engine damage and any hazards to the operating personnel. Turning gear Interlock . This device prevents the engine from being started if the Turning gear is engaged. Running Direction Interlock . This prevents the fuel from being supplied if the running direction of the engine does not match the Telegraph. Starting Air Distributor in end position . This prevents starting from taking place if the shifting of the Distributor has not been completed. Main Lube. oil pressure, Piston cooling pressure, Jacket water pressure, and important parameters must be above the required minimum. Auxiliary Blower Interlock . The Auxiliary Blower is provided in case of Constant pressure turbo charging. Air Spring pressure Interlock . In case of the present generation...

Differences between MC/MC-C and ME/ME-C engines

The electrohydraulic control mechanisms of the ME engine replace the following components of the conventional MC engine: Chain drive for camshaft Camshaft with fuel cams, exhaust cams and indicator cams Fuel pump actuating gear, including roller guides and reversing mechanism Conventional fuel pressure booster and VIT system Exhaust valve actuating gear and roller guides Engine driven starting air distributor Electronic governor with actuator Regulating shaft Engine side control console Mechanical cylinder lubricators. The Engine Control System of the ME engine comprises: Control units Hydraulic power supply unit Hydraulic cylinder units, including: Electronically controlled fuel injection, and Electronically controlled exhaust valve activation Electronically controlled starting air valves Electronically controlled auxiliary blowers Integrated electronic governor functions Tacho system Electronically controlled Alpha lubricators

Manganese bronze is not typically used as a propeller material .Why

1. High cost: Manganese bronze is a costly alloy, making it less economical for large propellers. 2. Low strength-to-weight ratio: Compared to other propeller materials like nickel-aluminum bronze or stainless steel, manganese bronze has a lower strength-to-weight ratio. 3. Susceptible to corrosion: Manganese bronze can corrode in seawater, especially when exposed to high velocities and turbulence. 4. Poor cavitation resistance: Manganese bronze is more prone to cavitation damage than other materials. 5. Difficult to cast and machine: Manganese bronze is challenging to cast and machine, making it less desirable for complex propeller geometries. 6. Limited weldability: Manganese bronze has poor weldability, making repairs and modifications difficult. Nickel-aluminum bronze or stainless steel are commonly used for propellers due to their: - High strength and durability - Excellent corrosion resistance - Good cavitation resistance - Ease of casting and machining - Weldability
