Getting to Know the Ship - The Engine Control Room
Read the dialogue and understand it in every detail.
1/Eng: Let me briefly show you the Control Room equipment. This ship is a so-called MO ship. The main engine can be operated from three places: the Bridge, here in the Control Room, and locally.
Santos: What situations require the main engine to be operated from the Bridge or locally?
1/Eng: We usually operate the main engine from the Bridge while at sea. We have to operate locally when the remote-control system breaks down. But special skills are required for that. We check and practice local operation before entering and leaving port. Will you be training soon?
Santos: Yes, but I'm not sure about the schedule.
1/Eng: The main engine is a Hitachi B&W 8S80MCE. Its CSO is 18,071 kilowatts at 69.7 RPMs. The diameter of the cylinders is 800 mm, and the piston stroke is 2,592 mm.
Santos: That's huge! A cylinder is big enough for an adult to work inside it.
1/Eng: Exactly. We can go and see a cylinder when we are changing an exhaust valve.
Santos: I'll look forward to that.
1/Eng: The main engine and most auxiliary machines are operated and turned on and off here in the Control Room. We can check their condition, too.
Santos: Do you mean that no one needs to stay in the Engine Room?
1/Eng: Not exactly. As I said before, we use the MO system so we don't need to check it while at sea. All of the Engine Room crewmembers engage in maintenance work. An engineer and an oiler assigned to an MO watch have to check and maintain the main engine and the equipment in the Engine Room. Whenever the MO alarm rings, they have to respond to it.
